Spurge0l on Starch.

THAT dreadful ministerial starch"
attracts the attention Of Spurgeon, who
says to his brother clergyman:
''1f you have INDUCED in it would
earnestly advise you to go and wash in
Jordan seven times, and get it out of
you, every particle of it. | am per-
suaded that one reason why our work
ingmen 50 universally keep clear of
ministers is because they abhor their
artificial and unmanly ways. If they
saw us, IN the pulpit and out of it, act
ing like real men, they would come
around US, Baxter remark still hold
ing good The want Of familiar
tone and expression rs great fault in
most Of our deliveries and that which
we should be very careful to correct
The vice of the ministry is that minis
ters will 1oersonifcate the gospel. We
must have humanity along with our
divinity if we would win the masses.
Everybody can ssee through afecta-
ton. and people are not likely to be
taken in by them. Fling away your
stills, brethren, and walk on your feet;
doff your eccIesiasticism and array
yourself in truth. -

Dress Plainly.

Some one has given the following
reasons why people should dress plain
ly on Sunday. These reasons are as
valid any other day in the week:
l. 1t would lessen the burden of
many who find it hard to maintain
their places in society.
2. 1t would lessen the force of
temptations which often lead men to
barter honesty and honor for display.
l. II there was less strife in dress
at church, people in moderate circum-
stances would be more inclined to at
tend
4. Universal moderation in dress
at church would improve the worship
by the removal of many wandering
thoughts.
5. 1t would enable all classes to
attend church in unfavorable weather.
6. 1t would lessen on the part of
the rich the temptation to vanity.
7. 1t would lessen on the part of
the poor the temptation to be envious
and malicious.
s. 1t would save valuable time on
the Sabbath.
9. 1t would relieve our means from
serious pressure, and thus enable US
to do more for good enterprises.

of half melancholy spender We

tember creates some pictures that for
depth of tone. and breadth of light and
shade are not eqealied by any il the
whole year. There are few days in
this month when the sky is without
large masses cf fieecy clouds that give
an endless and cver-shifting succession
Of floating shadows, silently softening
by their Influence the appearance Of
teo good maturity which the slight
fading green Of the hills and fields
would otherwise show Here too comes
in the harmony of the all-pervading
yellow, by whose real brightness the
increasing dullness of the earth's verdi
ure is disguised and averted On the
hillside the Golden Rod mods it, feath-
cry head in the wind, and On she river
bottoms, and in the valleys, the wind
ings of the streams may be marked for
miles by their golden borders, making
the country gorgeous with their
brightness. Among the flowers of
September tee, are many of the royal
purple hue; and others of pure white
but few of the delicate shades Of
spring and summer flowers. The CON-
slant ehcrous of insects in the grass.
the pleasant fiuttering winds, the
~arp days, cool nights, and the glori-
Gus light Of the harvest moon, are
some Of the characteristics af this;
season Of mellow fruitfulussa;
Close bosom friend of the maturing sun;
Cor nIcinr with him how to ioad and bfesa
With fruit the vines tha: round the thatch=

An al all fruit with Fipanes to the core;

Until they think warta days will never oease,

these volunteer friends who are lust now

which we speak, and incidentally We may
say that If our consuls were subjected 20
Q similar examination before they leave
home 1t might save good deal of trouble
IN sending an inspector 10 see what they
were doing abroad. The close pursuit Of
deia ultlng postmasteYs by the uncompro.

ment shows that men can not fitch
themselves rich and lay the responsibility
upon the party which has unnecessarily
given them the opportunity TO do SO. The
downfall Of Tweed, the iguominious in
generation at hard labor Of fngersoll and
harrington for the crime Of forgery shows
that villains of high degree can not hope
to compound their piratical crimes for
gifts vowed 20 the campaign fund Of thei,

postmasters in Northwest Louisiana is
evidence that even che smalles. fry can
not escape through the meshes Of the law.
