Mr.. Talmage, in his discourse yesterday morning,
drew some very timely lessons from the impending
autumnal fight of the birds from the North to the
warmer cmes Of the South. His text was from
Jeremiah, viii, 1.-THE stork in the heaven
knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and
the crane and the swallow observe the time Of
their coming; but My people know not the judg-

out the idea OF the text to show that the birds OF
the air have more sagacity than men, and begin
BY saying that they mingle music with their work.
