HENRY WARD BEEoHER in the
course of recent sermon said: "Men
do not like 10 labor because the worker
ranks below the thinker. That's a
democratic feeling. | say I'm just as
good as any other man because all men
are equal. They are not equal in size, nor
height; not equal in virtue; but all men
are clvilly equal before the law When
a man says, I'm Just as good as any
man, it may be so, and 1t may not be
50. When the universal man says 30,
it is a lie
Forty years once seemed a long and
weary pilgrimage to tread; it now seems
but a step And yet along the way are
broken shrlnes where thousand hopes
have wasted into ashes; foot Prints sa.
cred under drifting duel; green mounds
whose grass is fresh with watering
tears, shadows even we could not forget
We will garner the sunshine of those
years, and with chastened steps and
reasonable hopes push. or towards the
evening, whose signal light will soon be
seen swinging whers the waters are
still and storms never come"

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:
First-It would lessen the burden of
many who now find it hard to maintain
their places in society.
Second-It would lessen the force Of
temptations which often lead men to
barter honesty and honor for display.
Third-If there was less strife in
dress at church, people in moderate cir
cumstances would be more inclined to
attend.
Fourth--Moderation in dress at
church would imp owe the worships by
the removal of many wandering
thoughts.
Fifth--It would enable all classes of
people to attend church 10 unfavorable
weather.
Sixth--It would lessen on the part
of the rich the temptation to vanity.
Seventh--It would lessen on the
part Of the poor the temptation to be
envious and malicious.
Eighth--It would save valuable tim
on the Sabbath.
Ninth-It would relieve our means
from a serious pressure, and thus ena.
BILE US to do more for good enterprises.

Star-Depths.

The mind of man utterly fails to real
!ze the immensity of space, and no one
nnaccustomed TO the telescope can have
any adequate idea Of the difference pre-
sentei by the heavens when viewed by
the naked eye, even upon clear night,
nd the scene which is disclosed to the
eye of the astronomer. How difficult
it Is TO realize that each star in the sol
emu depths of the universe is a SUI like
our own sun, but separated one from
each other and our own by distances
almost beyond the power Of man to
compute!
Only about three Thousand stars can
be distinctly seen and counted by the
naked eye. while an ordinary telescope
reveals the presence of something like
three hundred and fifty thousand Her
schels great eighteen inch instrument
shows one hundred and eighty million,
while the Ross telescope, by its vast
penetrating power is supposed to open
TO our vision not less than sewn hun.
bred million. And yet, when the
whole heaven is swept by this telescope,
we have only penetrated distance into
space from our standpoint on the globe
which. compared TO the immensely be.
yond. is no more than the space occu-
pied by the room where we write or
read is to the immensely Of depth pene.
trated blythe last mentioned instruments.

shipwreck. After laboring diligently and ef-

Capt. Carlsen, the Norwegian navigator whe
has recently reported his rediscovery Of spitz-
bergen, makes curious revelation. Nearly
three centuries ago, in 1896, William Borantz,
Dutch navigator, sailed On his second voyage to
discover the passage to Asia through the Arctic
Ocean, reached the archipelago, and landed on
the coast Of spitzbergen- He pitched his tants,
built huts, and passed the winter there. When ho
abandoned the coast, he left the hnts and their
contents as they were. From tnat time to the
time that Capt. Carlson landed on the coast, in
the year 1870, no man had ever touched the sama
spot. Capt. Carlsen found the huts Of the old
Dutch navigator just as he had left them, ,---the
relics Of the fire that had been ettinguished 500
years before still lying On the hearth the booka
on the shelves, including work on navigation
and history Of China which had been translated
