The ever-increasing circulation of this ex
cellent monthly proves its continued adapta-
tion to popular desires and needs. Indeed,
when we think into how many homes it pene-
trates every month, we must consider it as one
of the educators as well as entertainers of the
public mind, for its vast popularity has been
won by no appeal to stupid prejudices or de-
PRAYED tastes.-l Boston Globe.
The character which this Magazine possesses
for variety, enterprise, artistic wealth, and
literary culture that has kept pace with, if it
has not led the times, should cause its conduc-
tors to regard it with justifable complacency.
1t also entities them t9 great claim upon the
good and not evil all the days Of its life,-

The s.Dry Fallsr-North Carolina.

I 4AC Wy ais AVA ~ ON-A
1t was q Hibernianism to call
this glorious cascade the "Dry
Falls" but the name was suggest
cd by the fact that one may pass
beneath the giant shelf, oyer
which it pours, without receiving
n severe wetting, although the
spray is at times binding. The
river, coming to a dizzy height,
leaps with such violence that the
water is projected far from the
rock, and the beholder seems to
see q lace veil, at least sixty feet
long, dependent from the hoary
walls of the canon. Passing un-
der it, along the slippery rocks,
one comes out upon another stone
under beetling precipices, from
which little streems run down,
and around which the mist and
spray rise, and can note the
changing CLEANS of the sunshine
as they play on the immense mass
of foam suspended between earth
and sky. Below, the stream
clutches passionetely at the rocks,
and now and then throws them
down into the chasm; there are
hollows in the stones which have
been worn to . considerable
depth by the pattering of the
spray of hundreds of years upon
them. Here Q monument of wall
rises dozens of feet from the
chaos which is huddled at the
falPs bottom. Many of the rude
figures seem to have human re-
semblances, and one might imag-
inc them giants risi ng from the
canon's depths to tear away the
veil which has been drawn across
the entrance OF their cavern.
The stream runs on q hundred
and fifty feet below the summit of
the falls in whirlpools and eddies,
now forming into inlets in which
reeds, ferns and blossoms flourish,
and now making a deep, steady
current, cold and crystal clear.
The pines and spruces seventy
feet high seem but toys by the
side of the immense walls; the
light, too, in the canon through
the mountain, is strange and fan
t2stic, and seems to cast a CLAM
our over every minute object.
Even the Spebbles, and the ferns
and tiny grass-sprouts in the soil
beneath the shelf over which the
falls pour, are purple.
Then the Voice-the voice Of
fall! Heard from the laural
thicket, it seems to come from the
very ground under your feet;
heard from the cavern into which
you pass, it is somber and COM
planning, like the Winter wind
about your hoase chimneys; and
as it echoes from the foot of the
rapids, to which you may descend
il you have firm nerves and a
quick step, are like those from
some unseen choir in a cathed raj
gallery-some chant of priest at
High Mass, monotonous, grand,
inspiring; the height, the glow,
the gloom, the glory" all blended,
shock and awe the soul. Here is
q fall upon whose virgin rocks no
quack has painted his STAINLESS
sign; whose precipices have not
been Invaded by the mob Of the
grand tour; whose solitary mag
nificence thrills and impresses
you as if in some barren land you
came upon the dazzling luster of
q priceless diamond. But to this,
and its brother q few miles below,
the feet Of the thousands of the
curious will hereafter wander
Scribners for March.

Stupidity in the Prsyer-AIeeting

We believe that at least half the
prayers offered are needlessly
long, and often mere dispositions
on the formulous of religious
truth, or a swinging around the
circle of the divine attributes,
with q few sentences within the
circle of finally, which usually
begins with such expressions as
we leave US with thee, etc., which
can by any possibility be called
prayer. We have e very distinct
remembrance of q Scotchman on
whom we were compelled to call
to pray, because he was pious and
always present but each time
against the protest of the congre-
CATION J.. His prayer was made up
of = string of quotations from
Scripture, on almost every subject,
which he would deliver as steadily
as if he was taking aim at some
mansion in the skies. And on
one occasion we came in after
somebody had set him agoing, he
went on and on without sign of
abatement, when q brother near
by grOdned, and we heard, in a
half-smothered whisper, "Lord
make him quit" This feeling in
creased until IL became perplexing
TO. the, pastor, Who fell upon this
device. to meet the case. The SER
xices were nomlnally eta quarter
before eight o'clock, when a few
came, but most did not get IN un-
til eight. And when the time
came when it was proper to call
on this brother the pastor would
hurry to church, and start him of
like an alarm clock, and by the
time he was through the people
would be standing from the door
down the church-yard, through
the gate, on the pavement; almost
the entire prayer force of the
church would be waiting for the
Amen of this longwinded brother.
We call that g prodigality OF
church privilege.
Bat another abuse in which Mr.
Stupidity is skilled is in kind Of
spiritual vagFapcy which takes al
the directness out Of his prayer
If he is in need OF q half dollar
he will make q bee line for it
But if he needs the gifts of God
he will travel all around them hal
dozen times before he asks fol
them. We cannot tell how this Of
fects God, but we do know how Il
affects men. We know that the
Saviour said that the Kingdom o.
heaven suffereth violence, and thu
violent take it by force, and suct
usually move on straight lines
When will we learn that in child
hood are the best analogfes o
Christian life? and 8 fair Undue
ton from the Saviour's words
: makes Christian life q glorifieC
childhood. And children neve
want directness in their petition
for the qualification of their wants
What child ever prefaced the ex
: preston of q want by Aattelini
utterances for about Eve minutes
E and then, by q circumlocution @
about thrse more, asked for
piece of bread? Many spen
minutes in what seems as muc
like adulation IS adoration, hsfoT
: they begin to pray ct all, or b
= naming or dwelling on attribute
Il which they have never understood
perhaps never will, and may nc
exist.-Presbyterian.
