THE ARABS PRoor.- Some years ago a
Frencmnau who, ike many Of bis country
men, had Won a high rank among men Of
science, yet who denied the God who is the
Author of all science, was crossing the great
Sahara in company with an Arab guide. lie
noticed, with a sneer, that at certain times,
his guide, whatever obstacles might arise,
put them all aside, and, kneeling on the
burning sands, called on his God.
Day after day passed, and still the Arab
never failed, till at last one evening the phil
osopher, when be rose from his knees, asked
him, with oontemptuous smile " How do
You know there is God 2" The guide
fixed his eyes on the scoffer, for a moment,
in wonder and then said, solemnly How
do know there is a God /? How do know
that a man and not camel passed my
hut last night in the darkness? Was it
not by the print Of his foot in the sand 2
Even st" and he pointed to the sun, whose
last rays were flashing over the lone desert,
" that footprint is not that Of a man."

THE ANGER or THE LoRD.-God's anger
is holy. II is not unkind. 1t does not arise
from any defect Of love. 1t is the feeling in
view Of wrong doing which holy Being
ought TO have. II is right 1t is a feeling
which exactly suits the fact. 1t is a feeling
which relates to the sinner as well as to his
SIM Sin is unreasonable. It is immeasura-
bly, injurious. Sin, if it is sin at all, is ut
terly inexcusable. Justice abhors It. Love
loathes IT, Mercy itself burns with infinite
anger towards it. The wrath Of the Lamb -
is the holy anger Of spurned mercy, One
who can look on and see fendish crime
committed, aud not feel fierce anger burn
ing in his heart. has not a good heart. 1t is
either dead and blind, or else bad Holy
anger is not revenge. 1t has in it no touch
of selfshness. II is rather the indignation
of beHerolence at that which does harm.--

CHAPTER TX.

On Sunday Mr. Blake took Mr., Darley's
class in Sunday-school, in which were Harry
Amcs aud Simon Byttes During the OPEN
ing prayer Simon's wandering thoughts
were arrested 10y Mr.. Readwelps prayer.
"Oh dear" he said to himself " that
means a revival. know it it's sure thing,
and hate the whole business wish the
parson wouldn't pray so."
When the heads were raised, Simon won
dered that nobody seemed 10 be conscious of
anything unusual in the minister's words or
manner, and tried 10 persuade himself that
his own impression was only silly fancy
The lesson was the fifty-ffth chapter of
Isaiah. Harry repeated the first verse, ST.
mon the second, and 10 on alternately until
they came to the seventh verse, which Harry
stumbled over. Looking up he expected To
see a smile of derision on Simon's face, as
usual, but 10 his surprise heavy shadow
was resting there; the eyes were downeast,
the brow knitted as if the thoughts behind
il were perplexing and unwelcome. When
the patched verse was finished, Simon said,
rather bultly 81 do not. know any more"
This waynot am unusual circumstance, as
Mr. barley, the regular teacher, could testify;
but IL was uncommon for Simon TO be
troubled by it. lie used rather TO pride him
self on his neglect, aud ridicule the other
boys for cramming themselves with what
they didn't understand.

sounds can be heard, as IL were, running
into and uniting with each other in very
agreeable manner But the effect of n
variety of instruments playing in concert
is particularly charming"
The ticking of a watch can be heard

words spoken in low voice at one side of
the nave can be heard on the opposite, dis
tant seventy-five feet. In the Whispering
Gallery of st. Paul's the falntest sound is
carried from one side of the cupola to the
other, without being audible in the inter.
mediate spaces. Sir John Herschel tells
of cathedral in Sicily where confcs-
sional was so placed that the whispered
confessions of the pcnitent were reflected
by the curved ceiling and conveyed in n
focus at Il distant part of the building. AT
this latter point could be distinctly heard
the low words intended alone for the ear of
the priest.
One of the most pleasing amusements Of
the aerial voyages consists in observing
the beauty of the echoes while passing
over sheet of water. No other surface
reflects sound so well as that of a smooth
expanse of lake or sea. Every syllable
that falls on its polished face is repeated
with the utmost purity, while much louder
sounds fail to win an echo from the level
plains. Deep wells, like rocky clefts and
caverns, are favorable for the production
Of resonances. A needle dropped into the

An Indian Maiden's Cunning Trick.

STORIES from the Indian country are so
numerous and remarkable as rather to tax
civilized credulity. The following has a
touch of nature in it which recommends 1t,
whether true or false. A year and a half
ago an Ogallala squaw, the "splendid-
looking" daughter of chief, fell in love
with young medicine man among the
Arapahoes. Her father had determined to
give her to the chief of band of Sioux
As they jOurneyed northward to meet the
favored lover she fell sick and wasted
away day by day until she appeared to be
dying. The rest of the story can best be
given in the words of the correspondent
who tells it, Zone evening while in this
condition she told the old squaw, her
mother, to place some food by her wher-
ever they would place her when dead
CThe Indians here do not bury their dead,
but lay the bodies on raised scaffolds,
leaving a supply of food, ammunition and
pony by the scaffold, for the deceased to
enter the happy hunting grounds with J
1t so happened that the same night after
the interview with the mother, relative TO
grub, the girl died. OF course the body
was disposed of in due Indian fashion, a
box and scaffold were prepared for its re-
cepfon, and, with all due ceremony and
mourning, the young squaw was conveyed
to her last resting place. That evening the
camp was scene of hustle in taking down
the tents or wigwams, for it is the custom
when an Indian dies for the balance of the
tribe to move away quickly to another
locality. Everything was made ready to
be moved by daylight next morning, and
all well started, when the old chiefthought
he would have parting cry beside the
scaffold whereon his dead daughter lay.
For this purpose the chief and his squaw
went to the top of the hill where they had
planted the body; but when they reached
there the box was empty and the provis-
ions gone. Why says Nick, who had
been telling the foregoing story, and
was yelling and enjoying it as good
joke, the gal wasn't dead, but eloped
with the young medicine man who had
followed her right down from the Missouri
TO here. Now, says he, concluding

To Move or Not To Move.

ONE OF the most enthusiastic men we
have met in praise of a colony in the
Northwest has been for years "A residen;
OF Tennessee The most eXtrayagant
praise of Tennessee we have seen comes
from gentleman residing in Minnesota
Hundreds Of men can be found who heart
lily believe Florida possesses advantages
superior to any other State. Other hun.
dreds equally heartily believe Washington
| Territory decidedly the most flourishinp
| field for emigrants. Several hundreds Of
families of Mennonites from Southern
Russia have settled in Southern Kansas
Other hundreds are now on their way to
Manitoba, in the far North.
Instances might be multiplied indef-
nitely to show that no one place or latitude
has all the advantages, and then an equal
number might be given to show that nc
place is free from disadvantages. Wisely
and considerably this earth has been so
arranged that advantages and disadvan-
tages are everywhere TO be found In this
country there is abundant room for mil
lions more, all of whom can find desirable
homes, and none of whom can Justly say
that in all things their location is better
than any other. - ta
We do not counsel every one to remain
where he is; we do insist that it is the
part of wisdom to be sure you are right"
before one decides TO "go ahead" There
are many reasons why man who is doing
fairly well in his present location should
very carefully look over the whole ground
before deciding TO remove. 1t is wise too
for the man who is not doing we'll to be
sure that the fault is in his location be-
fore he decides to remove. If there be

poor success in business arises from the
location, by all means change it, but let il
always be understood beforehand that the
new location will also have some disad.
vantages.
1t is well for those who are endeavoring
to induce immigration to their several To-
calities to fairly state both sides of the
question, for one immigrant who comes
because he has decided to do so with a
full understanding of the disadvantages
as well as the advantages will be worth
two who will feel they have been de-
ceived. We suggest also that il Is better
10 make statements positively rather than
comparatively. Comparisons are odious
in this matter. Let Nebraska man say
as strongly as he please that his State is a
fine one, very desirable, etc, etc, and his
Kansas neighbors will prObablyagree with
him, and almost certainly will not object.
Let him say that Nebraska is superior to
Kansas and nine out of ten of the Kansas
people who read his statement will natu-
rally be indignant, and half dozen will
proceed toprove that Kansas is better than
Nebraska. "

of their State or neighborhoods do so care,

Forest Culture.

AMONG the new crops of this generation
may be mentioned the forest-trees for
shade, protection and use. The folly of
denuding the earth of its best protection
is shown in the recent floods which have
desOlated the naked sides of the Apen-
mines and Pyrenees. Had the old forest
growth been protected instead of being
swept off by the imprOvident people it
would have served to equalize the temper
ature, regulate the humidity and store up
in the vast reservoirs beneath its roots
water for use in time of need. Forests
tend to prevent both great floods and
great droughts.
American farmers are now learning to
plant trees, not only to temper the eX-
tremes of heat and cold and serve for
wind-belts, as on the Western prairies,
but as marketable commodity. The fa-
vorlte trees for planting seem to be the
ash, black walnut, elm, sugar maple and
cottonwood. Ten acres of ash twelve
years old are worth So 900, or $50 an acre.
while the trimmings pay for planting and
cultivation. Ten acres of black ash
planted for hOOp-pOles, four feet apart,
Will net $4,000 in seven years. An acre
of honey-locust fifteen years old is worth
81 600. Elm can be made equally profit
able. 1t is to be borne in mind, also, that
our pine forests are being rapidly ex-
hausted. They are vigorously trying to
renew themselves, but the vandal ax-man
is mortal foe, and he is moving down
the heaviest woods of Maine, Pennsyl-
vania, New YORK, Michigan and Mime
sofa. AS this source of supply fails
some other must be opened, and it looks
as if much of the building and furniture
lumber of the next century would come
rom our artificial forestry. r. Graphic
