commencement of the service, groups of intending hearers are scattered about the building, some sitting meditatively quiet. reading hymn books or Bibles, others holding subdued discussions upon revival themes. In the galleries are temporary stands, which make the hall sort of ob- long amphitheatre, the speakers platform being on one of the sides. The abundant use of the crimson cloth in drapipg the stands has given very comfortable as- pect to what is, perhaps, in its normal state one of the dreariest looking public buildings in the Midland Counties. As the hours wear on, small groups of people are, by wise arrangement, admitted as they assemble at the doors, and thus crowd1ng and crushing at the entrances in great measure are obviated. Suddenly, from some part of the assembling mass, is heard the beginning of hymn. As fresh corners enter, the strains are taken up, and the effect in the empty and resonant space is singularly impressive. Rank af- ter rank of the silent sitting crowds take up the melody, until it fairly rolls through the building. The greatest favorite seems the hymn ''Hold the Fort" The chorus is founded upon an incident in the late American war. A Federal fort was sorely pressed by Stonewall Jackson's troops. Trimmed by the assaults of the enemy, they had all but determined to capitulate, when, far in the horizon, they saw rein forcements advancing, and read the signal of their friends, "Hold the fort, for am coming" the message having appended the name of well-known Federal general. This chorus the martial spirit and stirring effect of which must be heard to be appre- oioha1 iT,S +c f,111aoH hoo11kxy rao1c
 Hold the fort, for I am coming.
 Jesus signals still;
 Waive the signal back to heaven,
 By Thy grace we will.
 Singing this and other hymns, crowds of people continue to pour in until the hall is filled, tenthousand chairs being occu- pied. Round the galleries, too, are th1ok frinSo of human foooG, and tho hell seems to be from one end to the other, literally packed with human beings.
 The Gospel addresses delivered every evening to these vast audiences by Mir. Moody have their effect heightened by the hymns and solos of Mir. Sankey. In his discourses Mr. Moody evidently knows the power of describing home life, both scriptural and modern, with all its pathet- ic touches. Relating now some of his own American experiences, or, again, incidents of his stay in England or Dublin, he charges home upon his hearers the lessons he wishes learnt. Now and again he moves many persons in the audience to tears by homely expression so entirely spontaneous and unstilted that it carries every one with it. And when, after the sermon and period for silent prayer. the preacher exhorts those who ''really would like to be Christians to go right to the Presbyterian Church," where he would hundred persons obey the call, it cannot but be conceded that Mir. Moody's orato- ", whatever It's excellence or defects, can produce results which are unusually and significantly powerful.

WESTERN KANSAS.

In speaking of Western Kansas we wish it distinctly understood that we refer to the region between the Smoky Hill and Saline River, Tn lat. 39o and long. 99o west, unless otherwise specified. On look ing over an Eastern paper. see Professor Tise gives an explanation of the cause of the storms of wind which sweep over Western Kansas.-Here it is,-'All winds flow out of 8 high barometer and into a low one. The'high barometer is in the direction whence the wind comes, and the low Tn the direction vhither it goes." That reminds us of the Doctors technical diagnosis of the Busters sick child. The father, having listened with profound at- tention, exclaimed. 'sThat's just what I told its mother, but she lowed twas Wurnas." The Professor finds the source of the Western gales on the plains of the Amazon. We don't doubt that, Or even If he had said they originate of Cape Horn we should agree to it. -.
 THE NOBLE RED MAN.
 -
 Our first acquaintance with the real Liue Indians was in the summer of 1850. just twenty-five years ago. when with 2 party of seven companions wecrossed the Father of Waters at St. Joseph, Mo. and took the overland route across the Indian Territory which constitutes the states of Kansas and Nebraska, thence pia the south Pass and onward to Oregon and California. For period of nearly four months there was scarcely a day that we did not see or meet with parties of differ ent tribes. They all seemed friendly un- hi we passed the mountins. True, there was some stealing of stock or more ire quently maiming of animals by shooting arroWs into them at night so that it was necessary to abandon them to the Indi- ans; end whenever parties, were attacked n seemed that their object was plunder and net slaughter. A party of two were frayeling 2. mile from the trail when two

valuable of any kind produced on the

tection. Either keep by itself under a
shed protected from the weather, or
mix it with coal ashes or dry earth. For
