The Bible.

The Bible is a deep book, when depth is
required-that is to say, for deep people,
But it is not intended particularly for pro-
found persons on the contrary, much more
for shallow aud simple persons. And there
fore the first, and generally the main and
leading idea of the Bible is on its surface,
written in the plainest possible Greek, He
brew or English, needing no penetration or
amplification, needing nothing but what we
might all give-attention. But this which
is in every ones power, aud is the only thing
that God wants, is just the last thing that
anyone will give Him. We are delighted to
ramble away into day dreams TO repeat pet
verses from other places, suggested by chance
words to snap at AN expression which suits
our particular views. But the plain, in
tended, immediate, fruitful meaning, which
every one ought to find always, and especi-
ally that which depends on our seeing the
relation of the verse to those near it, and
getting the force of the whole passage in due
relation--this sort or significance we do not
look for it being truly not to be discovered
unless we really attend to what is said in
stead Of to our own feelings.-RWkm.

Outdoor Exercise for Mothers.


Consider it your religious duty to take
outdoor exercise, without fail, each day.
Sweeping and trotting around the house
will not take its place; the exhilaration Of
the open air and change of scene are abso-
lutely necessary. O, know all about Lucy's
gown that is not finished" and Tommy S

your lap, as if to add the last ounce to the

not more important that your children, in
their tender years, should not be left moth
erless, and that they should not be born to
that feeble constitution of body which will
blight every earthly blessing? Let buttons
and strings go you will take hold of them
with more vigor and patience when you do
return bright and refreshed and if every
stitch be not finished at just such a moment
(and 1t is discouraging not to be able TO sys-
tematize in your labor, even with your best
etforts), still remember that " she who hath
done what she could is entitled to no mean

The Indian Summer.

The halcyon period of our autumn will
always in some way be associated with the
Indian. 1t is red and yellow and dusky like
him. The smoke OF his campfire seems
again in the air. The memory of him per
Yades the woods. His plumes and moccasins
and blanket of skins form just the costume
the season demands. 1t was doubtless his
choicest period. The gods smiled upon him
then if ever. The time of the chase, the
season OF the buck and the doe, and of the
ripening of all forest fruits the time when
all men are incipient hunters, when the first
frosts have given pungency to the air, when
to be abroad on the hills or in the woods is
delight that old and young feel--if the red
aborigine ever had his summer of fulness
and contentment it must have been at this
season, and it ftly bears his name. In how
many respects fall initiates or parodies the
spring; it is indeed, in some of its features,
a sort of second youth of the year. Things
emerge and become conspicuous again. The
trees attract all eyes, as in May. The birds
come forth from their summer privacy and
parody their spring reunions and rivalries
some of them sing little after a silence Of
months. The robins, blue-birds, meadow
larks, sparrows, crows--all sport and call,
and behave in manner suggestive OF spring.
The cock grouse drums in the woods as he
did in April and May. The pigeons reap
pear and the wild geese and ducks. The
witch hazel blooms. The trout spawns.
The streams are again full The air is
humid and the moisture rises in the ground.
Nature is breaking camp as in spring she
was going into camp. The spring yeaming
and restlessness is represented in one by the
increased desire to travel Spring is the in
spiration, fall the expiration, Both seasons
have their equinoxes, both their filmy, hazy
air, their ruddy forest tints, their cold rains,
their drenching fogs, their mystic moons /;
both have the same solar light aud warmth,
the same rays of the sun yet, after all, how
different the feelings which they inspire.
One is the morning, the other the evening I;
one is youth, the other is age.-Scridaer's

Made Their Pile.

sundays Leaier announced the arrival at
Fort Laramie, of W. r. Wheeler and party
with one thousand nine hundred pounds OF
gold, gathered from one claim on Deadwood
creek Black Hills, during the past five
months. Mr. w. Z. Wheeler and his part
ners, c. Farnham, r.. Ryan, and Joseph
Webber, arrived here yesterday noon, ac-
companied by an armed escort of fifteen
men. who are paid two hundred dollars each
for their services in accompanying and
guarding the treasure trove from Deadwood
TO this city. A reporter of the Leader ac-
companied by Mr.. w. H. Bennett of Alpha
mine fame, visited them, last evening. AZ
ter pleasant chat about the Hills. the re-
porter asked to see the gold, and Mr.. Wheeler
unlocked the stout satchels in which the
gold, which was enclosed in buckskin bags,
was packed, taking out bag after bag until
there was scarcely space on the floor of the
large room where an ordinary-szed foot
could have been put down without covering
a bag of dust and then there were still sew
eral unopened satches. Several bags were
opened, the gold appearing to be all coarse,
flat flakes, with not over five per cent. of it
either -four gold or dust Wheeler and his
partners left here for the mines, March 27.
Upon arriving thei purchased claim No. 2,
on Deadwood, which they worked with a
force of from sixteen to twenty men, until
September Sth, when they sold out and
started for Cheyenne. The biggest cleanup
for one days work was one hundred and
eighteen ounces. Their pile closely approx
mates one thousand nine hundred pounds
worth over four hundred thousand dollars
and they propose to take it to Philadelphia
and have 1t coined Cheyenne Leader.

Sunday is Gods special present to the
nottingham, and one of its chief objects is
to prolong his life, and preserve efficient his
working tone. In the vital system il works
like compensation pond it repleuishes the
spirit, the elasticity and vigor, which the
last six days have drained away, and sup
plies the force which is to fll the six dals
succeeding and in the economy of exist
ence it answers the same purpose as the
economy of income is answered by savings
bank. That frugal man who puts away a
pound to-day, and another pound next month
and who, in quiet way, is putting by his
stated pound from time to time, when he
grows old and frail gets not only the same
pound back again, but good many pounds
besides. And the conscientious man, who
husbands one day of his existence in week
who instead OF allowing Sunday to be
trampled and torn in the hurry and scram-
BILE Of life, treasures it up-the Lord of sun
day keeps it for him, and in length Of days
and hale Of age gives it back with usury.

Sermon of the Sheaves.

The hot summer day was past. A beau
tltul summers night had extended itself
over the silent fields Then a sheaf arose
and cried out over the field " Let us hold
a harvest thanksgiving to the Lord under
the calm night sky" And all the sheaves
arose and 10y their confusion awoke the
larks and quails that were sleeping in the
stable near by. The first sheaf began his
discourse: GBring to the Lord honor aud
praise; for He is good aud His goodness en-
dureth forever. He maketh His sun to rise
on the evil and on the good, aud sendeth rain
on the just and on the unjust. All eyes
wait upon Him and He giveth them food
in its season. Thousands Of years have
passed over the earth aud every year has
gathered its harvest and prepared its food.
The Lord has ever decked His table aud
millions have been satisfied. His goodness
is new every morning. Bring to the Lord
honor and praise" Then the choir of larks
sang a thanksgiving song. Aud another
sheaf said: Having secured Gods bless
ing everything is secured. The farmer
moves his active hand, plows the field and
strews corn in the fuTows but the increase
comes from the Lord Many cold nights
and hot summer days intervene between the
sowing and the reaping. Human hands can
not collect the rain cloud nor yet avert the
hail. The Lord preserves the tiny kernel in
the bosom OF the earth, protects the tender
shoot aud ripened corn. Fear not. He has
been with us. Having secured Gods bless
ing, every thing is secured" Now the third
sheaf took up the discourse. They that
SOW IN tears shall reap in joy. With a sad
heart a son went out TO SOW. Alas his
father had died and his bereaved mother
was weeping at home, for the hard-hearted
creditors had emptied their barns. \ com
passionate neighbor lent him the seed, but
tears fell with the corn in the furrow. Now
he reaps hundred-fold, for the Lord has
blessed his harvest. They that sow in tears
shall reap in joy. They go out and weep
and bear precious seed, and return with JOY
and bring their sheaves with them" Alter
that a fourth continued to speak Forget
not to do good and TO communicate for
such sacrifices are well pleasing to God.
Could we shout this into the houses of the
rich who are now filling their barns Could
we call to that hard-hearted man who YES
terday drove the poor reaper from his field
lie whom the Lord has blessed should open
his hand that he NAV resemble Boaz who ex-
ercised mercy toward the pious Ruth. For
get not to do good and to communicate !"
And the quails cried out alond over into the
village as If they wished to awaken the slum-
bering hearts. And the fifth sheaf closed
thus: Whatsoever man soweth that
shall he also reap. lie that soweth spar
ingy shall reap spariugy and he that sow
eth abundantly shall reap abundantly. Why
wonder that tares stand among the wheat
Had you sifted the seed before you strewed
it lie that soweth weeds shall reap toll,
Whosoeyer soweth to the flesh shall of the
flesh reap corruption whosoever soweth TO
the spirit shall reap life everlasting" And
all the sheaves around bowed themselves and
said, Amen, amen"

The Mothers Hand.

Love is full of services. 1t is tireless in
ministry. ltis always giving. 1t is a busy,
active, energetic principle. 1t finds its hap
piness in working and spending. What
will not the mother do for her child ? What
the wife for her husband ? Let the recol-
lection of your childhood, let the experience
of life, testify. We have seen many
snowy hand, fair and plump and sweet to
look upon; aud fingers whose purity rivalled
the gems they wore; but the hands that
live in recollection fairer than they all are
the lean, thin, toil-wrinkled hands of mother.
They were once full and fair and white as
any lady's, and all of us, her children, know
how and why they had become thin and
worn. They were made so by toiling for us.
The dear, old weariless hands. without orna-
ment save the one plain circle of gold worn
through all the years from the marriage-day
to the grave-day what had they not done
for us all They had lifted us and led u.s.
and soothed us, aud labored for us unceas-
ingly and to-day they stand in recollection
the symbol and type of serving love--those
aged, shaking hands of onr mother 1t was
love that made them active it was love that
made them treless. Aud what joy it was,
when she was aged, to sit and hold them,
and smooth them and caress them And
now they are folded in everlasting rest, they
live in vision, and will live until we clasp
them once again upon the everlasting shore.

White Already.

Beautiful were the fields amid which our
Saviour stood and cried " Say not ye,
There are vet four months and then cometb
harvest 2 Behold, | say unto you, lift up
your eyes and look on the fields, for they are
white already to harvest" That there need
beno four months of waiting for spiritual her-
vests, our Saviour could point TO the Samar-
itan woman and her companions as gathered
sheaves to prove His words. White already
1t is true to-day Are we not making a
mistake when we defer work, and say, SO
many months or weeks and then will come
the week of prayer or the great religious
gatherings in Boston, under Moody, and
then our New England churches may stand
with the grain thigh deep about them and
reap? Let the church OF Christ sharpen its
sickle TODAY. White already cries the
Saviour What does the postponement of
earnest religious work to-day mean 1t
means the neglect of human needs. Men
need reformation now. Hearts are misera-
BILE through sin. Wills are bound in the
fetters of intemperance There are cham
bers darkened with fresh sorrows, graves
strown with fresh flowers. How many are
unfit for death, and how many more are unfit
for life 1t is of the greater consequence TO
prepare men for life Then they are ready
for death. We need not hunt up an audible
testimony from their dying bed. Said Nor,
man Macleod of his friend Campbell of
Row " He spoke not much of religion when
diving. His silent death was, like his life,
an amen TO Gods will" Postponement OF
work also means slothfulness in the work
man, forgetfulness of the effectiveness OF
human instrumentaites and our personal
accountability lnaction now is an en-
enlargement to spiritual idleness. We steep
our souls in sloth. We suffer harm. The
rust on the idle sickle will eat into the hand
holding it back. We lose sight OF the
efficacy of human powers. We dwarf our
influence. God has not left us in this world
like lot of old iron wheels lying idle in a
backyard lot, but we are, or should be-
wheels in motion, moving on other wheels,
starting up the souls about us in better
life. We forget, also, our accountability
! We stuff our ears and are deaf to that plain
