SPECTACLE or THE HEAvEss.

had occasion, few weeks since, to take
the early train from Providence to Boston !;
and for this purpose rose at two O'Clock In
the morning. Everything around was wrap
ped In darkness and hushed in silence, brok-
en- only by what seemed at that hour an I'M
earthly clank aud rush of the train. It was q
mild, serene midsummer's night the sky
was without cloud--ths wind was low. The
moon. then in the last quarter, had Just risen,
and the stars shone With spectral lustre but
little affected By her presence Jupiter, but
two hours high. was the herald Of the day !:
the Pleiades, just above the horizon, shed
their sweet influence in the east Lyra spark
led near the zenith Andromeda yelled her
newly discovered glories from the naked eye
in the south the steady Pointers, far be-
meath the pole, looked meekly up from the
depths Of the north to their sovereign.
Such was the glorious spectacle as I entered
the train. As we proceeded the timid ap-
proach of twilight became more perceptible !;
the intense blue of the sky began to soften,
the smaller stars, like little children, went
first to rest the sister beams Of the pleiades
soon melted together /; but the bright constel
lations of the West and the North remained
unchanged. Steadily the wondrous trans
figuration went on. Hands of angels hidden
from mortal eyes shifted the scenery of the
heavens the glories of night dissolved into
the glories Of the dawn. The blue sky now
turned more softly gray the great watchs
stars shut up their holy eyes the East began
to kindle. Faint streaks of purple soon
blushed along the sky, the whole celestial
concave was filed with the inflowing tides of
the morning light, which came down from
above in one great ocean of radiance tilt 1t
length, as we reached the Blue Hills, flash
of purple fire blazed out from above the
horizon, and turned tho dewy teardrops Of
flower and leaf into fubies and diamonds. In
few seconds the everlasting gates of the
morning were thrown wide open, and the lord
of day, arrayed in glores too severe for the
gaze of man, began his course.
do not wonder at the superstition Of tho
ancient Magians, who in the morning Of the
world went up to the hill-tops of Central
Asia, and, ignorant Of the true God, adored
the most glorious work of his hand. But
am filled with ama5emett, when am told
that in this enlightened age, and in the Heart
of the Christian world, there are persons who
can witness this daily manifestation of tho
power and wisdom of the Creator, and yet
say in their hearts, There is no God. -

THE PRIcE or FooD IN OLp TIMES -
Amid the never ending commeats on tbs
hi h price Of provisions, 1t is difficult for US
to realize the fact that time existed In Brit.
aims history when wheat, as food for ons
hundred for a whole day, was worth only
shilling, and the average pr'ce Of sheep four
pence. In the rcgin Of Henry l., the price of
wine was raised to six pence quart for red,
and eight pence for white, in order that tbs
sellers might be enabled to live byit. When
wheat was at six shiIlings quart (eigtt
bushels, the farthing loaf was to be equal in
weight to twenty-four ounces IL made of tho
whole grain, and to sixteen ounces IL consists
ing solely Of white. And when wheat was
one shilling and six pence per quarter AZ 1t
sometimes was, the farthing white loaf was
to weigh sixty-four ounces, aud the whole
grain ninety-six. Think Of purchasing six
pound loaf Of good wheaton bread for d
farthing In the nineteenth year Of the reign
of Edward the l., the price of provisions III
the city Of London was fixed by the Common
Council at a tarifl by which two pullets were
sold for three halfpcnce, n partridge or tw,,
woodcocks for the same while a fat lamb was
to be six-pcnce from Christmas TO Shrovctitle;
and the rest Of the year -four pence. In the
fourteenth century, Parliament fixed the
price Of a fat OK at forty eight shillings,
shorn sheep at five chillings, two dozen Of
eggs at tbree-penc and the best wine at
twenty shillings per tun. An Act of Parh,-
msnt, passed in 1888, settled the value Of beef
and pork at half penny per pound, and veal
at three farthings.

Ex-senator Wade was one Of the Hayes
