Prof. Blake thus writes of the first
sermon he listened to in Boston. It was
preached by stranger who occupied the
pulpit of the Presby terian church:
The first prayer was unfortunately
defaced by display of spread-eapleism
which seemed little in place. He was
protuse IN thanks for the greatness of the
country and its vast resources, and for
the honor assigned it of drawing the on.
pressed and the struggling of all nations
to lind IN it home of peace and pros.
perlty. This was the'burden of the prav.
er. Then followed sermon addresses
wholly to the intellect-an argument for
the supernatural origin of christianity
derived from its mighty power. 1t was
very clever and conclusive argument.
remarkably well put and illustrated, and
the delivery was very admirable, live
ly' emphatic, arresting-everything one
could wish. There seemed an instructive
apprehension of the way to handle an au-
dlence that made a Scottish Professor of
Homiletics wish that some of his students
had been there to contrast it with the i'm.
passive, monotonous delivery with which
they are so often content. One felt, too.
that In a place like Boston some who
were sitting in the church might find good
use for the facts and arguments that were
set forth SO well, in conversations and
discussions with skeptical acquaintance,
and that in that point of view the dis.
course might be very useful. But there
was no dealing with soul and conscience
and very little of what we have always
felt should be the aim of preacher in
dealing with an audience of busy men
and women-little to lift them up, to raj
ly and strengthen their spiritual energies
and send them forth to the battle of the
week with renewed spiritual purpose and.

BY W. II. WOODS.
There comes a time,
Between the going of Autumnal bloom
And Winters windy advent, sadder far
Than any after days. The forest ranks
Stand lealess, and, as yet no prophet voice
Bids the wild north wind come, and with long
threads
OF slanting rain, and with white fleece of mists,
Weave for them robes of silver fringed ice
But naked they their leafy gold, all turned
To dross, lies at their feet in dull brown heaps.
The dying breeze, by parting Autumn left
TO lift the falling leaf and, with soft signs,
Watt 1t to burial, its errand done,
Creeps, like bird wing wounded 'mong the
reeds
Its breath can scarcely stir. The rounded lake
Which gathered erst the sunlight, as through it
The glad earth saw, now in the wan worlds face
Shows like the eye of death. The stream has lost
It's olden sparkle and grows dim with mists,
Through which its current, thick and dark and
slow,
Runs like the ever lessening pulse of one
Now near to go. Gone are the purple plains
Ger which in Summer ewes the cloudlets Law
Like the white tents of angels, camping there
Such as on other nights, when northern winds
Fan all their fires ahame; but wan and gray
Through dark and dawn alike. No sun, no moon.
No star; and ever more the slow clouds pass
Life mourners, weeping as they go, and fast
Dropping their cold tears o er the pulseless earth
Ere yet they tomb her in their SHOWS
So when =
In some dark home there lieth one for whom
The feet of the young men wait and wife or
child,
Or friend bends Ger the fast locked lips, and
dim,
Unseeing eyes, and brow but newly made
Acquaint with endless quiet, deeper far
Is that new grief which sea-like strews its waves
With sobs and groans and shattered speech, as if
Loves argosies were shipwrecked all, than that
Which, after comes, and with a sigh as soft
As is the ebbing of spent tides, bedew
With gentle tears the new sward, decked with
flowers,
Meath which the once loved form lies motion
less forever.
