Why do not our preachers study ora
toryp As preachers, not pastors, their
business is TO work certain effect, and
all helps to its production it should be
a part of the education to learn. l
presume shall not be misunderstood
TO mean the effect Of displaying self,
and winning admiration for personal
gifts. What the true preacher seeks 20
do is to inform the intellect with Chris
tian truth; to stir the heart, and there's
by Influence the will, of his hearers.
Half the sermons annually preached
are, so far as human insight goes, a
waste of labor and breath. Two things
partly account for this; one is that a
majority Of the men set to preach are
out Of their real vocatiOn---good pas
tors they may be, but fit preachers they
are not; another is that those with
more aptitude for preaching do not yet
understand the means to be employed
to attain their object.
Sometimes the preacher has some
conception Of the needs Of human nat
ure, and knows that tho truest truths
fail to move when put before men in q
dull, dry way; perhaps he does his best
to acquire good style, and succeeds
in making an ably-written discourse.
But when he comes into bis pulpit to
give it to his people, where Is the i'm
preston it should producep What be-
comes Of his choice words, his consid'
cred sentencesP There they lie upon,
the page he holds; he proceeds to reaa
them. Why do they fail of any resulls
tis for want Of delivery, Of the orator. !,
ical art q making mere words tell; '
HIS faithful effort goes for little; ne

thing to them, ~ he is--not to be speak.

The Market.
MONDAY EVENING,
August 25, 1881. (


August rs, 1881.
We have accounts Of rain IN different To-
caities in this latitude, but so far all kinds
of storms have given US a wide berth.
The market is steady in all its branches.
Stocks are generally on the light order, and
the demand good for all kinds of farm pro-
duce. Prices are all advancing, noticeably
IN wheat, salt bran, corn and -four.
FLOUR-This staple is excited and
prices have tendency to still further ad-
vance
HAY-Receipts are light, but the de-
mand also is light; prices rule steady and
firm.
CORN-The market is entirely bare. Not
enough comes in to meet the order demand.
OATS-The demand IS active and re-
ceipts light Prices are firm and UNI
changed.
MEAL-Scarce and firm at quotations.
BRAN-Scarce; none on consignment in
the market. The mills have advanced to
$1.15.
BUTTER plenty and quiet. The
demand is for strictly choice.
EGGS-Fresh receipts find a ready mar
ket at high prices for the season.
CHICKENS-Quiet, easy and un.
changed.
FRUIT-Not enough arrives to form a
qnotable market.

The Concord Coach in Mexico.

In her paper ga Diligence Journey
in Mexico in the Century M0gasine,
Mrs. Mary Hallock Foote gives the
following picturesque description Of
the diligence
The di5igsncia general is the ordinary
Concord coach, drawn by eight mules,
harnessed in a complicated tangle, which
is technically described as ITO wheel
ers, four on a swing, and two leaders,
1. q, two at the wheels, four abreast in
the middle, snd woahead. The driver
wore pair Of goat-skin breeches, with
the long yellow hair outside. comicalIy
suggesting the legs Of satyr. he had
an assistant beside him, who welded
the whip, or, if whipping failed, pelted
the mules with small atonss from a
leather bag filed for the purpose.
There was extraordinary neatness and
precision in his aim. The offender was
admonished BY sharp, unerring little
taps upon the ear, or the root OF the
tail, on projecting hip-ioint. On
these occasions, unlike the taamsters 81

last, lured by autumnal memories 81
dropping nuts in the brown woods, and
hearth fires glowing bright, he had
turned his way eastward, from over the
far prairies. Nearer he came, and
nearer, The lights Of the village shine
around him. The sound of the surf is
in his ears. Once more he travels the
old familiar road; his hand is on the
gate, his feet on the worn doorstep.
There is knock at the door. and Ansel
Place, shading his dim hand ashe opens
it, looks out into the face Of neighbor,
as he had thought, but of tall and
bearded stranger, who craved a nights
shelter. Old Bruno had raised his head
from his paws on the entrance. Then
with noisy bark sprang toward him.
The old man tried to hush the dog, but
the stranger spoke:
"Old Bruno remembers me. Have
you forgotten your wilful boy ?"
Before he had finished the question,
Hannah's arms were afeund his neck,
and his fathers hand was grasping his
in that joyful meeting. He did not
dream how their hearts had been going
out to meet him. yet he felt the solemn
thrill in his fathers tone, as, turning to
his wife, he said:
ssSee, Hannah, Sin wrath He has re-
membered mercy For our Thanks
giving Day the Lord has sent us a
Thanksgiving guest"

The Eyesiqht of Readers.

A writer calls attention to the danger
which readers run Of injuring their eye
sight by the use Of bad light. He
remarks that engravers, watchmakers
and others, who use the eyes constantly
in their work, take extra care to pre-
serve them By getting the best possible
light by day, and using the best artifi-.
cial light at night. The great army of
readers are careless, and have, sooner
or later, to pay the penalty Of their
carelessness by giving up night work
entirely, and sometimes reading, ex-
cept at short intervals, and under the
best conditions. ALI departures from
common type, making the matter more
difficult to take in, increase the danger.
The magnitude Of the physical labor Of
reading is not appreciated. A book Of
500 pages. forty lines to the page, and
fifty letters to the line, contains ], ,000,-
600 letters, all Of which the eye has to
take in, identity and combine each with
its neighbor. Yet many a reader will
go through such book in day. The
task is one he would shrink from If b.
should stop to measure beforehand,

A Cornish vIlaae.

On the summit of the west bank it
touches the village Of Saltash, which is
built down the hillside to the waters
edge, and which is like most other
fishing villages in Cornwall clean,
solidly put together, monumental,
and whitish- gray IN color. The de-
ficiency of color is dispiriting to the
artist who has come from the contem-
plation Of the more opulent architec-
ture Of the Continent. The cottages,
one and two stories high, of concrete,
brick and stone, with diamond panied
windows, have been designed TO shelter
without any other idea than utility.
Their white or yellow walls seem to be
vertical strata of the indigenous rock
of their foundations. The sashes and
the doors are painted black, and the
streets are made Of gray macadam.
What little color there is gains bril-
liancy from contrast with these quiet sur
roundings. The verdure is the green
est, and the fuchsias blaze in relief.
Up on the hill, with somewhat disor-
derly little graveyard inclosing it, is a
serious-looking, square-towered church,
like many others in Cornwall, Of gray
well worn by the weather of
centuries, which has smoothed all the
edges. The church is nearly seven
hundred years old-the tower older
and where time has made gap or a
seam, the restoration" las been ef-
feeted in the most economical way. The
concrete used to fill in has included the
of the ruined part, and bits
of gargoyles and other carved work are
found imbedded in the plaster. Look
from the houses to the people-there is
an infallible correspondence. The men
are brown and strong, little sad, with
large frames, but no spare flesh; and
the women, who are grand at the oar,
are scarcely their interiors in physical
They are frank and inde-
pendent in manner, gathering their
living from the sea. There is little
vice among them-the smart dresses
and chubby faces Of their CHILDREN are
certain indications of domestic virtue !;
but that some of them fall to the beset-
ting sin of the English may be inferred
from what we heard one of them say Of
a neighbor: "He wass as dhrunk as
forty maintops'l-sheet blocks" -Hasper's

Sweet sweet, sweet,

Astir in the rippledswheat
All day long.
1t hath the brooks wild gayety,
The sorrowful cry of the sea.
Oh, hush and hearl
Sweet sweet and clear.
Above the locust's whirr
And hum of bee
Rises that soft. pathetic harmony.
In the meadow grass
The innorsnt white daises blow,
The dandelion plume doth pass
Vaguely to and no
The unquiet spirit of flower,
That hath too brief an hour.
Now doth little cloud all white.
Or golden bright,
Drift down the warm blue sky;
And now on the horizon line
Where dusty woodlands lie,
A sunny mist doth shine,
Like to a veil before holy shrine,
Oonceaangs haiI revealing, Things DIVINE.
Sweet, sweet, sweet,
Is the winds song,
Astir in the rippled wheat
All day long.
That exquisite music calls
The reaper everywhere
Life and death must share,
The golden harvest falls.
So doth all end
Honored philosophy.
