A certain Turk, according to Mr..
Frank Il. Stockton, was once married
to a vailed lady In white la tho pres
ence Of his Sultan. As soon nc the oer-
emony was concluded the bride mys-
teriously disappeared. The groom was
led into an adjoining room, where stood
twelve ladies all dressed In white, but
without wells. Choose from the
twelve" exclaimed the Sovereign, cher
that is your bride" As the man had
never seen her face, the command be-
wiIdsred him. "lf you make q mis-
take" added his majesty, "your life
shall pay the forfeit" The poor fellow
walked up aud down the row Of beau
ties, but saw nothing whatever 10 aid
his choice. "You have only minute
Ieft," yelled the Sultan in anger;
"choose at once" Two Of the ladies',
the groom noticed, gave him something
else than a stony stare. One IL them
frowned; the other smiled. SThe
frowning one," lie thought, sis my
bride, for she expresses her displeasure
and impatience at my Ignorance. No."
he said to himself, sit must be the smil-
ing one, for she desires 10 invite me 70
her," After debating the subject In his
mind his time was up, and he boldly
made a selection from the two. He was
successful. He had regained his bride.
Which was she-the one who frowned
or the one vino smiled! The answer TO
the question Mr.. Stockton leaves In i'm
penetrabls mystery.

And to look aloft the oak leaves through
Into the sky so deep, so blue

As the rice-bird singing above on the tree,
Or the locusts piping their drowsy whirr.
Or the down that sails from the thistle-burr

Changing hue as the sunlight shifts,
Or Fastening gaily into the West
To follow the blushing sun to rest

To drain the JOY OF the present hour!

PROBLEMS IN CREATION.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's sermon
last Sunday morning was upon the
questions of design in Creation" and
OF General and Special Providence, !"
as they stand related not only to Scrip
ture testimony, but to what we now
know of the course Of natural law in
this world. The view OF the famous
German scientist, Haeckel, that the
world needs no God, that it has in itself
provision for all the phenomena that
have taken place, seemed to Mr.. Beecher
not to simplify the problem Of creation,
but to make it still more difficult TO
comprehend. Nothing in human ex-
psrience furnishes basis for believing
in the origin and progress of the world
of its own self without any external in
fuence. The belief that back Of every
effect there must be cause has been
wrought into the very common sense OF
mankind, and Haeckel's theory leaves
the origin of matter still unaccounted
for. The origin Of matter and the ex-
istence Of tendencies or laws in matter
seems inconceivable. The same is true
of the origin of the Divine Being, but
confessedly this is removed from human
investigation, which can only take hold
Of that which has some relation to the
or ganization OF the mind and body, and
God has not. But we gain nothing by
excluding divine intelligence and to in
clude it smoothes the way Of investiga-
ton and is agreeable to tho nature Of the
human mind.
THE DIVINE NATURE.
II is easier to conceive of a personal
God, with intelligence, will and power
than to conceive Of world Of such va
ried and vast substances as this per.
forming all the functions ofintelligence
will and power. The doctrine of evo
luton at first seemed to destroy the fac
Of intelligent design in creation. s.
the agnostic school, which include
some of the noblsst spirits Of our day
sprang up. "God may exist, but We d.
not know it," they say. But this j
what the Bible said from beginning {:
end. 1t is what philosophy is now be
ginning to explain. We cannot under
stand the Divine nature, SO exalte'
