DOWN THE TRAIL

After such an old fashioned dinner as they
had not found elsewhere in Colorado. they
had started down the old trail on the return
trip to Mantnu-ths mountain ranchmen of
eastern antecedents assuring them that il
would not rain during the afternoon. Not
30 yards away, before they had emerged
from the aspen grove, the gentleman from
Kansas broke out with his remarks upon the
cyclonic impulses Of the coming storm
There was a minutes debate, when an ex-
member of the Nebraska legislature moved
the previous QUESTION, and the whole crowd
went at a rapid walk toward the ranChman's
house.
Just as they stepped inside there came
roaring in the air and, without further
warning, from every direction a storm of
hail and rain Hail stones large and round
came in drifts down the mountain side, roll
ing like circles of snow came in whirls from
above and from the side; came down in such
abundance that in tivs minutes the ground
the mountains, the houses were covered with
two or thr~s inches Of solid. shining crystals,
for after this tremendous pelting Of hailstones
the cloud broke away, or was torn away
from tie mountain top, and the sun shone out
in sllendor, and the twister had come and
gUns.

that forenoon to the little vale nesting at the
very top Of Hiswatha mountain, hidden, as
it were, between the top Of one ridge and the
higher elevation of Camerons cone. The
natives had told them that it was three miles
up, but they had scrambled up steep ascents,
climbed along the new trail for three hours
under the impression that they had Travelled
in that one forenoon fifteen miles. They had
enulred in every step they had taken. From
twenty different points they had the most

rALMAGEs SERMONS.

Messrs. Funk and Wagnalls, New York,
have published four volumes of the sermons.
of L. Dewitt Talmage, the first two of which
lie before pauuui two volumes consist of
- Nand a somewhat hasty
9pny Of the preacher. And they illus
trate most happily the excellencies as well as
the deficiencies of the Tabernacle school, if
Mr.. Talmage may justly be said to head
school. He clings heartily to the old and
generally abandoned materialistic interpre-
tation of the Scriptures, believes in the res
direction of the body, and is intensely literal
in his doctrine of endless punishment. His
rhapsodies ON the resurrection, with the
heavens full of flying bones Fastening from
the ends of the world to find the body to
which they belong reads like arrant nom
sense. And his outcry against the teachings
of modern science and his harsh condemna-
ton of all forms of evolution, seem almost
as foolish. Without doubt there are many
things in the sermons we are considering
which will receive unqualified condemnation
from every liberal mind.
Nor will the lover of literary purity and
beauty be without criticism. He will say
that the style while always fervid is frequently
turgid; that logical order in the succession
of ideas is not often noticeable, and that true
grace and beauty are frequently sacrificed
to temporary effect; that the sermons largely
move to the sole result of sensation. The
profuse apostrophes, the broken sentences,
the explanatory delivery, all initiate against
a rational AMI effective application of gospel
truth.
Mr.. Talmage \ his ministerial career has
antagonized neal ly all the received tenets of
professional propriety. Hehas always been ex-
travagant in expression, and not unfrequently
wild and foolish. And so the unthinking are
disposed to set him down az a sort of clerical
Bombastes Furiosa, swelling upon the public
stage with vain and fated notion of his
own value in the public esteem. But such
judgment sadly mistakes the man. The Tab
ernacle preacher is a man of power, with
brilliant imagination, wide command of
the beauties of the English tongue, and COM
plete mastery of the art of putting things"
He is a live man preachingt vepeople, and
he wants them to keep awak And they do
keep awake. There are no eepers in the
congregation to which he speaks. The free
dom and motion of the ocean with its turbu-
lent surges and rhythmic sweep is in his ser
mons. He is large grand preacher, and

temptible notions of a semi-mater site

WHAT PRAYER DID.
BY MRS. G. A. soULE.

''The most precious answer prayer can
have, lies in the growing strength of the i'm
pulse towards the dreaded duty."-George
Macdonald.
I had done wrong to one loved, and love,
And oft as he did look on me
With eyes that seemed lit from the skies
above,
Speeches l could but blush and flee.
Weak was l, fearing he would turn away
Or scorn me as l clasped his feet;
Like every wicked thing, l stunned the day,
could not bear the light TO meet.
When could hold no longer 10 my breast
The weight of my tormenting sin;
When came to me, by sun or moon, no rest,
Because of the sharp pang within;
Then went to my Father, and told all,
My very soul did lay bare.
scarce, it seemed, had spoken, when the
thrall
Broke, and l rose with courage rare.
Straight ran to my loved one, fresh from
prayer,
bravely told the bitter wrong;
He clasped me to his heart in plying care;
And angels sang loves new sweet song

THE religion of some people is con-
strained; they are like people who use
the cold bath, not for pleasure, but
necessity and their health; they go in
with reluctance, and are glad when they
get out; but religion to true believer
is like water to a fish; it is his element;
seemingly his native element; he lives in
it, and he could not live out of it.-Rev.
John Merton.
No man is born into the world whose
work is not born with him.-LosveH.

SOME CURIOSITIES In PAGAN LITER
AZURE,
/.

Doubtless many of your readers in Pc
rusing current literature, meet with va
rious illusions to persons and incidents
in Pagan literature, and are obliged to
skip these illusions because they do not
know just what they mean.
Our poets especially abound in CLASH
cal illustrations, and much Of the subtle
beauty of their verse is lost upon those
of us who do not understand the signifi-
cation.
Feeling this disadvantage have tax
en- some pains of late to trace out these
hidden beauties, and thinking that some
of your readers, at least, would thank
me for help in this direction, 1 will set be.

Echo.
We are familiar with that peculiar ex-
perience in which our own voice is re-.
peated in hooking way under certain
conditions of location and atmosphere.
but when we chance to read in Milton for
instance:
Sweet Echo. sweetest nymph, that liv'st un-s
Within thy ery shell
By slow meanders margent green"
the delicate allusion is wholly lost
upon us il we are not acquainted with
the ancient story referred to in mythoI-
ogy.
Echo was beautiful nymph, fond of
the woods and hills. She was favorite
OF Diana goddess of the noon, but
Echo had one failing Ia failing quite
common in our day. she was overload
OF talking, and was bound to have the
last word, like many of her sex since that
time. Echo affronted Juno, queen of the
gods), and as a punishment Juno de-
prived her of all use of her tongue ex-
cept to reply. She still could speak the
last word, but had no power 10 speak
first Doubtlessmany of your lady readers
would make full use OF this privilege
even.
Echo was disappointed in love, and
withdrew from society living in caves and
among mountain cliffs. Her form faded
with grief, till at last nothing was left of
her but her voice. With that she is still
ready to reply to any one that calls her,
and keeps up the old habit of having the
last word!
This is doubtless keen satire invent
ed by some hen pecked husband OF the
olden time, who had nothing but his
temper left. We see by this that the an
clients we're very human indeed.
When one is acquainted with the poetic
incident in Echo's career they will catch
the poets meaning when he says:
Sweet Echo, sweetest nymph, that liv'st un-
seen,''
and they will notice how kindly he pass
es by her one failing. @. X. GIBSON.

Calvinism, and climbs up into the regions of
the universal, he moves in grandeur. Where
in sermonic literature can be found finer
and more beautiful exposition of Christian
hope than in the sermon called "Sundown,"
on the text, Sat eventime it shall be light?"
Many Universalist congregation could heed
the sermon on due Bills Presented" text,
"How much owest thou unto my Lord?"
"Christ in the House." is full of practical
wisdom that if applied to our personal lives
would make us vastly better. And then the
sermon "The Almond tree in Blossom"
commemorative of his father, is tender and
touching in the extreme. 1t is in perfect
good taste, and will repay any ones reading
of it. And so of "Methodism as it appears
to an Outsider" 'The Silver Trumpet" and
other sermons that might be mentioned.
They are grand and stirring productions, and
the liberal faith can find many things in
them to admire and to be grateful for. Pass
by the relics of the old theology, never mind
his bald materialism, but take to yourself
his large sympathy with humanity, his love
of home, his reverence for honest character,
and his glowing visions of the 'happy land
beyond" and Universalist, as we'll as Ortho-
dox, will find strength in these sermons.

The Old Maids PurGdise, By Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps, is u story which we should designate
as pleasant summer reading. 1t recounts the
trials of maiden lady, one of che sensible kind
whose only brother having married, imagines
she is somewhat in the way in his new home,
although the brother and his wife are very
fond of her. So she determined to build little
house of her own, within sound of the sea-"
the cost of which shall not exceed five hum
dred dollars. Her trials daring the process of
building, with builder who cannot seem to
understand just what she wants, and is very
certain she does not understand the matter
herself, in finishing of the rooms in some
thing q little resembling the esthetic, are
very amusingly told. And when she is finally
settled in her hoped for paradise, trials of
another kind beset her for '.the old maid" is
no housekeeper and is obliged to wrestle with
the probabilities of life, which she surmounts
by adding the services of a humble friend.
whose education in that line has not been
neglected.; and thus order is brought out OF
chaos, and happiness reigns supreme, until
the summer wanes and the chill autumn air
causes her to board up her paradise and re-
turn to her city home until another summer
time shall come. Altogether, the story is de-
lightfully entertaining. Boston: Houghton,

MENTAL GYMNASTICS, or Lessons in Memory.
Published by the author, Adam Miller, M.
D., As Elizabeth St., Chicago.
This little work aims by systematic method
to improve the memory; it is a text book on
memory culture. Take silk thread,-it
readily leads the mind to the silk-worm, then
to the mulberry tree, the workshop of the
worm, and to the manufacturing establish
ment; also to the silk dress, and the lady who
wears it; then naturally to the home of the
lady, and to the fortunes and misfortunes of
home,-all this from the end of small silk
thread by the law of association Up. 10Y. On
this law the system of memory culture is
based. The rules given in this little book are
similar to those laid down in Prof. Fauvel
Gourand's Philosophical Classification of
Homophonic words, with which many are
familiar. The author has simplified the study
and brought it within the comprehension of
ordinary minds" The memory is one of the
nobler human faculties, and is well worth
cuitivating by the aid of this valuable little
work.

Combination of Mauufa cturers.

Boston Commercial Bulletin:--The sud
den and unexpected collapse of what
threatened to be n serious strike at the
Whittcnton mills, Taunton, was caused by
the discovery that the mill belonged to a
huge organization OF textile industries OF
New England. which has been formed so
quietly that it has escaped all notice. This
organization extends over Rhode Island
Connecticut, and already includes forty
nine large wooden mills. This society was
organized for mutual protection. 1t
does not recognize the authority OF the
Knights of Labor in any way, but is pre-
pared to use arbitration in the settle
ment OF strikes. The organic ton is grow
ing in numbers, and its purposes are to
give each strike careful consideration and
to assist only those manufacturers who
are unfairly treated by their help. A sec
ond society, embracing all cotton mills
OF any Importance in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, was very quietly
completed and elected its Ulcers in Bos-
ton. The Massachusetts league is the
league OF cotton mills to which wooden
mills are to be admitted, while the
Rhode Island society WAS formed by
WOODEN mills, and subsequently admit
ted cotton manufacturers. During the
last month the cotton mills OF this State
have been quietly preparing for organza-
ton for mutual insurance against labor
disturbances. The society is not cor
poration and has no stock. The yearly
pay rolls OF the Massachusetts mills that
have already joined amount to SIS, 000,-
900. The aims of the society are not in
any sense aggressive, and its purpose is
not to attack the knights of Labor, but
simply to protect its members against I'M
just persecution.
