THE GAZETTE: FORT WORTH TEXAS MONDAY SEPTEMBER Is

sent. The wings uuder which Ruth had
come to trust were gentle wings. There
is nothing softer than feather. You
have noticed when bird returns from
! flight how gently it stoops over the nest.
| The young birds are not afraid of hav-
ing their lives trampled out by the
mother bird; the old whip-poor- will
drops into its nest of leaves, the oriole
into its casket of bark, the humming
bird into its hammock of moss-gentle as
the light. And so, says the Psalmist, He
shall cover thee with His wing. Oh, the
gentleness of Godi But even that figure
does not fully set it forth; for l have
sometimes looked into the bird 8 nest
and seen a dead bird-its life having
been trampled out by the mother bird.
But no one that ever came under the
feathers of the Almighty was trodden on.
Blessed nestI warm nest! Why will
men stay out in the cold to be shot of
temptation and to be chilled by the
blast, when there is divine shelter? More
beautiful than any flower 1 ever saw are
the hues of q bird g plumage. Did you
ever examine 1t? The blackbird floating
like a fake of darkness through the sun
light; the meadow lark, with head OF
fawn and throat of velvet and breast of
gold; the red fiamingo flying over the
Southern swsmps like sparks from the
FORGE OF THE SITTING SUN,
the pelican white and blaek-morning
and night tangled in its wings-but give
a very faint idea of the beauty that
comes down over the soul when on it
drop the feathers of the Almighty.
Here fold your weary wings. This is the
only safe nest. Every other nest will be
destroyed. The prophet SAYS SO:
Though thou exalt thyself like the
eagle, and set thy nest among the stars,
yet Will 1 bring thee down, saith the
Lord of Hosts Under the swift wings,
under the broad wings, under the strong
wings, under the gentle wings of the
Almighty, find shelter until these calam-
tiles be overpast. Then when you want
to change nests, 1t will only be from the
valley of earth to the heights of heaven
and instead of 'the wings of dove,'
for which David longed, not knowing
that in the first mile of their flight they
would give out, you will be conducted
upward by the Lord God of Israel, under
whose wings Ruth, the beautiful Moa-
bitess, came to trust.
God forbid that in this matter of eter-
nal veal or woe we should be more
stupid than the fowls of heaven; 'for
the stork knoweth her appointed time;
and the turtle, and the crane, and the
swallow observe the time of their going;
but my people know not the judgments
of the Lord. -

APPORTIONMENT BILL.
Introduced by Dunnell of Minnesota-By It the
Republican states will be the Gamers.

| Introduced by Dunnell OF MlnneSOId-By IL tle
Republican states will be the Gamers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.-The appor-
tionment bill introduced in the house this
afternoon by Chairman Dunnell, of the
census committee, Is understood to be
the authorized measure which will be
| pushed at this session, but it may be re-
ported with slight notifications and put
on the calendar, where it can be reached
| early next winter. Mr.. Dunnell has the
bill only partially prepared this morning f,
and it is SAID he had not intended to offer
! it for some days yet. The fllibustering
| of the Democrats against the Langston-
| Venable election case inspired Speaker
| Reed, and it Is said he went to MIR. Dun
nell and suggested the Introduction of the
apportionment bill. Probably it was
done to give the Democrats something
more serious to think about than the
election case. Mr.. Dunnell accepted the
suggestions, and finished the preparation
of his bill.
As originally drawn it provided for S55
members of the house, the basis of ap-
portionment being one representa-
tive for each 17S, 371 of the population.
He offered the bill in this form, but i'm
medietely withdrew il, and changed the
basis to $50 900, thus reducing the mem
bsrship of the house of representatives to
354. In this form the measure was in
troduced. The loss of one member oc-
casloned by the change falls upon Vir-
glnia. The only other state which Will
lose a member upon the basis of appor-
tionment provided by this bill is Ohio.
The states which gain one member each
hnv n1i H4l4
Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Ore
gon, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.
Four states-Arkansas, Illinois, Kansas
and Pennsylvania-will gain two MEM
bers each, and Minnesota and
Nebraska will gain three each.
1t will be observed that only
six of the members gained are from
Democratic states, while an increase of
eighteen will result in Republican states.
OF the two states which will lose one is
Republican and the other Democratic.
In the present organization of the
house there are $50 districts represented.
There were l60 Democrats and ITO Re-
publicans in the house at the opening of
the Ffty-first congress, including five
Republicans from the new states OF
North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Washington. Up to date there have
been six Democrats unseated, and their
places given to contrasting Republicans.
One Democrat, Mr.. breckenridge, of
Arkansas, has been uuseated and the

are each entitled to one member, SO that
