Alps, and Scroon lake fell TO sleep in the lap

Now it is Wednesday morning of the
worlds first week. Gardening and horti-
eulture will be born to-day. How queer the
hills look, and 80 unattractive they seem
hardly worth having been made. But now
kllthe surfaces are changing color. Some
thing beautiful is creeping all over them.
It has the color of emerald. All, it is herb

and higher, and spreads out broad
leaves. 1t is palm tree. Yonder is
another growth, and its leaves hang
far down, and it is a willow tree. And
yonder is growth with mighty sweep of
branches. And here they come-the pear
and the apple, and the peach and the pome-
granate and groves and orchards and for
ssts, their shadows and their fruit girdllng
the earth. We are pushing agriculture and
fruit culture to great excellence in the
nineteenth century, but we have nothing
now to equal what l see on this first
Wednesday Of the worlds existence. take

morning, and l tell you it mingles in its

added to all, and overpowering all other
fiavors is the Paradisaicel juice that ali the
orchards of the nineteenth century fail to

all the luxury of tho three thousand varie-
ties OF the nineteenth century; all the
Seckel and the Bartlett of the genealogical
gardens of later times, an acridity COM
pared with it. And the grapesl Why, this
one cluster has in it the richness of whole
vineyards of Catawbas and Concords and
Isabellas. Fruits of all colors, of all odors,
OF all havors. No hand of man yet made to
pluck ii or tongue to taste it, The banquet
for the human race is being spread before
the arrival of the first guest. In the fruit
of that garden was the seed for the orchards
and gardens of the Hemisphere. Notice
that the first thing that God made for food
was fruit, and plenty of it, Slaughter

am from being a vegetarian, but an al
most exclusive meat diet is depraving. Saw
ages contine themselves almost exclusively
TO animal food, and that is one reason that
they are savages. Give your children more
apples and less mutton. The world will
have to give dominance to the fruit diet of
Paradise before it gets back TO the morals
of Paradise. May Gods blessing come down
on the orchards and vineyards of America,
and keep back the frosts and the curculio,
But we must not forget that il is Wednes-

Now it is Thursday morning Of the
worlds first week. Nothing will be created
to-day. The hours will be passed in scat
tering fogs and mists and vapors. The at
mosphere must be swept clean. Other
worlds are to hove in sight. This little ship
OF the earth has seemed to have all the
ocean of immensely to itself. But mightier
craft are TO be hailed to-day on the high
seas of space. First. the moons white sail

bursts upon the scene. The light that on
The three previous mornings was struck
from an especial word now gathers in the
sun, moon and stars. One for the day, the
others for the night IL seemed as if they
had all within twenty-four hours been Gre
ated. All, this is great time in
the worlds first week. The moon, the near

fury, when the telescope shall bring her
within one hundred and twenty miles of
New York. And the sun now appears, after

eight thousand miles in diameter, and, put
In astronomical scales, to be found to weigh
nearly four hundred thousand heavier than
our earth; a mighty furnace, its heat kept
up by meteors pouring into it as fuel,
a world devouring other worlds with
its jaws of fame. And the stars
come out, those street lamps of
