Cared for by n Former Slave.

Robert Gibson, aged eighty-five, ono,
a slave ON n Louisiana plantation and
since the war a resident of Indianapolis
is now caring for the daughter of his old
master at his home here.
She is an invalid and in poverty. Al.
though Gibson has served term in the
penitentiary, and for years has been al
most under constant watchfulness of the
police, he is seemingly atoning for all
his sins by this act of charity.
The woman he is caring for is Mrs.
Sarah j. Clark, whose father before the
war was n planter in East Feliciana
parish.
While she was very young Mrs.
Clark's parents died and she became the
ward of Squire Boyd, of Lancaster, O.
Then she married Milton L. Clark, a
captain in the Union army. who squan-
dered her fortune and then died of
wounds received in battle.
Since then Mrs. Clark has led n wan
dering life, and finally reached Indian
apolis, when the old slave Gibson took
her in charge after he learned she was
an inmate of the county asylum.
Mrs. Clark has been faithful to her
religion, and it was unavoidable misfor-
tune that caused her poverty and home
lessness.
She is an applicant for a pension and
has been for years, but for some cause
the claim has not been allowed Indian
apolis Letter.

Many varieties of seaweed furnish a

others are reckoned a luxury by the
rich. One edible kind is called "Irish

formed the birds nests, which are con.

pushed them up to their present lofty

complete, for the surface of the sky was
very irregular. So they each took big

it perfectly oval appearance Then

THE LORDS MARCHING ORDERS.

THE LORD ) MARCHING ORDERS.
If you were in the field today, in the
clump of trees at the corner of the field
you would see a convention of birds,
noisy as the American congress the last
night before adjournment, or as the
English parliament when some unfor-
tunate member proposes more economy
in the queens household convention
of birds all talking at once, moving and
passing resolutions on the subject of
migration; some proposing to go to-
morrow, some moving that they go to-
day. some moving that they go to Bra
gil, some to Florida, some to the table
lands of Mexico, but all unanimous in
the fact that they must go soon, for
they have marching orders from the
Lord, written on the first white sheet
of the frost and in the pictorial of the
changing leaves.
There is not belted kingfsher, or a
chafinch, or a fire crested wren, or a
plover, or red legged partridge but
expects to spend the winter at the south.
for the apartments have already been
ordered for them in South America or
in Africa, and after thousands of miles
of fight they will stop in the very tree
where they spent last January. Fare
well, bright plumage! Until spring

heavenly musicians! Strew the CONT

Brazilian groves men see your wings or
hear your voice, may they bethink them

propose, so far as God may help me,
this morning, carrying out the idea of
the text, to show that the birds of the
air have more sagacity than men. And
begin by particularizing and saying
that they mingle music with their work.
The most serious undertaking of bird s
life is this annual travel from the Hud-
son to the Amazon, from the Thames to
the Nile. Naturalists tell us that they
arrive there thin and weary and plum
age ruffied, and yet they go singing all
the way; the ground, the lower line of
the music, the sky, the upper line of the
music; themselves, the notes scattered
up and down between.
l suppose their song gives elasticity to
their wing and helps on with the jour-
ney, dwindling thousand miles into four
hundred. Would to God that we were
us wise as they in mingling Christian
song with our everyday work! believe
there is such thing as taking the pitch
of Christian devotion in the morning and
keeping it all the day. l think we might
take some of the dullest, heaviest, most
disagreeable work of our life and set it
to the tune of "Antioch" or mount
Pisoah."

THE WARNING TO FLY
DR.. TALMAGE POINTS TO THE BIRD
MIGRATION AS A LESSON FOR MAN.


How the Prophets Studied Nature-They
Make Music as They Fly-They Know
Their Times, They Fly in Season, but
Man Is Less Wise.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 30.-The futter OF
bright colored leaves which every wind
blows from the trees in the avenues
around the Tabernacle reminded the
thousands who entered its doors this
morning that winter is approaching.
DR.. Talmage, with his usual tact, turned
the impression to account in his sermon,
which was on the text, jeremiah Viii, z,
1.-The stork in the heaven knoweth her
appointed times, and the turtle, and the
crane, and the swallow observe the time
of their coming; but my people know
not the Judgment of the Lord"
When God would set fast beautiful
thought, he plants it in tree. When
he would put it afioat, he fashions 1t
into a fish. When he would have it
glide the air, he molds it into bird.
Ny text speaks of four birds of beauti-
full instinct-the stork, of such strong
affection that it is allowed Familiarity to
come, in Holland and Germany, and
Laid its nest over the doorway; the
sweet dispositioned turtledove, min
Cling in color white and black and
brown and ashen and chestnut; the
crane. with voice like the clang of a
trumpet; the swallow, swift as a dart
shot out of the bow of heaven, falling,
mounting, skimming, sailing-four birds
started by the prophet twenty-five cen
turies ago, yet flying on through the
ages, with rousing truth under glossy
wing and in the clutch of stout claw
| suppose it may have been this very
season of the year-autumn-and the
prophet out of doors, thinking of the
impenitence of the people of his day,
hears a great cry overhead.
Now you know it is no easy thing for
one with ordinary delicacy of eyesight
to look into the deep blue of the noon
day heaven; but the prophet looks up,
and there are hocks of storks and turtle
doves and cranes and swallows drawn
out in long lines for fight southwazd.
As is their habit, the cranes had ar
ranged themselves into two lines max
ing an angle, a wedge splitting the air
with wild velocity, the old crane, with
commanding call, bidding them onward
while the towns, and the cities, and the
continents slid under them. The prophet,
almost blinded from looking into the
dazzling heavens, stoops down and be-
gins to think how much superior the
birds are in sagacity about their safety
than men about theirs, and he puts his
hand upon the pen and begins to write,
1.-The stork in the heaven knoweth heI

that in their migration they fly very
high. During the sunamer, when they
are in the fields, they often coma within
reach of the gun, but when they start
for the annual flight southwark they
take their places midheaven and go
straight as an arrow to the mark. The
longest rifle that was ever brought to
shoulder cannot reach them. Would to
God that we were as wise as the stork
and crane in our flight heavenward!
We fiy so low that we are within easy
range of the world, the flesh and the
devil. We are brought down by temp
tations that ought not to come within

now that men actually carlcature the
idea that there is any such thing as
higher life, Moles never did believe IN
eagles. But, my brethren, because we
have not reached these heights ourselves,
shall we deride the fact that there are
any such heights?
A man was once talking to Brunei,
the famous engineer, about the length
of the railroad from London to Brls Oh.
The engineer said: sit is not very great
We shall have after awhile steamer
running from England to New York.
They laughed him to scorn; but we nave
GONE so far now that we have ceased to
laugh at anything as impossible for hui
man achievement. Then, ask, is any
thing impossible for the Lord? l do not
believe that God exhausted all his grace
in Paul and Latimer and Edward Pay
son. believe there are higher points OF
| Christian attainment to be reached In
the future ages of the Christian world.
KEEP ABOVE THE ATMOSPHERE OF SIN.
You tell me that Paul went up to the
| tiptop of the Alps of Christian attain
ment. Then l tell you that the stork
| and crane have found above the Alps
| plenty of room for free flying. We go
out and we conquer our temptations by
the grace of God and lie down. On the
| morrow those temptations rally them
selves and attack us, and by the grace OF
| God we defeat them again, but staying
all the time in the old encampment we
have the same old battles to fight over.
Why not whip out our temptations and
then forward march, making one raid
through the enemy's country, stopping
not until we break ranks after the last
victory?
Do, my brethren, let US have some
novelty of combat at any rate, by chang
ing, by going on, by making advance
ment, trading off our stale prayers about
sins we ought to have quit long ago
going on toward higher state of Chris
tan character and routing out sins that
we have never thought of yet. The fact
is, if the church of God, if we, as indi
viduals, made rapid advancement in the
Christian life, these stereotyped prayer;
we have been making for ten or ffteer
years would be as inappropriate to US as
the shoes, and the hats, and the coats
we wore ten or fifteen years ago. Oh
for higher fight in the Christian life
the stork and the crane in their migra
ton teaching us the lesson!
