Subject. Jesus Tempted. Matt.
4; Ill. Golden Text, ''For in that
He Himself hath suffered, being
tempted, He is able to succor them
that are tempted Heb. q: IS.
After the baptism Of Jesus, aud
testimony from Heaven that He was
the Son of God, BE was "led up of
the Spirit int the wilderness to be
tempted of the DEVIL he was in
this desolate place 40 days, hun.
CRY, lonely, tempted, ''yet without
SIM" Was He not in school to be
about His Fathers business 7 and
perfect obedience or submission to
His Fathers will, made Him the
overcomer.
Picture the scsne: The Divine
Man going from the exaltation of
the Holy Spirits resting on Him,
and His Fathers voice from Heaven
testifying to His pleasure in His
Son; going voluntarily to the Jor-
dan, driven TO be tempted, into
shat great and terrible Wilderness
ga desert land,n "the vast bowling
wilderness" where there was no
water or food only wild beasts, and
the company of the devil, for 90
days. None but the sinless One,
mans substitute, could overcome.
He, the second Adam, regained
what the first Adam had lost. Not
My will but My Fathers, was His
only reply to every temptation.
AS after the 40 days temptation .
the devil left Jesus for season, and
angels came and ministered unto
Him, SO it will always be with His
followers who like Him submit TO
God and resist the devil"
Notice the Golden Text "He Is
able,' mighty to save" sable to
deliver" cable TO keep you from
falling" FoI our High Pricos was
"touched with the feeling of our in.
firmities," was in all points tempted
like as we are, "yet without SIM"
Let us, therefore come boldly unto
the throne of grace, that We may
find grace to help us in time of
need"
As Christ overcame the devil, so
may we, and receive this reward
"To him that overcometh will /
grant to sit with Me in My throne,
even as also overcame, and am set
down with My Father in His
throne"
And the day is surely coming
when temptations will end, for our
Lord will come, and bind the temp
ter, and cast him into the bottomless
pit, and recapture this earth from
his desolating power. "Even so,
come Lord Jesus. American 8. s.

THE MUSIC OF THE SPHERES.

The imaginary music of the
spheres is doctrine or great anti.
guilty, since we find allusion to it in
the Holy Scriptures. Job,chap. 3S,
speaks Of the creation, "when the
morning stars sang together, and all
the Sons Of God shouted for joy.'
Among the ancient writer's, this
was fayorite subject OF philosophic-
al inquiry. Pythagoras and Plato
were of opinion that the MUSES. con.
stituted the soul of the planets in
our system and the disciples of
both these celebrated philosophers
supposed the universe to be formed
on the principles of harmony. The
Pythagoreans maintained an opinion
which many Of the poets have adopt.
ed, that music is produced by the
motion of the spheres in their sew
eral orbits that the names Of
sounds, in all probability, were de-
rived from the seven stars.
Pythagoras says that the whole
world is made according to musical
proportions. Plato asserts that the
soul Of the world is conjoined with
musical proportions.
Sir Isaac Newton was Of opinion
that the principles OF harmony per-
wade the universe, and gives a proof
of the general principles from the
analogy between colors and sounds.
From q number Of experiments
made on a ray of light with the
prism, he found that the primary
colors occupied spaces exactly cor
respond ing with those intervals
which constitute the octave in the
division OF musical cord and
hence he has obviously shown the
affinity between the harmony Of
colors and musical sounds.
Shakespeare, Milton, Dry d n,
Mason, and other eminent poets all
seem to favor the Pythagorean sys-
tenn. The first of these, whose vast
mind grasped the whole creation,
with his internal mechanism, at
once, thus happily aludes to the
subject in his play of the Mer-
chant of Venice.
'sTbere not the smallest orb which thou
behold'st,
But on his motion like an angel sings,
Still choirtng to the young-eyed cheruk-
ms;
Such harmony is In immortal souIst
But whilst this muddy vestures or decay

He said he had seen four men die of

ANECDOTAL LITERATURE.

PERSEVERANCE MADE THE MUSICIAN.
Something like a century ago
there was great contrast between
the company at the opera house and
the chorister in the theaters in Italy.
This was especially the case at the
little city of Bergame. While the
choristers we're excellent, the COM
pany at the opera house was indif-
ferent. 1t could scarcely have been
otherwise, since the greater part Of
the choristers became distinguished
composers. DoniEetti, Cruvelli, Leo
doro, Blanche, Mari aud Dolci con-
menced by singing in the choruses
at Bergame.
There was, among others at this
epoch, a young man, very poor, very,
modest, and greatly beloved By his
comrades. In order to assist his
mother, be united the functions OF
chorister to the employment of
journeyman tailor.
One day when be had taken
pair Of pantaloons TO Nozari, the il
iustrious vocalist, after looking at
him earnestly, said to him very kind.

low, that have seen you some

"Not remarkably, sir, / can with
difficulty reach SOL"
"Let me see. Begin the gamnt,"
said Nozari, going TO the piano.
Our chorister obeyed, but when
be reached sol, he stopped short.
"Sound la-come try"
"Sir, cannot"
"Sound Ia, you fool.
''My dear sir, l cannot"
"Sound ST, tell you, or by my
soul I'll"
Don't get angry, Sir, I'll try, la,
ST, Ia, ST, do !"
II told you so,' said Nozari, with
voice of triumph land now, my
good fellow, ] will only say one
word to you. Ifyou will only study
and practice, you will become the
first tenor of Italy"
Mozart was right. The poor
chorister who had to mend brooches
to gain his bread, acquired fame and
fortune OF two millions. 1t was

The hand that lends enchantment to
The harp-strings may be fair;
me hand that wooes the sweet guitar
And makes the music there,
May be a slender one and soft.
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts
Is the little hand for me.
The hand that is ablaze with gems
Maybe the hand for you;
For some one else the hand that sweeps
The ivory keys may do;
The hand that goes with millions oft
Is beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts
Is the little hand for me.
Ny Bessie's arms are soft and round,
And she is plump and fair;
She's been away to cooking school
And learned some wonders there
Oh, others hands may be as small
And beautiful to see,
But the hand that rolls the doughnuts
Is the little hand for me.

Effect of War on Business.

\ part OF the desire for war proceeds from
an idea that war would make times better
Such an idea is not well founded. for the re-
verse would result During the late civil war
the products Of the farm, the mine and the
loom were all required for home consumption
and prices ruled high. Crops were short,
because at that time the great wheat lands of
the far west and northwest, and the lands of
the South were scarcely cultivated at all. In
a foreign war there would be risk in eXporta
tions of cotton, grain, pork, beef and manuiac-
lures. the home markets would be glutted and
prices would all rule lower Even now ships
are afraid to put 10 sea with cargoeS, because
in the event Of war there would be danger of
being captured
