TO SWEEP THE SKIES.
Scheme for Throwing a Picture of
"OId Glory" Up Into CIOudland.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Through the CO.
operation of the committee on decorations
of the Charter day commission with sew
eral prominent electrical engineers some ex-
traordinary displays through the agency of
electricity have been planned for the Char
ter-day celebration in May. The committee
has secured for the length of the celebra-
ton all the manholes of the subways in
Broadway and Fifth avenue, and in them
the electricians will rig powerful electric
searchlights. The holes will be covered
with griddle-lilSe arrangement, and the
blades of light will shoot heayenward in
great, elongated lines, forming the flag OF
the United States, with the stars upper
most The lights will be powerful enough
to cast the reflections thousands OF feet into
the sky. From the Battery to Central Park
will be stretched miles Of wire, hung thick
ly with colored globes, and an alternating
current will be shot through them. AT
equal distances great vari-colored globes
win be suspended and powerful lights will
play upon them. The committee has adopt
ed as a special Charter-day flag a shield
bearing the city's coat-of-arms, circled by
Eve stars, enblematic of the five boroughs.

believe in enthusiasm but / am learn
ing to discount enthusiasm that is not the
result of well-considered and deliberately
chosen principles of conduct. I am a be-
lever in feeling, but 1 am cautious about
those feelings that do not rest down upon
the solid foundations of good sense. There
are those who never do anything until they
feel like it. Those are not the successful
people OF the earth.
Another thing. 1t is no proof that you
are not doing good because you cannot feel
that you are doing good The lighthouse
keeper trimming his lamp by day and keep
ing it burning by night has no feeling of
success. Nobody ever comes to tell him
that they have been saved from wreck
through his fidelity. Ships that pass in the
night do not stop at the nearest port and
send him flowers or a handsome note of
recognition. But he keeps on making that
light shine in storm and tempest; in star
light and in darkness. not night fails, be-
cause his service is not based upon feeling
but upon duty.
You, my friend, If you keep your light
trimmed and burning, making it to shine
forth clear and fieckless into the troubled
sea where so many are liable to be wrecked,
need not worry about your feelings or your
knowledge whether you are doing any good
or not; just shine on-sfine on with fiawless
honesty, with genuine charity, with prompt
performance of duty, and God will take
care that your light will not shine In vain.
The deep emotions of life are the ripe, full
experiences of self-denying service. They
are the fruits of obedience, the rich meas
ure OF reward for service well performed.
Do not wait for them, do not delay obedi-
ence because they have not come. Go and
do the duty that is at hand, perform the
plain, everyday task, place yourself in full
union with Christ and your neighbor. and
the patient continuance in well-doing will
bring all the emotions and feelings that the
heart is able to sustain.
