A FAMOUS POEM.

A FAMOUS POEM.
The recent death of William Allen But
Ter, Of New York, has revived interest in
his first and most famous poem, Moth
mously in Harper's Weekly in 1857.
IL was one of the most notable satires
on New York ..society's extravaganza.
These verses, which were reproduced In
Great Britain and translated into French
and German, relate how Miss Flora Nc
Flimsey, of Madison square, spent most
clothes, and yet had Nothing to Wear"
Here is Miss McFlimsey's career;
Miss Flora McFlimsey, Of Madison
Has made three separate Journeys to
Paris,
And her father assures me. each time she
was there,
That she and her friend Mrs Harris

Shopping alone and shopping together,

For all manner Of things that a woman
can put
On the crown Of her head, or the sole of
her foot,
Or wrap round her shoulders, or fit round
Or that can be sewed on, or pinned on, or

Or tied on with a string, or stitched on

Dresses to sit in, and stand in, and walk

Dresses to dance in, and f1irt in and talk

Dresses in which to do nothing at all;
Dresses for Winter, Spring, Summer and

Sunday Study
PREPARING TO CROSS THE JoR-

DAN.
The International Sunday school les
son for Oct. 5 is found in Joshua l.,
Ill. The golden text is the ninth
verse, which, with the eighth verse, are
the memory verses. Moses had gone
and God addresses Himself to Joshua.
He bids the new Hebrew leader to
arise and cross the Jordan, saying:
Every place that the sole of your foot
shall tread upon that have l given unto
you, as I said unto Moses" And He
further said: GAS I was with Moses SO
1 will be with thee. 1 will not fail
thee nor forsake thee"
Joshua had seen some of the Lords
dealings with Moses, and he would
doubtless feel that this gracious as
surance covered all he could possibly
need or desire. Unto all Israel Moses
had given very similar words of en-
enlargement, but now God Himself
speaks to Joshua as He had previously
spoken to him by Moses, and the words
are the same as we shall see in these
following verses. Some say, ooh, if 1
could only hear God speak to mel" not
believing that in His word He is as
truly speaking to them as If they heard
an audible voice from heaven.
"Only be thou strong and very
courageous" With this command and
assurance there was nothing for
Joshua to do but to believe and go
obediently forward. He had no strength,
but God who sent him had all strength,
and Joshua had learned or was learn
ing to say, 'Tn the Lord have I right
eouSneSs and strength"
"This book of the law shall not de-
part out of thy mouth, but thou shalt
mediate therein day and night" The
first two psalms which form a preface
to the whole five books of Psalms, be-
gin with Blessed is the man" and end
with Blessed are all they that put
their trust in Him." Are you putting
your trust in Him?
Have not [ commanded thee? Be
strong and of a good courage. Be not
afraid, neither be thou dismayed, for
the Lord thy God is with thee whither-
soever thou goest." The assurance
that God sends us and that He is with
us covers everything. 1t is the great
est that mortals can have. 1t was
Gods encouragement to Moses, and
now to Joshua, and later to Gideon and
to Jeremiah. If we believe His words,
we shall neither be afraid nor dismay-
ed nor discouraged.
within three days We shall pass
over this Jordan to go in to possess the
land which the Lord your God giveth
you to possess it." These were the
words of Joshua to his people. The
land was theirs as a gift from God, but
they had to enter into it and appro-
pirate it. Jordan was before them to
be crossed, and the walled cities and
the giants were still there, but there
are no difficulties to God or to those
who, like Joshua and Caleb, believe in
God and His Son who died for the re-
demption Of the world.

not unlike those produced by music, and
he will demonstrate by the aid of what
may be called his patent smeller or OIL
factory manipulation how far perfumes can
be combined to an artistic entity similar
to melody or piece of descriptive music.
That this has never been accomplished
before, he says, is largely due to the lack
of apparatus capable of squirting doors
forcibly enough into an audience to pro-
duce precise impressions. He admits that
there are. certain odors strong enough to
project themselves great distances with
force enough to produce decided impress

SYMPHONIEs m ODORs

in large halls, will be put in operation,
and through, it's mechanism an original
fantasy entitled "A Trip to Japan in Six
teen Minutes" will be conveyed to the
audience by a succession of odors.
All lovers of good smells are expected
to patronize the concert, which will be
given by Mr.. Sadakachf Hartmann, an
aesthetic and odorist, or smell expert of
no mean standing. This olfactory enthu-
siast. will in a way feed the various
smells into his machine, and By series

dience much as a great musician sways
