Dundee, June 19,1878. the foot of the hill, and lie resumed them when he had made his c a l l ; for, like the great apostle, he used to labor, working with his own hands. W hen swinging himself along slowly toward his home, after a day of work on walls or ceilings, few took him for a min ister. Splotches of white showed finely on his face ; they were his business cards. Nature had done little to beautify h im ; the tailors, nothing. H e was short, broad, large-headed, and, seemingly, without neck. His cravats could never get under his chin. His eyes were very full, with smoky whites and slack lids. H e was nu merously clothed. His great breadth and small height caused many rents and w rin kles in the layers of his clothing. W hat was given him, though well-worn and ten der, he put on, and went about his work without pride or apology. For years I had met him, but had not known him, he was so silent and contain ed. He never seemed to know, much less resent, the caste prejudice that weighs so heavily on his race. A ll this was long ago. He has preached his last sermon, and is, I doubt not, restfully awaiting the resurrec tion of the just. I was to preach for brother Anderson one Sunday afternoon. A s I stood, eaves dropping, by his little wooden church, and waiting for the hour to come, I heard strange noises within— not the confused and voluminous noise of a crowd excited, as in revival times, but a single w ild cry now and then, or one heavy stamp, or a ringing clap from a pair of big, tough hands— the creatures of will, and not the outbursts of feeling. It was the corpse of go out an, tell ’em ’bout it— ’splain it to ’em. A n ’ I ’member wot de Bible sez ’bout de outer darkness, an’ de weepin’ an’ he wailin’ an’ de gnashin’ ob teeth. A n ’, if dese boys an’ gals stan’ dar outside a laffin’, bimeby dey’ll come to de weepin’ an’ de wailin’ de fus dey know. A n ’ den, wen dey stan’ roun’ de great temple ob de Lord, an’ see de glory shinin’ out, an’ de harpers harpin’, an’ all de music, an’ de elders bowin’, an’ all de shoutin’, like many waters, an’ all de saints a singin’ ‘ Glory to de Lam b ! ’ s’pose God’ll say, ‘ Stop dat noise d a r ! G a b r iel! You, Gabriel, go out an’ ’splain V ? “ Yes, I see dem stan’ las’ winter roun’ de doors an’ under de windows, an’ l a f f ; an’ dey peek in an’ laff. A n ’ I ’member what I see las’ summer ’mong de bees. Some ob de hives was nice an’ clean an’ still, like ’spectable meetin’s, an’ de odders was a bustin’ w id honey ; an’ de bees kep’ a goin’ an* a cornin’ in from de clover; dey jes’ kep’ on a fillin’ up de hive, till de hon ey was a flowin’ like in de lan’ ob Canaan. A n ’ I saw all roun’ de hive was de ants an’ a starved 4 4 class-meeting, ” and the noises sounded as if jerked into being by the oc casional galvanic shocks of some experi menter. Punctual to the hour, brother Anderson came rolling across the street and up to the door, and w e went in together. A fter the usual songs and prayers, I took for m y text Paul’s counsel to the Corinthians as to their disorderly meetings and meaning less noises. The sermon was, in the main, a reading of the fourteenth chapter of Paul’s first letter, w ith comments and ap plications interspersed. I spoke for half an hour, and while showing consideration for the noisy ways of m y audience, exhort ed them to cultivate intelligence as w e ll as passion. 4 4 W hen you feel the glory in you, let it out, of course. S h o u t 4 G lo r y ! ’ clap your hands, and all that. But stop now and then, and let some wise elder stand up and tell you what it all means. Men and boys hang round your windows, and laugh at you and at religion because they don’t un stand you. Some men, you know, have religion all in the head— clear, sharp, dry, and dead. Others, all in the heart— they feel it in their bones. Now , I want you to have religion in your heads and hearts. Let all things be done decently and in order. ” worms, an’ de great drones and black bugs, an’ dey keep on de outside! Dey wasn’t bees. Dey couldn’ make de honey for dar- selves. Dey couldn’ fly to de clover an’ de honeysuckle. Dey jes’ hung roun’ de bustin’ hive, an’ liv'd on de drippings. “ A n ’ de boys an’ gals come up yar an’ hang roun’ Jes’ come in an’ w e ’ll show you how de gospel bees do ! Come in an’ we’ll lead you to de clover! Come in— w e ’ll make your wings grow ! Come in ! won’t yer? W e ll, den, poor things, let ’em stan’ roun, de outside an’ have de drippin’s. We's got honey in dis hive ! ” Raising the hymn-book, an’ with tender voice, he took up the stanza just where he left i t ;— “ Part ob ’e hos’ ’av cross’ er flood, An’ part are crossin’ now. »» “ Sing, brudders! ” said he ; and, to his “ lining out,” they sang the whole hymn as only such as they can sing. A ll this was ten or twelve years ago. I remember that while he was speaking m y sermon seemed to shrink and fade. And now, as I recall the scene and record his words but in part, I am feeling the power of his w o rds- <« Heaven’s a mighty big place.” The Father’s house hath many homes, and places for many. W a s he dreaming of these as he went about our streets, w ith tub and brushes, to whiten and sweeten the homes of men? Did he w e a r his rags contentedly, mindful of his robes shining and exceeding white as snow ? In that day when there are last that shall be first, few w ill look down to find brother Anderson. N E W E N G L A N D POETS* I was very w e ll satisfied with m y effort, at the t im e ; it seemed a success. A s I sat down, brother Anderson got up and stood on the pulpit step to give out a h y m n : u Let saints below in concert sing. i* I am not certain that he could read ; for he stood, book in hand, and, seemingly from memory, gave the number of the hymn, and repeated the first tw o stanzas with deep and glow ing feeling. O f the third he read three lines : 44 One army ob de livin’ God, His common* we bow; Part ob ’e hos* ’av cross’ *er flood, An* part »♦ He stopped, and after swallowing one or two chokes, went on to say : 4 41 love brudder Beecher. I love to hear him preach dis afternoon. H e ’s tole us a good m any things. H e ’s our fren. A n ’ he sez, sez he, dat some folks goes up to glory noisy ’n shoutin’, an’ some goes still like, ’z if they’s shamed of wot’s in ’em. A n ’ he sez w e ’d better be more like the still kind, an’ white folks more like us. A n ’ den I thinks ’taint much ’count no way, wedder w e goes up still-like or shout in’, ’cause heaven’s a m ighty big place, brudders ; an’ w e n w e all goes marchin’ up to see de Lord, an’ I ’s so full ob de lub an’ de joy an’ de glory dat I mus’ clap my han’s an’ shout, de good Lord’s got some place w h a r we won’t ’sturb nobody, an’ we kin shout— 4 Glory! Glory! Bress de Lord ! Pm safe! Pm safe in de glory at las'! ’ I tell you, brudders an’ sisters, dat heaven’s a m ighty big place, an’ dar’s room for brudder Beecher an’ us too.” The death of Mr. Bryant w ill carry grief to m any circles beyond his household. The venerable Richard Henry Dana, now in his ninety-first year, is the last survivor of that poetic brotherhood whose verses were fam iliar fifty years ago. Sprague, Pier- pont, Percival, etc., etc., who were cotem poraries, have passed away. Mr. Dana is in this city, not having moved to his sum mer residence. H e enjoys a fair measure of health for one so advanced in years. His mental faculties are excellent, and he is able to read without glasses. The illness of Mr. Bryant (to whom he alludes as the last of his old friends), has occupied his thought for several days, as their relations have been intimate for more than half a century. The next generation of poets em brace among the living, Emerson, w hojwas 75 in M a y ; Longfellow, who was 71 in F e b r u a r y ; W h ittier, w h o celebrated his seventieth birthday last December, and close on their footsteps follows Holmes, who, in August next, w ill enter upon his seventieth year. Mr. George Lunt, whose occasional verses have given him a claim to recognition as a poet, is in his seventy- fourth year.— Boston Journal . B a r b e r s often assert that razors get tired of shaving, and that they w ill per form satisfactorily if permitted to rest for a time. It has been found, by miscros- copic examination, that the tired razor, from long strapping by the same hand and in the same direction, has the ultimate fibres of its surface or edge all arranged in one direction, like the edge of a piece of cut velvet; but after a month’s rest, the fibres re-arrange themselves heterogene ously, crossing each other, and presenting a saw-like edge, each fibre supporting its fellow, and hence cutting the beard, in stead of being forced down flat without cutting. _____________________ 44 Dot's so!

H e says de ingins on de railroad only puff— puff— reg’lar breathin’-like, wen dey’s at w o rk haulin’ de big loads, an’ dat de bells an’ de whistles don’ do no work ; Guess dat’s so.

O f course, his hearers were 4 4 T h e r e is one rather absurd thing about postal cards,” says the Paterson Press, 4 4 that seems not to be generally known : A good writer, who gets things down fine, can get several thousand words on a card, and the cost is a cent; but if he puts a printed slip, containing a single word, on the card, the cost is six cents— one paid for the card, and the other collected from the card receiver; yet, if words are printed on the card itself, it is all right. If a person paste a printed slip on a card the size of a postal card, and put the card and slip in an envelope, the Government w ill carry card, slip, and envelope for a cent; yet it charges six cents for carrying the card and slip without the envelope. Then, if you have occasion to paste a printed paragraph on a postal card, put it in an envelope, and the additional weight w ill be carried four cents cheaper than the card alone.” by this time swaying, shouting, and Am en- ing splendidly.) 4 4 A n ’ de boys an’ gals, an’ de darks an’ young lawyers, dey come up yere watch- night, an’ dey peek in de windows an’ stan’ roun’ de doors ; an’ dey laff an’ make A n ’ brudder Beecher sez; fun of ’lig’n.

O U R TONGUES. BY V. OLDFIELD. The only edged tool that becomes sharp er by constant usage is the tongue. It is often a sting, full of deadly poison. It is both an offensive and defensive weapon— a shield and a spear. One of the most im portant lessons of this life is learned, when we have been taught by experience, or other means, to speak evil of no man. There are in almost every community a class of people, termed “ busy-bodies,” who make it their especial business to gather up all floating reports for further circulation. It does not seem to matter whether there is much truth in said re- R I T C H E L ’S F L Y I N G M A C H IN E * Successful Experim e n ts W itli a N e w ly Invented A ir Ship* person. “ W h ere did he come from ?” asked one, pointing at him. “Somebody left the door open and it blew in,” said another. “ I don’t think its alive,” said a third. “ Touch it and see,” remarked a fourth. “ Yes, it's a man— see it move ?” queried the first. The first open air exhibition of Prof. C. F. Ritchel’s flying machine was conduct- A ll hands laughed boisterously. “ I'm a poor man, and I don’t want to have any trouble with anybody.

Anything and everything that w ill serve to satisfy their insatiate desire for a sensation. These mischief-makers are often the means of forming divisions and factions in our churches. For, if a church-member listens to all the idle talk that m ay be afloat, and then repeats it, he is, as a general thing, more apt to be believed than one who makes n6 profession of religion. Y o u w ill rarely know this class of individuals to come and tell you, in a friendly manner, of your failings, and express an-interest in your welfare. But, ou the contrary, they, by their words and actions, push men on in ways of sin.

Now, if church-members would cease all unprofitable talking, and get their tongues going for God and truth, instead of for the devil, what an additional power and impetus would be given to the Mas ter's cause in our somewhat quiet village. In small places, there are, as a general thing, quite a large class who seem to know more of your affairs than you do yourself. The tongue is like a masked battery : it makes us feel fire when w c can't see smoke. A s a condition of long life, physician’s tell us to keep the head cool and the feet warm . This is Peter’s receipt for a long and happy life, and to see good d a y s : “ Let him restrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile.” Physi cians are accustomed to judge of the bodi ly health by the condition of the tongue, assuming, as a settled fact, that there is a close relationship between the state of the tongue and the general tone of the system. The apostle James adopts a like course: to judge of the soul’s health, he looks at the tongue. I f any man offend not in word, his moral health is perfect. Some carry dirks in their pockets; some others, in their mouths. There's never a spur for the tongue in all the Bible, but m any a bit. M ay our tongues and the powers of our being be consecrated to work for our bless ed Redeemer, and w e shall be in readiness for death and the judgment. A N IM P R E S S I V E LESSON* The story is told of a woman who freely used her tongue to the scandal of others, and confessed to the priest of what she had done. He gave her a ripe thistle-top and told her to go out in various directions and scatter the seeds one by one. W o n d er ing at the penance, she obeyed, and then returned and told her confessor. To her amazement, he bade her go back and gath er the scattered seeds : and when she ob jected that it would be impossible, he re plied that it would be still more difficult to gather up and destroy all evils reports which she had circulated about others. A n y thoughtless, careless child can scatter a handful of thistle seeds before the wind in a m o m e n t; but the strongest and wisest man cannot gather them again. T h e gentleman who attracted attention in church last week, by crying out, “ Holy Moses! ” had no intention of disturbing the congregation.

The inventor, Mr. Ritchel, is a Maine man, but has, during several years past, lived at Corry, Pa. The project of con structing a flying machine has been a fav orite subject for contemplation with him during nearly ten years past, and for the last seven of that time he and his friend, Mr. W . H. Lyman, of Corry, P a ., have in cubated the idea together. In the first apparatus which they con structed, some parts were too heavy oth ers too large, and there was an ineffect ive application of power. Then a second one was built, that is now upon exhibition, and though it cannot be said to be so far perfected as to be capable of application to practical service, such as serving a mail route, or even as a popular vehicle for travel, it is still of very great importance as proving the correctness of the theories upon which it was based. of every loyal American patriot, as the an niversary of the battle of Bunker H ill and the blessed time of the adjournment of Congress.

Broad worsted bands extend over that and From that down to a rod of brass tubing, rod the machine is suspended by slender cords. The after portion of the machine is at the base a parallelogram of rods 2 feet wide and 54 feet long, from which rise, lengthwise, curved rods 18 inches high in the center, and drawn near togeth er at the top. Above the apex of this form rises a cog-edged steel wheel, 11 inches in diameter, with double handles so geared to a four-bladed fan moving hor izontally, directly beneath, that the opera tor can give the fan 2,000 revolutions per minute. The four blades of the fan are of A M inneapo l is boy was sent by .his teacher, a woman, to the superintendent to be whipped. The lad suspected th contents of the note, and hired a boy L“ met on the street to deliver it, giving him ten cents. The superintendent didn’t dis cover, until after the castigation was over, that the boy he had flogged had not seen the inside of a school for six months. 3 T h e Burlington Haiokeye is authority for the statement that an intelligent Iow a fanner has invented a henoplione, modeled white holly, and the extreme diameter of the revolving fan is 24 inches. The blades are set at a slight angle, like those of the screw of a propeller. A vertically-working revolving fan, 22 inches in diamenter, is so geared to the main or horizontal fan that it m ay be operated or not, at the pleasure of the driver of the machine, and can be made to turn from one side to the other, so as to deflect the course of the machine in the air. This fan w ill make 2,800 revo lutions per minute when the other is mak ing 2,000. A ll its movements are controlled by the operator’s feet. The weight, nor mally of the machine, and the rod from which it is suspended, is 48 pounds. This, then, gives 114 pounds as the weight of the entire apparatus.

A s fast as a new nest contains the full complement of eggs, it is connected with the central office by a copper wire, and the thing is settled. The only trouble with the machine is, that it sets so hard that it hatches out the porcelain nest eggs along with the others, so that one chick in every nest is born with a glass eye, and the farm er has to buy and train a dog to lead it around. This makes it expensive. I nstruction in practical cookery is a part of the new system in the public schools o f London. This compare tree by re cent innovation has cost a struggle; but many sensible persons advocated it on the ground that, while the School Board spent a great deal of money for instruction in ornamental branches, the interest in and knowledge of common, practical arts of household life were losing ground. The London School Board lias taken the re sponsibility of making domestic economy a part of the regular school course; lessons are given on food and its preparation, in and for advanced every girl’s school; classes there are twenty-one kitchens es tablished in different parts of the city, fit ted with suitable appliances, and presided over by a skillful teacher of cookery. 1 . . . . * \ \ / t <« « i . t « i r i. i ' . < t V I ✓ j a . \ ) ' i r f
