A little west of the zenith, about an hour before midnight, on these late summer and in early autumn evenings, a most attractive spectacle presents itself to the scrutiny of the star-gazer. Gradually receding toward the northwestern horizon, Arcturus emits the deep 3ellow light that, like the autumnal glow on the leaves of the beech and the chestnut, proclaims a declining phase of vitality; while yet farther to the north and west, and lower down Ursa Major, the Great Bear, glitters with all the splendor of its seven principal components, whose brilliancy to the naked e3'e not seldom makes them appear (at least as regards several of the number) worthy of a place among the stars of the first rank. Turning a little to the southeast and throwing the head back Blightly, one sees Altair of Aquila, the Lagle, a most sightly first magnitude star with two conspicuous companions, one on either side of it to the north and south forming a wide segment of an arc that puts one in mind of an eagle's feather or of an arrow pointing toward the equator and the north pole. Thrusting the head just a little farther back, you behold in the northeast the graceful constellation of Cygnus, with the first magnitude star, Deneb, gleaming amid its mates; while directly before you, westward, lo!

It may be in that hour will be too feeble to say a long pra3er.

It may be in that hour we will not be able to say the "Lord's Prayer," for it has 6even petitions. Perhaps we may be too feeble e7en to say the infant prayer pur mothers taught us, which John Qnincy Adams, 70 years of age, said every night when he put his head upon his pillow: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep." We may be too feeble to employ either of these familiar forms; but this praj-er of Stephen is so short, is so concise, is so earnest, is so comprehensive, we surely will be able to say that: "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Oh, If that prayer is answered, how sweet it will be to die! This world is clever enough to us. Perhaps it has treated us a good deal better than we deserved to be treated; but if on the d3'inpr pillow there shall break the light of that better world, we shall have no more regret than about leaving a small, dark, damp house for one large, beautiful and capacious. That dying minister in Philadelphia, some years ago, beautifully depicted it when, in the last moment, he threw up his hands and cried out: "I move into the light!" Pass on, now, and I will show you one more picture, and that is Stephen asleep. With a pathos and simplicity peculiar to the Scriptures, the text says of Stephen: "He fell asleep." "Oh," you say, "what a place to sleep! A rock under him, stones falling upon him, the blood streaming, the mob bowling.

What a place it was to sleep!" And 3'et my text takes that symbol of slumber to describe his departure, so sweet it was, so contented was it, so peaceful was it. Stephen had lived a very laborious life. His chief work had been to care for the poor. How many loaves of bread he had distributed, how many bare feet he had sandalled, how many cots of sickness and distress he hail blest with his ministries of kindness and love, I do not know; 3-et from the way he lived and the way he preached, and the way he died, I know he was a laborious Christian. But that is all over now.

He has pressed the cup to the last fainting lip. He has taken the last insult from his enemies. The last stone to whoso crushing know the most of the world's history, what other king ever asked the abandoned, and the forlorn, and the wretched, and the outcast to come and sit beside hiin? Oh, wonderful invitation! You can take it to-day, and stand at the head of the darkest alley in all this city, and say: "Come! Clothes for your rags, salve for your sores, a throne for 3-our eternal reigning." A Christ that talks like that and acts like that, and pardons like that do you wonder that Stephen stoo I looking at Him? I hope to spend eternity doing the same I must see Hiin; I must look upon that face oncj clouded with my sin, but now radiant with my pardon. I want to touch that hand that knocked off rny shackles. I want to hear the voice that pronounced my deliverance.

Heboid Him, little children; for if 3011 live three t.core 3'ears and ten, 3'ou will see none so fair. Heboid Him, 3'e aged ones; for He can only shine through the dimness of your failing eyesight. Heboid Ilim, earth. Behold Him, Heaven. What a moment when all the nations of the saved shall rather around Christ! All faces that way.

All thrones that way, gazing on Jesus. His worth, if all the nations knew. Sure the wiio'e earth would love Him, too. I pass on now and look at Stephen stoned. The world has always wanted to get rid of good men.

Their very life is an assault upon wickedness. Out with Stephen through the gates of the cit3r. Down with him over the precipices. Let every man coma up and drop a stone upon his head. But these men did not so much kill Stephen as they killed themselves.

Kvcry stone rebounded upon them. While these murderers were transfixed by the scorn of all good men, Stephen lives in the admiration of all Christendom. Stephen stoned, but Stephen alive. So all good men must be pelted. "All who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution.

It is no eulogy of a man to say that everybody likes him. Show me any one who is doing all his duty to state and church and I will show 3'ou scores of men who utterly abhor him. If all men speak well of you, it is because you are cither a laggard or a dolt. If a steamer makes rapid progress through the waves, the water will boil and foam all around it.

T. I)e Witt Talinage grouped his discourse into "Five Pictures." The text was from Act vii. "Behold, I ee the Heavens open." Dr. Talmage iaid: Stephen had been preaching a rousing sermon and the people could not stand it. They resolved to do as men sometimes would like to do in this day, if they dared, with soma plain preacher of righteousness kill h'un.

The only way to silence this man was to knock the breath out of him. So they rushed out of the rates of the city, and with curse and whoop and bellow they brought him to the cliff, as was the custom when they wanted to take away life by stoning. Having brought him to the edge of the cliff, they pushed him off. After he had fallen they came and looked down and seeing that he was not yet dead, they began to drop stones upon him, stone after stone. Amid this horrible rain of missiles Stephen clambers upon his knees and folds his hands, while the blood drips from his temples; and then, looking up, he makes two praj-ers one for himself and one or his murderers.

"Lord receive my spirit," that was for himself, "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge," that was for his murderers. Then, from pain and loss of blood, he swooned away and fell asleep. I want to show you to-day five pictures, Stephen 'gazing into Heaven. Stephen looking at thrift Stephen Stephen in his dyiny prayer. Stephen asleep.

My method for long-distance walking is as follows: Assume something of a bic3cle hump, lean far forward, give no push with the feet; depend altogether for momentum on the force exerted by gravity, which, by ready raised some very nice points, system, which, if placed at the dis over which chemists, mathematicians. tance of Vega from us, would dwindle and physicians may wrangle lor some estate, and I hnd that the newspapers anathematize him, and men, even good men, oppose him and denounce him be time to come. to a little fifth magnitude star, hardly visible to the ordinary naked eye.

Do you wonder that people often stand, like Stephen, loolciug into Heaven? We have many frieu.ls there.

I cannot tell by the blowing of the wind whether it will be fair weather or foul on the morrow. But I can prophesy and I will prophesy what weather it will be when you, the Christian, come to die.

Tracy of the Springfield (Mo.) district once owned?" asked Carr at the Planters' recently. "No? Well, I'll tell you about it. I was in Springfield and was going to Texas, and Tracy asked me to get a Texas mocking bird and send it to him.

He said his wife had long wished for one, and he thought I could get it for him. 1 promised to do my best. "The so-called Texas mocking bird Is larger thau the northern product, and has a long, scissors-like tail with a large white spot on each division of it. It is much easier to domesticate than the native of the northern states, aud its tones when it sings are more mellow. When I struck Paris, I went to see a friend of mine who had, I knew, several fine specimens.

I told him what I wanted, and he showed me several fine birds and then asked me which one I wanted. 1 told him I wanted the largest one he had. "He took me into a rear room and said he would show me Brazilian bird that beat the Texansallto pieces. Then he brought out a cage in which was the largest owl I ever saw. livery feather on its body was pura white, aud when stretched out its wings measured over two and a half feet from tip to tip.

I saw the joke at once, and decided to send it the owl to Tracy. "I boxed the bird up and took it to the express ofllce.

He had a ball and chain attached to its leg so that it coulH not fly. It could walk easily, however, and for a long time the owl bad the freedom of Tracy's house and yard. "One night the bird grew thirsty and hopped onto the edge of a barrel that stood under a spout at a corner of the bouse. He lost his balance and fell in aud the ball followed, lie tried to get out, but could not fly with the ball attached to his leg, so he was drowned.

The bodice 1 make in the simple, old-fashioned surplice style, which forms a small, pretty at the throat and is admirably ndnpted lo the i pi 3' of a big fichu such as nre to be very much worn thi year. The sleeves are loose puffs, ending just below tho elbow in a ruffle. The skirt is plain and simple nnd but tons beneath a ribbon belt to a bodice.

I use soft Henriettas, fine cashmeres, silk-warped woolens of all sorts and old-fashioned nun's veiling for these. As for color, red is very cheerful, and frequently a man is Kent on his waj from the breakfast table rejoicing because his wife has worn cheerful red instead of dingy browns. Tho old blues are prettv, too, and gray is nl-ways suitable if it not a stone 01 slato gray. Tho wise woman nevei wears anything at breakfast which ii suggestive of tho blues or lils of bad temper." "Then," en id madame, after a rcAo tivc pause, "there nre the tea gowns. Never lot anyone persuade 3'ou that real tea gown is meant to wear ut afternoon tea, unless 3-011 are your owe room, I am making tea jackets by the score, but not a tea gown.

The jackets, some of them, nre made almost like blazer jackets, with a short rippl basque and a vest of chiffon or lace. Others are more in tho Directolre style, and longer, with a lace frill falling from the collar at the throat. The materials used are silk ftnd rifitin, and later in tho season ve.l vet will come in for its share of tea jackets. Brocades are particularly well adapted to this stylo of garment. Tho brighter colors aro used a great deal, and tho jackets are worn over black silk, satin or crepon skirts.

They are very effectivo and picturesque. By the way, the sleeve must either end at the elbow in a frill or lace or must come well over the wrist in one of thoso embroidered or lace-edged tabs so popular now. "As for tho bona-fido tea gown, madame went on, "it has become nothing more nor less than a negligee, and it is not Keen in good society outside of the boudoir. It is, therefore, considerably less elaborate than it was in the old days, when it was regarded as able to hold its own in society. Tho favorite model at present is the student's gown.

There is no lining except an under yoke. Onto this tho silk is shirred about the neck and for a few inches below. Then it falls lit voluminous- folds to the hem. Tho sleeves are very big and loose nnd end just below the elbow. Lace is jaboted abont tho neck and all the way down the front to the hem.

It is fastened by silk strings, which draw It together here and there down tho front. Tho thin wash silks, either striped or flowered, are most in. favor for this gown, -N. Y. World, You have seen enough for one day.

Thanks to the fact that the moose i3 rather solitary in his habits, quickwitted, and keen of eve, ear and nostril in detecting danger, he is not destined to be exterminated so easily as the more stupid bison, caribou, and elk. Rarely, indeed, does a hunter find more than a family of moose together, even in the dead of winter, when they "3-ard up" in a given locality for days or weeks at a time. Ily reason of his great size, his savory flesh, his much-prized head, and the difficulty of killing him, this animal has always been very attractive to sportsmen and naturalists and pothunters also.

As a result, our leading scientific museums now possess more and finer mounted specimens of this species than of any other large game animal of America except tiie bion. The museums of Washington, New York, and the University of Kansas possess magnificent groups that are lasting monuments to the ffrcatness of Alecs American us, and a credit to our country besides. W.

There is no doubt but tiiat your obsequies will bi decent and respectful, and 3-ou will be able to pillow 3'our head under the maple, or the Norway spruce, or the cypress, or the blossoming fir, but this spirit about which Stephen prayed, what direction will that take? What guide will escort it? What gate will open to receive it? What cloud will be cleft for its pathway? After it has got hcyond the light nf the sun, will there be torches lighted for it the rest of the way? Will the soul have to travel through long deserts before it reaches the good land? If we should lose our pathway, will there be a castle at whose gate we may ask the way to the city? Oh, this mysterious spirit within us! It has two wings, but it is in a cage now.

It is locked fast to keep it; but let the door of this casre open the least, and that soul is off. Eagle's wing could not catch it. The lightnings are not swift enough to come up with it.

There is a point on the Piscataqua river which separates Maine from New Hampshire, about a mile from Kittery and the navy 3'ard. and about two miles from where the broad harbor opens wide to tiie ocean, at which the stream suddeuly narrows. A rocky point juts out into the swift waters and makes a powerful current, which lumber-laden sloops nnd barges nnd schooners take no chances in being towed up and down past this dangerous point, bristling with rocks. But smart yachts and men-of-war take tlieir chances of getting up alone. In the days of sailing fiigales and ships of the line it was a ticklish business to take a great ship, drawing twenty-two or three or four feet of water past this treacherous spot.
