The psad alltht nighdescrt. - beod the reference hee ips not to a cy-his clone, but tq the long-continued blow ing of the wind from an unhealthful quarter. The north borind is bon thracing the south wind s hatterelng, but the wast wind is irritating and summer of threat. Eighteen tiand es doers the Bible speak against the ewost wind. thaoses describes the thin ears blasted by the east wind. The psiflist describes the breaking of the ships of Tarshish by the east wind. The locusts that plagued Egypt were borne in on the east wind. The gourd that sheltered Jonah was shattered by the east kind; and in all the 6,000 summers, atitumns, winters and springs of the world's existence the worst wind tht to ever blew is the east wind. Nowder thif winod would only give uthe climate of perpetual nor'esters, how genial and kind and placid and industrious Chris tian5 we would all bet But it takes nd mghtygrers aveto be what we ought to be nd tor the east wind. Under the chilling and wet wing of the criminal wind the most of the world's find villianiee, fraunds, outrages, suicides and murders have been hatched out. I think if you should keep t !neteoro logical history ef the days of the year, and put right beside it the criminal record of the country, you would find that those were the best days for pub= lie morals which were inder the north or west wind, and that those were the worst days for public morals which were under the east wind. The points of the compass have more to do with the world's morals and the church's piety than you have yet saspected. Rev, Dr. Archibald Alexander, emi nent for learning and for consecra tion, when asked by one of his stdi dents at Princeton whether he always had full assutifbe of faith, replied: "Yes, except when the wind blows hrom the east." Dr. Francia, dictator of Paraguay, when the wind was foltn the east, made oppressive enactments for the people; but when the weather changed, repented him of the cruel ties repealed the enactments, and was In good humor with all the world. Before I overtake the main thought of my subject I want to tell Christian people they ought to be observant of climatic changes. Be on your guard when the wind blows fromnt the east. There are certain styles of temptation that you can not endure under certain styles of weather. When the wind blows from the east, if you are of a nery.is temperament, go not among Kxasperating people, try not to settle bad debts, do not try to settle old dis putes, do not talk with a bigot on re ligion, do not go among those people who delight in saying irritating things, do not try to collect funds for a charitable institution, do not try to answer an insulting letter. If these things must be done, do them when the wind is from the north, or the south, or the west, but not when the wind is from the east. You say that men and women ought not to be so sensitive and nervous. I admit it, but I am not talking about what the world ought to be; I am talking about what the world is. While there are persons whose dispo sition does not seem to be affected by changes in the atmosphere, nine out of ten are mightily played upon by such influences. 0 Christian man! under such circumstances do not write hard things against yourself, do not get worried about your fluctuating experi snce. You tre to remember that the barometer in your soul is only an swering the barometer of the weather. Instead of sitting down and becoming discouraged and saying, "I am not a Chris tian because I don't feel exhil arant." get up and look out of the window and see the weather vane potating in the wrong quarter, and then say: "Get thee behind me, Satan, thou prince of the power of the air; get out of my house! get out of my heart, thou demon of darkness horsed onthe east wind. Away!" However good and great you may be in the Christian life, your soul will never be independent of physical condition. I feel I am uttering a most practical, useful t·nth here, one that may give relief to a great many Christians who are worried and despondent at times. Dr. Rush, a monarch in medicine, after curing hundreds of cases of men tal depression, himself fell sick and lost his religious hope, and he would not believe his pastor when the pastor told him that his spiritual depression was only a consequence of physical de pressilon. Andrew Fuller, Thomas Seott, William Cowper, Thomas Boe ton, David Blrainerd, Philip Melancthon were mighty men for God, but all of them illustrations of the fact that a man's soul is not independent of his phyleail health. An eminent physician gave as his opinion that no man ever died a greatly triumphantdeath whose disease was below the diaphragm. 8tackhouse, the learned Christian commentator, says he does not think aul was insane when David played the hrpbefore him, but it was a hypo choodria coming from inflammation of the liver.

I saw in a foxeign jo"urnal a report of one of George Whitesleld's sermon~, a seulopit preached sto hodoneed and twenty o" thirty years ago. It seemed that the reporter stood to take the sermon, and his chief idea was to caricature iti and these are some of the reportorial In terlinings of the sermon of George Whitefleld. After callins him by a nicknhme indicative of a physical de fect in the eye, it goes on to say: "Here the preacher clasps his chin on the pulit cshion. Itere he elevates hie oice. Here he lower stood tos his voice. Hold his arms extended. Bawls ls to caricature it; and Stands tremblng Mthkes a frightful face. Trlinrtit s of the whites of his eyes. lahtesld his hands behind him. Clasps his arms around him and hugs him self. Roars aloud. Holins. Jumps. Cries. Changes from crying. HIollas and jumps again." Well; my brother, if that good man went through all that process, in your occupation, in your profession, in your store, in your shop, at the bar, in the sick room, in the edi torial chair, somewhereu yout will have to go through a similar process; you can not escape it. Keats wrote his famous poem. and the hard criticism of the poem killed himn-literally killed him. Tasso wrote his poem entitled "Jerusalem Deliv ered," and it had such a cold rec3ption it turned him into a raving maniac. Stillingfleet was slain by his literary enemies. The frown of Henry VIII. slew Cardinal Wolsey. The dtlke of Wellington refused to have the fence around his house, which had been de stroyed by a mob, rebuilt, because he wanted the fence to remain as it was, a reminder of the mutability and un certainty of the pop ular favor. And you will have trial of some sort, You have had it already. Why need i prophesy? I might better mention an historical fact in your history. You are a merchant What a time you had with that old business partner! How hard it was to get rid of him? flefdre you bought him out, or he ruined both of you, what magnitude of annoyance! Then, after you had paid him down a certain sum of money to have him go out, and to promise he would not open a store of the same kind of business in your street, did he not open the very same kind of business as near to you as possible, and take all your culnbmers as far as he could take them? And then, knowing all your frailties and weaknesses, after being in your busi ness firm for so many years, is he not now spending his time in making a commentary on what you furnished as a text? You are a physician, and in your sickness, or in your absence, you get a neighboring doctor to take your place in the sick room, and he ingrati ates himself into the favor of that family, so that you forever lose their patronage. Or, you take a patient through the serious stages of a fever, and some day the impatient fa ther or husband of the sick one rushes out and gets another medical practitioner, who comes in just in time to get the credit of the cure. Or, you are a lawyer, and you come in contact with a trickster in your pro fession, and in your absence, and con trary to agreement, hlie moves a non suit or the aismissal of the case; or the judge on the bench, remembering an old political grudge, rules against you every time he gets a chance, and says, with a snarl: "If you don't like my decision, take an exception." Or, yon are a farmer, and the curculio stings the fruit, or the weevil gets into the wheat, or the drought stunts the corn, or the longcontinued rains give you no opportunity for gathering the har vest. Your best cow gets the hollow horn, yaour best horse gets foundered. A French proverb said that trouble comes in on horseback and goes away on foot. So trouble dashed in on you suddenly, but oh, how long it was in getting away! Came on horseback, goes away on foot. Rapid in coming, slow il going. That is the history of nearly all your troubles. Again and again and again, you have experienced the power of the east wind. It may be blowing from that direction now. My friends, God intended these trou bles and trials for some particular pur pose They do not come at random. iere is the promise: "He stayeth His rough wind in the day of ti'e east wind." In the tower of London the swords and the guns of other ages are burnished and arranged into huge pasion-flowers, and sunflowers, and bridal oaks, and you wonder how anything so hard as steel can be put into such floral shapes. I have to tell you that the hard est, sharpest, most cutting, most pierc. ing sorrows of this life may be made to bloom andblossom and put on bridal festivity. Tmhe Bible says they shall be mitigated, they shall be assuaged, they shall be graduated. God is not going to allow you to be overthrown. A Christian woman, very mucb despondpt, was holding her child in her arms, and the pastor, trying to console the woman in her spiritual depression, amid: "There, yeao will let your child drop" "Oh, no,q" she said. "I couldn't let the hobild drop," Be said: "You will let the chiAM drop" "Why," she said, "if I la dr~ the ch-ld here, .it wold i)y*&.as 7ee arel as good ears of J sa you tske ie s ofpr GbUhI tIas wet let yow tt er harbw t f t ,ade- We haea .. h" w au.whirlwind up the coast, we are h in the ale, an we ery e ferto harbor.

There were inscrip tions in three or four languages on that Rosetta stone. Scholars study ing out the klphabet of hieroc glyphids fodil that stone wveid enabled to read ancient inscrip tions on monuments and on tomb stones. Well, tiany of the handwrit ings bf God in eei life artr indecipher able hieroglyphies; Wd iad not utide' stand them until we take up the Roset ta stone of divine inspiration, and the explanation all comes out, and thf mysteries all vanish, and what was before beyoud out i uidet·stadding now is plain in its meaning, as wd read: "All things .wotk together fop good to those who love God." So we decipher the hieroglyphics. Oh! my friends! have you ever calculated what trouble did for David? It, made him the seerI+d triintrel for ail ages. What did tiouble do for Joseph. Made him the keeper of the corn-cribs of Egypt. What did it do for Paul? Made him the great apostle to the Gentiles. What did it do for Samuel Rutherfofd ? Made his invalid ism more illiistrious thatA robust health; What did it do for $ichair Baxter? Gave him capacity to write of the "Saidt's Everlasting Rest." What did it do for John Bunyan? Showed him the shinging gates of the city. What has it done for you? Since the loss of that child your spir it has been purer. Since the loss of that rfdpert3y. yout have founld out that earthly investme nts are insecure. Since you lost your health, you feel ad never before a rapt anticipation of eternal release: Trouble has hunm bled you, has enlarged you, has multbh plied your resources, has equipped you, has loosened you' grasp from this world and tightened your grip on the next. Oh! bless God for the east wind, It has driven you into the harbor of God's sympathy. Nothing like trouble to show us that this world is an insufficient portion: Hogarth was about done with life, and he wanted to paint the end of alf all things. He put on canvas a shat tered bottle, a cracked bell, an un strung harp, a sign-board of a tavern called "The World's End" falling down, a shipwreck, the horses of Phoebus lying dead in the clouds, the moon in her last quarter, and the world on fire. "One thing more," said llogarth, and mly picture is done." Then he added the broken palette of a painter. Then he died. But trout ble, with hand mightier and morq skillfull than Ilogarth's, pictures the falling, failing, moldering, dying world. And we want something pers manent to Jay hold of, and we grasp with both hands after God, and say: "The Lord is my light, the Lord is my love, the Lord is my fortress, the Lord is my sacrifice, the Lord, the Lord is my God." Bless God for your trials. Oh, my, Christian friend! keep your spirits up the power of Christ's Gospel. Do not surrender. Do you not know that when you give up, others will give up You have courage, and others will have courage. The Romans went into the battle, and by some accident there was an inclination of the standard. The standard uprignt meant for ward march; the inclination of the standard meant surrender. Through the negligence of the man who car ried the standard, and the inclination of it, the army surrendered. Oh! let us keep the standard up, whether it be blown down by the east wind, or the north wind, or the south wind. No in clination to surrender. Forward intq the conflict. There is near Bombay a tree that they call the "sorrowing tree," the pe. culiarity of which is it never puts forth any bloom in the daytime, but in the night puts out all its bloom and all its redolence. And Ihave to tell you that though Christian character puts fortlq its sweetest blossoms in the darkness of sickness. the darkness of financial dis tress, the darkness of bereavement, the darkness of death, "weeping may en dure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Across the harsh discords of this world rolls the music of the skies-music that breaks from the lips, masic that breaks from the harps and rustles from the palms, music like falling water over rocks, muasic like wandering winds among leaves, music like carrolling birds among forests, music like ocean billows storming the Atlantic beach: "They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them nor any heat; for the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall lead them to living fountains of water, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." L see a great Christian fleet apr proaching that harbor. Some of the ships come in with sails rent and bulwarks knocked way, but still afloat. Nearer and nearer the shining shore. Nearer and nearer eternal anchorage. Haul away, my lads, haul away. Some of the ships had a mighty tonnage, and othert were shallops easily lifted of the wind and wave.

FLOWERS SERVED AS FOOD. Strange Uses to Which Buds and Bles seame Are Put. A diniief di i bunch of rosebuds would hardly be called a feast, and we should most likely be inclined to think our selves trifled with if we were asked to dine upon the great growing blossoms of a pumpkin vine. But In olden times b some of the American Indians, notably a the Aztecs, esteemed these flowers, J when properly cooked, a great dainty. At the present day the natives of many o parts of India depend for food upon tLe d blossoms of the bassia tree." They do not even need to cook the flowers, but make a good meal of them raw, just as they gather them up under the trees, from which they fall id great quantities during the tight, The American Druggist describes the blossoms as sweet and sickly in odor 14 and taste. Sometimes they are dried t1 in the sun and are kept and sold in the " bazars as a regular article of diet. The trees are so highly esteemed that the - threat of cutting down their bassia trees will generally bring an unruly tribe to terms. This is hardly to be wondered at when it is understood that a single tree will yield from 200 to 400 pounds of flowers. The Parsees cool the flowers,, qnd also make sweet meats of them. But, after all, we are not quite at liberty to smile at the flower-eating propensities of these strange peoples. There is one flower afforded by our own gardens that finds a place freely upon our tables. We are apt to look upon the delicious cauliflower as a cab bage, but it is the flower heads and flower stalks that we consume in the cauliflower, and not the leaves, as in the case of the cabbage. He who eats a cauliflower is a flower eater as truly as the Parsee. Nobody would be inclined to deny that smoked fish and smoked meat are agreeable varieties in our bill of fare, but few, perhaps, would feel ready to plead guilty to a taste for smoked flow ers. And yet, when we give to the clove its well-earned place among our flavor ings, we are making use of a smoked flower bud. The delicate peach-colored buds grow on a small evergreen and are ruthlessly plucked from the ends of the branches before they have had time to expand. Afterward they are dried in the sun, and then slightly smoked over a wood fire, to give them the brown color we are familiar with.-Youth's Companion. The Dimisation of Natality. Anthropological societies are much exercised over the fact that in some countries the death rate exceeds the birth rate to a degree that seems to threaten a comparatively early termina tion of the life of the nation. For in stance, out of the 86 departments into which F'rnce is divided, in 51 the deaths exceed the births. The annual natality for the whole country is only 23.7 for each 1,000 inhabitants, and this number includes the stillborn. In order to remedy this progressive depopulation, the French Association for the Advance ment of Science has set itself to ascer tain the causes of it. Dr. E. Maurel pointed out that the birth rate is lowest in those departments where food is most abundant and cheapest. The re lation between these two facts he held to be the prevalence of hereditary arthritic diathesis (uric acid diathe sis), leading to diminution of repro ductive vigor in both sexes. This diathesis arises from excessive alimen tation. Another speaker, Dr. Pomerol, attributed the dimished natality to vol untary restrietion, while others asug gested the inerease of religious celi bacy, the laws relating to the division of property, the lateness of marriages and the decreased reproductivenems of women.--St ,uls Republic.
