MIDSUMMER.
flerc falls th sun from glowln sklee.
Alonr the roadside dint;.
Or shadow by the hertserow lira
Iletween the. spaces thrust;
A Ult rnt'i nest 'mid ragged thorns,
I.Ike some array ghost of spring,
Bttll keeps a hint of April morm
Where roblna used to line.
All dr the long, long golden beams
Of sunshine flash and fall.
And silence locks the sluggish rtrrama
Whose currents downward crawl;
While airy, vagrant butterflies
With desultory flight.
' Peneath a dome of cloudless skies,
Float past In shimmering light.
And en the bills a soft haie swims,
nine etched against the blue.
Above the far horlion rims,
Ione stretching to the view;
And In the woods a dove's low plaint
In melancholy croon
Comes through the vistas, sweet and faint.
While fades the afternoon.
Then twilight spreads her fluttering veil
While sinks the sun's red shield.
And stars put forth their facets pale
To lighten tare and Held,
And on past scent of briery musk
And myriad Insect hum,
Cllng-ctanglng through the odorous dusk
The jangling cow.bells come.

Hnring, had reached
the point where they had allowed their
unabridged views on the Mtbject of
Uncle Kobcrfs deafness to become
known to him; some pcopl
young people especially might
have shunned him, but they were not
so inconsiderate. They knew that he
couldn't help his deafness, and that he
wan of a sensitive nature, besides lie
ing a man possessed of a large amount
of property, real and personal; there
fore, as they were a kindly family, they
bore gently and tenderly with his in
flrmity. Nevertheless, it was not only
hard on the voice, but it taxed the in
xentive faculties to considerable cx
tent. Matters of a personal and vri-
vate nature were sometimes discussed
In the lamily circle, and it was too
much to expect that they should be
shouted so as to be perfectly audible
to the people in the next flat, t'n such
a case the person required to stunt was
compelled to substitute remarks in the
Philippine situation or the prllts of
plumbing material or some other topic
of a universal sort.
Again, It was awkward bci'ore
trangers. Mr. Wills Is not exactly a
stranger, as he
calls regu 1 arly
three times In the
week, and drops in
casually on the
other four. He is
a friend of Tom's,
and takes a great
deal of pleasure in
the society of Mr.
and Mrs. Daring.
About a week ago
he happened to be
talking to Laura,
and Uncle Kobert,
Mr. IlarlBgr.
who was sitting quite near them, sud
denly laid down his newspaper, and,
hitching his chair around, looked at
Mr. Wills with an Inquiring smile,
"Hay!" he said; "what was that?"
Mr. Wills blushed a rosy red, and
looked very much disconcerted.
"I I er I was saying" he began.
"You'll have to speak a little louder,"
said Uncle Kobert. "I'm rather hard of
hearing. What was It you said?"
Mr. Wills hesitated and smiled in an
idiotic fashion at Laura, while his blush
grew deeper and extended to the tops
of his rather large ears and the rlni of
,hls shiny collar. At this juncture
Laura spoke with great coolness and
self-possession.
"Mr. Wills was saying that he no
tices a great improvement In tho street
since they took up the old cedar blocks
and put down asphalt. He thinks It
would be a great Improvement If they
were to grade Corliss street and put
down asphalt there, but he supposes
the property-holders on the east side
of the street would object."
Then he added, in nn undertono lit
tle above the ordinary conversation
pitch: "Why in
thunder couldn't
he say so him
self?" and re
sumed his iicws

chairs as she went, and her mother
hurried after her. Mr. Haring drew
up his chair closer to Uncle Hobcrt.

AFTER WATERLOO.
rraaslan Soldlera Were Seen Scrap
ing and Slftlnar the Ground
for Diamonds.
On ascending to the top of the emi
nence we came upon the French guns
scattered in various directions, evi
dently in the way of being dragged to
the Chaussce from different positions.
This attempt had failed, owing to the
muddy state of the plowed land and
the rapidity of our advance, which
obliges tiic drivers of the gun carriages
to flee for their Uvea by cuttinr the
horses' traces. I -perceive that softie of
the guns had enjraved on them Kpnl
Ite, Kraternite, ard other the letter
"X;" many of the guns had the num
ber of the Kngllsh regiments which
had captured them chalked on them
a mode usually adopted in the pen
insula. The carrioges were sunk in
the ground almost to the axle trees.
As we proceeded we fell In with the
1'russian columns coming up from our
left, marching to join their army. They
began to plunder the biscuit convoy
most unceremoniously, and I had grent
diftlculty in preventing It. Perceiving
some troops to our right, I rode up to
them and found they were n part of our
division the Twenty-second regiment
commanded by Sir John Colhorno
(now Lord Seaton), moving ucross the
country toward Nitclies. I uppllrti to
him for a guard to protect the con
voy, but he refused it with some un
meaning excuse, und I was therefore
left to my own resources to get out of
the diftlculty as well bb I could.
The Prussians kept moving br us oc
casionally, and I would most certainly
have been plundered by them of the
best portion of the biscuit had it not
been for the opportune arrival of a de
tachment of our German cavalry (the
King s tiermnn legion). 1 he command
ing officer, seeing my dilemma, im
mediately offered some of his men to
draw their swords and accompany the
convoy, mid thus we moved on to
Quatre Ilras through Gcnappe. I there
beheld, in addition to many oilier
debris of the French army, Napoleon s
carriage on the Bpot win re it hud been
overtaken and pltindend. Around It
were Prussian soldiers scraping and
sifting the ground, in consequence of
a report that some diamonds had fallen

I. Cleansing from Past Sin. V. 21.
In the previous verses t lie prophet pic
turcs tJie corruption and idolatry which
dt llled the people, nutl the punishment
which wns indicted by Uod on account
uf it; t lien t lie promise of return, fur
the sake of Ills kingdom. "Then;"
When the time shall conic for liod to re
store Israel to their own land (v. :t).
"Will 1:" God is speaking. "Sprinkle
clean walcr upon jou:" The concei
tion of cleansing by sprinkling clean
water comes from tlio Mosaic ceremo
nial system. (Sec especially Num.
111:17-11), nnd nlso Psa. 51:7.) Cow les.
(Also lleb. i:13,ll.) New Testament
Light. Cleansing from sin is absolute
ly essential to the salvation of the linll
tidttnl nod of the nation. God saves not
in sin, but from sin (Itotn. J: II; I. Cor.
3:17; C:9; Itev. 21:27). (1) We lire
cleansed from the guilt of ln by for
giveness Col.. 1:14; Tit. 2:14; Itom.

of stu (.John 3:10; Horn. 5:9); (3; from
the love of sin, by the new heart re
ferred to In V. 20.
IL The New Heart. V. 20. "Anew
heart also will 1 give jou:" The heart
is the center of life to the body; It
sends the life-blood to cery part; If
it Is weak or Imperfect the whole body
Is weak nnd sickly. "A new spirit:" A
new tiiothc. new principle of action, a
new love. "And I will take away the
stony heart:" The heart of sin Is
t-nlled stony, like a rock. New Testa
ment Light. This is the great doctrine
of the New Testament, taught forcibly
by our Lord Himself in Ilh statement
respecting the new birth (John 3:3-S),
and evcrj where presented as preemi
nently the work of the Spirit of (JimI.
III. The New Life. V. 27. "I will
put my Spirit within you:" This Is the
gift of the Holy Spirit, promised by
Joel (2:2S). "Keep My judgments:"
His laws. His decisions, ns to what was
right.
IV. Motives for Choosing the New
Life. Vs. 23-30. First Mothe: A
Promise of Ilestoration. V. 29. "And
jc shall dwell In the land:" They shall
be restored to their own land.
Second Motive: Deliverance from
Sin. V. 29. "I will also save you from
all your tincleannesses:" The outward
blessings promised could not continue
unless they should first be saved from
sin.
Third Motive: A Promise of Prosper
ity and Plenty (vs. 29, 30). "I will call
for the corn" (grain): God ns the
owner of the earth and controller of
nil Its forces, will summon them to sup
ply the grain needed for their support.
V. 30. "And I will multiply the fruit ol
the tree:" There shall be plenty of
food. "No more reproach of famine:"
The heathen seem to have reproached
the Israelites with hating a God who
would allow them to suffer hunger.
The heathen did not understand the
reason. (Sec v. 13.)
Fourth Motive: A Nuture Kenned,
Purified. F.nnobled (vs 31, 32)). V.31.
"Then slinll ve remember jour own evil
ways . . . and slinll loathe your
sclics:" When they see their own
sins In contrast with God's goodness,
then they will rcnlie how mean nnd
disgraceful tlielr sins were. V. 32. And,
lest the goodness of God In restoring
them should lessen their feeling as to
their own character, God lelM them:
"No for your sake do 1 tills." They
did not deserve it. .
Fifth Motive: A Promise for Their
Country. Patriotism (vs. .13-33). V. 33.
"In the day that I shnll have cleansed
you:" They must never forge' that
tills wat the necessary condition of
salvation. V. 35. 'This land that wns
desolate Is to become like the garden
of Fden:" In these verses the tem
poral slde(so to speak) of these verses
stands forth prominently. This
prophecy Is being fulfilled In every
Christian community, ns far as It Is
Christian; but Its complete fulfillment
will bo In the renewed nnd restored
earth, when, sin being removed, and
God dwelling with men, the beauty nnd
glory of paradise slinll be restored (see
Iter. 21 and 22).
Sixth Motive. V. 30. "Then the
heathen... slinll know:" The Jews
ihould not only be blessed themselves,
but become n missionary people, mak
ing known the true God to the sur
rounding nations.

The editor of the Concordia Kansan
tells cf a temperance lrture gitcn by
Judge Sturgls while deciding n dlwirce

liii1ind'H habitual drutikeficso.
The objection raised by the defend
ant wns that the record of the divorce
would dl'graee him. To this the Judge
replied by saving that all of the court
records or nil the newspapers In The
world could not oslhly udd to the
disgrace alrendy h.nM-d on tho man by
his own net of getting drunk. Con
tinuing, the jutlge Mild: "He claims his
financial misfortunes hate led him to

a man to get drunk. There l no ex
cuse for drunkenness. If rcterses or

brought nbout this condition of things
in this family, nnd it ionthcrgrutinds
the ditorcc is asked for noil on which It

"This man claims he has iiit drink

keep steadfast in his determination to
abstain from it. When this man t

he is drunk he U not, neither is not

man, with a while licit rd, wlvrt glanced
nrrtously around muttering to him
self: "ics, I come all the viay from

"Wluit Is the charge?"
"Drunk on the steps of O'Flanlgnn's

At tills the old man straightened
himself up and addressed the jiitlgei

"That l the charge."
"Jmle, 1 ain't netrr been drunk in

"Well, if you were not drunk, Iuivt
did you come to be lying where they
found you at O'Flsnlgan's saloon'.'"
At the reference again made to the

He stuped fora second and then broke
In with the old wail:

"When the man went Into the saloon,

"Neter mind, old man, you shall have
