No Flowers In Greonlnnff. The theory that the interior of Greenland contained eoenery whjoh would juatify the singular name of the country has st last been exploded by Baron Nordonskjold’a exploration. Ho found none of the grass, or trees, or flowers, for which he looked—nothing but ice in every direction, and no variety in the landscape except what was caused by crevasses. The reason why there is no open country to be found is, he says, that there is a steady rise from the coast to a high table land in the mountains, with a medial depression such as he looked for. In short, the grassy, flowery Greenland is certainly m fabulous as “the open polar sea,” where the water is kept reasonably warm for the accommodation of explorers who make their way through the hundreds of miles of surrounding ice, probably is.— Chicano Tribune.

DIL TALMAGE’S SERMON. MANUFACTURING IN TOWNS OF MIDDLE ENGLAND. file Seraph Covered His Face When He Approached the Throne ot God—This Seems to He an Age of IrreverenceFools Make a Mock of Sin. The Seraph Wings. During the past week Dr. Talmage has boen preaching to enormous audiences in the groat manufacturing towns ot the English midland counties. In Birmingham, In spite of the great size of the churches placed at his disposal, It was necessary to engage the town hall, the spacious building in which John Bright delivered his famous speeches to the electors, and oven this edifice would not contain halt the people who tried to got entrance. At Leicester, Cardiff and Swansea there was the same eagerness to hear him and he was received with unbounded enthusiasm. The sermon selected for publication this week Ison Isaiah vi, 2. "With twain he covered his face, with twain ho covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.” In a hospital of loprosy good King Uzzlah had died and the whole land was shadowed with solemnity, and theological and prophetic Isaiah was thinking about religious things, as one Is apt to do in time of great national bereavement, and forgetting the presence of his wife and two sons, who made up his family, he has a dream, not like the dreams of ordinary character which generally come from indigestion, but a vision most instructive and under the touch of the hand of the Almighty. The place, the ancient temple; building, ’grand, awful, majestic. Within that temple a throne higher and grander than that occupied by any czar or sultan or emperor. On that throne, the eternal Christ In lines surrounding that throne the brightest celestials, not the cherubim, but higher than they; the most exquisite and radient of the heavenly Inhabitants, the seraphim. They are called burners, because they look like fire. Lips of fire, eyes of fire, feet of fire. In addition to the features and the limbs which suggest a human being there are pinions which suggest the llthest, the swiftest, the most buoyant and most inspiring of all intelligent creation —a bird. Each seraph had six wings, each two ot the wings tor a different purpose. Isaiah's dream quivers ana flashes with these pinions. Now folded, now spread, now beaten in locomotion. "With twain he covered his feet, with twain he covered his face, and with twain he did fly.” The probability is that these wings were not all used at once. The seraph standing there near the throne, overwhelmed at the insignificance of the paths his feet had trodden as compared with the paths trodden by the feet of God, and with the lameness of his locomotion, amounting almost to decrepitude as compared with the divine velocity, with feathery veil of angelic modesty hides the feet. “With twain He did cover the feet.” Standing there overpowered by the over-matching splendors of God’s glory, and unable longer with the eyes to look upon them, and wishing those eyes shaded from the insufferable glory, the pinions gather over the countenance. "With twain He did cover the face.” Then as God tells this seraph to go to the farthest outpost of immensity on message of light and love and Joy, and get back before the first anthem, it does not take the seraph a great while to spread himself upon the air with unimaglned celerity, one stroke of the wing equal to 10,000 leagues of air. “With twain he did fly.” The most practical and useful lesson for you and me, when we see the seraph spreading his wings over the feet, is a lesson of humility at imperfection. The brightest angels of God are so far beneath God that He charges them with folly. The seraph so far beneath God, and wo so far beneath the seraph in service, we ought to bo plunged in humility, utter and complete. Our feet, how laggard they have been in the divine service! Our feet, how many missteps they have taken! Our feet, in how many paths of worldliness and folly they have walked! Neither God nor seraph intended to put ariy dishonor upon that which is one of the masterpieces of Almighty God—the human foot Physiologist and anatomist are over-whelmed at the wonders of its organization. The "Bridgewater Treatise,” written by Sir Charles Bell, on the wisdom and goodness of God as illustrated in the human hand, was a result of the $40,000 bequeathed In the last will and testament of the Earl of Bridgewater for the encouragement of Christian literature. The world could afford to forgive his eccentricities, though he had two dogs seated at his table, and though he put six dogs alone in an equipage drawn by four horses and attended by two footmen. With his large bequest inducing Sir Charles Bell to write so valuable a book on the wisdom of God in the structure of the human hand, the world could afford to forgive his oddities. And the world could now afford to have another Earl of Bridgewater, however idiosyncratic, if he would Induce some other bir Charles Bell to Write a boefk on the wisdom and goodness of God in the construction of the human foot The articulation of its bones, the lubrication of its joints, the gracefulness of its lines, the ingenuity of its cartilages, the delicacy of Its veins, the rapidity of its muscular contraction, the sensitiveness of its nerves. 1 sound the praise of the human foot With that wo halt or climb or march. It is the foundation of the physical fabric. It is the base of a God poised column. With it the warrior braces himself for battle. With it the orator plants himself for eulogium. With it the toller reaches his work. With it the outraged stamps his indignation. Its loss an irreparable disaster. Its health an invaluable equipment If you want to Know its value ask the man whoso foot paralysis hath shriveled, or machinery hath crushed, or surgeon’s knife hath amputated. The Bible honors is. Especial care, “Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone;” "Ho will not suffer thy foot to bo moved;” "thy feet shall not stumble.” Especial charge, "Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God.” Especial peril, "Their feet shall slide in duo time.” Connected with the world's dissolution, "Ho shall sot one foot on the sea and the other upon the earth.” Give me the history of your foot, and I will give you a history of your lifetime. Tell me up what stepsit hath gone,down what declivities and in wliat„roads and in what directions, and I will know more about you than I want to know. None of us could endure the scrutiny. Our feet not always In paths of God. Sometimes in paths of woridinoss. Our feet, a divine and glorious machinery for usefulness and work, so often making missteps, so often going in the wrong direction. God knowing every step, the patriarch saying: "Thou sottest a print on the henls of my feet,” Crimes of the hand, crlmbsof the tongue, crimes of the eye, crimes of the ear not :orse than crimes of the foot. Oh, we ant the wings of humility to cover the feet! Ought we not to so into self-abne-gation before the all-searching, all•orutlnlxlng, all-trying eye of God? The

seraphs do. How much wore we. "With twain ho covered the foot.” All this talk about the dignity of human nature Is braggadocio and a sin. Our nature started at the hand of God regal, but It has been pauperized. There Isa well in Belgium which once had very pure water, and it was stoutly masoned with stone and brick, but that well afterward became the centre of the battle of Waterloo. At the opening of the battle the soldiers with their sabers compelled the gardner, William Von Kylsom, to draw water out of the well for them, and It was very pure water. But the battle raged, and three hundred dead and half dead were flung into the well for quick and easy burial, so that the well of refreshment became the well of death, and long after people lookoddow:j into the well and they saw the bleached skulls, but no water. Ho the human soul was a well of good, but the armies of sin have fought around it and fought across it and been slain, and it has become a well of skeletons. Dead hopes, dead resolutions, dead opportunities, dead ambitions. An abandoned well unless Christ shall reopen it and purify and clean it as the well of Belgium never was. Unclean, unclean! Another seraphic posture in the text, "With twain He covered the face.” That moans reverence Godward. Never so much irreverence abroad in the world as to-day. You see it in defaced statuary, in the cutting out of figures from fine paintings, in the chipping ot monuments for a memento, in the fact that military guard must stand at the graves of Grant and Garfield, and that old shade trees must be cut down for firewood, though fifty George P. Morrises beg the woodmen to spare the tree, and that cal Is a corpse a cadaver, and that speaks of death as going over to the majority, and substitutes for the reverent terms, father and mother, “the old man” and “old woman,” and finds nothing impressive in the ruins of Baalbec or the columns of Karnac, and sees no difference in the Sabcath from other days except it allows more dissipation, and reads the Bible in what is called higher criticism, making it not the Word of God, but a good book with some fine things in it. Irreverence never so much abroad. How many take the name, of God in vain, how many trivial things said about the Almighty! Not willing to have God in the world, they roll up an idea of sentimentality and humanitarianism and impudence and imbecility, and call it God. No wings of reverence over the face, no taking off of shoes on holy ground. You can tell from the way they talk they could have made a better world than this, and that the God of the Bible shocks every sense of propriety. They talk of the love of God in away that shows vou they believe it does not make any difference how bad a man is here he will come in at the shining gate. They talk of the love of God in such away which shows you they think it is a general jail delivery for all the abandoned and the scoundrelism of the universe. No punishment hereafter for any wrong done here. The Bible gives us two descriptions of God, and they are just opposite,and they are both true. In one place the Bible says God is love. In another place the Bible says God is a consuming fire. The explanation is plain as plain can be. God through Christ is love. God out of Christ is fire. To win the one and to escape the other we have onl# to throw ourselves—body, mind and soul—into Christ’s keeping. “No,” says Irreverence, “I want no atonement, I want no pardon, I want no intervention; I will go up and face God, and I will challenge Him, and I will defy Him, and I will ask Him what He wants to do with me.” So the finite confronts the infinite, so a tack hammer tries to break a thunderbolt, so the breath of human nostrils defies the everlasting God, while the hierarchs of heaven bow the head and bend the knee as the King’s chariot goes by, and the arch-angel turns away because he cannot endure the splendor, and the chorus of all the empires of heaven comes in with full diapason, "Holy, holy, holy!” Reverence for sham, reverence for the old merely because it is old. reverence for stupidity however learned, reverence for incapacity however finely inaugurated; I have none. But we want more reverence for God, more reverence for the sacraments, more reverence for the Bible, more reverence for the pure, more reverence for the good. Reverence a characteristic of all great natures. You hear it in the roll of the master oratorios. You see it in the Raphaels and Titians and Ghirlandijos. You study it in the architecture of the Aholiabs and Christopher Wrens. Do not be flippant about God. Do not joke about death. Do not make fun of the Bible. Do not deride the eternal. The brightest and mightiest seraph cannot look unabashed upon him. Involuntarily the wings come up. “With twain ho covered his face.” Who is this God before whom the arrogant and intractable refuse reverence? There was an engineer of the name of Stftisicrates who was in the employ ot Alexander the Great, and he offered to hew a moufitain in the shape of his master, the Emperor, the enormous figure to hold in the left hand a city of ten thousand inhabitants, while with the right hand it was to hold a basin large enough to collect all the mountain torrents. Alexander applauded him for his ingenuity, but forbade the enterprise because of its costliness. Yet I have to tell you that our King holds in one hand all the cities of the earth and all the oceans, while he has the stars of Heaven for his tiara. Earthly power goes from hand to hand — from Henry I to Henry II and Henry 111, irom Charles I to Charles 11, from Louis I to Louis II and Louis lll—but from everlasting to everlasting is God. God the first, God the last, God the only. He has one telescope with which He sees everything — His omniscience. He has one bridge with which He crosses everything — His omnipresence. He has one hammer with which He builds everything—His omnipotence. Put two tablespoonfuls of water in the palnrbf your hand and it will overflow; but Isaiah indicates that God puts the Atlantic, and the Pacific, and the Arctic, and the Antarctic, and the Mediterranean, and the Black sea, and all the waters of the earth in the hollow of His hand. The fingers the beach on one side, the wrist the beach on the other. "He holdoth the water in the hollow oi His hand.” As you take a pinch of salt or powder between your thumb and two fingers, so Isaiah indicates God takes up the earth. He measures the dust of the earth, the original there indicating that God takes all the dust of al! the continents between the thi.itnb and two fingers. You wrap around your hand a blue ribbon five times,...ten times. You say it is five hand breadths, or it is ten hand breadths. So indicates the prophet,God winds the blue ribbon of the sky around his hand. “Ho meteth out the heavens sp>n.” You know that balances are m>do of a beam suspended in the midd.e with two basins at the extremity of equal heft. In that way what vast hbft has been weighed! But what are all the balaacos of earthly manipulation compared with the balances that Isaiah saw suspended when ho saw God putting into the scales the Alps, and the Apennines, and Mount Washington, and the Sierra Novadss? You see the earth had to be ballasted. It would not do to have too much weight in Europe, or too much weight in Asia, or too much weight in Africa- or in America; so when God made the. mountains He weighed them. The Bible distinctly says so.

God knows the weight of the groat ranges that cross tho continents—the tons, the pounds avoirdupois, the ounces, the grains, the milligrams—Just how much they weighed then and just how mueb they weigh now. "He weighed the mountains In scales and the hills in a balance.” Oh, what a God to run against; oh, what a God to disobey; oh, whivt a God to dishonor; oh, what a God to defy! The brightest., tbe mightiest angel takes no familiarity with God. The wings of reverence are lifted. "With twain he covered the face.” Another seraphic posture in the text The seraph must not always stand still. He must move, and it niust be without clumsiness. There must bo celerity and beauty in the movement. "With twain lv) did fly." Correction, exhilaration. Correction at our slow gait, for we only crawl id the aervlce when wo ought to fly at the divine bidding. Exhilaration in the fact that the soul lias wings as the seraphs have wings. What is a wing? An Instrument of locomotion. They may not be like sqraph's wing, they mny not bo like bird » wing, but the soul has wings. God>saysso. "He shall mount up on wings aseazles.” We are made In the divine Image, and God lias wings. The Bible says so. "Healing in His wings.” "Under the shadow of His wings.” "Under whose wings thou hast come to trust” We have iolded wing now, wounded wing, broken wing, bleeding wing, caged wing. Aye! I have it now. Caged within bars of bone and under curtains of flesh, but one day to be free. I hear the rustle of pinions in Seagrave’s poem which wo often sing: Rise, toy soul, and stretch thy wings. I hear the rustle of pinions in Alexander Pope’s stanza, which says: I eflount, I fly, O Death, where is thy victory ? A dying Christian long ago cried out, "Wings, wings, wings!” The air is full of them, coming and going, coming and going. You have seen how the dull, sluggish chrysalid becomes the bright butterfly; the dull and the stupid and tbe lethargic turn into the alert and the beautiful. Well, my friends, in this world we are in a chrysalid state. Death will unfurl the wings. Oh, if we could only realize what a grand thing it will be to get rid of this old clod of the body and mount tbe heavens, neither seagull nor lark nor albatross nor falcon nor condor pitching from highest range of Andes so buoyant or so majestic of stroke. See that eagle in the mountain nest. It looks so sick, so ragged feathered, so worn out and so half asleep. Is that eagle dying? No. The ornithologist will tel) you it is molting season with that bird. Not dying, but molting. You see that Christian sick and weary and worn out and seeming about to expire on what is called his deathbed. The world says be is dying. Isay it is the moiling season tor his soul —the body dropping away, the celestial pinions coming on. Not dying, but molting. Molting out of darkness and sin and struggle into glory and into God. Why do vou not shout? Why do you sit shivering at the thought of death and trying to hold back and wishing you could stay here forever, and speak of departure as though the subject were filled With skeletons and the varnish of coffins, and as though you preferred lame foot to swift wing? O people of God, let us stop playing the fool and prepare forrapturous flight. When your soul stands on the verge of this life, and there are vast precipices beneath, and sapphired domes above, which way will you fly? Will you swoop or will you soar? Will you fly downward or will you fly upward? Everything on tbe wing this morning bidding us aspire. Holy Spirit on the wing. Angel of the new covenant on the wing. Time on the wing, flying away from us. Eternity on the wing, flying toward us. Wings, wings, wings! Live so near to Christ that when you are dead people standing bv your lifeless body will not soliloquize, saying. "What a disappointment life was to him; how averse he was to departure; what a pity it was he had to die; what an awful calamity!” Rather standing there may they see a sign more vivid on your still face than the vestiges of pain,something that will indicate that it was a happy exit — the clearance from oppressive quarantine, the castoff chrysalid, the molting of the faded and useless, and the ascent from malarial valleys to bright, Shining mountain tops, and be Jed to say, as they stand there contemplating your humility and your reverence in life and your happiness in death, "With twain He covered the feet, with twain He Covered the face, and with twain b» did fly.” Wings! Wings! Wings! Marrying a Canadian 1 Feasant. The chief social event of their lives is a wedding—almost the only set oecasison of festivities. The priest then permits dancing among relatives and allows unusual expenses to be incurred. Courtship is very short and circumspect. It generally lasts but a few months. Engagements are made very much after the pecuniary interests followed in France, and the marriages generally occur at from eighteen to twenty-two years of age. A widower of this place recently went to spend the evening with a neighbor, whose sister was an old maid whom no one had thought of marrying. When he left the house her brother suggested that he should marry her. They returned to the house, and went together to her bed, in one corndr of the room, and woke her up. Holding the candle up to his face, he said: Mlle. G , take a good look at me; I’m rather worse than I seem by candlelight, and I’ve nine small children, and not a great deal of land. Will you marry me?” She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, looked him over a moment, and said, “Yes.” “Then be ready next Tuesday” In another case, the day after the banns of morriace had been published here, the intended found his betrothed crying bv the window. “What’s the matter, Maria?” “Well, Baptist, my sister Louise wants very much to marry, because she’s older and it’s her turn first. And it makes me sad to see her disappointed. Now, & you would only marry her! Everything is ready, you know, and it would be such a relief?-— “Well, well, don’t cry about that,” said he, with a moment’s surprise. “I don’t mind if I do. Go and tell her tz get readv.— Harpers Drawer. Destroying Canuiballsiri. “Fifty years ago,” said Earl Cairns, at a meeting of the Church Missionary Society, “if a man had been shipwrecked on some of the islands of the Pacific, he would have been killed, cooked, and eateu; whereas, if a man were shipwrecked there now, he would receive Christian hospitality. Miss Gordon Cumming, who is not a missionary! and w’ho did not write for the purpose Os crying up missions, declared that, while in 1835 the people of Fiji were cannibals, there are now 400 churches and 1,400 schools there. Lady Brassey writes that anybody who wants to see the last traces of heathenism in Japan had better go soon, as they are rapidly giving place to Ohriathnf'r.

The Cathedral of Chihuahua. The Cathedral City, os this fltoto Capital is named, has very little of conspicuous intera-t unosHOeiated with yonder great piece of architecture, which has no equal in architectural view on the Western Hemisphere. It has its history. That history is associated with the Santa Eulalia mine, which up to 1829, or the date of the expulsion of tlie Spaniards from Mexico, has yielded (275,(XX),000. The grand cathedral was constructed by a tux forced on the mine of one real, or twelve and onehalf cents, oyt of each marc, or every SB, by order of the Royal Government of Spain. The edifice cost $1,000,000. Doubtless another $250,000 was contributed by the people in labor and material. It would require $3,500,000 to erect it in our time. The corner stone was laid in 1725. Architecturally, the grand cathedral stands peerless, as far as magnificently symmetrical proportions are regarded in America. The great cathedral of the City of Mexico covers more ground. Still, in design, attractions of harmonious blending of these schools of architecture, it is a blunt and bunglihg and unsightly piece of work cbmpared with this masterpiece of Cristoval de Villa. He passed more than half his business life constructing this great church. The design is the tripartite schools of Borinthian, Doric and lonic. The rear or great dome end, which faces the west, has a width of 1334 feet. The front on the grand plaza, crowned by the twin towers, has a width of eightyfive feet. The audience capacity of the large auditorium is 6,000 people. The principal or front facade is elaborate in the Doric school of architecture. It is faced with elaborately carved columns, interspersed among which are the statues of the twelve apostles and San Francisco de Azis, patron of the structure.— Chihuahua Correspondence. Seward’s “Nerves of Steel.” The following letter, dated Washington January 2, 1862, is taken from Thurlow Weed’s biography: My Dear Wked —ls I had not nerves of steel I should give up my place and let some less offending man take it up. They say I sent John Brown to Virginia to raise a slave insurrection. Everybody waits for me to prove that I did not. They charge me with "compromising.” The press call upon me to prove that I am net guilty. They charge me with gross vices. Friends ask, can it be so bad ? and call upon me for refutations. They say I want war with England. Immediately I must prove that I love England better than our own country. The Duke of Newcastle, forgetful of the amenities of a dinner, gives the press a story about insulting the Prince of Wales and his whole party, and I must immediately go into a defense. Now, either I have character enough for sense and decency to live through 1 eilly falsehoods,-like these, caused by hatred of our country and her cause, or I have not. If I have not, I ought to be compelled at once to relinquish a place which some other can fill better. I had prepared a note to the of Newcastle, but have thrown it into the fire.

How a Town Was Named. That thriving settlement, Tipperusalem City, Ok., has a curious name and an even more curious history. Tipperusalcm was founded last year by Timothy P. Gradv and Col. H. M. Kaufmann,upon whose holdings it was built Now Mr. "Tim” Grady is a steadfast Irishman, while Col. Kaufmann is proud of an ancestry which followed Moses to tbe Promised Ldtnd. Mr. Grady wanted to call the new city after his old home—-Tippe-rary. Col. Kaufman was equally anxious to name it Jerusalem. A squabble resulted, and for a time it seemed as though the town was going to be divided into two distinct municipalities. Finally,however,a settlement was effected. Young Pat Grady fell in love with Rebecca Kaufmann, and through their interference the old men shook hands and agreed to compromise matters by calling the place “Tipperusalem.” Thus it will remain until some fool-ordinance people come along and change it. — Brandon Bucksaw.
