from the north and from the south, and shall testif t that the life which we thought wai fruitless abounded in all the fruits of the spirit. Let us cheer ourselves with these words. Let us driuk of this well by the way, and lift up our hands and be triad. The best testimony we can (rive to the influence of the dead is to continue and extend the work in which they deliebted whilst they were yet with us. There is to be no more gazine upon the beaten. There are to be no fruities tears. In crying for the absent we mar in reality be indulging our own selfishness. There is a sorrow that is not divine, and, therefore, not useful. The Lord is a risen Lord, and we should know the power of His resurrection in such a decree as will enable us to feel that they who are dad In Christ are alive in Ilira evermore. The Lord himself said, "All power is eiven unto Me in Heaven and in earth. Go ye. therefore, and teach." Mark tnat word "therefore." It indicates a point in an argument; and it is

because we are risen in Christ, Because ire have overcome the sharpness of death and the darkness of the crave that we are bound to go forth and teach wheraver opportunity occurs. We are to speak tight, to offer comfort, to release captivity, to bring morning, to shine upon the abode of ploom. If any man says he mourns the dead so deeply that he can do nothing for the living, he is disbonorine the dead whom he never understood. and blighting the flowers which he pretends to preserve. When we mourn our sainted dead it la our infirmitv that mourns: our faith rejoices. nr hone sines. our love keeps blessed festival, for we say - that they shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more, neither shall the sun light on them, nor anv heat When we think of their joys we forget our sorrows, and call upon all men to praise tne Lord for His goodness in giving rest to His weary ones. "Praise Ilira with the sound of he trumpet; praice Him with the psaltery and harp; praise Him with the timbrel and lance; praise Him with stringed instruments; f raise Him upon the loud cymbals: praise Him jpon the high-soundinsr cymbals." for he bath opened the doors of heaven and made them glad who knew once the bitterness of infinite truth. With Dr. Parker In the pulpit waa Dr. Reecher's former helper and the present acting pastor, R v. W. C. B. Halliday, D. D. The shurch was never more crowded. Had it been twice as large it would have been filled. The people were formed in line in the street by policemen, and admitted only as fast as the 2her conld sat thera In the pastor's pew, Io. 91, were Mrs. Beecher and Mrs. Parker. The evening sermon was from Acts x, C: "He lodgeth with one Simon, a tanner, whose houoe ia bv the seaside." Dr. Parker said this was the Bible in a sentence. He said the subject of the sentence was Simon Peter, and showed that Simon, the tanner, belonged to a despised class, who were compelled to live apart. What had brought the proud Jew to lodge with such a man? Naught but the grace of Ood conld do it. The oratory of Dr. Parker is simple and unaffected. As a rule, the opinions of his hearers were favorable to him, and it was predicted by some that a call would be extended to him by the church. Dr. Parker has declined to state whether be would or would not accept a call. LABOR INTERESTS. A General Strike of Miners In tlie Springfield District Expected. Springfield. I1L, Oct. 2.

CURRENT LITERATURE.

"Our Hundred Days in Europe" is the record of Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes's second trip to Europe, made after an interval of more than fifty years from the first one. This trip was made in the summer of 1886. He calls it "our trip because he was accompanied by his daugh ter, whose diary, he says, be makes free use of. It is written in the author's own deiightf nl style, aud, barring some tendency to garrulity and personal confidences, a sign of age. is an inter esting book. But Dr. Holmes as well as others would do well to remember that an author who has made a great reputation in his prime should beware of writing too much after he has entered the period of decadence. Cloth. $1.50. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. Indiaaapolsi: The Bowen-Merriil Company. "A Memoir of Ralph Waldo Emerson," by J ames Elliott Cabot, is a very complete and interest ing biography of the Concord philosopher. The author defines the pnrpose of the work to be to give the readers and friends of Emerson some further illustrations, some details of his outward and inward history that may fill out and define more closely the image of him they already have, rather than introduce him tostrangers. The auther was Mr. Emerson's literary executor, and this work was prepared at the desire of the family. It follows that he had access to all available material, including unpublished writings, private letters, etc. The result is a very complete picture of Mr. Emerson, both in his relation to literatnre and in his personal and family relations. The hitherto unpublished letters form an interesting feature of the work, which is in two handsome volumes, the first embellished with a fine engraving of Mr. Emerson. Cloth, gilt tops, $3.50 a set Boston: Houehton, Mifflin & Co. Indianapolis: The Bo wen-Merrill Company. "A Collection of Letters of Thackeray" would, under any circumstances, be an interesting addition to literary history. Tbe volume issued under this title is peculiarly so. The letters cover the period from 1847 to 1855. They were written in tbe fullest freedom of personal friendship, and present a charming picture of tbe great novelist's personal characteristics. There are also fac-similes of many letters and numerous drawings by Thackeray's own hand, with a noble portrait of tbe author. Readers and admirers of Thackeray's novels who wish to know Thackeray the man, will study this collection of his letters with delight The work is issued in elegant style, printed on thick, heavy paper, with gilt edges and illuminated cover. Price, $2.50. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. The last of the four volumes of his edition of Irving's Life of Washington has been issued by John B. Alden, New York. A need for an inexpensive edition of this work has long been felt, and these low-priced but well-printed and neatly-bound volumes will undoubtedly meet the demand. It is somewhat singular that notwithstanding the great popular interest attaching to the name of Patrick Henry, he has hitherto been the subject of but one memoir founded on original investigation, viz.: his life by William Wirt That was written in 1817. A new and far more satisfactory "Life of Patrick Henry" is now published by Houghton. Mifflin & Co., in their American Statesmen series. It is by Moses Coit Tyler, who has made a careful study of the subject, introducing much new material, and illustrating it with correspondence, contemporaneous history, etc. This work will undoubtedly rank hereafter as the best, most authentic and most complete Life of Patrick Henry. Cloth, gilt tops, price $L 25. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. Those who have read Elizabeth Stuart Phelps's interesting and thoughtful books, "The Gates Ajar," and "Beyond the Gates," will be glad to welcome another from the same author, "The Gates Between." Written in the form of a narrative, with characters and plot, it really conveys a very high religious lesson. Cloth, $1.25. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin "& Co.; Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. "Well-worn Roads Traveled by a Painter in Search of the Picturesque." by F. Hopkinson Smith, is a record of a rambling, tramping and sketching trip through parts of Spain, Holland and Italy. It is a record of idle days spent in visiting odd places and quaint works, and along well-worn roads of travel. Fancy cloth, gilt tops; price. $1.25. Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Co. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. The Ideal Edition of Shakspeare, published by John B. Alden, New York, is concluded by the issue of volumes 10, 11 and 12. It is a remarkably cheap edition, convenient to handle and easy to read. "The Making of the Great West," by Samuel Adams Drake, is a condensed history of the leading events and salient incidents connected with the discovery, settlement, development and growth of the great West The book contains a variety of interesting information, presented in good form, and in a style calculated to interest either young or more mature readers. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. "Two Years In Europe," by Prof. Rodney Glisan, M. D., is the old story by a new band. The author was a member of tbe council of the Ninth International Medical Congress, held in London in 1831, and he expanded his trip into a two years' stay in Europe. The record of his travels and observations contains little that is new or striking, but ic is the record of an intelligent and active observer, and related in a dear and pleasing style. It is a large and handsome volume, price $2.50. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. Indianapolis. The Bowen-Merriil Company. Volume No. 39, in tbe Questions of the Day Series, is entitled "Federal Taxes and State Expenses, or the decay of separate State power of exciso under the Federal Constitution, and the compensation therein provided for it; and the relation of tbe general civil administration under separate State authority to the general welfare of the United States under the federal autonomy." by William H. Jones, of Ft Wayne, Ind. It is a carefully considered treatise on tbe subject embraced in tbe title, and van be read with profit by all who are interested in such, whether tbev agree with the author's conclusions or not. Price $1.00. New York: G. P. Pntnam's Sons. Indianapolis: The Bowen-Merriil Company. Fancy Work for Christmas. Chicago News. Squares of scrim, with threads pulled oat one way the required width and made to form a square, while within this space run narrow ribbons of two shades of the same color, or of contrasting colors, and this makes the daintiest of pin-cushion covers. The edge is either raveled for fringe or hemmed and trimmed with narrow torchon lace. Tbe ends of ribbon overlap each other at the corners, and are plaited in and out and fastened by a few stitches. These ribbons are easily removed when laundered. For tbe cushion part it is prettier to make two small square cushions of bright-colored pongee or silk, and fasten one corner of each together, diamond-shape, when made. Cotton linens and cottons that will wash are pretty for outline work on wash-goods, now that all kinds of bags are used, one can easily make several if begun in time, laundry bags of brown linen outlined in designs or apDrcpriate mottoes, fancy silk bags outlined in silks and trimmed with gay riboons, bags of ticking covered withnarrow velvet ribbon on the blue stripes, and the white covered with feather stitching in different colored zephyrs, make receptacles for fancy work to ..carry, or scent-bags for one's room. Handkerchiefs worked in outline or heavy embroidery make pretty substitutes for Christmas cards. Yon may smile now at thoughts of Cbristmastide before the fires are built, but when the rush comes, how delightful to open a drawer half-full of pretty gifts and think: "There. I'm nearly , ready, and I don't know when I've made them. " - Manuring: Cannot be Over Done. National Stockman. The venerable Peter Henderson thinks manuring cannot be over done, and says: It is a great blunder to attempt to grow vegetable crops without the use of manures of tbe various kinds. I nevef yet saw soils of any kind that had borne a crop of vegetables that would produce as good a crop tbe next season without the use of manure, no matter how rich the soil may be thought to be. An illustration of this came under my observation laft season. One of my neighbors, a market gardener of twenty years experience, and whose grounds bave always been a perfect model of productiveness, had it in prospect to run a sixty foot street through bis grounds; thinking his land sufficiently rich to carry through a crop of eabbages without manure, he thought it useless to waste money by using guano on that portion on which the street

The effect was the most marked I ever saw; that portion on which the guano had been used sold off readily at $12 per hundred, or about $1,400 per acre, both price and crop being more than the average; but the portion from which the guano bad been withheld, hardly averaged $3 per hundred. Tne street occupied fully an acre of ground, so that my friend actually lost over $1,050 in crop by withholding $60 for manure. Another neighbor with a lease only one year' to run, also unwisely concluded it would be foolish to waste manure on bis last crop and so planted and sowed all without; tbe result was, as his experience should have taught bim, a crop of inferior quality .in every article grown, and loss en bis eight acres of probably $2,000 for that season. THIS TEXAS CAMELS. A Few Left of the Original Herd Brought to Texas Before the War. Galveston News. In order that the Texas State Fair and Dallas Exposition may be complete in every particular, the association has concluded to bring Irom the West a number of Texas camels, which they will place among the products of Texas. It is not generally known that there are camels, both wild and domestic, in Texas, but it is nevertheless a fact Texas is a great State, and has a little of everything. A News reporter yesterday called upon Maj. John Henry Brown in quest of information in regard to the history of Texas camels. Major Brown says that tbey were brought to Texas by the federal government in 1852 for the purpose of testing the feasibility of using them in crossing the great American desert and the dry region between here and California Several Arabian canvassers came along with the camels for tbe pnrpose of instructing the Americans in their art of handling tbe animals. These Arabs remained in the employ of the government for the space of two years, and when they left it was believed tbat tbe camels were a success as a means of traveling in the dry region, and it was also believed tbe animals would retain their vigor and health of their native country. The government then proceeded to breed them at Camp Verde, a military post in Kerr county, and they multiplied with great rapidity. When the war came on the camels of course fell into the hands of the Southern Confederacy, which had control of them until tbe close of tbe struggle, at which time Major Brown says there were seventy-six camels at Camp Verde, ranging in age from one year upward. But all the camels were not concentrated at Camp Verde. They had scattered during the war, and some of them were in use in Arizona, while others had wandered from the settlements and gone wild. Very little attention was given to the eamels or to communication by means of them with California during the war, and by the time the federal government got Texas reconstructed and ready to resume the caravan business across the plains, the railroads were solving the problem for which tbe camels were being bred, and the ships of tbe desert were heard of no more as a factor in the commerce of America. The propriety .of running the camels at Camp Verde into Mexico was discussed by some of the Texans who sought refuee in that republic at the close of the war, but the matter onded in discussion. Major Brown said he had not kept run of the camels of late years, but he is certain that there are still quite a number of them, both wild and tame. The move to exhibit some of them at tbe fair meets with his hearty indorsement Africa and Asia could get no pretty good camel shows, but with these exceptions Texas is the only country that can trot out a drove of these long-between-drinks animals. The reporter asked Major Brown in regard to a tradition of the importation of some camels to this State bv individuals, but he bad no definite recollection concerning the same. He had a vague idea that somebody brought a lot of camels to the coast prior to the time the government importation was made, but could not say what was the result of the enterprise or whether any of the descendants of the animals were living. ' How Women Rest. New England Farmer. How differently men and women indulge themselves in what is called a resting spell. "I guess I'll sit down and mend these stockings and rest awhile,"' says the wife, bnt her husband throws himself upon the easy lounge or sits back in bis arm-chair, with hands at rest and feet placed horizontally upon another chair. Tbe result is tbat bis whole body gains full benefit of the half hour he allows himself from work, and the wife only receives that indirect help which comes from change of occupation. A physician would tell her that takine even ten minutes' rest in a horizontal position, as a ehange from standing or sitting at work, would prove more beneficial to her than any of her makeshifts at resting. Busy women have a habit of keeping on their feet just as long as tbey can, in spite of back aches and warning pains. As they grow older they see the folly of permitting such drafts upon their strength, and learn to take things easier, let what will happen. They say, "I used to think I must do thus and so, but I've crown wiser and learned to slight things." Tbe first years of housekeeping are truly the hardest, for untried and unfamiliar cares are almost daily thrust upon tbe mother and home-maker. "ew Jersey's Sympathy with Anarchism. Jersey City, N.
