A Promising Situation. (New Vi c'x Dally Investigator.] ConJ judges say that ono of t.io next lotto achieve distinction bv jumping entities I «_J from a substantial town to n thriving metropolis Inn fear years trill bo tue city ol Superior, TVlsoonsin, and this, too, without the effort and struggle through w hich Interior towns have pnssed while effecting the same result. Untila year or two ago the average man did not stop to think that Superior as a monopolist of the water and rail termini at one end of the lakes is iu the same position as Buffalo at th>-*ther end. Figures are uninteresting unless given briefly .but comparisons are always important. This little Superior, credited by its last census with only 33,000 )>eoi>lo, handled rnoro coal last year than did Chicago; of ihels; grain, it shipped -nineteen million bushel! . of flour, sixteen hundred thousand barrels; of wool,’four million pounds; of merchandise, tot ho value of thirteen million dollars. Of all lake cities this business was second only to Chicago iu magnitude. There is an economical reason for this condition of things. It is that the rail rate on freight sent west of Lake Michigan is one cent per ton per mile, whilo the water rate to one-tenth of ono cent )>cr ton per mile. This position at the extreme western end of Lako Superior Is what gives the city of Superior its prestige, and is making is grow faster than Chicago ever did. Besides one hundred and one smaller industrial conoerns, Superior lias located twenty-eight large manufacturing enterprises in the past eighteen months, including the American Steel Barge Company, the builders of the famous "whaiebaok” vessel, which Is revolutionizing the lake and ooean freight currying trade. Tho twenty-eight institutions above mentioned, include iron and steel plants, flour mills, stove foundries, wagon factories, pump makers, shipbuilders and saw and skinglqtmills. The most conservative business men in the Northwest believe that Superior will grow faster in the next ten years than any other t-ity in that prosperous section of the country, and many of them claim that Chlcago;iSt Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee havehever seen ihe rapid growth that willeoniS to the head of the great chain of lakcs aiffl the city of Superior. *^v¥ Jr Tub world never saw (t larger crop than the one which grew from the seed sown by the Pilgrim Fathers, when they planted their foot on American soil. — Dansvilie Breeze, , '

HEAVENLY INFLUENCES. Sermon by Rev. T. DeWitk Talmasro in Brooklyn Tabernacle. A l’nmnt Shepherd Supplies the Thetae for Many Useful Lessons -God’s Order III Everything Made Manifest. The following discourse by Rev. T. De VVitt Talmage was delivered in the Brooklyn tabernacle from the text: Soak Bim that makoth tho seven stars and Orion.—Amos v., 8 . A country farther wrote this text— A mo* of Tokoa. lie plowed the earth and threshed the grain by a new threshing machine lust invented, as formerly the cattle trod out the grain. He gathered the fruit of the sycamore tree, and : sacrificed it with an iron comb just before it was getting ripe, as it was ueeI essary and customary in that way to | take from it the bitterness. He was ; the son of a poor shepherd, and stuttered; but before the stammering rus- ! tic the Philistines, and Syrians, and f Phoenicians, and Moabites, and Ammonites, and Edomites, and Israelites trembled. Moses was a law-giver. Daniel was a prince, Isaiah a courtier, and David a king; but Amos, the author of my text, was a peasant, and, as might bo supposed.nearly all his parallelisms are pastoral, his prophecy full of new-mown hay, and the rattle- of locusts, and the rumble of carts with sheaves, and the roar of wild beasts devouring the flock, white the shepherd came out in their defense. He watched the herd by day, and by night inhabited a booth made out of bushes, so that through these branches he could see the stars all night long, and was more familiar with them than we who have tight roofs to our houses, and hardly ever see the stars, except among the tail black Chimneys of the great towns. But at seasons of the year when the herds were in special danger he would stay out in the open field all through the darkness, his only shelter the curtain of the night-heaven, with the stellar embroideries and silvered tassels of lunar light. What a life of solitude, all alone with his herds! Poor Amos! And at twelve o’clock at night, hark to the wolf’s hark, and the lion’s roar, and the bear’s growl, and the owl's tb-whit-te-who, and the serpent’s hiss, as he unwittingly steps too near, while moving through tho thiekets! So Amos, like other herdsmen, got the habit of studying the map of the heavens, because it was so much of the time spread out before him. He noticed some stars advancing and others receding. He associated their dawn and setting with certain seasons of the year. He had a poetic nature, and he read night by night, and month by month, and year by year, the poem of the constellations, divinely rythmic. But two rosettes of stars especially attracted his attention while seated on the ground or lying on hisback under the open scroll of the midnight heavens—the Pleiades, or Seven Stars, and Orion. The former group this rustic prophet associated with the spring, as it rises about the 1st of May. The latter he associated with the winter, as it comes to the meridian in January. The Pleiades, or Seven Stars, connected with all sweetness and joy; Orion, the herald of the tempest. The dneients were the more apt to study the physiognomy and juxtaposition of the heavenly bodies, because they thought they had a special influence upon the earth, and perhaps they were right, If the moon every few hours lifts and lets down, the tides of the Atlantic ocean, and the electric storms of the sun, by all scientific admission, affect the earth, why not the stars hnvf‘ nronnviinnatft pffppi?

And there are somethings which make me think that it may not have been nil superstitiun which connected the movements and appearance of the heavenly bodies with great moral events cn earth. Did not a meteor run on evangelistic errand on the first Christmas night, and designate the rough cradle of our Lord? Did hot the stars in their courses fight against Sisera? Was it merely coincidental, that before the destruction of Jerusalem, the moon was celipsed for twelve consecutive nights? Did it merely happen so that a new star appeared in constellation Cassiopeia, and then disappeared just before King Charles IX. of France, who was responsible for St. Bartholomew gmassacre, died? Was it without significance that im the days of the Roman Emperor Justinian, war and famine were preceded by the dimness of the sun, which for nearly a year gave no more light than t^e moon, although there were no clouds to obsenre it? Astrology, after all, may have been something more than a brilliant heathenism. No wonder that Amos of the text, having heal'd these two anthems of the stars, put dojrn the stout rough staff of the herdsman and took into his brown hand and cut and knotted fingers the pen of a prophet, and advised the recreant people of his time to return to God, saying: ‘‘Seek Him that maketh the Seven Stars and Orion.” This command which Amos gave seven hundred and eighty-five years B. C., is just as appropriate for 1S93, A. D. In the first plaee, Amos saw, ns we must see, that the God who made the Pleiades and Orion is the God of order. It was not so much a star here and a star there that impressed the inspired herdsman, but seven in one group and seven in the other group. He saw that night after night, and season after season, and decade after decade, they had kept step of light, each one in its own place, a sisterhood never dashing .and never contesting precedence. From the time llesiod called the Pleiades the “seven daughters of Atlass,” and Virgil wrote in his ,£neid of “Stormy Orion” until now they have observed the order established for their coming and going; order written not in manuscript that may he pigeon holed, but with the hand of the Almighty on the dome of the sky so that all nations may read it Order. Persistent order. Sublime order. Omnipotent order. What a sedative to yon and me, to whom communities and nations sometimes seem going pell-mell, and world ruled by some fiend it haphazard, and in all directions maladministration! The God who keeps seven worlds in aright eireuit for six thousand years can certainly keep all the affairs of individuals and nations and continents in fret adjustment. We had not better much, for the peasant's argument of the text was right. If God can take care of the seven worlds of Pleiades and the four chief worlds of Orion, die can probably take eare of the one world we inhabit. Ho I feel very much as my father ifelt one day when we were going to the country mill to get a grist ground, and I, a. boy of seven years, sat in the back part of the wagon, and our yoke of oxen ran away with us, and along a labyrinthine road through the woods, so that I thought every moment we wonld be dashed to pieces and I made a

ly when we are assured that it is not a yoke of unbroken steers that are draw mg us on, but that order and wise got* eminent are in the yoke? In your occupation, ybur mission, your spheie, do the best you can, and then trust to God; and if things are all mixed and disquieting, and your brain is hot and your heart sick, get some one to go out with you into the starlight and point out to you the Pleiades, or, better than that, get into some observatory, and through the telescope see further than Amos with the naked eye conld—namely. two hundred stars in the Pleiades, and that in what is called the sword of Orion there is a ncbnia computed to be two trillion twp hundred thousand billions times larger than the sun. Oh, be at peace with the God who made all that and controls all that—the wheel of the constellations, turning in the wlieei of galaxies for thousands of years without the breaking of a cog or the slip* ping of a baud or the Snap of an axle. For your placidity and comfort through the Lord Jesus Christ l charge you: “Seek Him that maketh the seven stars and Orin." Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the God who made these two groups of the text was the God of light. Amos saw that God was not satisfied with making one star, or two or three stars, tint He makes seven, and having finished that group of worlds, makes another group—group after group. To the Pleiades He adds Orion. It seems that God likes light so well that He keeps making it Only one lteing in the universe knows the statistics of solar, lunar.stellar, meteoric creations, and that is the Creator Himself. And they have all been lovingly.christened, each one a name as distinct as the names of yonr children. “lie telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.” The seven Pleiades had names given to them, and they are Alcyone, Me rope, Celteno, Eleetra, Sterope, Taygete and Mala. Hut think of the billions and trillions of daughters of starry light, that God calls by name, as they sweep by Him with beaming brow and lustrous robe! So fond is God of light—natural light, moral light, spiritual light. Again and again is light harnessed for symbolization—Christ, the bright and morning star; evangelization, the daybreak; the redemption of nations;; Sim of Righteousness, rising with healing in His wings. Oh, men and women, with so many sorrows and sins and perplexities, if yon want light of comfort, light of pardon, light of goodness, in earnest prayer through Christ, “Seek Him that maketh the Seven Stars and Orion.” Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the God who made these two archipelagoes of stars must be an unchanging God. There had been no change in the stellar appearance in this herdsman's lifetime; and his father, a shepherd, reported to him that , there had been no change in his lifetime. And these two clusters bang over the celestial arbor now just as they were the first night that they shone on the Edenic bowers; the sam«^ as when the Egyptians built the pyramids, from the top of which to watch them; the same as when the Caldeans calculated the eclipses; the same as when Elihu, according to the Book of Job, went out to study the aurora borealis: the same under Ptolemaic system and Corpernican system: the same from Calistbenes to Pythagoras, and fi-om Pythagoras to Herseliel. Surely a changeless God must have fashioned the Pleiades and Orion! Oh, what an anodyne amid the ups and downs of life, and the flux and reflux of the tides of prosperity to know that we have a changeless God, the same yesterday, today and forever.

The world sits in its chariot and drives tandem, and the horse ahead is Huzza, and the horse behind is Anathema. Lord Cobh am. in King James’ time, was applauded and had thirty* fire thousand dollars a year, but was afterwards execrated and lived on scraps stolen from the royal kitchen. Alexander the Great’after death remained unburied thirty days because no man would do the honor of shoveling him under. The duke of Wellington refused to have his iron fence mended beeanse it had been broken by an infuriated populace in some hour of political excitement, and he left it in ruins that men might learn what a fickle thing is human favor, “lint the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting, to them that fear Him, and llis righteousness unto the Children’s children of snch as keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commandments to do them.” This moment “Seek Him that maketh the Seven Stars and Orion.” Again, Amos saw, as we must see, that the God who made these two beneons of the oriental night sky must be a God of love and kindly warning. The Pleiades rising in mid-sky said to all the herdsmen and shepherds and husbandmen: “Come- out and enjoy the mild weather, and cultivate your gardens and fields.” Orion, coming in winter, warned them to prepare for tempest. All navigation was regulated by these two constellations. The one said to shipmaster and crew: “Hoist sail tor the sea and gather merchandise from other lands.” llut Orion was the storm signal, and said: “Reef sail, make things snug or pnt into harbor, for the hurricanes are getting, their wings out.” As the Pleiades were the sweet evangels of the spring, Orion was the warning prophet of the winter. Yon must remember that the winter is jnst as important as the spring. Let one winter past without frost to kill vegetation and ice to bind the rivers and snow to enrich onr fields, and then yon wilt have to enlarge your hospitals and your cemeteries- “A green Christmas makes a fat graveyard,” was the old proverb. Storms to purify ithe air. Thermometer at ten degrees above zero to tone up the system. December and January just as important as May and June. I tell yon we need the storms of life as much as we do the sunshine. There are more men rained by prosperity than by adversity. If we bad onr own way in life, before this we would have been impersonations of selfishness and worldliness and disgusting sin, and puffed up until we would have been like Julius C»sar, who was made by sycophants to believe that he was divine, and the freckles on his face were as the stars of the firmament. One of the swiftest transatlantic voyages made last summer by our swiftest steamer was because she had a stormy wind abaft, chasing her from New York to Liverpool. But to those going in the opposite direction the storm was a buffeting and a hinderanee. It is a bad thing to have a storm ahead, pushing jis hack; hut if we he God’s children and aiming toward Heaven the storms of life will only chase us the the harbor. 1 am t '

Oh, what a mercy it is that in the text and all up and down the Bible God induces us to look out toward other worlds! Bible astronomy in Genesis, in Joshua, in Job, in the Psalms, in tho prophets, major and minor, in St> John's Apocalypse, practically saying: “Worlds! worlds! worlds! Get ready for them!” We have a nice little world here that we stick to, as though losing that we lose all. We are afraid of falling off this little raft of a world. We are afraid that some meteoric iconoclast will some night smash it, and we want everything to revolve around it, and arc disappointed when we find that it revolves around the sun instead of tlid sun revolving around it What a fuss we make about this little bit of a world, its existence only a short time between two spasms, the paroxysm by which it was hurled from chaos into order and the paroxysm of its demolition. And Ian glad that so many texts call us to look off to other worlds, many of them larger and grander and more resplendent “Look there,” says Job, “at Maxaroth and Arcturus and his sons!” “Look there,” says St John, “at the moon under Christ’s feet!” “Look there,” says Joshua, at the sun standing still above Gibeon!” “Look there,” says Moses, “at the sparkling firmament!” “Look there,” says Amos, the herdsman, “at the Seven Stars and Orion!” Don’t let us be so sad about those who shove off from this world under Christly pilotage. Don’t let 'us be so agitated our own going off this little bark or sloop or canal-boat of r. world to get on some “Great Eastern” of the heavens. Don’t let ns persist in Wanting to stay in this barn, this shed, this out-house of a world, when all the king’s palaces, already occupied by iftany of our best friends, are swinging wide open their gates to let us in. Oh, now I get the best view of God I ever had! There are two kinds of sermons I never want to preach—the one that presents God so kind, so indulgent, so lenient, so imbecile that men may do what they will against Him, and fracture His every law. and put the pry ol their impertinence and rebellion under His face and stabbing at His heart lie takes them up in His arms and kisses their infuriated brow and cheek, saying: “Of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” The other kind of sermon f never want to preach is the one that represents God as all fire and torture and thunder cloud. With red-hot pitchfork tossing the human race into paroxysms of infinite agony. The sermon that 1 am now preaching believes in a God of loving, kindly warning, the God of spring and winter, the God of the Pleiades and Orion. When I read, “In my Father’s house are many mansions,” I do not know but that each world is a room, and as many rooms as there are worlds, stellar stairs, stellar galleries, stellar hallways, stellar windows, stellar domes. How onr departed friends must pity us, shut up in these cramped apartments, tired if we walk fifteen miles, when they some morning, by one stroke of wing, can make circuit of the whole stellar system, and he back in time for matins! Perhaps yonder twinkling constellation is the residence of the martyrs; that group of twelve luminaries is the celestial home of the Apostles. Perhaps that steep of light is the dwelling-plaee of angles eherubie, seraphic, archangelic. A mansion with as many rooms as worlds, and all their windows illuminated for festivity. Oh, how this widens and lifts and stimulates our expectation! How little

iii uic prcacui, ami stupendous it makes the future! How it consoles us about our pious dead, who. instead of being boxed up and under the ground, hare the range of as many rooms as there are worlds, and welcome everywhere, for it is the Father’s house, in whieh there are many mansions! Oh, Lord God of the Seven Stars and Oiion, how can I endure the transport, the ecstasy of such a vision! I must obey my text and seek Him. I will seek Him. I seek Him now, for I call to mind that it is not the materia! universe that is most valuable, but the spiritual, and that each of us have a soul, worth more than all the worlds whieh the inspired herdsman saw from his booth on the field of Tekoa. I had studied it before, but the cathedral of Cologne, Germany, neverimpressed me as it did the last time I saw it. It is admittedly the grandest Gothic, structure in the world, its foundation laid in 1248. only eight or nine years ago completed. More than six hundred years in building. All Europe taxed for its construction. Its chapel of the Magi, with precious stones enough to purchase a kingdom. Its chapel of t>t. Agnes, with masterpieces of painting. Its spire springing five hundred and eleven feet into the heavens. Its stained glass the chorus of all rich colors. Statues encircling the pillars and encircling all. Statues above statues until sculpture can do no more, but faints and falls back against carved stalls and down on pavements, over which the kings and queens of the earth have walked to confession. Nave and aisles and transept and portals combining the splendors of sunrise. Interlaced, interfoliated, irtercolumned grandeur. As I stood c.adde, looking at the donble range of flying buttresses and the forest of pinnacles, higher and higher and higher, until 1 alecost reeled from dizziness, I exclaimed: “Great doxolgy in stone! Frozen prayer of many nations!” _ But while standing there I saw a poor man enter and put down his pack and kneel beside his burden On the hard Boor of that cathedral. And tears of deep emotion caine into my eyes, as I said to myself: “Tht re is a soul worth more than all the material surroundings. That man will live after the last pinnacle has fallen, and not one stone of all that cathedral glory shall remain uncrnmbled. He is now a Lazarus in rags and poverty and weariness, but immortal, and a son of the Lord God Almighty; and the prayer he now offers, though amid many superstitions, I believe God will hear; and among the Apostles, whose sculptured forms stand in the surrounding niches, he will at last be lifted, and into the presence of that Christ whose sufferings are represented by the crucifix before which he bows; and be raised in due time out of all his poverties into the glorious home built for him and built for ns by “Him whj> maketh the Seven Stars and Orion.” Hew to Read Fiction.

WITH HIS BOOTS ON. v Mot* the Reputation of Camp Hard Luck H im ‘aved. Camp Hard Luck was six months old, and we hadn’t yet lost a man by death. Now and then One had mfet with an accident to lay him up for a few weeks, but it was a subject of congratulation that no one had acttually turned upfe toes. Almost while we congratulated ourselves on this good fortune, Deacon White took to his bed and became seriously ill. The deacon was a quiet, dignified man, who never thawed out §ved when whisky Was plenty; and he was the acknowledged peacemaker of the camp, The chaps just over the hill at Cherry Diggings were a quarrelsome, brawling lot, and but for the effects of Deacon White there’d have sometimes been rows in which somebody would have got hurt Three days after the deacon was taken down he sent for two or three of ns to pay him a special visit. When we had come together in his shanty he said: "Boys, I’m a very sick man. It’s my last sickness. I’m an old man, and I realize that I’ve got to go,” We knew that it was a serious case, but yet we talked encouragingly and tried to brace him up, “It’s no use,” he protested after we had had our say. “I’ve got to die and the only question is how I shall go. If I die in my bed the boys won’t like it. It would look too womanish, and the fellows over the hill would have another chance to brag. They've had three men die, and all died with their boots on.” As a matter of fact we were a little tender on that point, but we were willing to make an exception in the case of the deacon. lie was not a fighting man, and he couldn’t be expected to get up off a dying bed and get in the way of a bullet. We talked and argued with him, and apparently made him see things as we did, and after an hour or so we returned to work, leaving him in the care of a man whose foot had been hurt and who was just able to limp around. This was about 3 o’clock in the afternoon. At about 4 a Cherry Diggings man, who had filled up on whisky, appeared on the crest of the hill and began whooping Ad yelling and giving our camp the grand defi. Following our usual line of conduct ye paid no attention to him, but he kept on seeking a quarrel, and by and by something happened to startle us. We heard a ringing war whoop and looked up to see Deacon White, fully dressed and having a revolver in his hand, striding up the trail. The man left with him had fallen asleep, and the deacon had dressed and armed himself without anybody being the wiser. He was a man six feet tall, but he looked to be a foot more as we saw him now. His long, black hair was blowing out behind from under his hat, and the yells he uttered as he went up the trail sent chills over every man of ns. The chap from Cherry Diggings must have been dumbfounded, even though half drunk. He ceased his shouting and stood stock still until the deacon came within pistol shot and opened fire. Then he turned to flee, but a bullet in the leg brought him down. The deacon continued to advance, firing all the time, and we suddenly saw him throw up his arms and fall at full length. Only then did any of us move. It had all come upon us in sneh a way that we stood spellbound. When we did move a hundred of us went together, and in three minutes we were at the crest of the hill. There lay the deacon, shot through the heart, and there lay the Cherry Diggings man, having four bullets in him and dead enough before we got there. As we looked down on the face of the deacon we expected to find it wild and distorted, but it was not so. There was a smile there—a smile fading away into pallor as death claimed the victory. He had died with his boots on and saved Camp Hard Luck from' being disgraced in the eyes of Cherry Diggings.—M. Quad, in N. Y. World.
