Homey Clay once stood upon the top
of the Allegheny mountains In an at-
titude of listening. When some ono
asked him to whet he was listening,

powerful, rcsannet, oratorical voice,

mighty tramp of the coming genera-
tions!" To -clay we may not have
an imaginative elm keen enough to
hear the thunderous echoes ol the
moving feet which ORB walk this
earth two centuries or a thousand
years honer), but wo can now bear the
pattering feet of the multitudes of
school children. We may lime, too,
the rumbling of the hearses. which
shall, nooner or later carry out our
dead bodies to tlie newly dug graves.
We hear the inexorable warning that
in a few mil's or perhaps oven in the
coming yeer of 1003 we shell look
upon the rising sun for the last
timo, Then our 'bedrooms, whero we
have often slept and 'neighed and
cried, Weal' he called the. chambers of
death.
The inspired psalmist, considering
tho passing of an earthly life, uses a
beau ti 10, M0000, to wh om
the psalm is ascribed, was not wily
a pont legislator, and a powerful
leader, but a poet. He not only
opened a path 000000 the Red Sea
wile.: his rod, but he cut a sure path
int° the gratitude and erection of
all good men end women by tho
sharp point of his pen, Thus the
ancient, author, who was a pioneer
in the making of books, compared
the eart illy existence of every hu-
man life to a tale that is told."

bachelor keeping house for himself in
the southern part of China: One morn-

to tell his cook to buy a chicken. In-

aspirated the word, saying, "Buy me a

ing: "This was not a good day for buy-
