A despatoh from Wishinglon says:
-Rev, Dr, Talmage preached from the
following text :-" The stork in the
heaven knoweth her appoint eel tImo ;
and the turtle and the crane and the
swallow obeerve Ihe I. hue, of Iheir com-
ing ;
oming; but Iny people know not the judg-
ment

,When God would set Inst a beauti-
lful thought, he plants it in n tree.
When lie would putt; it afloat, he fash-
ions it, into a fish. When he would
have it glide in the air, he moulds it
into a bird. My text speaks of four
birds of beautiful instinct -the stork,
of such strong affection that It is al-
lowed familiarly to come, in Holland
and Germany, and build its nest over
the door -way; the sweet-dispositioned
turtle -dove, mingling in colour white,
and black, and brown, and ashen and
chestnut ; Lha crane, with voice tike
the clang of a trumpet ; the swallow,
swift as a dart shop out of Ihe how of
heaven, falling, mounting, skimming,
sailing -four birds alerted by the pro-
phet twenty-five centuries ago, yet fly-
ing on through the ages, with rous-
ing truth under glossy wing and in
the clutch of stout claw. I suppose it
may have been autumn -and the pro-
phet out-of-doors, thinking al the im-
pelnitence of the people of his day, bears
a great cry overhead,
Now, you know tt w [L is no easy Ihing
' `w one with ordinary delicacy of eye -
:ht to lnok into the deep blue of the
noon -day heaven ; but the prophet looks
up, and there are flocks of storks, and
turtle -doves and cranes, and swallows,
drawn out in long lines for Slight
southward. .As ie their habit, the
canes had arranged themselves into two

ting
s making an angle, a wedge split

ting the air .with evil(' velocity, the old
ovine, with commanding call bidding
then onward; while the towns and
the, cities, and the continents slide un-
der them. The prophet, almost blind-
ed front looking into the dazzling heav-
ens, stoops down and begins to think
how much superior the birds are in sag-
acity abuut their safety thtut men about
theirs; and he puts his hand upon
the pen, and begins to write: "The
stork in the heaven knoweth her ap-
pointed times; and the turtle and 'the
crane and the swallow observe the time
of their coming ; but my people know
not the judgment of the Lord."
If you were in the field to -day, In the
clump of trees at the corner of the
field, you would see a convention of
birds, moving and passing resolutions
on the subject of migration; some Pro-
posing to go to -morrow, some moving
that they go to -day; some moving that
they go to Brazil, some to Florida, some
to the tablelands of Mexico, but all
unanimous in the fact that they must
go soon, fur they have marching orders
from lee Lord, written on the first
white sheet of the frost, and in the
pictorial of the changing leaves. 'There

solemn worths of the text : " The stork

limes; and the turtle and the crane
and the Swallow observe the time of
their coming ; but any people know not
the judgment of the Lord,"
1 propose, so far as Cal may help
nee, this morning, carrying out the
idea. of Ihe text, to show that the birds
of the air have more sagacity than men.
And .I begin hy particularizing and
saying that. they mingle music with
their work. The most emirates under•
taking of a bird's lite is this annual
travel from the Hudson to the Amazon
from the Thames to the Nile. Natur-
alists tell us that they arrive there
thin and weary, and plumage leuffied,
and yet they go singing all the
way, the ground, the lower line of the
music, themselves, the notes scattered
up and clown between. I suppose their
song gives elasticity to their wiings,
helps on with the journey, dwindling
a thousand miles into four hundred.
Would God that we were as wise as
they in mingling Christian song with
our every -day work; T. believe there is
such ft thing as taking the pitch of
Christian devoting in the morning, and
keeping it all the day. T think we
might take some of the dullest, heavi-
est, meat disagreeable work of our
life, and sat it to the tune of "Antioch"
lir "Mount .?legate" i ,
It is a good sign when you hear a
workman whistle. It is a better sign
when yot hear him hint a roundelay,
.11 is a still better sign when you
hear him sing the words of Isaac Watts

in the way your fathers trod;
They y are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see,"
The Church of God never will he a
triumphant church until it boeomes a
singing church.
I go further, and remark that the
birds of the air are wiser tban eve, in
rho foot that, in their migration, they
fly very high. During the summer,
when they are in the fields, they often
cauls within treach of the gun; but
when they start. for the annual flight
southward, they lake their places mid -
heaven, and go straight as a mark.
The longest rifle that was ever
brought to shoulder can not reach
them. Would, to God 'that we were as
wise cee tho stork and crane in our
flight heavenward! We fly so low,
that we are within easy rang° of the
world, the flesh, and the devil. We
arc brought down by temptatinns, that

brethren, because we have not reach-
ed these heights ourselves, shall we
deride the feet that there are tiny such
heights? A man was 011111 talking to
Brunel, the famous engineer, about
the length of the railroad from Lon-
don to -.[histol. The cuglneer said,
it Is not very great. \\'s shall have,
alter a well°, a steamer running from
England to New York." They laugh-

far now that we have ceased Lo laugh

his grace in Paal, and Latimer, and
Melted Payson. I believe there are
higher points of Christian attain-
ment to be reached in the fu-
ture ages of th,' Christian world. Yea
tell me Hutt Paul went up to the tiptop
of the Alps of (''hl'istime uttetinment,

1110 mru'1'O
tv, Ihaee temptations wally
themselves and attack us, and by the
grace of God, Nye defeat them again;
but, staying all the time in the old one
campmelit, we have the same old bat-
tles to fight over. Why not whip out
our temptations, and then march, for-
ward making one raid through. the
enemy's country, stopping not until we
break ranks alter the last victory. Do
my brethren, let us have some novelty
of combat, at any rate, by changing,
by going on, by making advancement,
trading off our stale prayers about
sins we ought to have quit long ago,
going on 'toward a higher state of
Christian character, and routing out
sins that we leave never thought oe
yet. The fast is, if the Church of Goc!
-if we, as individuals, make rapid ad-
vancement (n lltr Christian life, these
stereotyped prayers we have been
making for ten or fifteen years would
be es inappropriate to us as the shoe:,,
nn.l the hats, and the wets we wore
ten or fifteen years ago. Oh for a
higher flight in the Christian life, the
stork and the crane in their migration
teaching us the lesson!
"Dear Lord, and Strati we ever live,
At this poo' dying rate -
Our love so faint, so cold to thee,
;And thine to us so great?"
Again, I remark ,bet the birds of
the air are wiser than we, because
111ey know when to start. If you
sh',utd go out now and shout, "stop,
p,t orks and °ranee, don't be in a hurry!"
they would stay, "No, we oan not stop;
last. night we heard the roe rine in the

Oh, 1 have noticed again and again
what a botch this World makes of it
when it tries to comfort, a soul in

can wo help crying when the heart's

one, and mauler is gone, and e

'gone, and everything 'seems gone? It
is no comfort. to tell a man not to cry.

Yon may have noticed that when the
chaffinch or the stork or the crane
starts on its migration, it calls all
thole of this kind to come too. The tree-
tops are Lull of °hire and whistle and

Published In Switzerland.
Wherever there is war the Red Cross,
waving over a hospital, blazoned upon
an ambulance, or worn upon the sleeve,
proclaims that help Is at hand for ill
and wounded soldiers.
The originator of the Red Cross so-
' eiely, IDI, Henri Dunent, of Geneva, has
now proposed another international
movement, which, alas! is needed in
every country under the sun. .its ob-
jest is the protection and rescue of
women and girls from the snares which
scoundrels set for them, The Green
• Cross is its Insignia.
I Numberless are the means that might
be useful for the purpose, but not more
1 numerous than are the pitfalls can-
ningly prepared for victims. The moss:
obvious, and perhaps the most usual
way to help women, and girls who are
encountering dangers of which they
are unaware, is to place agents of the
Green Cross at the railway stations of
the great cities, and protect arriving
passengers at the moment when they
are most helpless.
The organization Is already at work
in Switzerland. Arrangements are be-
ing made to introduce it in all the
countries of Europe, and no doubt the
movement will have devoted and en-
ergetic promoters on this side of the
Atlantic. There is no more worthy ob-
ject of humane endeavor than this, of
world-wide importance, that remains
and needs to be done.

"1 have experienced what Dodd's
Kidney Pills will do," said Mr, John
Nicholas Babcock, another well-known

spent hundreds of dollars in doctors'
bills, and for various so-called cures,
but with no lasting benefit.
"I didn't believe Dodd's Kidney Pills
would cure me, but expected to get a
little temporary relief from their use.

in the publication of agricultural ex-
periments discussed by the "Stratford -
on -Avon Herald," Friday, June 24th,
1808, we note particularly the remark;
"Thomas -Phosphate Powder, that fat-
ter day inlroduedion, dovetails con-
veniently with the nitrogenous collect-
ing principle, and fur top -dressing ro-
tation, clovers and grass lands com-
mands the situation." In a later edi-
tion of the same paper, " A Wandering
Commissioner," in the coursn of An ar-
ticle descriptive of his wanderings,
says: We were greatly interested in
this field, et Newbold, on account of
the experiment Mr. Patter had been
trying with Alberts' Thomas -Phosphate
Powder. The land is a parish gravel
soil of scanty herbage. Farnt-yard
manure bas failed to give sal isfaction
on le . Last summer be applied Thomas -
Phosphate Powder, and the result is
a mass of clover, described by him as
thick and soft es a feather bed. In
this particular instance, it was the yel-
low variety of color, 1 refoil, and not
the desired while, which the phosphate
bas become famous for getting. This
is interesting and we expect the ex-
planation is that such poor land favors
n lower order of. clover, Itemise it has
not a sufficiency of the plant food ne-
cessary to produce, the higher order of
vegetation to which the white belongs.,
But it is also interesting to note thitt
white plover always gains the ascend-
ancy if safficieob of the phosphate Is
available with the potash in the soil.
en looking over the field in question
we can readily see ample evidence of
the better clover already making head-
way. We speak with a go lid deal of
confidence on- this point, having no
Geed No many developments on simi-
lar lines."
Our standing army would be simply
rank were it not for the officers.
