Religious Dancing. In Abyssinia the duties of priests "consist in reading the prayers, chantinr, administering the sacra ment and dancing; the latter being in.ulgeJ ia during religious proces sionT." That the dancing is in this case imported into the quasi-Christian riigion by adoption from some pre vious religion (a like adoption being common with Roman Catholic mis sionaries) is a conclusion supported by an instance from a remote region. Describing the usages of the Pueblos, Lummis says: "The eachinas or sacred dances which were in vogue before Columbus, still survive; but now they are applied to the festivals of the church, and are presmaed to be as grateful to Tata Dios as to the Sun." Ent the way in which singing and dancing before the visible ruler differ entiate into singing and dancing be fore the ruler no longer visible, is best reen in the early records of civilized r-ces. To the above illustrations fur nishedl by Hebrew history may be a-ded various others. Thus I Samuel x. 5, tells of "a company of prophets coming down from thehigh place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, aind a harp before them;"and, accord ing to some translators, dancing and singing. Again in I Chronicles ix., S, we read of certain Levites that "these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites." And in Psalm cxlix, there is the exhortation: "Let them praise His namein the dance; let them sing praises unto Him with the timbrel and harp ;" worship which was joined with the execution of "ven geance upon the heathen,"--Popular Science Monthly. -- I* A Three-Week Sleep. A colored woman in Guthrie, Okla homa, awakened a few days ago out of a sound sleep that ha] lasted a little more than three weeks. Duting that period all the efforts of physicians and others to awaken her were unavailing. When she awoke she quietly got up and started about the house as though nothing unusual had occurred. She did not know she had been asleep longer than over night, anl though the doctors were able to give her but very little noarish'ment during her long slecp. she did no" seem in any way- weal.ened. Sweethearts Die Together. Edwarl Knevin. of Dayton, Ky., fatally shot M-try Schneer, of Alexandria, Ky., and then shot and killed himself. The girl came to Cincinnati some weeks ago and went to live with a family in Clifton. She had no' company except Knevin, and, tiring of him, notitled him not to call any more. He pleaded, but she would not relent. This is the cause of the tragedy. He left a lote identifying himself, and say ing: "It does not do to fool a person." The murderer and his victim were each about twenty-five years old.

PRACICAL Pe-na2bp. eleg THE EYE OF GOD. DR. TALMAGE'S SUNDAY SER31ON All Eternity Past and All Eternity to Come on That-Retina. Tzzr: "He that formed tne eye, shall He not see?"-Psalm xciv., 9. The imperial organ of the human system Is the eye. All up and down the Bible God honors it. extols it, illustrates it or arraigns it. Five hundred and thirty-four times it is mentioned in the Bible. Omnipresence - "the eyes of the Lord are in overy plaoe." Divinecarp-"as the apple of the ev." The clouds-'the eyelids of the mornin. Ir reverence-"the eye that mocketh at its father." Pride-"Oh. how lofty are their eyes!" Inattention-"the fool's eye in the ends of the earth." Divine inspection- - "wheels full of eyes." Suddenness-"in the twinkling of an eye at the last trump." 01 ivetic sermon-"the light of the body is the eye." This morning's texi: "He that formed the eye,'shall He not see?" The surgeons, the doctors. the anatomists and the physiolo gists understand much of the glories of the two great lights of the human face, but the vast multitudes go on from cradle to grave without any appreciation of the two great masterpieces of the Lord God Almighty. If God had lacked anything of infinite wisdom, He would have failed in creating the human eye. We wander through the earth trying to se- wonderful sights, but the most won derful sight that we ever see is not so won derful as the instruments through which we see it It has been a strange thing to me for forty years that some scientist with enough elo qluence and magnetism did not go through the country with illustrated lectures on can vas thirty feet square to startle and thrill and overwhelm Christendom with the marvels of the human eye. We want the nye taken from all its techhnicalities, and some one who shall lav side all talk about the pterygomaxillary fissures, and the sclerotica, and the chiasma of the optic nerve, and in common parlance which you and I and everybody can under stand present the subject. We have learned men who have been telling us what our or; gin iq and what we were. Oh, if some one should come forth from the dissecting table and from the classroom of the univvr- ty and take platform. and asking the help of the Creator. demonstrate the wonders of what we are! If I refer to the physiological facts suw gested by the former part of my text it is only to bring out in a plainer way the theo logical lessons at the latter part of my text. "He that formed the eye. shall He not see?" I suppose my text referred to the human eye. since it excels all others in structure and in adaptation. The eyes of fish andreptiles and moles and bats are very simple things. be cause they have not much to do. There are insects with 100 eyes, but the 100 eyes have less faculty than the human eyes. The black beetle swinming the summer pond has two eyes under water and two eyes above the water, but the four insectile are not equal to the two human. Man, placed at the head of all living creatures, must have supreme equipment, while the blind fish in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky have only an undeveloped organ of sight, an apology for the eye, which, if through some crevii3 of the mountain they should get into the sunlight. might be developed into positive eyesight. In the first chapter of Genesis we find that God, without any consultation. ereated the light, created the trees, created I he fish, created the fowl. but when he wa about to make man he called a convention of divinity, as though to imply that all the powers of Godhead were to be enlisted in the achievement. "Let us make man." Put a whole ton of emphasis on that word "us." "Let us make man." And if God called a called a convention of divinity to create man I think the two great questions in that con ference were how to create a soul and how to make an appropriate window for that em peror to look out of. See how God honored the eye before He created it. He cried, until chaos was irradi ated with the utterance. "Let there be light!" In other words, before He intro duced man into this temple of the world Ho illuminated it, prepared it for the eyesiirht. Anid so, after the last human eye has been destroyed in the final demolition of the world, stars are to fall, and the sun is to cease its shining, and the moon is to turn into blood. In-other words, after the hu man eyes are no more to be profited by their shining, the chandeliers of heaven are to be turned out. God, to educate and to bless and t o help the human eye, set in the mantel of heaven two lamps-a gold lamp and a silver lamp-the one for the day and the other for the night. To show how God hen-I ors the eye, look at the two halls built for the residence of the eyes, seven bones mak ing the wall for each eye, the seven bones curiously wrought together. Kingly palace of ivory is considered rich, but the halls for the residence of the human eye are richer by so much as human bone is more sacred than elephantine tusk. See how God honored the eyes when He made a roof for them, so that the sweat of toil should not smart them and the rain dashing against the forehea:1I should not drip into them. The eyebrows not bending over the eye, but reaching to the right and to the left, so that the rain and the sweat should be compelled to drop upon the cheek, instead of falling into this divine ly protected human eyesight. See how God honored the eye in the fact presented by anatomists and physiologists that there are 803 contrivances in every eye. For window shutters, the eyelids opening and closing 33,' 00 times a day. The eyelashes so con structed that they have their selection as to what shall be admitted, saying to the dust, "Siay out." and saying to the light, "Crin' iL.' For inside curtains the iris, or pupeil of the eye, according as the light Is greater or less, contracting or dilating. The eye of the owl is blindl in tho day time, the eyes of some creatures are blind at night, but the human eye so mnarvelous~y constructerd can see bo0th by day and by night. Many of the other creatures of GaU can move the eye only from side to side, but the human eye so marvelo'tsly "oDi structed has one muscle to lift the eye, and another muscle to lower the eye, and an other muscle to roll it to the right, and an other muscle to roll it to the left, andan other muscle passing through a pulley to turn it round and round-an elaborate gear ing of six muscles as perfect as God could make them. There also is the retina, gathering the rays of light and passing the visual impression along the optic nerve, about the thickness of the lampwick-pass ing the visual impression on to the- senorism and on into the soul. What a delicate lens, what an exquisite screen, what soft cushions, what wonderful chemistry of the human eye! The eye, washed by a slow stream ol moisture whether we sleep or wake, rolling imperceptibly over the pebble of the eye and emptying into a bone of the nostril.

It grows strmight up, and every few inches sends o-t a strong little arm cr tendril that fas'er.s around a cane or a wire and holds the vine steady. I never saw anything to grow as rapidly as this gourd vine. It wa late in coming up, but has already c'imbed higher than the other vines. It makes a foota clay by im!,isurement. I wonder how the Creator wrapped tip so mnch sense in a tiny seed. What a condensation of I fe and beauty there is in the germ, the em bryo of a ilwer seed-the sced of a carnation pink. for in -tince. It ii a never-ceasing miys 'ery-the mystery of the flowei s. the corn, the cotton. x:h leaves of the trees.

See with what desite the leaves and flowers of these vines reach out to the morning sun. Mriade of flowers are I orn to blnsh unseen, and if they were not conscious of tLeir beauty, why should they be born at all? I used to think that everything we soe was crated for the use or the pleasureof man,and Ihat even the stars were placed in the heavens to please ui. Bt I don't think so now. The birds do not sing for us alone. Even the spar row that falls to the ground has the sympathy of its Crr at r. Buit if a man wishes to ponder upon his in'ig nificanee let him try to grazp the extent of tho univ, r-e. Sir Isobert Ball, of Cambridge, say, in a cecnt lecture on the stars, that there. is no limit to tl-e universe, no outside boundary -no: pace beyond the etrs-no space where theie are no s:ars, and he tries to bring this idea within our reach by telling us that clec tric:ty travels on the wires 180.00 miles in a secon:1 and a message could be sent seven times around the ear:h in the tick of a clock, and to the moon in a second and a half and to the sun in eight minute,, but it wonld take four years to send a telegram to Alpha Centan ri. the star that is nearest the earth. Over our heads and visible to the naked ere are stars so remote that if iwhen Columbus discovere I America he had telegraphed the news to them the message would not yet have reache- them. But the tekscope at the Lick observatory has I rought stars into view so u terly distant that if the wise men whot visited the Savior at hiis l icth had telegraphed the glad tidings to these stars tl:e message would still be going on and on ancd on at the speed of 180,000 miles every se c cud and not have gotten there. Well, tha' settles it. I don't want to try to think any farther than that. I'm afraid it would strain my mind-like Cabe said when he re fused to shoot at a ci quirrel in the t op of a very high pine--said be~ didn't like to strain his gun. And now the astronomers declare that this so lar cyt em o& ours is a very limited affair when compared with the other solar systems that the big te'e-cope has discovered. Tiltat instrument magnities 1,000 times, atnd has actually brou.:ht the moon within 240 miles of the earth. I wish they would quit fooling with that moon. F.rst thing we k~now it wdll get loose from i~s orbit and come teari-ng down npon the ear h end knock a hale to the hollow and tot us all on fire. I don't see much use in the moon nohow, except to tell wheni to make soap and kill hogs ictd plant potatoes.

If the eve say one thing and the lips say au other tiing, you believe the eye rather than the lips. The eyes of Archibald Alexander and Charles G. Finney were the mightiest part of their sermon. George Whitefleld en thralled great assemblages with his eyes,. though they were crippled with strabismus. Many a military chieftain has with a look hurled a regiment to victory or to death. Martin Luther turned his great eye on an as sassin who came to take his life, and the vil lain fled.

That was a pathetic s -en' when a blind man lighted a torch at i'ght and was found passin along th" lighw IV. and some onesaid. "Why do you earry t hat torch, when you can't see?" "Ab." sail li. "1 can't see. but I carry this tor'h that oth1r3 may se" me an-1 pity nv helplessness. ani not rua me down." Samson. the giint. with his eves put out by the Phil istines. is more heliless than the smallesti dwarf with vision indamage,1. All the sympathies (of Christ were stirred when, Ie - saw Bartimens with darkenedt retina. an-i thA only salve He Pver made that we read of was a mixture of dust and saliva and a prayer. with which Hle cured the eves of a man blind froin his nativity. The value of the eye is shown -,; much by its catastro phe as by its healthful action. Ask the man who for twenty years has not seen the sun rise, Ask the mau who for half a 'entury h1a- not seen the face of a frien-1. Ask in the hospital the vietini of ophthalmin. AA1 th,- I man whose eyesight perished in a powlv'r blast. Ask the Bartimens who ntever m-t a Christ or the man born bind who i t. die blind. Ask him. This morning, in my imperfect way. I have only hinte~l at the splendors, the gio ries, the wonders. the divines re-:elations, the apoeaiypse. of the human eye, and I stagzer back from the awful portals of the physiol oil miracle which must have tax 'l the irt-nit y of a God. to cry out in your ears the words of my text, "He that foraie.l the eye, shall ie not see?" Shall Herschel not know as much as his telescope? Shall Frauahofor not know as much as his spe troseope? Shall Swammerdat not know as muci as his microscope? Shall Dr. Hooke not know as much as his micrometer? Shall the thing formed know more than its inas ter? "H that formedh the eye, shall Ho not see?" The recoil of this question is tremendous. We stand at the conter of a vast circumfer enee of ooservation. No privacy. On us. ayes of cherubim, eyes of seraphimi, eyes of archangel, eyes of God. Wa may not be able to see the habitants of other vorlds, but perhaps they may be able to see us. We have not optical instruments enough to desery them; perhaps they have optic:l in struments strong enough to descry us. The mo!e cannot see the eagle mid sky, but tho eagle mid sky can see the mole mid grass. We are able to see mountains and caverns of another world. but perhaps the inhabitants of other worlds can see the towers of our cities, the 11ash of our seas, the marching of our lroce ssions, the white robes of our wed dings, the black scarfs of our obsequies. It passes out from the guess into the posi tive when we are told in the Bible that the inhabitants of other worlds do came as con voy to this. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who shall be heirs of salvation'? But human in speetion, and angelic inspection, and stellar inspection, and lunar inspection, and solar inspection are tame compared with the thoughlt of divine inspection. "You can verted me twenty years ago," said a black man to my father. "How so?" said my father. "TI wenty years ago," said the other, "in the old schoolhouse prayer meettng at Bound Brook you said in your prayer, 'Thou, God, seest me,' and I hal no peace under the eye of Gad until I became a Chris tian." Hear it. "rhe eyes of the Lord are in every place." "His eyelids try the chil dren or men." "H'is eyes were as a ilame of Ire," "I will guide thee with Mine eye." Oh, the eye of God, so full of pity, so full of power, so full of Iove, so full of indigna tion, so full of compassion, so full of mercy! Ho w it peers through the darkness! How it outshines th dlay! How it glares upon the orender! How it beams on the penitent soni! Talk acout the human eye as being indescribably wonderful! How much more wonderful tee great, searching, over whelm ing eye of God! All eternity past and alU ternity to e~cm' on that retina. The eyes with which we look into ea::h other's Lace to-day suggest it. It stands written twice on your race and twice on mine, unless 'through casualty one or both have ioden obliterated. "He that formedthe eye, shall H s not see?" On, the eye of Go.l! It seCs our sorrows to assuage them, sees our perplexities to disentangle them, sees our wants to sympathize with them, if we hight Him back', tile eye of an antagonist. .f we ask His grace, the eye of an everlasting riendI. You often iind in a book or manu script a star calling your attention to a foot note or explanation. That star the printer icalls an aisterisk. But all the stars of the night are asterisks calling your attention to Gd-an all observing God. Our every nerve a divine handwriting. Our every muscle a pulley divinely swung. Our every bone sculptured with divine suggestion. Our very eye a reflection of the divine eye. Gad bove us, and God beneath us, and Goa be fore us, and God behind us, and God within uis. What a stupendous thing to live! What a stpendous thing to die! No such thing as idden trangression. A dramatic advocate in olden times, at night in a courtroom, per suaded of the innocence of his client charged with murder and of the guilt of the witness who was trying to swear the poor man's life way-that advocate took up two bright lamps and thrust them close up to the face of the witness and cried, "May it please the court and gentlemen of th-' "ry, behold the murderer!" and the man, ).Lactically under that awful glhre, confessed that he was the criminal instead of the man arraigned at the bar. Oh. rmy friends, our most hididen sin is under a brighter light than that. It is under the burning eye of God. He is not a blind giant stumbling through the heavens. Ho is not a blind monarch feeling for the step of Ils chariot. Are you wronged? He sees it. Are yeol poor? He sees it. Have yu domestic pertuirbationi of which the world knows nothing? He sees it. "Oh," you say, "my affairs are so insignilieant I can't realize that Go-I sees ime and sees m3 affairs." ('an you see the point of a pin? Can you sea the eye of a needle? Can you see a mote in the sunbeam? Andl has Gel given you that piower of mrinuite observation, and doees Ho not possess it Himiself? "He that farmed the eye', shrill He not set'?" But you say': ."Ged i:s in onie worl and I am in another world. Ho seemis so faur ,uff fromi me I don't really think He sees what isI going on in my life." Can you see the sun 95000,00 ) miles away, and d' you not think God has as prolonged vision? Bitt you say, "There are phases of my life and there are color-shades of color-lin my annoyances and my vexations that I don't think Go:1ean understand." Does not God gather up all the colors and alt the shades of color in the rainbow? And do you suppose there is army phase or any shade in your life He has not gathered up in His own heart? Besides that I want to tell you it will soon all be over, this struggle. That eye of yours. so exquisitely fashioned aund strung. and hinged and roofed, will before long be closed in the last slumber. Loving hands wvill smtooth down the silken fringes. S' H" giveth His beloved sleep. A legend of St. Fret'-'bert is that his mother was blinid. and hi' was so sorely pitiful for the misfortune that one dav in sympathy he kissed her eyes, and by mira eleshe saw everytning. But it is not a legend when I tell you that aill the liind eyes of the Christian deal under the kis- of the resur rectiotn morn shall glornously open.
