Young's Crazy Quilt. Laat night whih we were all quietly reading my wife looked np and remarked: "There is a bat in the room." A long timie ago she used to ju:np up with alacrity and go into another room and wait 'till I got the littl- varmint out, but anno domini takes the seate out of a wo man as well as a man, a':d so now she keeps her seat. The girls said. "rake the lamp into the hall and it will go out," but it wouldn't. My wife said, 'you had better get the broom and knock it down, but don't you knock it this way." I notic-ed that -he had put The Sunny South on her head sadde fashion, and the girls had covered up all bur th-Ar eyes. Carefully I mounted a chair and began to sweep for the little creature as it s'immed around, but it takes a long time and I lost my perpendicular a veral times. ' The bat is the missmg link," said I as I gave another stroke. "Seems to be," aid my wife. "You miss it every time." "It Is not an amphiblous animl," said I "but very ambignous.' eaid she. ''It I chiropterous and esertilto." said I as I made another lunge and the chaircareenied and let me down eay. Pausing a while to get breath, I remarked that those big words of Linneus meant having handh and fingers and coming out a! twilight. "Well. do please get the thing out of here-and you can tell us about it afterwards," said my ife. The n'*xt effort was an accidential snccess. The bat was knocked down and swept cut. Then I got the cyclopedia and dis covered from it how the bat wsa a bird that laid no egg-. 1-"t gave birth toitsyoung andsuckled them-how it had hands and feet and fingers ad toes and even finger nails and toe nails now it had teeth, canines and molars; how it was not blind but had little tiny eyes bid in he hair, (-Yes that cannot bear the light an 1 re entirely clcsed when flying around a lighted room. 4 uvier experimenred with them andt ut their eyes out and they could still fly around nnd never tou -h a wall or a cei-ing. I-l said it was oning to their exqui'ite sense of touch and of smell and hearing. The ancients said the bat had a sixi sense 1-y which they could avoid collision with walls awl so forth, but Cu vier did not think so. They are a very ancient little animal and I reclon ba1 a place some where in Noah's ark, bat we don't know whether e put them with the birds or the bags. Moses declared them unclean and clas ed them with ,,.Is and vultures. It seems to as that it is a ;or, niserable life they live, but I reckon they joy it, especially when they come in the house and alarm the women aird children. They have a unique and lonely -lace in crea tion, there being tut two or three kinds, and they never cross or mix and have n- society. They have the miniature hands and feet of hu man beings, the :e th of a dog and wings to fly like a bird. Even Darwin could not tell whether ,heyevoluted backward or forward. I wish t hat I w.as a naturalist. It is an ever lring mysterv to study these little creatureq all around us. How a fly can so swiftly glide pon the window p:ae, what language the ants us.e as theylass and repasi ore another as they go and come from their hidden nests. I wa'ch hem on the poks in the trell:s and they never fail to pause for an instant and say something and quickly pass in. SIay be ;t is "Howdy," or "Are all well?" or "I am glad to see you : ive my love to the children." That they say omething there is no dounbt. Then there are the lightning buns that would bi a great won hr if thev were not so common. Did yonever observe tiat they nevr lighten except to rise hher in the aii? They make no descending light. and so it is evi-l' at that the light they make is not to see by. but to propel them up wards. It is an el- etric power-a force without hea-anad our scienat s s miightt study it and :nalyze the wonderful lit tie chemical machine that lies hidelen in its tail. IL. is a power as well as a light'. My friend Bussey, the bee man of Matrietis, says ho tried diligiently to crss lightaning hugs wi'h his bees so that the cross could see how to work in the dark, but he failed. I haive great respect for Linnens and Cn-vier and Audobon an-l Agassiz, who hve left us such a tressury of knowedg-: that hey gathered from n 'ture. It does seem that nrovidence rse< uap such men with a kind inrpose and gives them a key to unlock ils statehouse. Every once in a great while a greaet mran comes up to mm ster to our plea'-nre, our learn-ng or ur comfort. Thus knowledge be comes difinsed and the world becomes wiser and' hbett'r. If m-: is the best finder woman is te best diffuser' of knowledge. I tonemp'ate I them yesterday as they worked n a er:-zy gilt at. my house.

The story of a most remarkable snow-sternm, says the New York Tri bne, is told by Lieutenant yJohn P. Finley, one of the best-informed rme te'roogists in the country, who en coniteredx the storm ina musin an asent of PI.ike's Peak. He says the storm could be describedl as a "aahooser oft cold lire." In reality it was s-' charged with electricity as to prsett a scen~e more easily imaginaed thn' deribedl. At lirst the flakes only dlischartge2 their tiny lights on coming in contact with the hair of the mule on which the lieutenant was mouted. Pres ently they began coming thicker and faster, erach flake emitting its Mpark as it sank into drifts of the sno)wl, or settled on the clothing of the lieuten ant or the hair of the mule. As the sternm increased in fury an the tilakes became smaller, each of thce ier' particles appeared as a trailin: bhlze of ghostly white light, a-nd the nise produced by the con:dtat ele.itrio expoionis conveyed ina impressioni of nrature's power wbh Lieutenant Fiu-. cy will nevcr forget. When the storm was at its height and each flake of snow wa like a drop of ire, electric sparks were shaken in streams from the hieutenant's finger tips, as well as from his ears, bestr and nose, and a wav'e of his armas was like the sweep of lamingswcrl-bla les through the air, every point ot snow toched giving out its little snap and flash of light. This phenomenon, though rare, is ly no~ menans new to meteorologists, it ham-ng been recorded several times before. It has 'by some observers 'een treated as a sort of p)hosphores ere, hut in the case above cited each lake appears to have been charged with static electricity.

I supptose the peopl in the street gathered tinder and before his window and said: "Just see that man dofying the law. He ought tohearrosted." An-itheconstabulary of the city rush to the police headquarters and report that Daniel is on his knees at the wide open wind ow. "You are my prisoner," says the effieer of the law, dropping a heavy hand .'i 1he sh'o.l-1er of tbho kneeling Dante!. As the constables open the door of the cavern to thrnst in their prisoner they see the glaring eyes of the monsters. But Daniel becomes the first lion tamer, and they liek his hand anel fawn at his feet, and that night he sleeps with the shaggy mane of a wilN beasA for his pillow, while the king that night, sleepless in the palace, hns on him the paw an- teeth of a lion he cannot tame-the lion of a remorseful Conscience. What a picture it woul.d he for some artist! Darius in the early dis' of morning not waiting for ;ootmen or chariot, hastening to the den, all flushed and nervous and in dis habille, and looking through the erevices of the cage to see what had become of his prime minister. "What, no sound!" ho says. "Daniel Is surely devoured, and the lions are sleeping after their horrid. meal. the bones of the poor man scattered across the floor ,f the cavern." With trembling voice Darius calls out: "Daniel?" No answer, for the prophet is yet in profound slumber. But a lion more easily swake'ned, advances, antd with hot breath blown through the er-vice seems angrily to demand the eause of this interruption, and then another wild beast lifts his mane from under Daniel-s hoad, and the proplhet, wakiw'- up. eom-s forth to re port himself all unhurt an- well. But our text siands us at Damiel's window, opened towardl Jerusalem. Why in that di rection open? Jerusalem was his native land, and all the p-om pof his Babyluish suc cesses eiuld not make him forget it. He came there from Jerusalem at eighteen years of age, and he never visited it, though he lived to be eighty-flve years. Yet when he wanted t- arouse the deepest emotions and grandest aspirations of his heart he had his window open toward his native Jerusalem. There are inany of you tn-day who under stand that without any exposition. This is getting to It' a Nat inn of foreigners. They have come into all ne-upations and profes sions. They sit in all chutrches. It may be twenty years ago since you got your naturalization papers, and you may be lhoroughly Americanized, hut von ean't forget Ihe land of your birth, and your waurmest symapathies go out toward it. Your windows are open towar~l Jerusalem. Your father and mother are hurled there. It may. have been a very humble home in whieh von w.'r e born, hut your memory of ten plays armin d it, and you hopa some day to go andl see it-tb- hill, th" tree, the brook, the house, t he place so sacred,. the door from which you started off with parental blessing o make youir own way in the we'ld-and God only knows how sometimes you have longed to see the familiar places of your childhood, and how in awful crises of lif- you woulliketohave.'aught aglimpse of the old wrinkled face that hent over y'ou as you lay on the gentle lap twenty or forty or ftfty years ago. You may have on this side of the sea risen in fortune, and like Daniel have become great and may have come into pros perities whieh you never could hav' reaehed if you had staid there, and you may have many windows to your house -bay windows and skylight windows and windows of con servatoriy andl win lows on all si-des-but you have at least one window open toward Jeru salem. Whe~n the foreign steamer comes to the wharf, vou see the long line of sailors, with sholde.red mailbags, comning down the plnke, carrying as many letters as you might suppiose to be' enough for a year's correspondienre, and this repeated again and again (during the' week. Multitudes of them are letters from home, and at all the post offices of thme land peor'le wiil go to the win dow and anxiontsiv ask for them, hundreds of thousands of personsS flnding that win low of foreign 'mrals the openi window toward Jierudmsn.. Messags that say: "When arc yu comtingf home to see us? Brothe.r has gon" into the army. Sister is dead. Father and mother are gett ing very feble. We are having a great struggle to get on here. Would you a-lv'se us to come to you. or will you cojme to us?

Some of thtese peiple piaye'd on the heather of the Scottish hills; some of them were driven out by Irish. famine: seome 6f them in early life drilled in th.' German army; some of them were aceustomned at Lyons or Marseilles or rins to sco on the street Victor Hugo and Gamohetta; some chased the ebamois among the Alpine precipices; some plucked the ripe clusters from Italian vineyard; some lifted their faces under the midnight sun of Norway. It is no dishonor to our land that they remnemn ber the place of their nat iv'ity. Mis'ereants would they be If, while they have some of their windows open to take in the free air and the sunlight o f an atmosphere which no kingly despot has ever breathed, they forgot sometimes to open the window toward Jerusalem. No wonder that the son of the Swiss. when far away from home, hearing the National air of his country sung, the mialaiy of home Bickness comes on hit so powerfully as to cause his death. You have the example ci heroic Daniel of my text for keeping early memories fresh. Forget not the old folks at home. Write often, and if you have a sur plus of means and they are poor make prac tical contribution, and rejoice that Amernici is bound to nll the world by tics of sanguin ity na in nto ot'e'r Nation. Who can doubi but it is appointed for the evangelIzation o: other lands? What a stirring, melting, gos pelizing theory that all the doors of othe: Nations are-open toward uis, while our win dows are open toward them! But Daniel in the text kept this port hole of his domestic fortress unclose] because Jerusalem was the capital of sacred initu enes. There had smoked the sacrifice There was the holy of holies. There was thi ark of the covenant. Th.'re stood the tern pe. We are nll tempted to keep our win dows open on the opposite sido toward th world, that we may see and hear an appropriate its advantages. W~hat does thm world say? What does the world think What does the world do? Worshipers 0 the world instead of worshipers of God Windows open toward Babylon. Window open toward CorInth. Windows open towar Athens. Windows open toward Sodom. Win dows open toward1 the flats instead of wir dows onen toward thehills. Sad mistake, fo this world as a goid Is like something I sau in the museum of Strasburg, Germany-th figure of a virgin in wood and iron. Th victim In olden time was brought there, an this figure would open its arms to rece:v him, and once enfolded the flgure close with a hundred knives andl ian'-es upon him and then let him idrop 180i feet shueer down So tho world first embraces thme idolat.'rs then closes ution them with many tortures aid then l'!s'th-:n drop fori'ver down.

In olden time the Earl of Westmorelan said he had no need to pray because he ha enough pious tenants on his estate to pra for him, but all the prayers of the churc universal amount to nothing unless, lik Daniel, we pray for ourselves. 0 men an women, bounded on one side by Shadrach redhot furnace and the other side by d( vouring lions. learn the secret of courag and deliverane by looking at that Batyy l.mnih window open toward the southwes1 "Oh," you say.

But it is another Jerusalem toward whic we now need to opn our windows. The exile evangelist of Ephesus saw it one day as th the surf of the Icarian Sea foamed an splashed over th'e boulders at his feet, an his vision reminded me of a wedding da when the bride by sister and maid was ha' ing garlands twisted for her hair and jewel strung for her neck just before she puts h( betrothed hand into the hand of h< affianced. "I, John. saw the holy city. Ne Jerusalem, coming down from Goid out< heaven prepared as a bride adorned for hi husband." Toward that bridal Jerusale: are our windows opened? We would do well to think more of heave: It Is not a mere annex of earth. It is not desolate outpost. As Jerusalem was the cal ital of Judiea, and Babylon the capital of th Babylonian monarchy, and London Is th capital of Great Britain, and Washington the capital.- of our own R~epublic, the Ne Jerusalem is the capital of the universe. Tl King lives there, and the royal family of tl redeemed have their palaces there, a..d the: is a congress of many Nations and parliamei of all the world. Yen,as Daniel had kindre in Jerusalem of whom he often though though he left home whena very young mal perhaps father and mother and brothers an sisters still living, and was homesick to si them, and they beionged to the high circle of royalty, Daniel himself having royal bloc in his veins, so we have in the New Jerusi lem a great many kindred, and we are some times homesick to see them, and they are a princes and princesses. in them the bloc impDerial, and we do well to keep our windoi open towerd their eternal residence. It is a joy for us to believe that while o are Interested in them they are interested us. Much thought of heaven makes or heavenly. The airs that blow through tha open window are charged with life, ai sweep up to us aromas from gardens tha never wither under skies that never clou< in a spring-tide that never terminates. Con pared with it all other heavens are dead fai ures. Homer's heaven was an elyslum which I describes as a plain at the end of the eart or beneath, with no snow nor rainfall, an the sun never goes down, and Bhadomar thus, the justest of men, rules. Hesiod heaven is what he calls the islands of ti blessed, in the midst of the ocean, thr< tImes a year blooming with most exqulii flowers, and the air is tInted wiithi purpi while games and music and horse races o eupy the time. The Scandinavian's heavi was the hall of Waihalla, where the gi Odin gave unending wine suppers to earth heros and heroines.
