THE ROSE OF DAWN.
How mockingly tha niornim, dawns for ms,
Since thou art gone, where no pursuing
speech,
No prayer, no farthest-sounding cry can
reach!
I call and wait the answer to my plea—
But only hear the stern, dividing ssa
(That pauses not, however I beseech)
Breaking, and breaking on the distant
beach
Of that far land whereto thy soul did
flee.
Do happy suns shine on thee where thou
art?
And kind stars light with friendly ray
thy night?
And strange birds wake with music
strange thy morn?
This beggared world, where thou no more
bast part.
Misapprehends the morniug’s young
delight.
And the old grief makes the new day
forlorn.

England's Shawl Town.
Huddersfield is the great seat of the
shawl industry in England. It is a fixed
occupation in most of the families there.
The children arc trained in the business
and for generations the same families
make the shawls that are sent from Hud
dersfield to all parts of the world. It is
a profitable labor, and all those engaged
in ft are all well to do. One reason why
it is so remunerative is that compara
tively few people are skilled artisans in
this line of labor. The French shawls
are made in the suburbs of Paris, but
shawl making in Franco is a lower grade
industry than it is in cither England or

t/od is the only being who can manage a
vok ano, and again aud again hasHeem-
ployed voJcamc action. The pictures on
the walls of Fompeii, the exhumed Italian
aty, as we saw them last November, de
monstrate that the city was not tit to live,
in the first century that city, engirdled
with palaces, emparadised with gardens,
pillared into architectural exquisiteuess,
was at the foot of a mountain, up the sides
or which it ran, with vineyards and villas
of merchant princes, ami all that marble
ana bronze and imperial baths and arbori
culture and rainbowed fountains, aud a
coliseum at the dedication of which nine
thousand beasts had been slain, and a
supernal landscape in which the shore gave
roses to the sea and the sea gave crystals to
the shore, yea, all that beauty and pomp
and wealth could give was there to be seen
or heard. But the bad morals of the city had
shocked the world. In the year 70, on the 4th
of August, a black column rose above the
aa..oining mountain and spread out, Pliny
says, as he saw it, like a great pine tree,
wider and wider, until it began to rain upon
the city first thin ashes and then pumice
stone, aud sulphurous fumes scooptAi, and
streams of mud poured through the streets
till fe^r people escaped, and the city was
buried, and some of the inhabitants eighteen
hundred years after were found embalmed
in the scoriae of that awful doom. The Lord
called upon volcanic forces to obliterate that
profligate city. He touched the hills and
they smoked.

wii.ch I looked last December, aud of whose
waters I took a bitter and stinging taste.
Concerning all that region there has been
controversy enough to fill libraries, science
saying one thing, revelation saying another
thing. But admit volcanic action divinely
employed and both testimonies are one and
the same. Geology, chemistry, geography,
astronomy, ichthyology, ornithology and
ecology are coming one by one to confirm
the Scriptures. Two leaves of one book are
Revelation and Creation, and the penman
ship is by the same divine hand. Our horse
back ride will not be so steep to-day, and you
can stay on without clinging to the pommel
of the saddle, but the scenes amid which we
fide shall, if possible, be more thrilling, and
by the time the horses snuff the sulphurous
atmosphere of Ashaltites, or the Dead Sea,
we will bo ready to dismount and read from
our Bibles about what was done that day by
the Ixird when He touched the hills and they

Take a detour and pass along by the rocky
for.less of Masada, where occurred some
thin;': more wonderful iu the way of despera
tion i ban you ever heard of, unless you have
heard of that. Herod built a palace amid
thus? heaps of black and awful rocks w’hich

tl; r families, afterward held the fortress.
ben the Roman army stormed that steep
mi t the bandits could no longer hold the
place, their chieitain, Eleazar, made a pow
erful speech which persuaded them to die
before they were captured. First the men
kissed their families a loving and tearful
f ood-by and then put a dagger into their
earfcs, and the women and children
were slain. Then ten men were
chosen by lot to slay all the
other men, and each man lay down by the
dead wife and children aud waited for these
ex 'cukiouers to do their work. This done,
on 1 } man of the ten killed the other nine.
Then the survivor committed suicide. Two
Women and five children had hid thein-
se’.ves, and after all was over came forth to
tell of the nine hundred and sixty slaugh
tered. Great and rugged natural scenery
makes the most tremendous natures for good
or evil. Great statesmen and great robbers,
great orators aud great butchers, were
nearly all born or reared among mountain
precipices. Strong natures are hardly ever

rass on from under the shadow of Masada,
the scene of concentrated diabolism.and come
alouo; where the salt crystals crackle under
the horses’ hoofs. You are near the most
God forsaken region of all the earth. You
to whom the word lake has heretofore sug
gested those bewitchments of beauty, Lu
zerne or Cayuga, some great penrl set by u
loving God in the bosom of the luxuriant val
ley. change all your ideas about a lake, and
see this sheet of water which the Bible calls
the Salt Sea, or Sea of the Plain,and Josephus
cabs Lake Asphaltites. The muleteers will
bike care of the horses while we go down to
the brink and dip up the liquid mixture in
the palm of the hand. The waters are a com
mingling of brimstone and pitch, and have
six times larger percentage of salt than
those of the Atlantic Ocean, the ocean hav
ing four per cent, of salt and this lake 26‘^
per cent. Lake Sir-i-kol, of India, is the
highest lake in the world. This lake, on the
banks of which wo kneel, is the lowest lake.
It empties into no sea, among other things,
for the simple reason that water cannot run
up hill. It swallows up the river Jordan and
makes no response of thanks, and never re
ports what it does with the twenty millions
cubic feet of water annually received from
that sacred ri ver. It takes the tree branches
and logs floated into it by the Jordan and
pitches them on the banks of bitumen to de
cay there.
' ; iie hot springs .near its banks by the
nameof Caliirhoe, where King Herod came
to bathe off his illnesses, no sooner pour in
to this sea than they are poisoned. Not a
fish scale swims it. Not an insect w'alks it.
It hates life, and if you attempt to swim
there it lifts you by an unnatural buoyancy
to the surface, as much as to say “we want no
life here, but death is our preference, death.”
Those who attempt to wade into this lake,
and submerge themselves, come out almost
maddened, as with the sting of a hundred
wasps aud hornets, and with lips and eye
lids swollen with the strange ablution.
The sparkle of its waters is not like the
sparkle of beauty on other lakes, but a
metallic lustre like unto the flash of a
sword that would thrust you. The gazelles
and the ibexes that live ou the hills beside it,
and cranes and wild ducks that fly across—
for, contrary to the old belief, birds do safe
ly wing their way over it—and the Arab
horses you have been riding, though thirsty
enough, will not drink out of this dreadful
mixture. A mist hovers over paits of it al
most continually, which, though natural
evaporfcion, seems like a wing of doom spread
over liquid desolation. It is the rinsings of
abomination. It is an aqueous monster coiled
among the hills, or creeping with ripples,
•nd stenchful with nauRAatimr malndors.
in these regions once stood four great
Assyria: Sodou, Gomorrah, Adma
and Zeboim. The Bible says they were de-
etroyed by a tempest of fire and brimstone
1 u ? ities bad fll,ed U P with wickedness.
•No, that is absurd,” cries some one; “it is
evident that this was a region of salt and
brimstone and pitch long before that,” And
80 H was. The Bible says it was a region of
smphur long before the great catastrope.
Well, now, says some one, wanting to
raise a quarrel lietween science and Revela-
tion, “j*u have no right to sav the cities of
the plain were destroyed by a tempest of
fire and sulphur and brimstone, because this
region had these characteristics long before
these cities were destroyed.” Volcanic ac-
tion, is my reply. These cities had been
built out of very combustible materials. The
mortar was a bitumen easily ignited, and the
walls dripped with pitch most inflammable.
They sat, I think, on a ridge of hills. They
stood high up ami conspicuous, radiant in
their sms, ostentatious in their debaucheries
four bells on earth.
One day there was a rumbling in the earth
and a quaking. “What’s that?” cry the af
frighted inhabitants. “What’s that?” The
foundations of the earth were giving way. A
volcano, whose fires had been burning for
ages, at God’s command bursts forth, easily
setting everything aflame, and first lifting
these cities high in the air and then dashing
them down In chasms fathomless. The fires
crtthataruption intershot the dense smoke
and rolled unto the heavens, only to descend
again. And nil the configuration of that
C< i?n Was c ^ an K°d, and where there wn*
ShvJ *t canie a valley, and where then*

cities stood on the top of the salt and sul-

No science ever frightened believers iu Re
velation so much as geology. They feared
that the strata of the earth would contradict
the Scriptures, and then Moses must go un
der. But as in the Dead Sea instance so in
all cases God’s writing on the earth and God’s
writing in the Bible arc harmonious. The
shelves of rock correspond with the shelves
Si to. A " ,eric *n RiWfl Society. Science
digs into the earth and finds deep down the
remains of plants, aud so the Bible announces
Hciencedigs down and says,
‘Marlneanimals next.” and the Bible says,
“Marine animals next.’' Science digs dojrn
and says, “Land animals next.” “Then
comes man!” says science. “Then comes
man!” responds the Bible. Science digs Into
the regions about the Dead Sea, and finds
result of lire and masses of brim
stone, and announces a wonderful geologi
cal formatiou. “Oh, yes,” says the Bible,
“Moses wrote thousands of veal’s ago, *The
Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Go
morrah brimstone and fire from tne Lord
out of heaven,’ and David wrote, ‘He touch
eth the hills aud they smoke.’ ” So I guess
we will hold on to our Bibles a little longer.
A gentleman in the ante-room of the White
House, at Washington, having an appoint
ment with Mr. Lincoln at 5 o’clock jn the
morning, got there fifteen minutes early, and
asked the servant, “Who is talking in the
next room?” “It is the President sir.” “T«
anybody with him?” “No, sir; he is reading
the Bible. He spends every morning from
4 to 5 o’clock reading the Scriptures.”
My text implies that God controls vol
canoes, not with the Tull force of his hand,
but with the tip of his finger. Etna, Strom-
boli aud Vesuvius fawu at his feet like
hounds before the hunter. These eruptions
of the hills do not belong "to Pluto’s realm,as
the ancients thought, but to the divine do
minions. Humboldt counted two hundred
of them, but since then the Indian archipel
ago has been found to have nine hundred of
these great mouthpieces. They are on every
continent and in all latitudes. That earth
quake which shook all America about six or
seven summers ago was only the raving
around of volcanoes rushing against the
sides of their rocky caverns trying to break
out. They must come to the surface, but it
will bo at the divine call. They seem re
served for the punishment of one kind of sin.
The seven cities they have obliterated were
celebrated for one kind of transgression.
Profligacy was the chief characteristic of the
seven cities over which they out their smoth
ering wing: Pompeii, Herc ulaneum, Stabiae,
Adma, Zeboim, Sodom and Gomorrau.
If our American cities do not quit their
profligacy, if in high life and low life disso
luteness does not cease to be a joke and be
come a crime, if wealthy libertinism con
tinues to find so many doors of domestic life
open to its faintest touch, if Russian and
French and American literature steeped in
pruriency does not get banished from the
news stands and ladies’ parlors, God will let
loose some’ of these suppressed monsters of
the earth. Aud l tell these American cities
that it will be more tolerable for Sodom
and Gomorrah in the day of iudgment,
whether that day of judgment be in this
present century or in the closing century
of the earth's continuance. The volcanic
forces are already in existence, but iu the
mercy of God they are chained in the ken
nels of subterraneous fire. Yet let profli
gacy, whether it stagger into a lazaretto or
sit on a commercial throne, whether it laugh
in a faded shawl under the street gas light or
1)© wrapped in the finest array that foreign
loom ever wrought or lapidary over im-
pearled, know right well that there is a vol
cano waiting for it, whether in domestic life
or social life or political life or in the founda
tions of the earth from widen sprang out the
devastations that swallowed the cities of the

But the dragoman was rejoiced when we
had seen enough of this volcanic region of
Palestine, and he gladly tightens the girths
for another march around the horses
which are prancing and neighing for de
parture. Wo are off for the Jordon, only
two hours away. Wo pass Bedouins whose
stern features melt into a smile as we give
them the salutation Salaam Aleikoum,
“Peace be with you,” their smile sometimes
leaving us in doubt as to whether it is
caused by their gladness to see us or by our
poor pronunciation of the Arabic. Oh,
they are a strange race, those Bedouins.

into the river and sank, and the young

axe head as the fact that it was not his own,
and cried, “Alas! it was borrowed,” and
the prophet threw a stick into the river, and
in defiance of the law of gravitation tlio iron
axe head came to the surface and floated
bkea cork upon the water, and kept float

I am so glad that that chariot of Elijah
was not made out of wood or crystal or any
thing ordinarily plooiiant, hut out of Are. aud
yet he went tip without having so much as
to fan himsell. VVlien stepping from amid
Iho foliage of thiwe oleanders aud tamarisks
on Iho hanks of the Jordan, ho put his foot
on the red step of the red equipage, and took
the red reins of vapor in his bands, and
spurred the galloping steeds toward the wide
iqien gateot heaven, it was u scene forever
memorable. !So the hottest afflictions of
your life may roll you heavenward. So the
most burning persecutions, the most fiery
troubles, may become uplifting. Only bo

you urtve up toward tiod and not down to
ward the Dead Sea. When laitimor and Rid

the Gospel singer, was consumed with the
rail train than broke tbrougli Ashtabula
bridge and then took flame, I said, “Another
Eli jail gone up in a chariot of fire!”
But this river is n river of baptisms.
Christ was hero baptized and John baptized
many thousands. Whether on these occa
sions the candidate for baptism and the of
ficer of religion went into this river, and
then while both were standing the water was
dipped in the hand of one and sprinkled upon
the forehead of the ether, or whether the
entire form of the one baptized disappeared
for a moment beneath the surface of the
flood, I do notuow declare. While I cannot
think without deep emotion of the fact that
my parents held me in infancy to the bap
tismal font in the old meeting house at Som
erville and assumed vows on my behalf, I
must tell you now of another mode of bap
tism observed in the river Jordan on that
afternoon in last December, the particulars
of which I now for the first time relate.
It was a scene of unimaginable solemnity.
A comrade in our Holy Land journey rode
up by my side that day and told me that a
young man who is now studying for the
Gospel ministry would like to be baptized by
me In the river Jordan. I got all the facts
I could concerning his earnestness and faith,
and through personal examination made my
self confident he was a worthy candidate.
There were among our Arab attendants two
robeii not unlike those used for American
baptistries, and these were obtained. As
we were to have a large group of different
nationalities present I dictated to my
daughter a few verses aud had copies
enough mode to allow all to sing.
Our dragoman had a man familiar with
the river wade through and across to show
the depth and the swiftness of the
stream aud the most appropriate place for
the ceremony. Then I read from the Bible
the accounts of baptisms in that sacred
stream, and implored the preseuot the
Christ on whose head the dove descended
at the Jordan. Then as the candidate and
myself stepped into the waters Die people
on the banks sang iu full and resounding
voice:
On Jordon's stormy banks 1 stand
Aud cast a wishful eyo
To Caiman’s fair and happy land,
Where uiy possessions lie.
Oh. the trun-porling. rapturous scene
That rises to my slvht:
Bweet Helds arrayed Iu living green
And rivers of delight.
By this time we had reached the middle of
the river. As the candidate sank under tin)
floods and rose again under a baptism in the
name of the Father, and the Son, mid the
Holy Ghost, there rushed through our souls
1 a tide of holy emotion such as we shall not
probably feel again until we step into the
Jordan that divides earth from heaveu. Will
those waters bo deep? Will those tides be
strong? No matter if Jesus steps in with us.
Friends on this shore to help us off. Friends
on theother shore to see us laud. See! They
are coming down the hills on the other side to
greet us. How well wo know their step!
How easily we distinguish their voices! From -
bank to bank we hail them with tears and
they hail us with palm branches. They say
to us, “Is that >*ou, father?” “Is that you
mother?” and we answer by asking, “Is that
you, my darling?” How near they seem, and
Uow narrow the stream that divides usl

and do not use too heavy a broom.
“Alice,” said Lois, “doyou honestly
think sweeping is harder exercise than
playing tenuis.”
I hesitated. “I really don’t know.
One never thinks of hard or easy in ten
nis, tlio game is so interesting; and then
it’s outdoor exercise, aud there's no dan
ger of inhaling dust.”
“Well, for my part,” said Marjorie,“I
like doing work that tells. There is so
much satisfaction in seeing the figures in
the carpet come out brightly under my
broom! Alice,what did you do io make
your reception-room so perfectly splen
diferous? Girls, look here 1 Y'ou’d think
this carpet had just come out of the
warehouse.
“Mother often tells Aunt Hetty,”
said I, “to dip the cud of the broom in
a pail of water in whieli she lias poured
a little ammonia—a teaspoonful to a gal
lon. The ammonia takes off tlio dust
and refreshes the colors wonderfully. We
couldn’t keep house without it,” 1 fin
ished, rather proudly.
“Did you bring somo from home?”
asked Marjorie, looking hurt.
“Why, of course notl I asked your
mother, and site gave me the bottle aud
told mo to take what I wanted."
“A little coarse salt or some damp tea
leaves strewed over a carpet before
sweeping adds ease to the cleansing pro
cess,” said Mrs. Downing, appearing on
the scene and praising us for our thor
oughness. “The reason is that both the
salt and the tea leaves being moist keep
down the light floating dust,which gives
more trouble than the heavier dirt. Hut
now you will all bo better for a short
rest; so come into my little snuggery and
have a gossip and a lunch, ami then you
may attack the enemy again.”—Harper's

SALAU SAL CMS.
Salad sauces, unless properly prepared,
writes Mrs. E. It. Parker in the Courier
Journal, are not only very unpalatable,
but also very unhealthy, a fact that has
given many people the idea that salads
are unsuitable food for general use. Car6
must be given the work, when it will be
found very easy to servo an excellent,
digestible dish, by using either plain
sauce dressing, or mayonnaise sauce, os
the occasion may require. The following
recipes are taken from the best author
ities on the subject, ana are used by the
best cooks:
East India Salad Sauce—Rub the
yolks of two hard-boiled eggs smooth
aud add a tcaspoonful of curry powder,
eight tcaspoonsful of olive oil, gradually,
and two tablespoonsful of tarragon vine
gar ; work until proper consistency.
French Salad Dressing—Put half a
tcaspoonful of salt, aud a fourth of a tea
spoonful of pepper iu a bowl, add then
three tablespoonjful of oil, gradually,
ruli and mix well, then pour in a table-
spoonful of vinegar, aud stir for one
minute.
Cream Salad Dressing—M ish the hard
boiled yolks of three eggs until fine, then
add the yolk of one raw egg, aud beat
smooth, add a tablespoonful of melted
butter, salt and pejiper, beat half a tea
cup of thick cream, stir the mixture all
together and tiieu add two tablcspoons-
ful of strong vinegar.
Plain Salad Dressing—Mix one tea-
spoonful of oil, ono saltspoonful of salt,
aud half as much black pepper, stir
until well mixed, add to tho salad, and
mix again, then add three more table-
spoonsful of oil and stir the salad lightly.
Lastly add a tablespoonful of sharp
vinegar, stir again, and servo.
English Salad Dressing—Rub tho
1 yolks of two hard-boiled eggs and ono
raw one together; when very smooth add
a teaspoonful of salt and half as much
pepper, with u tcaspoonful of dry mus
tard ; by degrees, add six tablespoonsful
of oil and ten of vinegar; mix well, and
add four tablespoonsful of sweet cream,
and set on ice until wanted.
Simple Mayonnaise—Take a bowl, wash
in cold water, and sot on the ice until
well chilled. Heat the yolks of two
eggs and drop in tho bowl; add a tea
spoonful of salt aud usaltspoon of pepper;
add one tablespoonful of oil; licit thor
oughly, and, by degrees, add half a pint
of oil. When it begins to thicken add a
few drops of vinegar at a time, until two
tublespoonfuls have been mixed in.
Mayonnaise sauce, for fancy salads, may
be colored greeu by the addition of spin
ach juice, and red with the vinegar from
pickled beets. Aspec mayonnaise is
made by adding melted aspec jelly to
mayonnaise.

PECULIAR INFATUATION.
Different Method* of Foliowintr (be Injunc
tion “Love One Another.*'
Do men ever full in love with each other?
Women do. Not ion^ ago a young woman
in New Jersey was married to u youthful la
borer on her father’s farm. Sometime al ter-
ward it was discovered that the husband was
a female; the young wife refused, however,
though earnestly entreated by her friends, to
give up her chosen consort. Tho strangest
jwtrt of the discovery was the fact that the
bride knew her husband was a woman before
she was led to the altar.
if men do not exhibit this strange infatua>
tiou lor one of their ov* u sox, they at least
oftentimes give evidence of the (act that they
love one another. There are many iustnucos
on record where one man has given his life
1 or another. There are many more instances
were men have given life to another.
It is a proud possession—the knowledge
that one 1ms saved a precious human life.

son obliged him to take tho horse nearest
tho door; so that everybody was nlikr

from whence it became a proverb, wheq
what ought to be your selection was forced
upon you to say, “Hobson’s choice.”

With the expectation of getting an

please demonstrate ” etc.
The class stood for tho full hour, its

Measuring the Flow of Tides.
A young scientist connected.with tho
United States steamer Fish Hawk, which
is used in experimenting on the sound,
has invented an ingenious instrument for
measuring the fiow of the tides. It is
made of sheet coppsr in tho shape some
what of a fish, aud is about four feet
long. It is, when in use, suspended
from the end of a twenty-foot spar rigged
to the side of the steamer, and extending
at right angles with her, to make the
action of the machine entirely independ
ent of currents that might be caused by
tho steamer. The head of this mechan
ical fish consists of a delicately made re
volving screw or whell, not unlike in
construction and shape the propelling
screw of the steamer. When this fish is
lowered into the water, it turns its head
toward the current, and is held in that
position by the tail, which serves the pur
pose of a rudder. Within the body of
the fish is placed delicate machinery,
which registers its revolutions made by
the revolving screw, and the rapidity of
the revolutions is transmitted
laboratory on the steamer by an
ously constructed electrical apparatus,
thus recording tlio rapidity of the cur
rent. An interesting fact ascertained by
the Government observers on this vessel
is that at tho extremities of tho sound
tho tide begins to flow inward near the
bottom onc and one-half hours before it
begins to tlow in the same direction at
the surface of tha water.—New York
