clouds return in the rain. A column of
illumined cloud led the Israelites across the
wilderness. In the book of Job, Eliliu, watch¬
ing the clouds, could not understand why
they did not fall or why they did not all roll
together, the laws of evaporation and con¬
densation then not being understood, and he
cries out: ‘Dost thou know the balancing of
the clouds!” When I read my text it sug¬
gests to me that the clouds are the Creator’s
equipage, wheels, and their whirling masses are the
and the tongue of the cloud is the
pole of the celestial vehicle, and the winds
are the harnessed steeds, and God is the
Royal occunant and driver “who maketh
the clouds His chariot.”
To understand the psalmist's meaning in
the text you must know that the chariot of
old was sometimes a sculptured brilliancy
made out of ivory, sometimes of solid silver,
and rolled on two wheels which were
fastened to the axle by stout pins, and the
awful defeat of Oenomaus by Pelops was
caused by the fact that a traitorous charioteer
bad inserted a lim-h pin of wax instead of a
linch p;n of iron. All of the six hundred
chariots of Pharaoh lost their finch pins in
the Red Sea, for the Bible says: “The Lord
took off their wheels.” Look at the long
flash of Solomon’s fourteen hundred chario s,
and the thirty thousand chariots of the
Philistines. If you have ever visited the
buildings where a king or queen beeps the
coaches of state, as 1 have, you know that
kings and queens have great varieties of
turnout The keeper tells you: “This is the
state carriage, and used only ou great
occasions.” “This is the coronation
carriage, day and in it the king rode
on the he took the throne.” “In this the
Queen went to open Parliament” “This is
the coach in -which the Czar and the Sultan
rode on the occasion of their visit.” All
costly and tesseiated and enriched and em¬
blazoned are they, and when the driver takes
the reins of the ten white horses in his hands,
and amid mounted troops and bands in full
force sounding the national air, the splendor
starts and rolls on under arches entwined
with banners, and amid the huzza of hun¬
dreds of thousands of spectators the scene is
memorable. But my text puts aii such oc¬
casions into insignificance, as it represents
the King of the Universe coming to the door
of his palace, and the gilded vapors of the
heavens rolling up to His feet, and He stop¬
ping in in and His taking the reins of the galloping
winds hand starts in triumphal ride
under the aroh s of sapphire, and over the
atmospneric the clouds highways of opal andchrvsolite,
His chariot.
My hearers, do not think that God belit¬
tles Himself when he takes such conveyance.
Do you know that the clouds are among the
most wondrous and majestic things in the
whole universe? Do you know that they are
flying Jakes His and rivers and oceans? God
waved hand over them and said: “Come
up higher!” and they obeyed the mandate.
That cloud instead of being, as it seems, a
small and high gathering is of vapor a few yards wide
and is ready seven or eight miles across,
15,000 a mountain, from its base to its top
feet, 18,000 feet, 20,000 feet, and Cu 1
through David with ravines 5000 feet deep. No,
did not make a fragile or unworthy
representation of God in the text when he
suggested spoke of the in clouds as His chariot. But as I
the case of an earthly king, He
has His morning cloud chariot aiid evening
cloud chariot—tlie cloud chariot in which
He rode down to Sinai to open the law, and
the cloud chariot in which he rode down to
Tabor to honor the gospel, and the cloud
chariot in which He will come to judgment
When He rides out in His morning chariot
at th s season, about six o’clock, he puts got-
den coronets on the dome of cities, and sil-
vers the rivers, and out of the dew makes a
diamond ring for tlie linger of every grass
blade, and bids good cheer to invalids who in
the night said: “Would Go lit were morn-
ing.” From this morning cloud chariot He
distributes light, light for the earth and light
for the heavens, light for the land and light
for the sea, great bars of it, great wreathes
of it, great columns of it, a world full of it.
Hail Him in worship ns every morning He
drives out in His chariot of morning cloud,
and cry with David:
“My voice shalt Thou hearin tliemorning;
in the morning will I direct mv prayer unto
The# a nd look up •” I rejoice in these Scrip-
ture ejaculations: “My “Joy cometh in the morn-
ing.” soul waiteth for Thee more than
they that watch for the liiorninr." “It I take
tlie wing of the morning," “The eyelids of
the morning,” “The morning cometh.'’“Who
is she that loo'-eth forth as the morning:”
“His going forth is prepared as the morn-
ing. As the morning spread pn the mount-
ams,” 1 hat thou shouldst visit him every
rnorning.” What a mighty thing the ICing
thro ws irom His chariot when lie throws us
the morning!
Yea; IT He , has ins evening . cloud .... chariot. . It
is made out of the saffron and the gold end
toe mid purple an i the orange and the vermilion
p’a^e up-hot flame of the sunset That is tlie
where the splendors that have marched
through the day, having ended the proves-
sion, throw down the torches and set the
he a vens on fire. That is the only hour of the
dav when the atmosphere is clear enough to
let us see the wall of the heavenly city with
its twelve manner of precious stones, from
foundation of jasper to middle strata
of sarditis and on up to the co-
ping of amethyst At that hour with-
out any of Klisha’s supernatural vision
we see horses of fire and chariots of fire and
banners of fire and ships of Are and cities of
fire, seas of fire, and it seems as if the last
conflagration had begun and there is a world
on fire. When God makes these clouds His
chariot let us all kneel. Another day past,
what have we done with it? Another day
dead and this is its gorgeous catnfa'que.
Now is the time for what David called the
“evening “evening sacrifice,” or D/miel called tlie
oblation.” Oh! oh! what a chariot
made out of evening cloud! Have you
hung over the taffrail on tho ocean
and seen this cloudy vehicle roll over
the pavements of a calm summer

A cloud, whether it belongs to the cirrhus,
the clouds that float the highest: or belongs
to the stratus, tlie central ranges; or to the
cumulus, the lowest ranges, seems to move
slowly along the sky if it moves at all. But
many clouds limited go at a speed that would make
a vestibule lightning express train
seem lethargic, so swift is the chariot of our
God: yea, swifter than the storm, swifter
than the light. Yet a child ten years old has
been known to reach up, and with the hand
of prayer t ike the courser of that chariot
by the bit and slow it up, or stop it, or turn
it aside, or turn it back. The boy Samuel
stopped it. Elijah stopped it. Hezekiah
stopoed it. Daniel stopped it. Joshua
stopped it. Esther stopped it. Ruth stopped
it. Hannah stopped it. Mary stopped it.
My father stopped it. My mother stopped it.
My bath-seboois sister stopped it. YVe have in our Sab-
children who again and again
and again have stopped it.
Notice that these old-time chariots, w hich
my text uses for symbol, had what we would
call a high dash-board at the front, but were
open behind. And the king would stand at
the dash-board and drive with his own hands.
And I am glad that He, whose chariot the
clouds are, drives Himself. He does not let
natural law drive, for natural law is deaf. He
does not let fate drive, for fate is merciless.
But our Father King drives Himself,
and He puts His loving hand on the reins of
the flying coursers, and He has a loving car
open to the cry of all who want to catch His
attention. Oh, I am so glad that my Father
drives and never drives too fast, and never
drives too slow, and never drives otT tlie
precipice, and that He controls,by a bit that
never breaks, the wildest and most raging
circumstances. 1 heard of a ship captain
who put out with bis vessel with a large
number of passengers from Buffalo on Lake
Erie, very early in the season and while
there was much ice. When they were we 1
out the captain saw to his horror that the ice
was closing in on him from ail sides, and he
saw no way out from destruction and death.
Ho called into the cabin the passengers and
all tho crew that could he spared from their
posts, and told them that the sh p must be lost
unless God interposed, and although he was
not a Christian man he said: “Let us pray,"
and they ail knelt asking God to come for
their deliverance. They went back to the
deck, and the man at the wheel shouted: “All
right, cow-.” cap'n, it’s blowing nor by nor’ west
While the prayer was gfiing on in the
cabin the wind changed and blew the ice out of
the way. The mate asked “‘Shall 1 put on more
sail, cap’n?” “No!” responded the captain.
“Don’t touch her. Someone else is managing
this ship.”
Oh, men and women,shut in on all sides
by icy troubles and misfortunes, in earnest
prayer put all your affairs in the hands of
God. You will come out all right. Some one
e'se is managing the ship! It did not merely
p- appen so that when Leyden was beseiged,
p nd the Duke of Alva felt sure of his tri¬
umph, suddenly the wind turned, and the
sw-olien waters compelled him to stop
the siege, and the city was saved.
God that night drove along the
coast of the Netherlands in a black chariot
of storm cloud. It did not merely happen so
that Luther rase from the place where he
was sitting just in time to keep from lieing
crushed by a stone that the instant after fell
on the ve ry spot. Had he not escaped where
would have been the Reformation? it did not
merely happen so that Columbus
that was saved Coating from drowning by an Other- oar
was on the waters.
wise, who wou.d have unveiled America?
It Hid not merely happen so that when
George Washington was in Hrooklyn a great
fog settled down overall the place where this
church stands, and over all tnis end of Long
Island, and that under that fog he and his
army escaped from the clutches of Generals
Howe and Clinton, in a chariot of mist and
cloud the God of American Independence
rode along here. Oil that pillow of consolation
I put down my head to sleep at night.
On that solid foundation 1 build when i see
this nation in political paroxysm every four
years, not because they care two cents about
whether it is high tariff,or low tariff, or no
tariff at all, but only whether the Demo-
crats or the Republicans shall have
the salaried offices. Yea, when Eu-
ropean wondering nations are Russia holding their breath, will
whether or Germany
launch a war that will incarnadine a con-
tinent. I fall hack on the faith that my
Father drives. Yes, I east this as an anchor,
and plant this as a column of strength, ami
lift this as a telescops, and build this as a
fortress, tion and propose without any pertuiba-
to lauuch upon an unknown future trium*
pliant He in the fact that my Father drives. Yes.
drives very near. I know that many of
the clouds that you see in summer are far
off , the bases of some of them five miles
above the earth. High on the highest peaks
of the Andes travelers have seen clouds far
higher than where they were standing,
Gay Lussac, after he had risen in a
balloon twenty-three thousand feet, still
saw clouds above him.
But there are clouds that touch the earth
and discharge their rain, and, though tlie
clouds out of which Gods chariot is made
may sometimes be far away, often they are
close by, and they touch our shoulders, and
they touch our homes, and they touch us all
over. 1 have read of two rides that the
Lord took in two different charioU
of clouds, and o' another that He
will take. One day, in a chariot of
clouds that were a mingling of fog and
smoke and lire, God drove down to the top
of a terrible crag fifteen hundred feet high,

were ten volleys of thunder, each of the ten

His chariot of cloud and drove up
the hills of heaven. They were
dark and portentous clouds that made that
chariot at the giving of the law. But one
day He took another ride, and this t me down

L0YE IN CHICAGO.
A Weird Romance of the Windy
City.
[From the Chicago Tribune.]
“Miss Maud,” exclaimed Harold Yere
do Vere, and lria voice vibrated with tlie
earnestness of a man pleading for an¬
other extension of ninety days, “I have
never courted notoriety, nor sought to
bring myself prominently beiore the
public in any way inconsistent with the
dignity of a self-respecting man, have
“I believe not, Mr, Vere do Yere,”
softly do replied Miss Petherbridge. “To
you justice, I have never looked upon
you as a gentleman of inordinate ambi¬
tion for mere fame. ”
“No,” said tlie young man, with
proud humility, “you have never seen
me among the vice presidents on tho
platform at a reception given to any
famous pugilist, and my portrait does
not glare at you from the advertising
columns of every paper in the country
as celebrated the distinguished manufacturer of a
$3 shoe. 1 do not thirst for
tlie applause' of the fickle multitudes,
Miss Maud,” he continued, with a far¬
away look in his eye, “and yet I confess
to you that I cherish a deeply-rooted
pride. To you it may seem vanity or
weakness, but from my childhood I have
been proud of the name I bear.”
Tiie young man loosened his collar a
trifle and went on;
“The name of Vere de Vere is an old
and honorable one. It was well known
in Old World annals for centuries back,
and has never been associated with any¬
thing Vere de dishonorable, unmanly or un-
Verean. In the history of this
country, while it may not have played a
strikinglv conspicuous part, it has always
been found on the side of the upright,
the chivalrous and tho correct. Tlie
name of Vere de Vere, Miss Maud, is in
itself a heritage to a young man.”
“It is, indeed, a most prepossessing
name,” murmured the fair young girl.
“Iam very happy to hear you say so,
Miss Maud,” exclaimed the youth, in
an agitated real voice, “and this brings me
to the purport of my visit this
evening. It has occurred to me as not
unlikely that the name of Vere de Vere
may commend itself to you as a not al¬
together undesirable substitute for that
of Petherbridge. I never think of your
name, Miss Maud, without a thrill of—
of sympathy and an uncontrollable long¬
ing to replace it with that of Vere
de-”
“Excuse me for interrupting you, Mr.
Vere _ de Vere,” said the young lady,
with a somewhat frosty smile, “but may
I ask you if your prospects in life will
enable you to maintain in becoming
style the dignity of your family name ?"
“H’m—Miss Maud, my family name
is, as I may have already intimated, my
principal “Mr. heritage-”
Vere de Vere,” again interrupt¬
ed Miss Petherbridge iu a voice and
manner I deeply decidedly business-like, “while
am sensiblo of tlie honor you
do me in offering to confer such a heri¬
tage upon me, it is my duty to tell you
that I have received a similar offi-r from
Mr. Swackhammer. The name he pro¬
poses as a substitute for mine is not as
musical as yours, but at the bottom of a
bank check it is good for about six fig¬
ures, Mr. Vere de Vere, and I have con¬
cluded—must you go so early ? Good
night.”
With a crumpled and forlorn aspect
Mr. Harold Vere do Vere loft the Peth¬
erbridge the mansion, and melted away in
gloaming, four feeling that his family
name was sizes too large for him.

Brashes of Infinite Variety.
“The manufacture of brushes,” re¬
marked a maker of those indispcns tb'e
articles to a New York Sun reporter a
few days ago, “is an entirety modern
industry. Tlie ancients, with all tlieir
boasted skill and wisdom were ignorant
of both the broom and brush as we know
them, or anything brush resembling them. In
lien of the and broom they em¬
ployed rude instruments of clumsy
manufacture and material, and un¬
manageable bulk and weight.
“The modern brush, of infinite variety
and graceful forever.’ design, is ‘a well-made thing of beauty brush

is a work of perfect skill and high
mechanical art. 'J his a 1 lunct of our
modern civilization being u-ed for ev ery
conceivable purpose, is accordingly made
of every kind of material. Wire,rubber,
wood and ttie hair of the hog, ho se,
badger, sable, squirrel, bear and many
other animals are used in biu-h making-.
The fine hair of the little Egyptian
ichneumon is largely employed in mak¬
ing artists’ brashes.
“Few people are aware of the con¬
summate skill required in the production
of a good made; brush. the All tine brushes are
hand wood work alone being
done by machinery. Bristles are more
frequently used than any other kind of
hair.
“Upon their arrival at the factory the
hairs are carefully bleached and sorted.
The latter is doae by passing tlie hairs
through combs of various si/es. The
thick hairs are lodged between the teeth
of a line comb, and are thus quickly
separated from When hairs sorted of .‘■mallei- circum¬

“The process of brush making has
made but little progress in the past
century, so far as the invention of new
machinery for expediting the manu¬
facture is concerned. Of course, machin¬

parts of a brush, but beside the drill for
boring and the lathe used in turning the
ornamental rims and handles, no assist¬

contrivance.”
Landscape Gardening 1 .
The art of the florist has made won¬
derful advances of late. A conspicuous
illustration is furnished from a New
England State. Thousands of persons
have recently visited the Denvers (Mass.)
hospital grounds. The object in view
by the many strangers is to see the mar¬
velous flower beds designed and ar¬
ranged by the florist and gardener, Ktore
Tassinari, which are no w in prime con¬
dition, and rival anything of their kind
in the l nited States. The largest de¬
sign is a Chinese pagoda, seventeen feet
high, with a dome supported by six pil¬
lars, and an archway beneath high
enough to pass under without stooping.
There are three fountains and thirty va¬
rieties of plants. The front of tlie base
lias a calendar of growing plants in port¬
able boxes and the back a shield, flags
and draperies. Florists from far and near
have pronounced this design the best
they ever saw. A solar clock or sun-dial
attracts much attention, as it accurately
tells the time of day by a pole of grow¬
ing plants degrees placed at an angle of forty-
seven and pointing to the north
star. The shadow falls on floral numer¬
als in the rim of a horseshoe-shaped bed
of plants. There are numerous beds of
lesser note,and several photographs have
been taken of the principal ones.

He turned sorely against his

YVhat Push Can Acfomplish.
The first experience of a millionaire
merchant of Philadelphia on his arrival
in this country aptly illustrates what
push can accomplish. When he stepped said,
ashore from the sailing vessel, he
“I was without money or friends. I
spoke to a man on the wharf, and asked
him what to do. Ho replied, ‘Work 9
young man. Have you any motto?
‘No,’I said. ‘What do you mean?’ He
Raid, ‘Every man must have a motto.
Now think of one. Go out and hunt for
work.’
“I started, thinking of a motto. As I
walked along the street I saw painted ‘That on
a door the word ‘Push.’ I said,
shall bo my motto.’ I did push at that
door, and entered an office. I was asked
what I wanted. I said, ‘Work, and the
word on your door gave me not only a
motto, but confidence.’
•‘My manner pleased tho man. He
asked ine many questions, all of which
were answeret 1 promptly. He said at
last: ‘ I want a bov of “push,” and as I
you have adopted that for your motto,
will try you.’
“He did. My success followed, and
tho motto that made my fortune will
make that of others.”
The word is old, short, and crisp, but
it expresses everything, and lias carved
out fortune and fume for hundreds oi
thousands of poor and obscure boys.—
