U-A Methodist Journal INDUCES III some Ia
mentations over the change which has came over
Methodism during the past quarter Of a century.
Among other things, it says: Home religion
among the Methodists is no longer what it once
was. Family praise is almost wholly abandoned.
twenty-five years ago, a Methodist family might
be known in any neighborhood, by the morning
and evening song of praise, in which father, mo-
Their, and children took part. Who ever hears
such a thing now?'

men, to commemorate the worth and services
of the Father of his Country, having reached
1853 feet, Of the STA according to its plan, at
a cost of about $4,000, needs your prompt
and Jealous support to raise funds, now nearly
exhausted, to carry it on after the present
month of June. Unless contributions are made,
this great National work must be discontinued,
if the Board of Managers, who render their
services gratuitously DO not incur a debt upon
their own responsibility. Is their patriotism
to be SO taxed, or shall this work begun in
patriotism, be a monument of National dis.
grace? Surely there are a sufficient number
OF noble-hearted patriots in the land to prevent
this!
Nothing but a small contribution from all,
IN proportion to their means, if only from a
dime TO a dollar each, 10 wanted for the com.
pletion of the Monument. The question il
asked, will not such a contribution be made bv
every one! Will the people of this great
country leave TO a few the honor, after long
years of trial and toll, Of erecting a Monument
worthy of the great and good Washington; or
shall it be a National Monument from the whole
people! That the Monument should stop
short Of one-third Of the plan proposed, no pa.
triotic citizen can believe!
But the time for making contributions can
be no longer delayed. Let every citizen ask
himself, have l discharged and contributed my
obligation towards the Father of my Country
have ! contributed my share to the Monument
to be raised in his honor! If not, let him at
make his contribution, however small.
Let it be made singly or by associations. But
be sure it be made. Delay is hazardous to the
great undertaking. The payment can be made
to your Postmaster, or whoever may be most
convenient to you. so that the duty Of an Ame-
rican citizen be discharged. Every patriot ci-
Eizen surely will aid in forwarding the money
received for the advancement of the great
work. Will he not render that aid now?
The Board of Managers confidently trust
this appeal will not be made in vain,

One hasty orison, whirld me away
To limbo, lying-I wist not where

And crost by many a may track,
One didn't know how to get on or back

OF skapeless, bodiless, tailless forms
(Like bottled-up babes, that grace the room

Some had through half century run,
Though they hadn't q leg to stand upon
Others, more merry, as just beginning.
Around on point of lGaO were spinning
Or balanced aleft, ;twixt Bill and .AnStrer,
Lead at each end, like tight rope dancer.
