"ONLY WAITlNG."

A very aged man IN an almshouse was ask
hat he was doing now? He replied, "Ol
aiting."
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown;
Till the night of earth is faded
From the heart, once full of day;
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and grey.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home,
For the summer time is faded.
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers gather quickly
The last ripe hours of my heart,
For the bloom of life is withered,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered,
Weary. poor, and desolate.
Even now / hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away;
If they call me am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown,
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam is flown.
Then from out the gathered darkness,
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

A WORD TO THE W1sE.-We must insist
upon our subscribers who are in arrears, to
pay up. We are nearly ou. Of supplies and
must have means. There is no use in shilly.
shallyine about matter Of this sort. Our
town subscribers know where our office is,
and those at distance can very easily avail
themselves Of the pos, office for forwarding
their back dues. There is precious little
fun in working for nothing, snd throwing
in the materials.
TThe above is from one of our exchanges.
