Marking the Hours that Shine,
A LESSON FOR GRUMBLERs.
A LESSON ]
BY MRS. y. d. GAGE.

Somewhere in Germany there is 3
dial-plato bearing this inscription:
81 only Mark the Hours that Shine,
and have often thought if we would
set ourselves to work, and instead of
noting down the cloudy days of life in
our memory, we should "mark only the
hours that shine" we should find the
bright days far Out-numbering TIE dark
ones.
So too in our intercourse with the
world, how prone we are to cry out against
its ills, to speak Of humanity as a lump
of sClfshness, and often to declare that
dishonesty, double-dealiug, tricks and
are the rule among our fellows and fraud
not the exceptions.

"Well! what's the matter now2"
"Why, that grocer has gone and put

for it than the other"
"Perhaps he was mistaken in your

"Not he; It's just one Of his tricks

"Nine cents pound, and the other

"Well, wife, it is not worth making a

PSALM OF LIFE.


The following is one Of the best poetic vof
eions Of che forty-sixth Psalm that we hav
ever seen;
God is our refuge In distress
Our safeguard in the widernoss--
Our shelter from the storm.
Though winds ogd waves a conflict make,
Though earth's foundations reel and shake,
We need not feel alarm.
a peaceful river softly flows
In tranquil streams, 90 gladden. those
Who put their trust IN God;
Within his holy place they feel
The comfort Of his presence Btill
Vile oceans roll abroad.
Mhat though the hoothen madlv rage,
And Kingdoms ia fierce war augare7
When God sends forth his voice,
tie makes the glittering spear 10 bend,
Sends peace TO earih's reno test end,
And bids the world rejoice.
BE stiIl and know that he Is God
He rules the earth with iron rod
And sits euthroned above;
Hesdwells with those who own his name,
The God Of Jacob still the same
The God Of peace and love.

Persons making entries by mail OF
otherwise, should. be careful to state

IemplHr8 OF temperance.
The Order In Ohio is in o hourishinp
condition, reporting an increase of
both Subordinate and Social Templars,
and quite an increase Of active mem
bers. And this, too, in the face Of the
opposition Of the self styled champions
Of Temperance, some of whom have
pronounced the Temple cause a failure.
I ask the privilege Of letting the public
know what It has done in a small cir
Gle, and they can judge Of the failure.
In four Temples that 1 have organized
within the last thirteen months, there
we're forty-eight persons who we're more
or less under the power Of Bacchus; all
had the reputation Of getting drunk
Now they are looked upon by both
friends and foes as redeemed men
More than forty families have been
blessed by their labors. Does that
look like a failure? But again, these
four Temples have been the means of
shutting up over fifty doggories, and
have driven the open traffic out Of the
towns where these Temples are located.
Are there not hundreds of places in
Ohio that would be blessed by having
such q failure ia operation in their
mids?
The Grand Temple is making vigor-
Gus efforts to have our cause presented

is a young man, but a true man, and in
South Bend, Indiana, where he resides,
and whore he edits a paper when not en-
gagged in Congressional duties, he is
very highly esteemed. With Trumbull,
Wilson, Burlingame, Schurz and Colfaz
as speakers in the coming campaign in
our State, we hope sufficient light will
be cast upon the principles of the Re.

who have been misled into the Demo

THE METHoDIsTs AND SLAVERY
A number of the Methodist Episcopal
clorgymon have published circular to
their denominations recounting the his
tory Of the Church as connected with
slavery, and stating that they 'felt that
it is our bounden duty to secure, if pos
sible, at the next session Of our General
Conference, which takes place at Buff
falo, New York, May 1st, 1860. q disci-
plinary rule, by which all Shareholders
shall be declared ineligible to member

Slavery is deeply eursiug our nation,
and its malign influence is not less
deadly upon the church Of God; and we
feel IL our duty, as much as ia us lieth,
to remove this curse, and to wipe away
this reproaoh, from the otherwise pure
escutoheons Of our common Method
ism" They desire, therefore that me-
MORALS on the subject be sent to the

we are assured that the wheat crop in

SUPPORT YoUR HOME PAPER.-ThC
Cleveland Herald talks thus sensibly
upon the duty of supporting home pa.
pers:
Reoolloot, if a home weekly paper is
to be supported, home influence must
do it. Every dollar sent to Eastern pa
pers is at the expense Of the local papers.
A county acquires prominence through
its paper more thanin any other way, and
to every one who has county interests
at stake, his home paper is a necessity.
Never will such a man take paper
printed away from home until he is
able to take a second paper. His first
paper will be his home sheet, and he
will so identify his own interests with
that Of his county paper as to con-
slider his subscription as much a matter
Of yearly duty as the payment Of his
taxes.
