The l,thmus Of Panama, or, as it is
sometimes called, Dlricn, connects North
and South America, and is the great thor

the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. Steam

THE POOR.

bi CLARA AUGUSTA,
God keep the honeless poor,
Who wander through the land.
Seeking the aims the rich man gives
Often with grudging hand:
Remember lonely hearts.
And send adown ray
ofhope and love. the dim foretas,e
OF heavens eternal day
The pale faced, weary poor
That man is richly blcst,
Who takes meek hearted Charity
To be his bosom guest;
And TO his fellows ever lends
A pity broad and free,
That gives, as liberal as the streams
Give to the hungry sea.
God Keep the friendlcss poor,
And, reh man, let thy gold
Go forth to clothc tho naked ones
Who trcmble in the coldi
And unto heaven thy deeds shall kni,
a strong. uEfailing cord
For "he that give,h to the poor
Bu, lcndcth to the Lord"

surrounded by the Native Indians howev-
or, and, though the food and water they
gave us was of rather questionable quail
ty, yet in our ia mished condition we could
not do better than to shut our eyes and
eat. We had bananas, oranges cocoa,
nuts, coffee, lemonade, chocolate, &c, in
abundance. We were obliged to pay ten
cents glass for rain water, five cents a.
piece for crackers, two dollars for a chick
en-, and everything else in the same pro.
portion These articles were sold us by
half naked Indians, to whom the accident

There was but one room, in the center Of
which the fire was built, the smoke making

existed in abundance. Not long after
daylight the coal train arrived from Pana-

through the mud We reached the cars,
which were open coal cars, and miscrably
dirty. Before reaching the summit, the
cars nearly stopped, though two locomo-

out, but the streets arc very narrow, as its
founders did not anticipate the use Of
wheeled vehicles. A large and important
part of the city, called Cicnego, is situated
outside of the walls and near the railroad
depot the inhabitants of which are princi-
pally Jamaica negroes, Since the railroad
has been built across the Isthmus, the city
has gradually lost its Importance, and il
slowly declining. The inhabitants speak
with regret Of the times when thousands Of
people were encamped in and around the
city for several days at a time, waiting the
arrival of a steamer for then they grew

the passengers go from the cars immcdi-
atcly into the steamer, if the tide permits,

only the rooms and tables were all occu-
pied. buth he was obliged to chalk out places

RULES FOR HOME EDUCATION.
The following are worthy of being print
ed in letters OF gold and being placed in a
conspicuous position in cyory household
1.--From your chilIrons earliest in.

promise.
iii you tell child to do anything,
show him how to do it, and see that it is
done.
5.--Always punish your children for
wiltully disobcying you, but never punish
in anger.
6.-Never let them perceive that they
can vcx you, or make you lose your self
command.
III they give way to petulance and
temper, wait till they are calm, and thcr
gently reason with them on the improprie
ty of their couduct.
s-Remember that little present pun
ishment, when the occasion arises, is much
more cfftctual than tho threatening of a
greater punishment should the fault be re
newcd.
/ 9.-Nevcr give your children anything
because they cry for it,
l0.-On no account allow them to do at
one time what you have forbidden, under
the like circumstances, at another.

easy way to appear good, is to be good
l2.-Accustom them to make their little

VERY GooD.-Eycry one knows what
keeping farm in order means, 1t does
not mean merely to keep the soil in a
fertile and growing condition; but it ap
plies to everything on the farm; the build
lngs, the fences, the fruit trees, the farm
ing implements, particularly the latter ;
for what man can do good job with poor
tools And what in more, look at the la,
Dor. Every one knows that it takes nearly
twice the amount of labor to plow a field
with a poor plow that it does with a good
one, and when it is plowcd, it is not more
than half done If man has poor tools
they are all the time getting ont Of order,
and the time lost in repairing and the la
Dor lost in working will pay for good and

SUPPOSE liar says shat it is not in his

therefore excuse him. No, because his in
ability to reform lies in his nature, which
he has no desire to restrain or conquer
The thing that is done, and the thing that
causes the thing that is done, being both
from the root Of sin, are two evils which
cannot excuse each other What though
the Ethiopian cannot change his skin, nor
the leopard his spots ? It's because you
have learned 10 do evil that you cannot

If once wandered on yon mountain
top, and Jesus climcd up and caught me,
and put me on his shoulders, and carried
me home, I cannot and dare not doubt
that he is my shepherd. If had belonged
to some other sheep owner he would not
have sought me. And from the fact that
he did seek, learn that he must be nv
shepherd. Did think any man convinced
me Of sin, or that any human power had
converted me, should fear l was that
mans sheep and he was my shopherd.-
Could l trace my deliverence to the hand
of a creature, should think that some
creature might be my shepherd ; but since
ne who has been reclaimed of God must
and will confess that God alone has done
it, and will ascribe to his free grace, and
to that alone, his deliverance from sin,
such one will feel persuaded that the
Lord must be his shepherd, because he
brought him, he delivered him, he snatch
ed him out of the jaw of the lion and out
Of the paw Of the bear.

WHEN the light of Gods grace comes
into your heart, it is something like the
opening of the windows Of and old cellar
that has been shut up for many days
Down in that cellar, which has not been
opened for many months, arc all kinds of
loathsome creatures, and a few sickly
plants blanched by the darkness. The
walls are dark and damp by the trail of
reptiles; it is horrid filthy place in which
on one would willingly enter. You may
walk there in the dark very securely, and
except now and then for the touch of some
Shiny creature, you would not believe the
place was so bad and filthy. Open those
shutters, clean a pane of glass, let little
light in, and now see how thousand nox-
ious things have made misplace their habi-
tation. Sure, twas not the light that made
this place SO horrible, but it was the light
that showed how horrible it was before.
So let Gods grace just open window and
let the light into mans soul, and he will
stand astonishcd to see at what distance
he is from God
