With the biting pick and the rending crow,
With the food above and the rock below,
.Wearily, drearily washing ho.
In the summers heat and the winters snow,
Through the long, long day-when the night
wanes slow
Still sharing the mighty-the miners woe,
To wash down, and wash up, and wash out, and

And ever and oft as voice cries =" lol

The bonds that surround Us, like rotten tow,
To press on with the crowd, crying "ho wha'

Is 1t Right to Laugh!

Once in a certain village, as Lwas talking to
number of children, they all laughed. | did
not think it was wicked. | went on. They
laughed again.6SA Md / have yet to learn that
the religion g. ~blessed Savior forbids laugh
ing. This was my answer to good old man
who sespe6rko thuk it terrible thing that /
sho1bkave made those children laugh. Said
this same person in reply, "You can look through
the Bible .Athd ne4gF'hnd that the Savior laugh
ed" :" Do you suppose the Savior never laugh
ed p said 1. lido" Now hold, that had you
journeyed along the highysy where>the Savior
went, and beheld the Savior observe something
remarkably ludicrous, ,yo6 would also have seen
him laughing. | must tell you of dear minis
teral brother who would not laugh because the
Savior did not laugh. He was out milking a
COW once, when his brother caula.to to him and
said, Don't milk that COW p "yfy 2" he in-
quired because you cannot md in the scrip
ture anywhere, that the Savior MIXED a cow I"
That might have chased awey'from him some of
his strange notions. Butt s | have said, / was
preaching to the children when some laughed
| and some might have cried for aught know
concluded, when a man came forward who
looked as if he was a,ball bearer at his own fu-
neral. His face was drawn down, and | thought
the pan very singular looking. All he had to
do was to pronounce the benediction. But
- il gave another poor fellow hard blow,
liding us soundly with the blessing. At the
cfese of the services, he went to a brother, and,
said he, " am very much shocked at the levity
of the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith," | did not think
had been wicked He was ole of those minis
ters associated in your minds with the underta-
ker or the sheriff. When he entered the door of
house, the children would fly for safety. If
that is the religion OF Christ, have not parti-
Gle of it. Now, want to say something about
the Bible. have heard you sing: " Don't be
discouraged for Jesus is your friend" This is
sweet thing. want to tell you story in
connection with it. When | had my Sabbath
school in Buffalo, there little boy there
who had got scolding from his mother. He
had little dog which he had been whipping
few moments before. They both were standing
under tree near by the school. Misery loves
comp ny, AID it was eminently dogmatical for
the boy under the circumstances So he began
to sing, Doggy, don't be discouraged, for Jesus
is your friend.' He was right. The great Sa-
vior is the friend even of those poor dumb chill
dren.-Rer. j. Hyatt Smih.

MARYLAND FOR DoUeLAs.-The Washington
correspondent of the Sacramento Union saws
Gu Friday night all the Democratic members OF
the Maryland Legislature paid Senator Douglas
visit. good many Senators and members
of Congress were also present, and grand COL
ation was served up. Quite an incident oc-
Cured during the evening, which put the COM
pany in the height of enthusiasm towards the
distinguished Senator. 1t was caused by the
reception of the news of the nomination by ac-
clamaton Of Thomas A. Hendricks, for Governor
of Indiana, and the instruction of the delegates
of the Convention to vote for Douglas at Charles
ton. It's great victory. Hendricks the nom
inee for Governor, is one of the strongest Doug
las men in the country, although until recently
an Admins tration office-holder. He was bold
and defiant in his opinions while here, but pro-
scription never reached him.
