Sabbath Evening Hymn.


See the shades of eve departing,
Falls the sunlight from the west;
Night her darksolne robe is taking,
Tireu Nature sinks to rest.
o my heart, search well each chamber,
Lest Some sin be lurking there;
Cleanse it from its fuul pollution,
Seek thy maker kncel in prayer.
Soon the light shall fade forever,
Soon the grave our dust shall hide;
Each faint beat the heart is giving
Brings us nearer that dark tide.
Ere the sun shalt gild the morrow,
Ere the stars forget to shine,
We pass the gates of SORROW
Make u.s. Lord, more wholly thine.
Now. while nature sinks, reposing
Whilst the air n stiffness keeps,
Would mourn my sins in sorrow
To that one who never sleeps?
Should deaths angel, cold appearing,
Bear my willing soul away,
Steer me, Lord DER deaths dark billows
Guide me to thy perfect day.

Harris boarding house the fever got so high
that 1t was resolved to have regular pole
raising in the yard Oh yesterday. A pole
seventy feet in length was obtained, a seces-
sion flag nine by twenty three feet III size was
made, a brass band was procured, and speakers
were in readiness. The pole was well raised,
but the flag-cord broke, the ceremony was
postponed until to-day, the crowd dispersed,
and the pole was taken down. The acciden t
turned ont blessing, for the second time the
arrangements We're much more complete, the
weather better, and the crowd larger. The
band was in attendance again, and military
company was added 10 the attractions of yes
terday The pole was raised before, in
Harris front yard, and the flag run up furled.
