CHAPTER IX.-THE Krss * TuK DARx.
After waiting six long hours
And with hunger almost dead
News came that the track was mended
And the train soon went ahead
Soon We passed place called JohnstovuN
filled with iron fOundries
where the people all were working
Like lot Of busy bees.
Then we came to a great tunpeI:I
Near me sat pretty miss
And when all was dark as midnight
Quick from her / stole kiss
''Ohi" she cried, the people shouted,
And, before we reached this light
was peerlng through the window
In my seat again all right.
After passing the great tunnel.
To place we quickly came
Upon the highest mountain top,
And CressOn Is its name;
Many people in the summer
To this pleasant spot repair,
To enjoy its cooling waters
And its Purs, fresh mountain alr.
At Altoona we took breakfast.
1t was one o'clock or more;
such lot Of hungry mOrtals
l ne'or laid eyes on before
Ali the good things on the tabla
In short time did disappear;
And they all shouting wildly
''Quickly bring more breakfast here.H -

Signs OF Grace.
By ALICE CARY.

ny ALICE CARY
Come thou, my heavy soul, and lay
Thy sorrows all aside,
And let us see if so we may,
How God is glorifed.
Faroet the storms that darkly beat
For0et the woe and crime,
And tie of consolation sweet
posie for the time.
some blessed token everywhere,
Doth grace to men allow,
This daisy sets her silver share
Beside the rustic's plow.
The wintry wind that naked strips
The bushes, stoopeth low,
And round their rugged arms enwraps
The feeces of the snow.
The blackbird, idly whistling till
The storms begin to pour,
Finds ever with his golden bin
hospitable door.
From love and loves protecting power,
We cannot go apart,
The shadows round the fainting flower
Rebuke the dropping heart.
Our striyings are not reckoned less
Although we fail TO win.
The lily wears a royal dress
And yet she doth not spin.
SO. Soul, forget thy evil days,
Thy sorrow lay aside,
And strive to sec in all His ways
How God is giorihed.
