And left her thy foot prints there's

Whose mouth, instiate, gaped for more.
And thas, said I, the sea Of Tine
Its waves doth roll,
And all the footprints man hath left
The marks Of soul, otlcEai ! a7

"That was the true Light which
lighteth every man that cometh into

could say, II desire toSknow the

A LIGHT IN THE WINDOW.

A poor poy Struggling manIuuf
for the support of his widowed
mother, was one night very late in
reaching his home The mother
anxiously inquired why he was so
late. He replied, ''it was so dark,
that 1 lost my way "Then after
this" said she, 81 will put light in
the window for you" -E sno i-r
The boy grew up, and leaving his
home, engaged in the hustle and
strife of this busy world. After
some years he returned to the
scene of his youthful tolls and sought
for his mother. A neighbor told
him that his mother had died, and
had left special message for him
with friend. Upon mquiring for it
he found it was, ''Give my love to
Edward, and tell him that / have
gone to heaven, and will set a light in
the window for him."
You may not be able to say that
your sainted mother left such a
word for you, and yet you will no
doubt feel that the history of the
poor boy is similar in many respects
to your own. You too have strug-
gled with difficulties, been overtaken
BY darkness and storms, and borne
the frown and neglect of the world;
but have been blessed with mother
| to alleviate your tolls, and cheer your
heart by her sympathy and love-
Was she not a Christian mother, who
before your heart became acquainted
with the real griefs of life, bowed of
ten at the throne of heavenly grace,
and commended you to God, pray
ing that you might be kept from the
Evil One, and become a member of
the family of Christ.
And as YOU grew into manhood,
and pushed out into the world did
she not pray more earnestly from a
| thrice anxious heart that her former
desiaes might be realized, and you
be made a subject of saving gracet
Ifso, she now in heaven is light in
the window to you. While she was
with you, no doubt you felt that hel

Beware of Land Sharks.

If there is one class of persons above all
others who deserve the excecrations of every
honest heart, 1t is that class OF Substitute
brokers" who are daily fleeing the volunteer
by enlisting him for mere paltry sum and
then selling him out as a substitute for from
$500 to $3.50. We do not say that all substi-
tute brokers are of this class but we insist that
our city is cursed with such unprincipled
knaves, who first invite honest but simple
minded young men to crink at their expense,
and then inveigle them to put their necks into
the moose, paying them not one half the sum
which they receive for them as substitutes. II
the young men who consent TO expose their
lives to rebel bullets could receive the money
paid by those whose places they are made TO
oil, discounting reasonable commission for
doing the business, no reasonable objection
could be offered to the transaction; but for q
lot Of unprincipled knaves to fstten upon the
blood, bones and sinews of our brave boys, be-
cause they can, under the influence of bad H.
quor or in some other way, practice upon them
game Of vile deception, is an outrage calling
for abatement.
We caution all young men, coming into the
city, against the flags hung out to entrap them.
Let them first ascertain the character of the
places displaying such lures. If they will call
at the Mayors Office, or upon any respectable
citizen, they can be put upon the track to
receive the full amount Of bounty which their
services will command. Let them avoid the
"brokers" as they would the gates of hell"
1t is time the crying evil alluded should be
broken up or the whole work Of enlisting will
become tainted with fraud, and patriotism it.

To the Editor Of iAe Press
You editors and others who live in anticipa-
ton OF a reduction of the price of beef, fear
will be disappointed. In ride OF seventy
miles through the stock raising region OF this
state, 1 find by observation and inquiry that
there Is not more than one-half the usual a.
mount of fat cattle in the hands of the pro.
ducers, most of them having turned their at
tention to sheep-raising.
The hay crop is about one-third more than
last year, and the quality much better. The
apple crop will be light, and the potatoes will
be first rate.
At this place one hundred bushels of shoe
pegs are manufactured daily; two large fac
tories are engaged in the manufacture of hos.
iery; 400 tons of straw and meadow hay are
used for the manufacture of straw board.
Such has been the sharpness Of the drouth
that 1t is feared the roots of the grass will be
killed. / have been fully repaid for taking the
additional time requisite for the journey to the
White Mountains by private carriage. Yes

acres which is nine hundred feet from the base +;
to the curious it will well repay for visit to
Its limpid waters.

Of the different towns which l have passed
through.
Not more than one-half the breadth Of land

that has been in previous years. ABEL.
