Night Musings.

In the still silence ofthe voiceless night,
When, chased BY airy dreams, the slum9ers nee
Whom in the darkness doth nv spirit seek,
D God, but thee?
And II there be a weight upon my breast,
Some vague impression Of the day toregOne,
Scarce knowing what its, ay to thee,
And lay it down.
Or lift be the heavine& that comes
In token Of anticipated i'll,
Nv bosom takes no heed Of whatitis Is,
Since it's thy will
For, on in spite Of past and present care,
Or anything besides, how jOyfully
Passes that almost solitary hour,
Nv God, with thee!
More tranquil than the stiffness Of the night,
More peaceful than the silence Of that hour,
More blest than anything, my spirit lies
Beneath thy power.
For what is there on earth that desire,
Ofall that il can give or take from me,
Or whom In heaven doth my spirit seek,
o God but thee?

1t is strange that about the first
words people learn to write, they
always write eworst-thcir own names.
About one-half of mankind take
pride in making their names illegible.
AS punishment, they usually find
themselves wrongly named in print.
Serves them right, except when they
figure in police reports. When you
write to an editor get some one else
to sign your name, if you have a
fancy signature Of your own.

Cecil County, Md, at the great age
