If you cannot on the ocean
Sail among the swiftest feet
Rocking on tho highest billows,
Laughing at the storms you meet;
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the5bsy,
You can lend hand to help them,
~ AS they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey,
Up the mountains steepSand high,
You can stand within the valley.
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measure,
AS they slowly pass along,
Though they may forget the singer.
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver,
Ever ready to command, "a
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Ger the erring you canweeP,
You can be true disciple,
Sitting at the sayiour's feet.
If you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself . soldier true,

There,sno work for you to do;
When the battle field is silent,
You can go with siisrt tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not thou stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do;
Fortune is a lazy goddess,
She will never come to you;
Go toll In any vineyard, -
& Do not fear to do or care,
II you want field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.

L1EING-As easy az it il to lie, am
astonished that there are so few frst-rste
lies arc ever told.
I am not prepared to say how mUtch
real sin thare IL in what IL kalled light
colored lie, that hes no maliss or evil re-
suit ov mankind love to excel in awl they
undertake, and 1 can't tell how long
man would be willing to tell white lies
for, fun when he might bc turning an
honest penny for himself by telling black
ones.
Lieing liz the lowest grade ofsin,-it il
more cowardly than stealing, bokause
thare IL less risk in it,-it IL more de-
moralizing than burglary, bekause thare
il no cure for it,-it il more dangerous
than swearing, because swearing don't
hurt emmy boody else,-it was the fust sin
committed, be kausc it was the ezyest
and most natral, and it will probably be
the last one committed bekause no man
ever gets SO poor and degraded but what
he kan tell quite respectable lie.
Lieing IL sod tew be consttusbionall in
sum folks,-so il the itch constitushionall,
because folks hang around where it il, and
won't doIeor for it after they get caught
by.it.
.FinalIy-I might as we'll own til
have told few very fair lies myself, but
kant reckoleckt ov one.
That 1 feel proud ov now.

CoUNsELs TO YoUTu.-Lct youth ever
remember that the journey of life presents
few ifany obstacles in tspath which faith
and perseverance will not overcome. No
talents, however great, will be Of much
value to their owner without careful
usings; many youth has failed being
any benefit to himself or others, solely
because he made no effort to improve the
talents Gcd has given him, and others
have ruined themselves by too greatef-
forts; while a third class, possessing tai
ents that might have enabled them to be-
come blessings to others, have turned
their course downwards and by drinking,
smoking, gambling and licentiousncss OF
selfabuse, have sunk in everlasting night.
Youthful reader, remember that it is your
power to belong to either of these classes,
and on yourself rests the happiness OF
misery consequent upon your decision.
Every plain girl has one consolation
though not pretty young lady, she will,
if she lives, be pretty old one.
What is the difference between an ac-
cepted and a rejected lover? One kisses
his miss, and the other misses his kiss
A wag, having married a girl named
Church, says he has enjoyed more happi-
ness since he joined the Church than he
ever did before.

Our special dispatches from Chicago of tho Gath
inst stating that sfrom information receiv ed from
all points in the Northwest, but little or no dam
age has been inflicted on the corn crop by the late
frosts, are more or lees contradicted by adyices
from several points in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan
Wisconsin aud Ohio. From Kankakee, Wood
stock, Aurora, Freeport, Joliet. Peoria. Belvders,
Winona and Lincoln, in Illinois, the intelligence
il that the injury Is severe, extending from one
fifth to three fourths loss, and in one or two in
stances the eahmity is mentioned ss even greater,
On the contrary, at Nation, Harvard, Princeton,
Waukegsn, Jacksonville, Galens, Lewiston, Cam
ton, Macomb, chsrleston, Decatur and Quincy, AL
though the visitation was severe, damage Of
serious consequence ensued- At Oshkosh. Wis
consin, on the night OF the goth, ice formed the
fourth OF an inch in thickness, and the corn fields
towards the bay were touched with frost. From
Madison, in the same State, We learn that only
quite high lands has the corn escaped, and at 0c
onomowoc the corn and garden vegetables we're
frozen badly. AT Anamosa, Iowa, good deal Of
corn was killed. but at Davenport, keokuk, Du-
hnqRe and MHscatine the I'M nfy was slight From
dozen points in ohio, Michigan aud Indiana but
small damage is reported. Continued rains were
keeping the grain green in several of the sections
represented by these central localities, and danger
10 greater or less extent apprehended. As
heretofore remarked, serious injury to the Germ
crop would be severely felt throughout the entire
country. Ii would not only enhance the prices of
hreadstufs already too high. but the ruling rates
Of pork and bacon would he xed for another year,
to the great disadvantage Of the poorer classes of
consumers.
Pork operators are watching the forming COM
plicatons in their line of business with consider
able interest Hogs, financially, will he delicate
articles IN handle the coming season, unless the
difficulties which environ the trade at this time are
settled by all parties basis of cbmpromise.
But few packers, if any have been able te ma Ike
income returns, through the medium of the asses
sors lists OF princely even respectable dimen-
sions: result which has to be accounted for on
the superstition thatthe stock raisers received all
the profits. With no expectation Of . foreign de-
mand beyond the usual magnitude for American
provisions, aud the certainty Of domestic quiet
ude, operators, with the experiences Of the year,
viii likely be cautious, while hog owners, unwill-
ing to yield the high rates which have ruled, will
hold to their pretensiens with hrmness, or relax
them but partially. In this conflict is involved
the extent OF pork operations during the coming
winter.-ia. LOWS Democrat, Sept. n.
