They Won't Trouble Long.

Children grow up-nothing on earth
grows so fast as children. 1t was but
yesterday, and that lad was playing with
tops, a buoyant boy. He is a man, and
gone now There is 10 more childhood
for him or us. Life has claimed him.
When a beginning is made, it is like a
raveling stocking, stitch by stitch it
gives away till all are gone. The house
has not child in it. There is no more
noise in the hall-boys rushing in. pell-
nell it is very orderly now. There are
no more skates or sleds, bats. balls, or
strings, left scattered about. Things are
neat enough now 4 @C.at r...0. sa
There is no delay of breakfast for sleepy
folks. There is no longer any task before
you lie down, of looking after anybody,
and tucking up the bedclothes. There are
no disputes to settle, nobody to get on to
school, no complaints, no opportunities
for impossible things, no rips to mend,
no fingers to tie up, no faces to be washed
or collars to be arranged. There was
never such peace in the house! 1t would
sound like music to have some feet clat-
ter down the front stairs Oh, for some
children's noise. 49,.
What used to all us, that we were
hushing their loud laugh, checking their
noisy trolic, and reproving their slamming
and banging of doors? We only wish
our neighbors would lend us an urchin
or two to make little noise in the prem
ises. a home without children! 1t is
like a lantern without candles; q garden
and no flowers; vine and no grapes j. a
brook and no gurgling and rushing in it's
channel. We want to be tired, to be vex-
ed, to be run over, to hear child-lite at
work with all its varieties.
During the secular days this is enough
marked. But it is Sunday that puts our
home to proof This is the Christian
family day. The intervals of public wor
ship are long spaces of peace. The fami
ly seems made upon that day. The chill
dren are at home You can lay youl
hands upon their hands. They seem to
recognise the greater and lesser love--to
God and to friends. The house is peace,
full, but not still. There is silence that
aches in the ear. There is too much room
at the table, too much at the hearth. The
bedrooms are world too orderly. There
is too much leisure and too little care
Alas what mean these things? Is
somebody grown old Are these signs

The Pacific R. R. Excursionists.

The Pacific Railroad Excursion Party reach
ed Omaha October 22nd leaving the same day
for Camp Platte City, where the day was spent
in hunting fishing, &c Picnic parties were
formed, while some of the members through
whose heads ffoated financial dreams, occupied
their time in viewing the newly constructed
road. Others, throwing aside the care OF Wall
ST., got up cunning expeditions, and antelopes
and wild geese were shot on the banks of the
river by staid old gentlemen, prominent bankers,
brokers and Congressman. In the afternoon,
when the festivities of the day were over,
meeting was held and speeches were made by
Senators Wade and Patterson, Mr.. Upton, and
the Hon. VIM. Lawrence, of Ohio, and John B.
Alley of Mass. series of resolutions compli
mentary to the Directors and Board of Mana
gers was passed, and the construction of the
road was pronounced the most wonderful tri-
umph of the nineteenth century.
Our friend G. A. B., Of the Cleveland HER
AID, who is one of the excursion party, writing
from Omaha, under date of October 22d, says I:
AS soon as it was known the exclusion
lists had arrived at the levee, the bank
was lined with horses and carriages that
could vie with the "turn outs" of any
Eastern city. The Governor of the State,
the Mayor and Council of Omaha appear
ed and gave the party hearty welcome; !;
addresses were made and responses, and
all the courtesies of such occasions ten
dered and accepted. The party then set
off after fast horses to view the city. The
Cleveland delegation oftwo had private,
but no less hearty reception from Gen.
Jack Easement, who offered the freedom
of the city on his own hook, which was
accepted at a gait 2-4O. The General is
Commander in Chief of from four or five
hundred men engaged in laying the track
of the Union Pacific Rail Road, and he
promises little private expedition of
twenty-five miles beyond the Tooth Merel
dian, which he viii have laid within the
next twenty-four hours for the especial
use of the Cleveland delegation. The
many friends of the General will be glad
to hear that his capacity and energy in
the building of rail roads is duly appreci-
ated on the plains, and that redskins, an
telopes, deer and buffalo can hardly make
tracks as rapidly as his regiment of opera
tives does. We shall know more of the
Generals doings as we advance on the
plains, and doubtless cease to wonder
when we reach the end of the rail, that
the natives are astonished.
Omaha has many fine brick business
blocks, elegant residences perohed upon
the bluff, and all the characteristics that

WHERE AND How ?-Many professed
Christian asks at times, 'where shall
work, and just what shall l do in my
Masters vineyard ?" Now, my friend,
while your sympathies and your progress
are to extend to the holefeld, which is
the world, it, Of course, cannot be so of
your immediate personal effort. The
place for your special work is the place
where God in his providence has placed
you. 1t may be where many persons are
under your direction as laborers or pupils,
it may be where you are surrounded by
fellow-students; it may be where you
often meet business men of large influ-
ence; or where from day to day you are
brought into contact with only a few
neighbors, wherever it may be, just there
is the place for you to "go to work in my
vineyard There exert your influence for
Christ. So far as God has given you in
fuence with others, so far are you re-
sponsible for them. So far as you are
able to induce them to go right, insomuch
are you responsible if they go wrong.---
Don't wait for new circumstances which
shall bring other persons,or greater num-
bers. Go to work just where you now
are. God has put you into the place
where he would have you work now
When he would have you work elsewhere,
he will put you there.

Polonious to His Son,
BY MARK TWAIN HAMLET.


Beware of the spoken word! Be wise;
Bury thy thoughts in thy breast;
Nor let the thoughts that are unmaiured
BE ever in acts expressed.
BE thou courteous and kindly toward all
Be familiar and vulgar to none;
But the friend thou hast proved in thy need,
Hold him fast till life's mission is done!
Shake not thy faith by confiding
In every new-bigot friend
Beware thou of quarrels-but, in them,
Fight them out to the bitter end.
& Give thine ear unto all that would seek it,
But to few thy voice impart
Receive and consider all censure, ...
But thy judgment seal in thy heart
Let thy habit be ever so costly
As thy purse is able TO span; 4r.g
Never gaudy but rich, for the raiment
full often proclaimeth the mani
Neither borrow nor lend-oft loan
Both loseth itself and a friend
And to borrow relayeth the thrift
whereby husbandry gaineth Its ends.
But 10 above all set this law;
- Upon thyself be thou true;
Then never towards any capst thou
The deed of a false heart do.

Come let us swell the chorus,
The continent around,
Till Gods bright heavens DER us,
Reverberate the sound;
Der Prairie, Lake and Mountain,
Ger land, and over sea,
BY River, Stream and Fountain,
Proclaim the Jubilee.
From where the deep Atlantic,
It's troubled waters roli,
To where the bright Pacific
Electrifies the Soul.
~ Where CLEANS thelgold9n treasure,
Where commerce leads the way,
There men have heard the gospel,
And learned to praise and pray.
Along the trackless forest,
Ilinerants have trod.
Proclaiming to the settler,
The messages of God.
The Red-man has received him,
The Negro, bowed in prayer,
Has felt the God of Jacob
Was present everywhere.
From far of lands the stranger,
Has heard the joyful sound,
And seeking here for treasure,
Himself, has thus been found.
The English, French and German,
The Prussian, Pole and Fin,
Norwegian, Swede aud Russian,
Converted from their sin.
Our fathers threw their message,
Upon the winged winds,
Proclaiming to the nations,
Deliverance from sins.
And thus full salvation,
From guilt, and shame and fear,
Re-echoes through the nation,
This Centenary year.
A full and free salvation,
Ten thousand tongues proclaim,
And twice ten thousand voices,
Re-Echo back the same.
Roll on the precious tidings,
In love, and prayer, and tears,
And shout the great salvation,
Another hundred years. GIL

follow fashions appear to have shrunk,

grown thinner aud shorter. This is all
owing to the decrease in width of both
crinoline and petticoats, and the decrease

is an undisputed fact that a trained skirt
adds considerably to the apparent height
of the figure. Still, with all their grace
ful folds and sweeping lines, no sensible
woman will regret the disappearance of
the absurdly long trains and sweeping
dresses which have been worn during the
past two years in the streets, for they
proved exceedingly inconvenient and un-
cleanly. The new fashion is infinitely
more reasonable, for it leaves trains fol
drawing rooms, and insists on short pet

The Mormon Church was thirty six
years and six months old Oct. G. 1t was
organized with six members. The Desc
ret Neecs says "thcy who ask for miracle
connected with the effects Of the gospel,
can see it before them to-day in this Ter
ritory, in the Latter-day Saints"
AT the late semi-annual Mormon con-
ference, held at Salt Lake, the high priests,
elders, &c, related their experience, and
exhorted their followers. Elder Wood
ruff related, for the first time,a visitation
he had from three angels when in London.
Brigham Young called vote of the con-
-gregation upon the question of tolerating
grog-shops, gambling-hells and houses OF
bad repute and the Neocs says not hand
was raised in favor of either. The Nor
mon leaders evidently think polygamy in
danger, particularly as the family of 10
Smith has declared against it. Young ,at
the conference, called up portions of the
history of 10 Smith in proving that his
family had gone astray from the true
Mormon faith, and that all who follow af
ter the Smith branch are apostates. El
der Geo. A. Smith testified that the proph
ct, the late 10 Smith, received the revela-
tion on plurality of wives, and that in
the last conversation the speaker had
with the late prophet the latter discanted
upon the salvation, glory and exaltation
that plurality of wives could produce.
