That Is one thing constantly reiterated by
our Master, the order Of all others that IS
gwen ofteuest. "Do justice and Judgment
That's your Bible order that s the Service
Of God. not praying nor psalm singing,
You are told, indeed, TO sing psalms when
You are merry, aud TO pray when you need
ANYTHING aad by the perversion Of the evil
spirit We get 10 thinking that praying and
psalm singing are +" service If a child
ends itself in want of anything, it runs and
asks its father for it-does it call that doing
its father q service? If II begs for a toy or q
piece of cake-dees it call that serving it's
fnthers That with God is prayer, and he
likes TO hea- il; he likes you to ask him for
cake when you want ii, hut he doesn't call
that serving him" Begging IS not serv.
ing; God likes mere beggars as little as you
do. He likes honest servants. not beggars.
So when n child loves its father very much,
and is very happy, it may sing little songs
about him, but it doesn't call that servl9g It's
father, neither is songs about God serving
God. Il is enjoying ourselves most prob
ably it is nothing, bat if its anything, 1t Is
serving ourselves not God. And yet we are
inpudent enough to call b~eggings and chant
ings Divine Service We say Divine
Service will be performed that's our word
the form of it goas through at IL O'Clock.
Alas. unless we perform Divine Service IN
every part Of our life, we never perform it q
all.-kHSkin.

POETRY.



saturday Night.
Sweet TO the soul the parting ray
Which ushers placid evening in,
When with the stu, expiring day,
The Sabbath's peaceful hours begin
How grateful TO the anxious breast,
The sacred hours Of holy rest.
I love the blush Of vernal bloom,
When morning gilds nights sullen tear;
And dear to me the meurnful gloom
or Autum's Sabbath Of the year;
And purer pleasures, joys sublime,
Await the dawn of holy time.
flushed Is the tumult OF the day
All worldly care and business cease;
While soft the vesper breeres play
To hymn the glad return of pence
q season blesti o moment given
To turn the vagrant thoughts to heaven.
What though involved in lurid night,
Tue l~eyeliest forms Of nature fade;
Yet mid the gloom shall heavenly light
With JOY the c0ntrite heart pervade.
oh, then, Great Source of Light Divine,
With beams ethereal gladden. mine.
on as this hallowed hour shall come,
@. raise my thoughts from earthly things,
And bear them to my heavenly home,
On living Faiths immortal wings
TIL the last CLEAN Of life decay,
To one Eternal Sabbath Day.

The NATIONS. CHARITY.-It will be remem-
bered that while Congress during its spring
session refused to make a'direct appropriation
for the relief of the Southern poor, it author
lied such relief to be given from funds already
in the hands of Gen. Howard of the Freed
mems Bureau. The work of giving effect to
the law fell to the lot of Brigadier-General
Whittlesey. The disbursements only extend
ed over period of five months when orders
were issued from the Bureau on the 26th of
August to cease operations. During these five
months the following sums were expended: !:
Virginia, Sl2,S50; North Carolina, $32 $500;
South Carolina, $10i700; Georgia, $125, 100;
Alabama, $4,000; Florida, $1,000; Mississippi,
$4,000; Louisiana, $21 100; Tennessee, SO
900; Arkansas. $4,000. Making a total of
about $441 $50 AT the last reports small por-
tions of this money were yet on hand but it is
believed that every dollar of it will be requir-
ed to settle, the outstanding bills. 4 .ls d
tits estimated that nearly eighty thousand
different persons were reliovod, considerably
over haif or whom were whites. The supplies
furnished were mainly corn and pork the re-
turns already made to the bureau, with mod
crate estimate for the few districts not vet in,
give an aggregate of about $50, 1000 pounds of
pork and 120 900 bushels of corn. The figures
as to the number of persons relieved may be to
some extent deceptive, but this statement of
the amount of cyrn and pork distributed shows
conclusively on what grand scale the charity
of the nation was exercised -51@4

The bad habit of reading in railcars and

Americans as to be fairly regarded as ineradi-
cable, the only thing that can be done to save
the eyesight Of this generation from utter ruin

which will be entertaining at the same time
that it lays no very heavy tax on the intellect
