If life.s q journeys we SEQ
IT'S indeed, by many token
Oh them, trow the road viii be
Not always smooth or always broken;
But march we over rugged stone,
Or march VIC over trodden gravel,
with friends arnu2d us, or alone.
W. must keep moving on our travel.
Tramp, t-amp, when skies are fair,
Tramp, tramp, when storms arc blowing,
we fud
We lag behind,
A steadsa>t heart will keep US going.
M,ny path will seem more plain,
Many kuaye will lie and cozen;
But hold .hino own With might and main,
And keep :he ,r ,ck that thou hast chosen.
It's in tho light and in the dark,
It's over hill and through the ho;.oH;
We'll fix our eyes upon the mark,
And if We cannot lead, we'll follow.
Tramp, tramp, when skies are fair,
Tramp, tramp, when storms arc blowing,
If our strength
Should fail xt length,
A steadfsst heart will keep us going.
The horsemsn and the charioteer
Go hastiny by with mighty clstter;
God speed t1om AL and if they jeer
The tranps afoot, what does it matter!
Grndge them not the prsseut hour,
Nor faint and mu-mur like q craven,
For when tie day has lost its power,
There is for all common hoayen.
Tramp, tramp, when skies are fair,
Tramp, tramp, when storms are blowing
AS the light
Dies down tonight,
A stoadfast heart will keep US going.

PAT AND DEAcoS.-A few months ago.
as Deacon Ingalls,, of Swampscot, R. l.,
wss travelling through the western part
Of the State of New York, he fell in with
IN Irishman, who had lately arrived in
this country, and WAS in search ofa broth,
rr who had come before him, and settled
III some of the diggings in that part OF
the country.
Pat was a strong man, true foman
Catholic. and had never seen the interior
of Protestant church.
1t was pleasant Sunday morning that
brother Ingalls, met Pat, who inquired
the road to the nearest church.
Ingalls, was pious man. he told Pat
lie was going to church, and invited his
new made friend to keep him company
thi,her, his destination being a smah
Methodist meeting house near by. There
was great revival there at that time,
and one of the dcacons, who was very
small man in stature, invited Brother In
gals to take seat in his pew. He ac-
cepted the invitation, followed by Pat,
who looked in vain to find the altar, etc.
After he was seated he turned round to
Brother ingalls,, and in whisper that
could be heard all round, inquired
aSure, and isn't this q hereto church ?"
Hush" said ingalls,; :" if you speak
word they will put you out"
"Divil a word will speak at all, re-
piled Pat.
The meeting was opened by prayer by
the pastor.
Pat was cycling him very closely, when
an old gentleman, who was standing in
the pew directly in front of Pat, shouted
GLORY"
"Hist, ye devil" rejoined he, with his
loud whisper, which WAS heard by the
minister, be dacent, and don't make a
blockhead Of yourself"
The parson grew more fervent in his
devotions. Presently the deacon uttered
an audible groan.
Hist, ye blackguard have ye no de-
cency at alI?" said Pat, at the same time
giving him punch in the ribs, which caus-
ell him to lose his equilibrium.
The minister stopped, and extend
ing his hand in suppliant manner,
said
Brethren, we cannot be disturbed in
this way. Will some one put that man
out?"
"Yes, your riverince," shouted Pat
81 will" and suting the action to the
word, he collared the deacon, and to the
utter horror of the pastor, Brother In
gals, and the whole congregation, he
dragged him up the aisle, and with tre-
mendous kick sent him into the yestibulc
of the church.

4 FEELING SoN.-A minister in Iowa
was recently called upon, by man whom
We will call Mr.. a, to attend the fu-
neral of his father, and after short conyer.
sation concerning the deceased, Mr.. A
-asked the minister how much he
would charge for his services.
"Oh," said the minister, 4" never make
charge for attending q funeral; but
sometimes receive present of more or
less value"
81 wish to pay my way" said the
man; 81 have but little money; but if
you will take anything that grows on my
farm-would'nt you like some sweet po'
tatocs ?"
Certainly" said the minister, :" some
sweet potatoes would be as acceptable as
the money"
Gall right"
The following day the minister went
to the funeral. After the usual services,
and after the congregation had looked for
the last time upon the deceased, Mr.. A
stepped forward, aud turned down
the coffin lid, and began to screw it fast,
saying:
"lt's pretty hard, pretty hard the
hardest thing ever did; but it's the last
thing can do for father, and won't ask
any one to do it for me"
In due time the procession moved to
the grave, and the coffin was lowered.
When the grave was perhaps third fill
ed, and while the relatives and friends
were standing around, Mr.. A--left the
side of his wife, advanced to. the min
lister, and putting his hand in his pocket,
said:
al have the money to-day, and if you'd
rather have it than the potatoes, | can pay
you just as well as not"
"Never mind" said the minister, in a
low tone, sit will be all right. Don't
say anything about it now"
The man then stepped back beside the
minister and stood looking into the grave
for some moments; then drawing a deep
breath, as if realizing the depth of his at:
tection. he said in sad tone:
81 have lost the best friend ever had ;
he never licked me 6ut once !"
A few days afterwards the minister re-
ceiyed two bushels of sweet potatoes.

Let us mot Forget our Economic
Training.

The present is time of peculiar trial
to our Southern people, both politically
and financially. As to ou- political trial,
enough has already been said. But the
political madness which rules the hour is
also hurtful to the financial interests OF
the South. We, in common with the
whole people of the United States, are
suffering from the prostration of trade
and business. The northern people, how
ever, are rich enough to bear this evil
much better than we are. And, further
more, the great interest of the South be-
ing mainly agricultural, the emancipation
of the negroes, and the consequent dc.
ransemcnt Of labor, have we'll nigh de.
stroyed our lately risinghope of financial
recuperation. The consequence is that
there is much dependency throughout
the country in reference to our material
prosperity in the future.
But We must not succunb to such de-
pressing influences. We must f" learn to
labor and to wait Our material pros
perity is only question of time. No
such country as ours, with such vast wealth
only awaiting development, can long re,
main depressed Capital and population
are certMn to flow into itin immense vol.
umes. Our present plans and efforts
may not be as successful as we desired
a.d expected. But the native wealth of
the country will inevitably attract to it
the means and the facilities of its devel-
opment, and all difficulties growing out
of the present interregnum will be ob.
waited.
The two duties now most incumbent
upon all the Southern people are hard Ia
Dor, and economical living. These les
sons we learned during the war. Let US
not forget them now when they are as
much needed as ever before, and even
more. Let them be imprinted upon ev,
cry heart, and faithfully adhered to, and
we shall ultimately become q prosperous
and happy veople. Let US "bide our
time" with magnificent courage.-Hous-
