Ts tby cruise of comfort wasting?
Rise and share it with another,
And thro' all the years OF famine,
It shall serve thee and thy brother
Love divine will fill thy store-house,
on thy handful still renew;
Scsnty fare forsone, will often
Make royal feast for two.
For the heart grows rich in giving;
All its wealth is living grain;
Seeds, which mildew in the garner,
Scattered, fl with gold the plain.
Is thy burden hard and heavy2
O Thy steps drag YEARLY?
Help to bear thy brothers burden;
God will bear both it and thee
Numb and weary onthe mountains,
Would thou sleep amidst the snow?
Chafe that frozen form beside thee,
And together both shall glow.
Art thou stricken in life battle;
Many wounded round thee mourn:
Lavish on their wounds thy balsan.
And that balm shall heal thine own.
Is the heart mill left empty?
None but God its void can fill;
Nothing but ceaseless fountain,
Gan its ceaseless longing still.
Is the heart living power?
Self entwined, its strength lies low,
It can only live in loving,
And by serving love will grow.

A Story For Swearers.

A gentleman once heard a laboring man
swear dreadfully in the presence of num-
Der of his companions. He told him it was
a cowardly thing to swear in company,
when he dared not do it by himself. The
man said he was not afraid to swear at any
time or any place.
"rll give you ten dollars" said the gen.
tleman, f" if you Will go into the village
churchyard at twelve O'Clock tonight, and
swear the same oaths which you have ut
tered here, when you are alone with our
God" a s.- at
HAgreed," said the man, "'tis an easy
way of earning ten dollars"
stWell, YOU come to me tomorrow, and
say you have done it, and the money is
The time passed on; midnight came. The
man went to the graveyard. 1t was night
of pitehv darkness. AS he entered the
GRAVEYARD not a sound was heard; all was
as still as death. Then the gentleman's
words, {" "alone with God" came over him
with wonderful power. The Thought of
the wickedness he had committed, and what
he had come there to do, darted through
his mind like a flash of lightning. BE
trembIed at his folly. Afraid to take
another step, he fell on his knees, and in
stead of the dreadful oath he came to utter,
the earnest cry went up, God be mereiful
/ to me sinner!p 1gut' t4aT1i 3v.. -
,oI The next day he went to the gentleman
and thanked him for what he had done, and
said he had resolved not to swear another
oath as long as he lived.-Miss BGrber's

DestitutiOn in Northwestern Iowa
An Appeal 10 the Public. IF


The evidences of the great destltution
throughout the northwestern part of Iowa
are daily accommodating. A large proper
ton of the settlements in many of the new
counties is composed of immigrants of but
years residence. They have no wheat,
not even for seed; their last years corn
crop failed; of oats and potatoes the sup
ply has Dever been equal te the demand for
home consumption in those frontier coun-
ties. Besides the greed manifested by many
of them for flour at 81 per hundred. and
meal at $3.50 to 81 the up-river farmers
are willing to give any price for seed wheat,
oats and corn, payable next fall and will
gladly mortgage farms, anything, every
thing, in security. This state eff things has
appealed to the humanity of somes of our
citizens here and they are taking stepsIto
provide against famine, and for seediDgE-
Dubuque, the commercial metropolis of
Iowa, has been appealed to through some
of our people, and the Produce Exchange
of that city have appointed a acommittee to
procure subscriptions for relief on the
North western frontier. Through Hon.
Plat Smith, of that city, we have promise
OF assistance One of our. etOwnsmen has
ordered carload of corn from Dubuque,
which will be sold to the needy at cost
probably about $l.25 bushel. 1t will be
here the latter part of this week. Wheat
and more corn will, no doubt, soon be
shipped here, some of which. may be had
on credit, if pending arrangements are per-
fected. - s'-af 10 's't1aT p, 9T9.I
The present time and this occasion OF
probable suffering should enlist the active
sympathy and cooperation of the benevo-
lent. You who have plenty are not asked
to give to the poor, but only to lend to them
on good security until another harvest
Upon the next harvest very much depends
for Northwestern Iowa, and we should al
bear in mind that more seed must be had
or there will be a meagre harvest.-IoaoC

a Bibulous Innuendo.

Some years ago, when the totAl absti-
nence excitement was at its hight, and the
Maine liquor law was the great social ques-
ton of the day. called, with George Ken
dali, of the Neoo Orleans PtcGyuHe, at the
office of the Brothers Harper, then in Cliff
street. George was running his new books
on Mexico through their press at the time,
and having been acquainted with the BROTH
ers many years previously, was of course
on the most intimate terms with all of
them. f@-slH .tltH .. ~ $50 s-itja -1 .'e"rfs
James, the Mayor, was at, that time a
leading apostle in the temperance cause,
and used occasionally to-rally George upon
what he thought to be evidence of an undue
bibulous propensity. ' Your face looks
rather reddish this morning, George Pm
afraid you indulge" Which Kendall GER
tainly did; but always in moderation
never to any like excess.
After sitting few moments, George said
to the younger brother, Fletcher:
FLETCHER, where's jim? where's the
Mayor ] want to see him." H.
81 . He's in the library room," replied
Fletcher, " entertaining committee OF old
women from the Martha Washington Tenn
peranee Society. They hold meeting at
the Tabernacle tomorrow night, and the
Mayor is going to preside"
"Good!" said George, I'll go right in
and see him. Come, Clark" added Ken
dali, "let US see how the city's chief magis-
trate looks In cOuncil."L -T-F
George raped at the door.
"COme in," answered the mayor.
Kendall opened the door slowly, as if in
hesitation, glanced askance at the eight or
+ ten old women, winked knowingly at the
mayor, and then said, with an inimitable
maudlin Jimmy Twitcher air:
"J-i-i-m, let US go out and get another
drinki"
1t is not often that any one can fluster
james Harper; but, 'you believe he was
flustered on this occasion. He looked hor-
ror-stricken at the very idea, as he returned
the astonished gaze of the old ladies. -"An-
other drink! - as if they had already had
one together, early as it was in the morn
ing!
Last summer saw George on his return
from Paris. We reminiscized upon this in
cident, and Kendall said
I 81 have never heard anything from Jim
from that day to this about my indulging p
Louis Gaylord Clark.
