Over and Over Again.
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

Over andoy again,
No matter which way turn,
| always find in the Bookof Life
Some lesson have to learn.
] must take my turn at the mill,
/ must grind out the golden grain,
l must work at my task with resolute will
Over and over again.
We cannot measure the need
Of even the tinnest flower,
Nor check the flow of the golden sands
That run through single hour.
But the morning dews must fall,
And the sun and the summer rain
Must do their part, and perform it all
Over and over again.
Over and over again
The brook through the meadow flows,
And over and over again
Theponderous mill wheel goes, -E
Once doing will not suffice,
Though doing be not in vain;
And blessing failing us once or twice
May come if we try again
The path that has once been trod
Is never so rough to the feet;
And the lesson we once have learned
Is never so hard to repeat.
Though sorrowful tears may fall,
And the heart to its depths be driven,
With storm and tempest, we need them all
To render us meet for heaven.

The Burning Steamboat.

The terrible Avondale slaugh-
ter is still fresh in our minds,
withits shocking dc tails-those
sturdy miners who perished far
downin the bowels of the earth,
falling in heaps as the suffocat-
ing choke-damp filed their
lungs. Then followed the Mast
Hope horror, where a sleeping
or drunken engineerh hurled into
eternity the multitude of un-
conscious travellers upon his
railway train.
And now this appalling Mis-
sissippi river disaster, on We'd
nesday evening, October 9th,
the burning of the steamer
Stonewall, near Neeley's Land
ing, 125 miles of St. Louis, on
her way to New Orleans, caus-
ing the death of 22O persons
by burning or drowning; the
captain and most of the officers
being among the lost. Only
SO persons are known to be
saved. We are told that "the
scene on board was heart-rend-
ing in the extreme. The flames
spread with wonderful rapidity,
under the action of a strong
wind, and the passengers in
wild terror crowded the fore
castle, until they were forced
overheard in a mass, and
drowned each other in their
desperate struggles to free
themselves. Others would jump
into the water, whirl around in
the strong current for an in
stant and disappear"
Tho origin of the fire is vari-
ously stated. Deck passengers
playing cards near a bale of
hay, and careless with their
light, says one. Several drunk
en- men frolicing on deck caus-
ed it, says another. A passen-
ger smoking his cigar, say
Others, which dropped among
some loose hay. All unite in
attributing it to carelessness,
and like most of those fearful
occurrences, the trouble is neg
lect of duty by the parties we
entrust so confdingly with our
lives and property.
We hear nothing of efforts

said that lit was not over five
minutes from the commence
ment when the boat was en-
veloped in flames" The mate
rial was tinder. Hay, cans OF
burning fluid, dry pine boards,
paint, all helped on the work
of destruction.
1t is the same in all these
river boats, and travellers have
ne safety except in the cease
less watchfulness and sobriety
of those in charge. Alas! how
frequently it is the case that
these men are Incorporate and
reckless; many of them of noble
natures, but debased by every
sort ofindulgence. The miser-
able bar, where day and night
the keeper stands to deal out
insanity by the glass to officers
and hands, deck and cabin pas
sengers, is often the place from
which proceeds these fires, ex-
plosions, butcheries of souls as
we'll as bodies.
Terrible thought! Five min
utes between health, joy, loved
ones, and consuming flames or
a struggle with the cold waves!
What an awakening! No time
for even a prayer, a farewell, a
look of love to dear ones. And
worst of all, how many of these
victims of our reckless Ameri-
can disregard of life have made
no preparation for the eternal
world; but with all their iniqui-
ties upon their heads, and guilt
upon their souls, impure, inn
penitent, are hurled before the
bar of God.
What memories of broken
vows, neglected opportunities,
wasted hours, must in that ter
rible moment have rushed upon
the mind, and appalled, the
stoutest heart. Then the frivo-
lousness of worldly motives
and pursuits were evident, the
wisdom of a pious life clearly
seen.
In such an hour how many
would fain offer the prayer of
the lost Hebrew, which has
come to us from beneath the
dark gulf, in anguish pleading
that the friends left behind
might get warning from them,
"lest they also come into this
place." The answer and reprof
is for all: "They have Moses
and the prophets; if they will
not heart them, neither will they
be persuaded though one rose
from the dead"
The events of time are the
words of God. We do well to
heed them. Deaths arrows
darken the air as they fly, strik-
ing each one unawares.
Reader, are you prepared I
Each beating pulse but brings
you nearer the bar of the Holy

joy.

The members of Congress received on
an average $40 dollars a year until 1873
when it was raised by them to ll.2O doh

year, and about 1866 they increased it
to 5000 dollars q year, and yet, this
great salary does not procure good men.
Clay, Calhoun, jackson, Webster and
many others that were better men than
the present Congress, served at dollars
per day, and none Of them resigned nor
complained of their salary being too
small, and these are what We call the
better days of our republic.
The Legislature of Georgia use to
serve for four dollars per day, but nine
dollars day, does not satisfy them now;
and if they arc not stopped they will soon
take fifty, and in proportion to their pay
they will fatten thcIr brotherhood in Of
