The e. q 90. T.. y. R--BtAs for the Work
II is not true, rs stated by theSt. Louis
and other papers, that the Chicago, AL
ton and st. Louis railroad company, as q
company, was bidder for the work Of
building and equipping OF the Cairo and
st. Louis railroad. That company is not,
under the provisions OF It's charter, in q
condition TO bid for the work The sane.
ton OF three-:ourths Of the stockholders
Is q prerequisite In such cases, and 40
much of that compsny's stock is held by
minors or trustees by persons abroad,
etc., an expression Of the kind required
would be difficult to obtain. Mr.. Mitch.
ell, OF the company, for himself and 9TH
ers, put In q bid; but 1t was intended as
an individual bid, and was so considered
by the board Of directors of the Cairo and
st. Louis company--at least such is our
understanding. aa
The report that the Chicago, Alton and
st. Louis railroad company had bid fol
the work, had the effect. probably, OF de-
terring individuals nom bidding. The
known wealth and ready appliances o.
| that company, and their avowed Interest
10 the opening Of the Cairo and st. Louis
road, rendered them, in the eyes of those
who contemplated bidding, most form!
dable competitors; and, as we have said
very probably had the effect of keeping
back bids from individuals.
We are pleased to add, however, tina
the directors have received highly favor
able propositions-such as they are in
condition to close in with at will. w
cannot, of course, say what the futur
may develop; but at this writing there
every reason for believing that the Cair
and st. Louis railroad viii be under con
tract on or before the first day Of Seq

to my fellow members to verify. In

Earth's Tired Children.

How often on the long summer day,
the little child grows weary Of its toys,
and turns to its mother for rest. Some
times the shadows are 1engthening !;
oftentimes the sun has not reached its
MONDAY splendOr. But it matters not;
the tired child wants rest. And what
are we all, but children of n larger
growth Who is there at some time
does not weary of the way and long for
rest? ? The aged one, who has travelled
over life's stony and thorn-strewed
pathway until the shadows have grown
so long they extend almost beyond the
reach Of his dimmed visionl how like
a tired child he sinks down, wishing for
rest, weary of earth and all its pleas
ures, which, to his old age, seem only
as a child's toys to the mature man.
Often, too, those whose lives have
been saddened and embittered by the
trials Of earth, grow weary, even before
they reach the meridian of life, and long
for better, moro abiding rest. Earth
" pleasures have pallid upon their
senses, and like the fruit of the region
of the Dead Sea, have turned to ashes
on their lips and as the child, grown
weary of its sports, throws himself
down to rest, wishing he was q man, so
they turn their hearts from earth with
a longing for something which will not
perish in the using. Too often, alas
they know not how to satisfy these inn
mortal cravings of their natures. They
turn again to feed on husks, regardless
Of the bread of Heaven, which alone
will quell these hungerings, and
awaken hope of rest above "a rest
whose blessedness is Unbroken by sOr-
row or pain.
The weary Christian is In truth Gods
own tired child, and for rest and COM
fort he may turn to One whose love ex-
ceeds the mothers love. Even though
she may forget her Offspring, God Will
not forget Ills weary ones, but Ia ms
own good time will give them rest.
What sweeter word is there than that
-restl How full of meaning And
yet one must grow weary before he can
realize all its fullness If there are
sweeter words they must be Jesus and
Heaven; but, are not these synony-
nous to the child of God, who looks
forward with deep and heartfelt long
ings to the rest that ''remaineth ?'' 1t
is indeed meet that we should lOok be-
yond these earthly toys, and weary of
them - that we should seek and realize
the comforts in the words, '' will give
you rest"
