"Wait Till You Are Older :"

When little Jennie first noticed the telegraph
wire stretching for miles along the roadside, she
inquired what it was for. She was told it was
for conveying messages from one place TO an
other. "Ho,0 do they send messages father?'
she again inquired, eagerly. Impressed at once
with the utter impossibility Of explaining the
process to her comprehension, | replied, Il
cannot tell you now you would not understand
me if should you must a0ah till you ere old
er.
AS uttered these last words, they were in
stantly impressed upon my own heart and con-
science as fitting rebuke of my own imratience
at mysteries could neither unrave nor discern
The providences of God had been to me,
as to one of Old, 100 painful for me- =
So strange were they and lnexplicabe-so sad
so appalling? With almost agonizing earn
estness and tears, had inquired concerning the
mystery of suffering under the government Of
God, who is infinite 10 love aud power Hoag
can 1t be? Sometimes individual instances of
suffering are terrifying to the beholders so
painful indeed often, that one turns away with
horror from the sight; yet God sees ALL and if
isolated suffering is so bad, what must be the
aggregate of human woe? And he knows it
all! How gladly would | relieve it if l could.
Who shall say God could not? Yet he does
not. The vast tide of woe moves remorselessly
on from age to age One loud continuous wall
of the suffering and dying is forever rolling up
to heaven, and the whole creation groaneth and
travaileth in pain together until now. How
can it be? Since God is tender, loving Faith
er, whose pity far transcends all human love,
aohy should it be? All sources Of human know
ledge fail me gov. Revelation, even, answers
not. My burdened spirit seeks in vain to fathom
the mystery. [ only hear his loving voice say
ing, What | do, thou knowest not now, but
but thou shalt kaoao hereafter" Then with
binding tears and trusting heart, will '''cdit

Hrs. Candle on the Velocipede.

''Caudle, would like to know what makes
your face so red You look as if you had been
intoxicated for a week? do declare this is too
bad :? Was there ever woman in this world
So"
Mr.. c. explains Now, my dear, don't take
on SO. You know new vehicle OF locomotlon
has been introduced in town. 1t is called the
velocipede. rode one of these at the hall to-
night before coming home, and it is hot work,
especially for beginners Been drinking? No,
] haven't drunk anything for six months
Mrs C.-''Thcre, Caudle, just, gust look at
that Torn the best pair Of pants you had in
the house. Now, how did that come about?'
Mr.. C.-Well, you see rode the velocipede
this forenoon, and another machine ran into
mine, and before knew it my pants were torn.
Mrs Ripped your coat too, havn't
you? Ycu didn't want me to see that tear?-
And there's your best beaver all smashed up!
Perhaps you'll say the veloclpede did that 1t
did, did it? But, Mr.. Caudle, what's the mat
ter with your hands? Why, they are all bis
tered up?"
Mr.. c. Three days riding the yelocipede
is enough to blister anybody's hands, but it's
nothing when you get used 1t. Happens to
all beginners.
Mrs C-"Wh hat is the matter now, Caudle :?
You limp as if you had been horribly injured ?"
Mrs ca slight bruise, only slight
bruise keep me in the house only day or two
You see, Jack. and he weighs $50 pounds, ac-
cidently drove his velocipede over my foot and
yet one must endure these things in order to
become an adept in riding velocipede."
Mrs C-''Now would like to know where
you have been all this blessed evening, Caudle
Here it is fifteen minutes of midnight and you
just coming home to your lawfully welded wife
No you needn say that you have been to the
lodge, because you know it isn't lodge night. J"
Mr. C.-''No my dear, havn't been to the
lodge You see, in order to become an adept
Mrs. c.. Now, Caudle, | know what you
were going to say. You were going to tell me
that you must desert me every night for six
weeks while you learn to ride velocipede! If
wives had their way they would burn up every
velocipede in town? And what was the matter
last night? | couldn't get a wink of sleep.
Your legs kept going up and down all night,
like pump handles! Velocipede motion, was it.
Put your feet in the stirrups and turn and that
throws your knees up and down does it? Now
don't tell me it nothing when get used to it,
because that's something | a0on't get used to !!
1t is bad enough to sleep with man when he
is quiet, but to have the bed clothes Topping
up and down all night as regular as the clock
ticks, is little too much, velocipede or no We
locipede. If you ride the velocpede another
day, Caudle, Iii leave the house!' And with
ehis conclusion the lady ceased, finding her
worthy spouse was already asleep Utica Her.

Yet disregarded all by me,
turn to hopeless love and thee.
AT night, when all the stars are up,
I'll sing a song and drain the cup,
By wine and mirth my love to drown,
And keep the pangs of sorrow down.
Yet visions like you come to me,
AS fair as you were wont to be,
And take me back to days gone by,
With fadeless cheek and fearless eye.
[ know not where thy home may be,
[ dare not to thy presence fee,
But thou hast still my lonely heart,
My long lost love, where er thou art.
Though many years have DER me fled,
Though many friends are with the dead,
Thine image is unfaded yet,
As on the night when first we met.
