STREAM IN THE DESERT.
A living, loving, lasting word,
My listening ear believing heard,
While bending down in prayer,
Like sweet breeze that none can stay
1t passed my soul upon its way,
And left blessing there.
Then joyful thoughts, that come and 20
By paths the holy angels know,
Encamped around my soul
As in dream of blest repose,
Mid withered reeds a river rose,
And through the desert stole.
lifted up my eyes to see
The wilderness vas glad for me.
Its thorns bright with bloom:
And onward travellers still ip sight,
Marked out path ofshining light,
And shade unmixed with gloom.
Oh, sweet the strains of those before,
s'The weary knees are weak no more,
The faithful heart is strong:
But sweeter, nearer, from above,
That word Of everlasting love,
The promise and the song.

The Progress of Opinion.

A Nantucket sea captain tells the fol-
| lowing anccdose about shipmate who ac
companied him on one Of his early whal-
ing voyages:
Stiles was a Supplemented, transparent
young fellow; and, when we sailed, had
been paying attention" for some time to a
young lady, WHO, he had to think, did not
fully reciprocate his ardent feeling. AT
all events, the parting, oa her past, was
not so affectionate as he could wish, and
he was impressed wi b the belief that she
only kept him as stand By, in default OF
a better offer.
Il don't believe" Stiles would say, with
despon dent shake of his head, Il don't
believe Ann Jones III have me, anyhow"
When we had been out few months,
and had met with fair success. Stiles tone
was modified. The burden of his mono.
logue changed too, ''well, I domino but
what Ann Jones II have me, after all. !"
| With thousand barrels of oil under
hatchway. he became still more hopeful.
"Chances is pretty good for Ann Jones, !"
he would say, "pretty good now."
At fifteen hundred barrels be had as
sumed self-satisfed manner, and solilo-
quized, II guess there's no danger but
what Ann Jones II have me now"
At two thousand barrels Sam zones
ii be glad enough to get me now, [
know"
When We cut up the last whale that WIS
to fill the vessels hold and squared away
for home, Stiles threw his hat in the air
with Wild Indian yell of triumph. ex-
claiming-HIN he dtrnea If hare Ann
Jones, anyho~"

1.-TWO Arabs sat down to dinner, and
were aeeosted By q stranger, who request

get no provisions to buy in that part of
the country if they would admit him to
eat only an equal share with themselves
he Woasd willingly pay them the whole.
The frugal meal consisted of eight small
loaves OF bread, FIVE of which belonged to
one of the Arabs and three to the other.
| The stranger, having eaten third part
Of the eight loaves, arsse and laid before
them eight pieces Of money saying: "My
friends there is what promised you;

being made to the cadi, he adjudged seven
pieces to the owner of the fyc !oaves and
only one piece to him who owaed the three
loavcs. Yet the cadi decided justly.

INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF JANE
SWISSHELM.

/ When she was in her seventh year her
father lived on sixth street, Pittsburgh,
opposite the present site of Trinity
Church. The foundations of the church
were at that time being laid, and thew
rested upon a populous graveyard There
was much excitement in regard to the
dissertation of the graves, and great
deal of talk, to which the thoughtful
child listened with rapt attention. TIE
place was said to be haunted, and having
read in the Book of Revelations that the
graves were opened and the dead walked,
she supposed that tho walking of the
dead was the legitimate result of the
graves being opened, and that they were
quite as likely to walk in Pittsburgh as
in Patmos. Instead of being filled with
terror, however, her whole desire was To
see with her own eyes some of those
wonderful separations. So night after
night, she stole out and wandered among
the graves, looking tor the Eghosts that
never appeared.
One day there was great excitement
about grave that had been opened and
the occupant, in wonderful state Of
preservation, left exposed by the. work
men. That night, as soon as it was dark,
the fearless littleinvestigator stole into the
church-yarl, and cropping her way among
piles Of stone aid gravel, and over bones
and skulls, found the grave described,
and, sitting down beside 1T, peered into
its shadOwy depths As she sat thus, the
moon came out from behind a cloud, and
revealed a spectacle which might have
given no slight shock to the nerves of an
adult. Relating the incident she says,
No picture in my memory is more dis
tinct than that of this quiet sleeper, with
folded hands lying over the kerchief
that was crossed upon her breast, and the
full cap border surrounding her tranquil
face. In the full expectation that
ghost would rise, waited with an awe,
deep, solemn and tender, beyond the
power of words to express, and when az
length heard myself called, went
away with disappointed expectation and
regret"

THE TEMPERANCE HARVEST.
BY ELLA WHEELER.

We have fingered by the flowers,
We have loitered all TOO long,
There is 1eorE for hands like ours:
For hands that are young and strong.
There is need of muscles steady,
And OF willing hearts and true!
For the harvest fields are ready,
And the laborers are few.
Let us drop our wreaths Of roses,
Let us leave this useless life m
When another morn uncloses
Let rs seek the field OF strife.
We will reap upon the meadows,
We will gather up the sheaves,
We will show at evening shadows
Better things than withered leaves.
Hark! the hungry worms defy us
Gnawingin the golden grain; n

Forward, then, each son and daughter,
To the harvest battlefield
With your sickles of cold water,
Reap and bind, and never yield.
/ car hear the roll Of thunder
In the distance, far away I;
Onward, to the ripe fields yonder,
There is work for us to-day.
We must all unite together
In q grand and mighty one
Reap and bind, defying weather,
Till the setting Of the sun. s it ifi.
Bring your sickles--faster, faster
Gather in the sheayes from harm
Know you not the Gracious Master
Waits to take them to to His arm?
Workmen, do you know your wages?
IT'S for each a starry crown:
y GU shall wear them through all ages,
Where the light OF heaven shines down
On the stars of brilliant glory
That shall deck your diadem,
While the angels tell the story
Ofthe souls you brought to them.

POETRY.
From the Banner ofLight.
WHEN WE WENT THROUGH THE
WOODS.

October haze was in the sky,
October sunlight on the land
And all was fair when she and
Went through the forest hand in hand.
Her gentle heart was free from guile,
She knew no evil, thought no wrong;
Sweet innocence was in her smile,
Her voice flowed forth in sanity song.
We lingeredin the sylvan fanes
Where hearts adore the good and true
The wind was chanting grander strains
Than chapel organs ever knew.
And love was with us as we went, e
We heard its voice in every sound;
The leaves that shook, the boughs that bent
ALL told US of a joy profound.
Wepaused where sunlight sifted down
And fell In shifting shapes OF gold;
A leafy carpet, crisp and brown,
Was spread above the humid mold.
| sat upon fallen tree, sa
And held that dearly loved one fast;
She nestled close, ali close to me,
AS IL her home were found at last
I gazed into her dreamy eyes,
"a union OF the morn and even0
And nearer than through lofty skies,
Behold a pathway uuto heaven.
I whispered in her willing ear
An olden story, old, but true
There, in the autumn Of the year,
We made that olden story new.
-s eEgg A88IUo0gI 0#tk ll Is
And long we sat there, while the sun
Climbed to the ,tree-tops far above; M
While leaves we're falling one by one.
And dreaming zephyTs talked OF love:
The dying leaves were very bright,
In gorgeous red, or golden glow;
All bathed in rich autumnal light,
That fingered as II 10th TO 60.
The twilight deepened into gloom, f
rose enriched by loves sweet lore
And, happy hearted wandered home
With her-i0ho tVatks Nth me no more.
In other days, with dewy eyes,
In other arms she may recline;
But once, benea tn the autumn skies,
know that she was wholly mine.
My heart will never grow SO cold m
But in the hazy autumn weather
Hllthink Ofthat sweet time Of DID,
When we went through the woods to
gether. u 5di i1a4

A WHITEHEAD BUD.
BIZ ELLA WHEELER.

Only withered rosebud but it lifted
The heavy curtains, from the past away
And forgot the long years that had urifted,
aud lived again the glory of that day,
And for the moment, all my cares were ban
The petty trials, and the weary pain.
And every footprint of the dead years van
And | was fair, and fresh, and young
again.
We stood within garden, hung with roses,
And, "This young bud that modes'ly
hangs down."
You said, sis fairest, now, ere it uncloses,
And will pluck it for your curls of
brown"
And then you wondered if knew its mean
ing,
And said "My eyes and lips both tell it
love !"
And he-e.you kissed me, with the NAPLES
severing
Our actions from the jealous birds above
Oh long ago, our youthful dream departed
Aud neither incurred, nor sorrowed In
regret.
And we were not cast down, or broken
hearted,
For we had learned, and wanted to forget
But something out of lifes rich, rare com
pleteness,
That comes but once, felt again to-day
And something of a great, and vanished
sweetness,
/ folded withsthat withered bud away.
