The Golden Rod.
BY LUCY IAECOM.

Midsummer music in the grass
The cricket and the grasshopper;
White daisies and red clover pass;
The caterpillar trails her fur
After the languid butterfly;
But green and spring like is the sod
Where Autumn $ earliest lamps | spy
The taper Of the golden rod.
This flower is fuller of the sun
Than any our pale North can show;
1t has the heart Of August won
And scatters wide the warmth and glow
kindlcd at Summers mid-noon blaze,
Where gentians of September bloom
Along nctober's lcaf-Strewn ways,
And through November's paths Of gloom
AS lavish of it's golden light
As sunshine's self this blossom is:
Its starry chandeliers burn bright
All day; and have you noted this
A perfect sun in every flower?
Ten thousand thousand fairy suns,
Raging from new disks hour by hour,
AS up the stalk the lifc-tla runs?
ga worthless plant Haunting weed.
Abundant splendors are too cheap
Nelghbor, not so! unless, indeed,
Iou would from Heaven the sunsets
sweep,
And count as mean the common day:
Meseems tie world has not so much
Supertluous beauty that we may
Blight any thing with scornful touch.
In times long past, the ha"ebell's grace
blent with this resplendent spray;
And one | loved would lean her face
Toward their contrasted hueS. and say:
''Thc Sun-lkc gold, the heavenly blue
know not which delights me most
Sacred are both, dear heart, to you:
They lit your feet from carth's dim coast
The swinging harcbcll family tollcd
Upon the still, autumnal air;
The golden-rod bent down to hold
Her rows of funeral-torcheS there.
All blossoms, sweet. to you were dear
No homliest weed you counted vile,
The flower | choose, of al the year,
Is this, that last bcllell your smile.
Herald of Autumn's reign, it sets
Gay bontires blazing round the fields:
Rich autumn pays in gold his debts
For tenancy that Summer yields.
Bcauty'S SLOW harvest now comes in;
New promise with fuliilmcnt won:
The heart s vast hoTe does but begin,
Filled with ripe seeds of sweetness gone.
Because its myriad glimmering plumes
Like II great army's stir and wave;
Because its gold in pillows blooms.
The poor mans barren walks to lave;
Because its shaped blossoms show
How souls receive the light of God,
And unto earth give back that glow
| love, | love the golden-rod.

My Love.

My love is pale, but in her cheeks
Faint rosy tlushes come and go,
That gather slightly when she speaks,
And sometimes deepen to glow.
She seems most like young white rose,
Within whose heart a blush is set,
Softly unfolding as it grows
But ah, | have not found her yet
Her eyes are blue sweet blue eyes
Her white lids veil them from your sight;
But now and then smile will rise,
And fill them suddenly with light;
And when she hears of some distress,
And on the laShes tears are wet,
They look with such panied tenderness
But all, | have not found her yet
Across her brow in even brads
Is smoothly laid her glossy hair;
My love has need of no false aids,
Or tricks of dress, to make her fair.
She does not need from silken trains
A gorgeous dignity to get;
In her soft homely dress She reigns,-
But ain, L have not found her yet
She wins your heart a hundred ways
Laying light hand on your arm,
Showing in all she does and says
A native deferential charm,
Moving about with quiet grace;
Such little things you soon forget,
Although they steal your love apace,-
But ah, have not found her yet
Her image in my heart wear;
My love, my faith, are all her own:
| keep my life prepared for her
When she shall come and take her throne.
| dream of what the world will seem,-
So much more bright, when we have
met;
l wonder, is it all dream p
For ah, have not found her yet

LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS.

LADIES SHOULD READ NEWSPAPERS.-
1t is great mistake in the female educa-
ton. to keep young lady's time and at
tention devoted to fashionable literature of
the day. If you would qualify her for con-
versttion, you must give her something to
talk,-givc her education with the actual
world with its transporting events,--urge
her to read the newspapers, and become
familiar with the present character and i'm
provcmcnts of our trade. History is of
some Importance, but the past world is
dead, and we have nothing to do with it,
Our thoughts and concerns should be for
the present world, to know what it is, and
to improve the condition of it. Let us
have an intelligent opinion, and be able to
sustain conversation concerning the men,
tai, moral, political and religious improve
ments of our times. see that each other s
feelings, and thoughts and actions are
pure and true then will life be such. The
wide pastures are but separate spires of
grass, the shectcd bloom of the prairics
but isolated flowers.

thals, we learn much that seems reliable
about these people.
The English Church Missionary Society
commenced operations among them in 1860,
and much has been done by the American
missionaries, Bachelor and Phillips, the
latter being the author of q Sonthal gram
mar. Hindoo and Bengalee schools have
been established among them, and the
Ganges Railroad runs through the territory
occupied by them. In 1865, there were
only three Sonthals who had become Chris
tians; the number has increased now to
perhaps five hundred.
These Sonthals are of the family of Coles,
one of the most numerous divisions of
these aboriginal races. From DR.. Ander-
sons recent book ON missions, we learn
that the Germans commenced mission work
among the Coles in 1915. Their first con-
vert was not made till after five years, but
at latest dates the number Of converts was
fifteen hundred, and that of nominal
Christians much larger. The native con-
verts have been mere efficient than the
missionaries in spreading Christianity.
THE sHANARs
The Shanars are tribe of devil ershp-
pers, found about $50 to 200 miles from
Cape Comorin, among whom, according to
DIR. Anderson there are now some five hun
dred native preachers, and 100 900 nominal
Christians, who contributed in 1866 $40, 600
in gold for religious purposes. The work
among these has often been attended with
the same physical phenomena spoken of in
connection with early rcyivals in Kentucky
and elsewhere in this Countrywide whip
like cracking of the hair, the violent jerk
ingS, etc.
In our own mission, great deal of our
success has been among the Chumai'S, and
other low castles, who ethnologically be-
long with the aborigines of the country
Some of our best native helpers, exhorters,
Bible agents, etc, are from among these,
and God may have Il great mission to be
accomplished through this clement, in re-
generating either portions Of the population
of India.

HEIGHT OF STONE MOUNTAIN.

Prof. J. f. Willet in communication
to the Christian Index and Southwestern
Baptist, states that he made a trigonomet-
rical estimate of the height Of Stone Noun
tain and ascertained it to be only five hun
bred and fifty-fve feet above the level of
the rails at the railroad station. Notwith-
standing the high authority above quoted,
we have stated that the mountain rises
above the plain more than one thousand
feet. Our reason for doing SO is founded
upon the following facts of recent observa-
ton:
Not long since party Of gentlemen
visited the mountain, with the view of
aiding one of their number in exploring
the cavity in the side of the mountain,
known as Eagles Nest. From the shelf in
the side of the mountoin, at least, seventy
five feet below the summit, the explorer
was let down swinging TO 4 rope, of which
about four hundred and thirty feet were
let out before the adventurer reached the
Eagles Nest, which is not half way down
to the base, or plain, out of which the
mountain rises. The rope TO which the
explorer was attached did not defect more
than ten degrees from the perpendicular
Thus, by actual measurement from the
summit to the Eagles Nest, it is Il perpen-
dicular distance OF more than four hundred
feet. AS the Eagles Nest is more than
midway from the base to the summit, the
mountain must be about one thousand
feet, or upwards, in height.
