as good religion, for person under the
weight of years to attempt to cheat him
self and everybody else by assuming, in
the very shadow Of the grave, light and
triAing manner, that one scarcely knows
how to restrain contempt. Respect for
gray hairs and sorrow which overbal-
ances all other feelings alone check and
hold it back How such hate to grow old
to what tricks do they resort to starve off
the approach of decay They try to light
a fire on the outside which should be
lighted within Their experience is, in
many things, very pleasant, but it is not
the experience which worketh hope, the
Christian hope. The flowers Of the heart
lie withered in dead past which can
never return; no buds Of promise, look
ing out toward the sunlight of the sky,
swell in their souls The past is gone,
and there is no future of immortal life to
beckon the heart away. The eye catches
no lustre from the radiance of heaven, the
brightness of the adorable Lamb, and now
is dim indeed, both from infrmity and
dependency. While the aged believer is
like the mariner who, as he nears the end
of his voyage to the Spice Islands, is al
ready RECALLED with the sweet odors Of the
cline he seeks the aged irreligious man
is as one sailing toward the frozen seas,
with whom the chilly breath is felt long
before the seas are reached. The cheer.
lessness of an old man whose heart knows
nothing of the warmth of divine love and
Christian faith is indescribable. Nothing
shows so great a stress of God mercy and
is greater proof Of the power of the Cos
pei than that even such coldness anC
| gloom can be dispelled by the Spirit o
God. Through the hard crust Of inveteT
ate habits of impiety grace can and doe
often penetrate The aged sinner nee'
not despair, for even his wilted heart ma.
revive with all the freshness CT a-spiritua
JOY, which is the foretaste and pledge o
eternal bliss.

SINGING FLAMEs.-If we lower glass
tube over a small jet of gas, we soon reach
a point where the flames leap spontaa
eously into song Atfrst the soundseeIIH
far remote, but gradually approaches -
til it bursts into wild scream that Ns
scarcely tolcrable The length of thaC
tube and the size of the jet determinU
the pitch of the note If we raise the
tube to a point where it is just ready to
sing, we shall find that it will respond to
the voice when the proper note is struck.
The flame, owing to the friction at the
mouth of the pipe, is thrown into vibra-
ton. The air in the tube, being heated,
rises, and not only vibrates in unison with
the jet, like the organ-pipe, selects the
tone which is adapted to its length, and,
in part governs the pulsation Of the
flame

THE PRAYER-sEEKER.
BY JOHN O. WHITTIER.

Along the aisle where prayer was mado
A woman, all in black arrayed,
Close yelled, between the kneellng host,
With gliding motion Of ghost,
Passed to the desk and laid thereon
A scroll which bore these words alone,--
Pray for me!
Back from the place OF worshipplng
She glided like guilty thing:
The rustic of her draperies stirred
By hurTying ieet, alone was heard
While, full OF awe, the preacher read,
AS out in the dark she sped:
"Prdy for me :"
Back to the night from whence she came,
To unimagined grief or shame!
Across the threshold of that door
None knew the burden that she bore;
Alone she left the written scroll,
The legend OF O troubled soul,-
Pray for me!
Glide on, poor ghost of woe or sin!
Thou leaVst q common need within;
Each bears, like thee, some nameless weight,
Some misery inarticulate,
Some secret sin, some shrouded dread,
Some household sorrow all unsaid.
Pray for us!
Pass on! The type Of all thou art,
Sad witness to the common heart
With face in veil and seal on lip,
In mute and strange companionship,
Like thee we wander to and fro,
Dumbly imploring as we go:
Pray for us!
All, who shall pray, since he who pleads
Our want perchance hath greater needs?
Yet they who make their loss the gain
OF others shall not ask in vain,
And Heaven bends low to hear the prayer
OF love from lips of self-despair:
Pray for US!
In vain Temorse and fear and hate
Beat with bruised hands against fate,
Whose walls of iron only move,
And open to the touch of love.
He only feels his burdens fall
Who, taught by suffering, pities all.
ErdyJo us!
He prayeth best who leaves unguessed
The mastery of anothers breast.
Why cheeks grow pale, why eyes o'erhow,
Or heads are white, thou needst not know.
Enough to note by many a sign
That every heart hath needs like thine.
Pray for US!

The last issue of the two papers of Jack
son come to us printed upon new type.
This is presumptive evidence that print
ers fair well there now. When we start
ed the first paper printed in that county
a town lot was worth from $40 to $25 dol
lars house rent from $l2 to $50 dollars
per year; board and washing at hotels,
81, 80 per week, and still printers had to
wear old clothes and went principally up
on promises to pay in the same manner
in which their patrons served them. That
was in the spring of 1915 and Jackson
had two or three hundred inhabitants.
The Standard, the offspring of the first
paper published there is to be in a few
weeks enlarged When we were connec-
ted with it, it was whig in politics. and
the first paper in the State of Ohio to
place Gen Taylor's name at the head of
its columns as its choice for the Presiden-
cy. Col Hughes at that time was known
as its editor. 1t soon passed into the
hands of G. D. Hebard and j. w. Laird.
