I've sought Thee where the incense burned
Beneath cathedral arches dim,
And high within the fabled Heaven,
Enthroned above Thy seraphim.
I've sought Thee through the binding
cloud
Wherewith the creedsmen hide Thy
face;
All cold within the.misty shroud
1t lacked for Inc the saving grace.
put aside the yelling years,
SO battling in their cloudy light,
And far above my binding fears
seek to see the Lord Alright.
All safe from Doubts uprising food,
I NOW with undimmed vision scan,
No lonely grandeur of the God
Thy simple majesty as man.
What comfort 10 the souls that bleed
Is that far God, unknown, unseen
But near in every human need,
Doth come the Christ, the Nazarene.
o, pilgrim in lonely land,
Alone thou wandered up and down;
Men followed, felt thy healing hand,
But no man ever saw Thy crown.
Thou gavest joy all men hold dear,
The marvel of thy gift to prove,
The home that holds men safe from fear
The childs sweet grace aud woman's
love.
Thou givest now in dearth and loss
Thy help, that We all good may gain
The strength that bears another's Cross
The lovo that soothes anOtheris Jain.
Tis not the thought that Jesus died
That comfort to my heart doth give;
But. more than all the world beside,
That ever more the Christ doth live.

MAKING SUNSHINE.

True dignity is never lowered by
politeness to the humblest in station,
yet many purse-proud or naturally
domineering spirits forget to be po-
lie, except to those considered
equals.
The ceilings Of the poor la5orec
are often wounded by orders, re-
bulls and snubs, and thus hurt. their
feet and hands almost re use to per-
form the service which waut and
necessities Of life compel them to
undertake. A smile and kind word
would make their hearts glad and
their work seem light.
1t is indeed hard to perform
thankless tasks under the rod of
severity and naughty, wicked man
created pride, which never "stoops
to words Of sympthy and encour-
agement to the toiler." but yet
stoops to meaness and oppression q
truly noble soul abhors.
It costs so little to be kind, and
brings such rich reward that it is
strange 40 few invest IF you
please" and 'thank you" arc chari-
y bestowed, except in society where
people assume an exterior polished
up for the occasion.
There is q class, however, who
never speak harshly to interiors in
mind, pocket or position; they are
the real gentlemen and ladies who
bless the world. Genuine people
of refnment who, through years OF
influences have attained a standard
where they do not fear to treat
every body with gentle kindness
and a degree of familiarity which
encourages the humblest creature
and difuses happiness. Upstairs
and would-be somebodies, who par
ade a spurious pride lest somebody
will not call them quality, are the
people who are most severe with
those beneath them in station. Ig-
norant aud coarse, they have only
money to give them precedence,
and many times those who do them
menial service stand far above them
in the type of human excellence by
which God measures each of us al
last.
There are comforts, however, oi
which only our own actions can
rob us, among which Is the con-
scioumess al doing our duty. and
Il We have that, IL yudsnsss end

looking forward to the future, We

We cannot help it; II our hearts
are worthy true. earnest purpose.
We do care for the opinion Of our
fellow creatures; and bitter words
leave sting!
I could forgive the person who
had misjudged me, and perhaps said
unkind things about me, and love
him Just as well after all was ex-
planned, but the person who comes
to me, repeating the unkind re-
mark, 1 could not, and would not
forgive.
We readily find excuse for friend
who, misunderstanding our motives,
censures our actions, to regret it
afterward; but what excuse can
there be for the misunderstanding
meddler who comes to us repeating
what a friend has said, in q hasty
moment? Does that person think
to prove to us that the true friend
is the one who brings the bones
from the table of scandal to lay at
our feet? Indeed, the dead and
buried sages of the past have left us
this proverb: "The dog that brings
a bone will carry one" And a true
friend will not repeat anything to
wound the feelings Of another, un-
less, by so doing the benefit to the
wounded heart is apparent and un-
mistakable.
Deliberation and reflection have
established in my mind the belief
that it is not our friends who repeat
to us the unkind remarks others
may make about US, or our actions.
L have my theory Of true. pure
friendship, but there are 30 few
hearts capable of approaching real
sentiment, in this whiriing, busy,
restless, age of the world, that I
shrink from the explanation of the
tender theory. Yet, it is not safe
to trust what YOU have not proved,
is it? And it sometimes takes
years to prove II friendship true.
Again I ask: Glow are we to
manage those unman .geable beings
who profess friendship for You.
settle themselves costly at your fire
$ de, partako of your hospitality,
and pretend to defend you from the
SANDERS of your enemies?
They tell You ever, thing anybody
says about you, (al,hough it is Il
mystery how they hear SO much
and while they deny any suspicion
in their own hearts rs to the truth
of what they have heard, they are
serene in contemplating your indif-
fercntly concealed misery.
Once, 1 thought l had found the
true way to rid myself Of my tor
menting friend. (?) "Alas. the best
laid plains Of mice and men often

lasting dismay that it is useless to

my plainly expressed opinion that
''it is only my enemy who will bring
me an unpleasant truth" than for
the wind futtering the leaves upon
the trees under which we stood.
People who dare be original, are
sometimes severely criticized, and il
the, have one of these serene,
smiling, disagreeable friends (?) to
report to them all the criticisms OF
the world, if their heart is in, the
least degree sensitive, they have a
good chance to be miserable a

The decline in the river continues at this

full rise Of seven or eight inches is reported
at Cairo, and at st. Louis the decline is not
so rapid. The upper Mississippi is falling.
and the Ohio rising at one or two points, but
not sufficient to justify prediction Of better

inches to Little Rock. and sixteen inches

after tightening her cargo by discharging some
200 tons here. The Phil Allin came in during
the morning, and was sent to the docks after
unloading. She will get dose Of paint and
some few repairs. Nothing Of importance
transpired during the evening. This morning
the City Of Alton came down about six O'Clock
and left at about nine am. for New Orleans,
well laden, without discharging nor adding
anything Of importance. The LaBarge yes
terday put out about two hundred tons of
freight. The Geo. w. Cheek brought up
good trip. The Belle Memphis had good

hot.
The tOwboat j. L. Hyatt came in this morn

The ferryboat Laura to-day brought down

The Dictator came in from above to-day

The general business Of the city during the
past week has been really active in many
branches. and in others the business done will
not exceed that Of the week previous. and was
largely in excess Of that done last year at this
time. The dry goods merchants who have
been engaged in receiving and asserting stocks
during the past ten days report better trade
even than they had anticipated. and expect q
large fall business, for which they are fully
prepared. Prices Of standard goods have not
changed materially, but are a shade frmer in
cotton goods. owing to an advance in the
staple. Our dealers. or a majority Of them,
continue TO sell at New York or Philadelphia
prices. and are daily receiving orders from
different parts of the South and West that
hitherto has gone to Eastern markets. The
boot and shoe trade has been active. perhaps
more so than any other leading branch from
the'fact that country merchants have permit
ted themselves to get entirely out Of stock du-
ring the summer. and are buying now in larger
quantities in consequence. Prices are quite
firm in the East, and stocks are said to be
light, with desirable goods difficult to obtain
at old prices. Our dealers having purchased
early in the season. can and are daily selling
as cheap as they can be bought in any Eastern
market. Tie hardware trade has been mod
erately active, but not as lively as many sup
posed il would be. Hats and caps, millinery.
and other similar trades. are doing good
business for the season. In the general mar
ket business during the week has been more
active than since the close Of last seasons

been fair. and with some exceptions nearly
