THE VOYAGE OF FAITH.
BIZ JOHN b. sMlru.


A gallant bark sailed out for port,
With prosp'rous breezes ehoering
The helmsmRn buoyant steered her on,
The tempest never fearing.
The sea was placid where she rode
No angry wilve assailed her:
The sky wore clear, unelouded blue,
And sportive zephyrs hailed her.
Each locker on upon the shore
Turned hopefully, soothsayer,
And said the gallant bark vas safe,
For wind and wave obeyed her.
Her white spread sails embraced the wind
And grace seemed in her motion
Oh surely no such noble bark
had. ever rode the ocean.
a few days out-the treaeh'rous sea
G1ew weary ofits smiling;
Its angry passions broke their bounds
Aud ragged beyond beguiling.
The hsavens hid their azure dome,
With black clouds frowning under,
And foiked lightnings pierced the skies,
To peiIing elaps of thunder.
The tempest gathered ali its strength,
And than went madly breaking
Aronnd, above the gallant bark,
It's sturdy timbers shaking,
The hslmsman bFavely kept his post,
The storm and tempest daring,
And steadiiy he steered her on.
Though weary and despairing,
At last a light broke through the storm,
First faint and dimly burning;
The helmsman saw its feeble gleam
With eager hope returning.
His heart caught IN the trust of Faith
"a haveas there,'' he uttered
And then he turned the vessels course
To whsie the faint ray huttered.
And steadily he kept her on,
The lighs still stronger growing,
Until a lighthouse Ioomed in sight,
Its brilliant beacon showing.
And soon from out the raging storm
The galhnt bark was resting,
Safe, safe Fithin shelt'ring port,
No NOR the fierce waves breasting.
How marF proud and gallant bark
Goes ou5 upon lifs's ocean,
With prosp'rous H'inds to fill its sails
And grace to guide its motion
That neyG has helmsman true,
Amid tie storm discerning
The beacon light Lit up above,
Foreverbrightiy burning.
How many gallant bark goes down
Beneath the tempest, sorrow,
That might have found Faiths shelt'ring
Upon q brighter morrow. lport
Oh, let US on Iifs's stormy sea
Faiths beacon be discerning;
1t viii not fail-God gives the light
And angels keep it burning.

Mr.. EDIToR:-The captain under
which 1 write would seem to indi-
cate that an essay on the attach
ment of persons for each other was
to be forthcoming, but it is only to
tell you and your many readers of
our Church, which is situated two
miles west of Prospect. This
Church is in the room of the Pros
pect Church, from which the cir
cult derived its name. Rev. Mr.. R
L. FAGIN is the preacher in charge.
He is destined to do good here this
year, for the earnestness with which
he labors is sure to be crowned with
success, and the Iaborer have souls
for his hire, success while he lives,
and the reward Of the righteous in
the world which is to come. We
noticed in the CITIZEN reports of
several of our sister Churches, stat
ing their great success IN holding
Sabbath Schools, and the charming
entertaining Of their respective con-
gregations with vocal music. We
have a Sabbath School here which
was instituted last August. 1t is
the only school that did not freeze
out last winter, so I think we have
the preference. Our school is IN
der the superintendent of JOHN z.
GILBERT, who was elected at its or
ganization. He is a live and ener-
getic man, one who is always at
his post ready to discharge his du-
ty. We have a choir, under the
supervision of S. F. BrLEs, the wen
known and highly esteemed music
teacher. In our singing some time
since we so completely charmed
our pastor, Mr.. FAeIx, that in the
midst Of the performance he arose
from his seat and said that asuch
singing would drive the devil ont
fthe hollow" The fact is it was
splendid singing, Mr.. Editor, and
as I know you to be a lover Of music,
I wish you could have been there

A WOman's Friendship.

It is a wondrous advantage to a
man, in every pursuit or avocation,
to secure an adviser in a sensible
woman. In woman there is at once
a subtle-delicacy of tact and plain
soundness of judgement which are
rarely combined to an equal degree
in man. A woman, if she really be
your friend, will have a sensitive re
gard for your character, honor and
repute. She never eounsels you to
do an imprudent thing. A mans
best female friend is a wife Of good
sense and heart whom he loves and
who loves him. But supposing the
man to be without such an help
mate, female friendship he must still
have or his intellect will be without
a garden, and there viii be many an
unheeded gap even in its strongest
fence. Better and safer Of course,
are such friendships where dispari-
tY of years or of circumstances put
the idea Of love out of the question.
Middle life has rarely this advan-
tage youth and old age have. We
may have female friendships with
those much older, and those much
younger, than ourselves. Female
friendships are to a man the bull
wark, and sweetness the ornament
of his existence.

Managing aHusband.

"How do you manage your hus-
band, Mrs. Croaker? Such a job as
I have of it with Smith"
Easiest thing in the world, my
dear; give him a twitch backward
when you want him to go for
ward. For instance you see to-day
/ had loaf of cake to make. Well,
do you suppose because my body is
in the pastry room that my soul
need be there too? Not a bit Of it.
/ am thinking of all sorts Of celesti-
al things the while.
"Now Croaker has a way of tag
ging round at my heels, and cring-
ing me plump down, in the midst of
my aerial flights, by asking me the
price of the sugar I am using.
sFWeH you see, this drives me fran
tic! and yhen / woke up this morn
ing and saw the furious storm ra-
ging, I knew I had him on my
hands for the day unless I man
aged right, so I told him that I ho-
ped he wouldn't 60 out to catch his
death such weather: that if he was
not capable oftaking care of him
self I should do it for him; that it
was a lonesome, rainy day-and l
wanted him to stay at home with
me; at any rate, he mustn't go ont;
and 1 hid his umbrella and India
rubbers. Well Of course he was
right end up Gust as I expected)
and IN less time than ten minutes,
was streaking down the street at the
fearful rate Of ten knots an hour.
ssYou see there nothing like un-
derstanding human nature. 1t is a
womn's 5 place to post herselfin this
branch Of her education"
Firmness is q most sterling quail
ity. Happy those who cultivate it.

The Judge that Would not Get
Mad or Swear.

The Judge that Would not Get
Mad or Swear.
Not long since a dignifed Ken
lucky Judge heard his friend Jones
cursing and ranting in a crowd
The Judge told him that he was as
tonished to hear him go on at such
a rate. Jones replied that no liv-
ing man could keep from it, having
the cause that he had for so doing.
The Judge replied that nothing
could N IKE him get mad or swear,
whereupon Jones proposed betting
him ten dollars that if he remained
in that crowd fifteen minutes he
would both get mad and swear
The Judge replied that his dignity
as an officer of the law forbid him
betting but he would undergo the
ordeal, remarking to the crowd that
he would show them what manly
forbearance was. Thereupon the
crowd began to use all manner of
means to throw the Judge out of
level. They spit upon him, cursed
him, threw guilds of tobacco in his
facial to no purpose. At last,
some fellow struck him full in the
face with arotten egg. The Judge
took out his handkerchief and qui-
city wiped it of, then taking out
his watch and looking at it said
Gentlemen, / have just two min
utes longer to play the christian
martyr for the fun of this crowd
Then, I viii be constitutionally
G-d-nd if I don't whip the d-n
scoundreI that hit me with that rot
ten eggr' Jones roared with laugh
ter and left, but he does not know
whether the Judge whipped that
man or not. One thing he does
know, however: the Judge never
played martyr again. WoLFoRT.

Fnnnd GniItv-

The jury in the case of Laura D.
Fair, the murderess of A. 2. Crit
tenden, of San Francisco, remained
out forty minutes when they return
ed a eerdict of murder in the first
degree. The prisoner appeared pa
Ter than usual, when taken from the
court room, but was otherwise un-
moved. The verdict was not believ-
ed possible within the past week,
nearly every body expecting the tri
al to prove a perfect farce, ending in
the acquittal of the prisoner or a
disagreement of the jury. Nine
tenths of the community regard the
verdict as a just and proper vindi-
cation of the law, and a merited re-
buke to the shameful doctrines of
free love which were put forth in
the defense of the case.

Josh Billings.

Henry Shaw, "Josh Billings"
was born at Lanesboro, Berkshire
county, Mass, where his father own
ed four or five farms, of several hun
dred acres, and was considered to
be worth 100000 at the time
Of his death. He was odd to the
last degree, and when he married,
drove with his intended bride to
New Lebanon, New York, where he
was united to her by Justice Of the
Peace for one dollar. The squire
had ten children flour sons and six
daughters(, Of whom JOSH the
second, fully inherited his fathers
oddity. Josh is now about fifty
years OF age, tall. round shonldered,
and with an indeseribable comic ex-
preston on his face. He is now
supposed to be worth 100000.

F0x Hnnting in England.

There are in England no less than
$50 REGISTERED kennels of fox hounds
with staff, stud and equipments as
complete as those ofa army corps.
Many of them are supported by sub
scription; others, as the Duke of
Beaufort's, are maintained at private
expense. So enormous is the cost
of supporting and hunting these
packs, that not a few Masters Of
Hounds expend from $4,000 to
1900 per annum over and above
their club receipts, all for the honor
of the position. The clubs number
from one to three hundred mem
bers. Each member keeps at least
one horse and hack, many Of them
half dozen. As good hunters cost
from fIOOto $500, some idea may
be had of the extravagant cost of
hunting the fox in England

There is Room.


We sometimes go to public lee
lures or other places Of amusement
and the announcement is made that
the seats are all occupied and there
is no room. How sad viii it be to
US if it is announced when we come
to die that heaven is full--aH the
seats are occupied-there is no
room! But we feel thankful to
God that there is room in heaven
for all of earth's billions. Millions
have been invited, have accepted,
and now sing the song Of redemp-
tion at the right hand of God on
high. Yet there is still ROOM
There are seats yet unoceupied;
green fields yet unexplored, and
bright harps for other hands to
strike. There is room for all. Let
friend say to friend 'there is roomT
Let the husband say to the wife,
and the wife to the husband, "there
is roomr' Let the teacher say to
the class "there is room2" Let the
minister say to the world "there is
roomr Oh, that the words might
be whispered in the ears of all of
earth's inhabitants that all might
seek to enter that capacious man
sion. May we all strive to enter,
that the seats may be occupied and
that heaven may be filed with hap
py, rejoicing christians. If there
is any vacant spot in all the uni
