In Heaven Wen Know Our own.
BY HANNAH ]. M'INTosu.

Thank God for the faith that teaches,
When the struggle of life is DER,
We shall meet our owll-our loved ones,
And shall know them al once more!
What matter though life be dreary,
And we tread its paths alone,
Il, When the Journey of lie IS ended,
In heaven we'll know our own?
SIM All rres yys,,eni fate s frowns are darkest
And clouds hide the fair blue Sky,
For the tender love of the lost ones,
Our souls will lvainiy cry.
Then, sweetly over our spirits,
flushing the hearts wild moan,,.
sComeS the whisper Of faith-be patient
And III Heaven we IL know our own.
And life and its cares grow brighter,
In the;light of this precious thought:
When the conflict ut last is over,
And the battle of life is fought,
And we work in faith and submission,
The victory shall be Won,
And in. Heaven where rest awaits US,
we shall meet and know our own.
And how will it be. I wonder
Shall those who are dearest here
Be dearest again An Heaven?
or think YOU when we stand so near
The throne of loving Father,
That his children, every one,
Shall seem, equally dear to each other?
Carauy be like our own?
wondcr-but there-no matter;
That belongs to the great To Be-;
And We'll seeall thesethinssmore clearly
In the light of eternity.
'Tis enough to know if were faithful
Till the labor of lite is done,
In the "sweet by and by y III Heaven
We shall meet and know our own.

ORIGIN OF DOMESTIC VINES
While Noah was planting his vine
yard, the devil cameto him and said
What are you doing here?' PLANT
ing vineyard, replied Noah. What
is the use Of vineyard? {? inquired
the devil. Said Noah, its fruit wheth-
er fresh or dry, (grapes or raisins) is
sweet and good; and its wine glad
dens the heart Let us work it on
shares says the devil. Agreed,
said Noah"
Now what does the devil do? He
brings lamb, a lion, a hog, and a
monkey, sacrifices them and mingles
the blood with the soil.
Therefore, if a man only eats of
the fruit Of the vineyard, he is as
nice and innocent as a lamb; if he
drinks aoine, he thinks he is lion
when he is not, and falls info mis-
chief; if he drinks ,habitually, he be-
comes as selfish and unmannerly as a
hog; if he gets drunk he jabbers
and jumps about, and is as silly and
nasty as monkey. .

of the lalmud.is the wisdom of God

The Grocery and Dry Goods
Trade of Augusta.

In connection with and outside of
cotton trade Augusta does fine bu-
siness both groceries and dry goods.
In the city are some large establish
ments in both lines and a number of
smaller houses, but managed by en-
terprising merchants who have their
full share Of American "go-ahead-
ativeness. The planters in the neigh
boringcounties depend upon Augusta
fortheir supplies, audience as soon as
the cotton crop is made and brought
10 town, the stores are thronged by
the honest tillers Of the soil, who
then purchase their winter stock Of
groceries and dry goods. The good
wife and the little ones at home all
expect something as soon as the cot
ton is sold and the wagons on their
return trips are filled almost as much
as when they left home with the
King" Then again in the spring,
when planting operations commence,
more supplies have to be obtained,
and large quantities of bacon, corn
and other produce, together with
goods to be disposed otto the Z" hands"
for clothing, are bought from the diff
ferent merchants, every planter hav-
ing preference for one or the other,
SO that each has his share Of the pat
ronage. At these two seasons, then,
orr merchants are especially busy,
but they by no means depend upon
this trade alone. A large local bu
siness is done both in dry goods and
groceries, the former, in particular,
being extensively patronized by the
ladies of Augusta. Then again the
smaller towns in the vicinity, both in
Georgia and South Carolina, obtain
their goods here from our wholesale
dry goods, grocery, drug, furniture,
clothing, book and shoe houses. In
fact, almost everything they wish can
be had in Augusta, and they seldom
go farther for their merchandise Of
all descriptions. New firms com
mence business every year and they
allseem to prosper.-Constit stitutionalist.

Cheer Him.

In one Of our large cities, fire
broke ont in a lofty dwelling. 1t was
near midnight, and the flames had
made headway before they were dis
covered. The fire companies rallied,
but the smoke had become so thick
that the outlines Of the house were
scarcely visible, and the fiery eie-
nent was raging with fearful power,
when Il piercing cry thrllleda all hearts
as they learned that there was one
person yet unsaved within the build
Ing. In moment ladder was
swung through the flames and plant
ell against the heated walls. and a
brave fireman rushed up its rounds
to the rescu'.
Overcome by the smoke, and per-
haps daunted by the Missing tlames
before him, lie halted and seemed to
hesitate. 1t was an awful scene. A
ilie hung in the balance, aud each
.aoment was an aSe.
Cheer him shouted voice
.roin the crowd and avid "hurrah !"
6urst like a tempest from the behold
ing multitude. That cheer did the
work, and the brave fireman went
upward amid smoke and flame, and
IN moment descended with the res
cued one III his arms.
Friend, brother, when you see a
brave soul battling with temptation,
struggling under the cross, rushing
forward to rescue dying men, and
yet faltering in an hour of weakness
or moment of peril, then "cheer
him T. And as a pebbles fall may
change rivers course, so your words
of sympathetic kindness may uplift
a dropping heart, and fix its faltering
purpose for noble life.
