Love, Finite and Infinite.

| know what it means to love; but
have no conception of what love is when
it rolls in the bosom of an infinite God.
know what the feeling is to forgive iniqui-
ty but what conception have | of the
mercy of Him who, from age to age, sit
ting upon the circle of the earth watching
the numberless projections of miserable
men, shines through them ALL and still
forgives / know what light is as it shines
from my candle; but do know what the
sun is from that? l know what water is
when l take drop of it in my tumbler;
but do know the thunder of the ocean
from that? | know that when see God
He will be wise; but how little do know
OF the wisdom of God! ! know that He
will be just and merciful but how little do
know of His justice and mercy! l know
that he will be God of love, but oh, how
little do | know of the extent and grand
Cur'of that love! How imperfect are my
slender ideas as means by which to fash
ion, lift up, augment, enlarge, and carry
out this supremest attribute of the infinite
and eternal God! 1t is by these qualities
that | know my God but l know Him
only by specimens, by small samples. My
conceptions of Him are imperfect. l know
Him, and / do not know Him. He is
present with me | see Him in myself and
in others; yet | see him only as through a
glass darkly. Who that is finite can form
any adequate conception of God of such
purity and sweetness and volume as the
God whom we worship?-HcarY Ward

Woman and Dress.

From the New York Ledger
Do women talk about anything but
dress? Sometimes we doubt it.
AS you pass a pair of them i'll the street,
you catch such bits Of conversation as
these

BLACK silk is so genteel."
Il know it was made at home. She may
say it was imported from Paris, but know
better.N

You sit opposite them in the cars, and it
is the same thing. In church two bon
netsItouch each other, and a soft whisper
Of "Pompadour style" reaches you.
You go TO wedding, and it is the brides
dress that is discussed aud, absolutely,
we have heard ladies who had just shed
tears over the solemn burial services of 9
friend. alluded to the width of the hem on
Grape vail or the cost of the stuff in 9
mourning dress.
Clothes, clothes, clothes How we TOOL
not what we dO-always how we Ap
pear, not what we are :
1t is necessary to give some attention tC
these subjects, but it may be possible tC
frit life away on them so entirely that ther'
is nothing left for better things.

AT meeting in a frontier Western set
Element several present were stoutly OPP
posed to the organization of a Sunday
school. Not being able to agree, the meet
ing was breaking up when the chairman
said he had very important notice to
read to them. Quiet was soon restored to
hear this rather novel religious notice"
"Strayed-A large black mule. lie had
on halter when he left, and is branded
on the left hip with the letter :. Any one
returning said mule will he literally re-
Warded.n
The keen Sunday School Union Mission
AIRY quickly announced that he also had a
very important notice to give out.
"Strayed-A number of boys from theil
homes, near this place, this Sunday morn
ing. They had guns and fishing poles on
their shoulders when they left. They are
branded, by n holy God, ms sabbath
breakers. Any one returning said boys
and placing them in a Sunday school, viii
be literally rewarded at the day Of judg-
ment.n
The tact of that missionary carried the
vote in favor of Sunday school, and
those stray boys were duly returned

Infnnnce Of q NeMsnaner.

A school teacher, who has been engaged
a long time in his profession, and witnessed
the influence Of newspapers on the minds
of family of children, writes as follows ::
~ have found it to he the universal fact
without exception, that those scholars of
both sexes, and of all ages, who have had
access to newspapers at home, when COM
pared with those who have not, are better
readers, eXcelling in pronunciation, and
consequently read more Understandings.
They are better spoilers, and define words
with ease and accuracy.
"They obtain practical knowledge of
geography in almost half the time it re-
quires others, as the newspaper has made
them familiar with the location of the most
important places, nations, their govern
ments and dOings on the globe.
"They are better grammarians; for hay
ing become so familiar with every variety
of the newspaper, from the common place
advertisement to the finished and classical
Grafton of the statesman. they more readily

consequently analyze its construction with

n large and beautiful flag thrown to the breeze,
reminding one of days past and gone; but sup
ported by civilians who were made to rejoice
that the principles of the great National RRpub-
liean party had vanquished their foe and tri-
umphed over all opposition, burying in the
debris of partisan legislation all the SANDERS
and bitterness of an ungrateful enemy. AT
night there was II large audience assembled in
the court house, which was. beautifully deco
rated with two large flags and well lighted for
the occasion. Capt. Z. Goddard then introduce
ed Rev Henry Debose who spoke sor several
minutes, taking for his theme the words of
Davy Crockett, BE sure you're right and then
go ahead" Allen Garner, ESQ.,. was next call

THE TWINS.
BY T. BUCHANAN READ

From beautiful lake in the mountain
Two rivulets came down
With rustic and futter like ribbons oG blue
BY delicate breczes blown
DER beds of golden luster
In the shadow of rock and tree,
They sang the same tunes with their silvery
And clapped their hands in glce.
Der rocks with moses mantled
They eddied and whirled like waltzing pair,
I'LL, hand in hand, with laughter and leap,
They mingled their misty hair.
Ger the self-same lodges,
Singing the self.same tune,
They passed from April to breezy May,
Toward the fields Of June.
They whirled and danced and dalled,
And through the meadows slid,
TIL under the same thick grass and flowers
Their future course was hid.
l saw two beautiful children
OF one fair mother born.
Like two young clouds of golden hue
That smile on the breast of Morn.
The same in age and beauty,
The same in voice and size
The same bright hair upon their heads,
The same black in their eyes.
Singing the same song over,
In the self-same silvery tune.
They passed from April into May,
Toward the fields Of June.
They whirled and danced and dallied,
The beautiful dales amid,
Till under the same thick leaves and flowers
Their future course was hid.

a Psalm ef Deshair.

Petroleum V. Nasty has written som
touching lines over the result of the elec
ton. His psalm is as follows
We sed to Greeley, "Lo, we are week
carry us" And he answered, saying, II
WILL" and strateway climbed upon our
shoulders.
Wat Good bear such burden-wat Good
carry so great IA load and live.
! He he'd no strength and no strength had
we've tried to carry each other, and we
| founder in the ditch by the wayside.
Shood the foolish man ask me, Lo which

cy? | shood say Go tot is n conundrum

The jimpson weed falleth in the autumn.
but cometh up in the spring, but we hey'
fallen, and we shell never rise agin, for we
are dead at the root, and the seed is rotten
in the pod.
SIMPSONS hare wuz shingled. and he
wuz weak, but it growed agin and he wuz
strong.
But ours will not grow agin, for we hev
none to grow. Our enemies hev snatched
us baldheaded.
Now let me die, for the waters of woe
encompaseth me-
We played our left bower and our king.
but 10, our enemy held the right bower and
the ace to four-hush drawed we, but
we did not fill, and no stamps he'd we TO
raise EN- out;
We are cleaned out and nary sh AXE
hev we left.
The treasury will be safe, the taX-gath-
erer will live, the debt shell be paid and
we shell gnash our teeth.
For Grant shell reign and Boutwell, and
Fish and Sherman shell hold up his hands.
The repeaters shell languish for the law
shell be strong, and the kuklux shell hunt
their holes.
Life is a drcalnEnCpe deioosion, and
Greeley a snare. Let US die and be at
peace.
Life is a dream, hope n delOoshen, and
eXpectashen a snare.
Man goeth out in his strength and boast

October wuz pizen, but November wuz

AS November is colder than October, so
is the woe witch is on us now worse than
the woe we encountered then.
We offered EN- Greeley but they laf1t at

The Democrats rose in wrath sayin: FL

and not Greeley.
| The Republican sed: Lo, Greeley may
be yet a Republican, but his surrounding
are not pleasant to the smell. He is with
| Blair and Seymour. Kin a man tetcl
pitch and not be defiled? And he voted
| for Grant.

Rnstnn and Chicagn.

A telegram to the incinnati CODa@er-
cidt says, Chicago is still entitled to the
fire monument. In no respect, either of
space burned over, values destroyed, soce-
ty disorganized, or population made house
less, is there comparison between Chica-
COS great agony of thirteen months ago
and this Boston sorrow. Chicago burned
away and left only the ruin OF the city.
Boston has an air-hole burned up into it
from the wharves, not relatively larger
than the mantle and chimney place in an
ordinary room. This space is hardly one
fifteenth of the thick-roclled main land
part of Boston.

What glorious triumph We have achieved
in the election of Maynard. Never before were
so many important issues settled atany one ecc-
tion. MY policy has been endorsed-in Il
horn. The question of vcracity between the
President and the ex-Presidcnt has been finally
settled and the bloody chasm is filed up to
the very brim All these old dead issues have
been thrown into that awful, black, ugly
"bloody chasm, and their ferlilizing properties
have already caused the green grass to spring
up so that il resembles the rich pastures OF Cha
paqua farm. Young men and maidens meet
andmake merry where once yawned e'boody
chasm," Old men and matrons with solemn
tread and sedate countenance say as they pass
over, Marry young men and go West, go
West" and Let us have Peace"
Say TO Kicks or Rule, if you should chance to
meet either, that the returns in the office of Sec
rotary of State, indicate that the Republicans

Not a single case Of the mulady has appeared

come this high up yet it is well to be prepared.
The Union aud AnoeriedH says that the horses

irrtants over the glands of the throat, (which
are infamed), by the application of volatile
liniment, then covering the parts with blanket,
are the main points in the treatment The sick
horses have good blankets and good beds of
sawdust to stand or lie down on. AT present
there is no apparent diminution of horses or

have been shown to be those where the animals
were worked while sick or during convalcsence.

NEW PHASE OF THE DISEASE.

The New York World of Nov. 18th, says
Within the last few days the horse disease,
which has caused so much trouble in the thou
sands of stables in this city, has developed IA
new phase, especially in the city railroad stables
and among those horses which had the least dis
charge from the nostrils The geneI al suppo-
sition il that the matter, instead of being dis
charged, passed into the system, and now pro-
duces a species of dropsy, the animals legs and
body swelling to an enormous size. Several
animals have already died in great pain from
the new development of the disease The treat
ment adopted is rubbing the swollen parts with
a linimeht composed of camphor, hartshorn, and
sweet oil, and light doses OF physic. Several
valuable horses which have had the disease, and
TO all appearances had recovered from it, have,
on being taken out and driven with some speed
on the road, been taken with relapse from
which they have died.
