SOME DAY.

Some day the sun will be shining
On rose and peoples in bloom
And some day the moaning and pining
Will stop at the door of tomb.
Some day the hearts happy fuluess
Will yield TO reeloniugs of pain;
Some day .lifes Observation-Disclosures
Will drop from the poor fevered brain.
The strife, and the toll, the defending,
The many at war with the few,
Must all one day have an ending
The false put away from the true.
Some day the dream will be broken,
Some day the vail will be rent down,
Some day the bitter words spoken,
When the bright things have faded and aowi
Some day the years will be going
On, on, with new pledges--they must
And some day the grass will be growing
Der hearts THEN but pitiful dust.
But the sobbing, the moaning and crying,
Or the storm, though it battle and rave,
Meier shall rohse u.s. so peacefully lying
So far from it all in the grave.
And down with all hoping and greving,
The loves and the hates passed away
We shall joy to know we are leaving
Earth's empty possessions, SOME DAY.

preach, and at last he was handed over to
Smith to make an end Of the case. Weeks felt
he had special call to the ministry. Smith
began By elicitng from him an expression Of
belief in every part Of the Bible, and then said
Well, if I can prove by the Billie, that
you are not called to preach, win you be sat

Brother Weeks assentcd TO this, and " Ra-

tone read How beautiful are the. feet Of

then, alancing at Weeks monstrous feet re-
