THE EVENING REARTHsroNE.

THE EVENING REARTHsToNE.
Gladly now we gather round II,
For the toiling day Is done,
And the gray and solemn twilight
Follows down the golden sun.
Shadows lengthen on the pavement,
Stalk like giants through the gloom,
Wander past the dusky easement,
Creep around the hreli. room.
Draw the curtain, close tho shutters,
Place the slippers by the fire;
Though the rude wind loudly mutters,
What care we for wind sprite's iroI
What care we for outward seemingY
Fickle fortunes fr0wn or smile?
If around us love is beaming-
Love can. human ills beguile
Meath the cottage roof and palace,
From the peasant to the king,
All are quatiing from lifc's chalice
Bubbles that enchantment bring.
Crates are glowing, music flowing
From the lips we love the best;
Oh the joy, the bliss of knowing
There are hearts whoreon to rest
Hearts that throb with eager gladness-
Hearts that echo to our own
While grim care and haunting sadness
Mingle ne'or in look or tone.
Care may tread the halls Of daylight,
Sadness haunt the midnight hour,
But the weird and waning twilight
Brings the glowing hearthstone'H dover.
Altar Of our holicst feelings
Childhood's we-remembercd shrine,
Spirit ngs-soul- revealings,
Wreaths immortal round thee twine.

Hermas, the shepherd, listened TO

young man, GAN good gifts come from

came TO q dark hoyel, where ,there
was nothing but misery aud lamenta-

mother wcpt, whilst tho children
stood round naked and crying for

THE RAIN DROP.

Once from cloud drop of rain
Fell trembling in the sea,
And when she saw the widespread main,
Shame veil'd her modesty.
What place in this wide sea have II
What room Is left for mel
Sure II were better that die,
In this immensity
But while her self abasing fear
Its lowliness confessed,
a shell received and welcomed her
And pressed her to It's breast.
And nourished there the drop became
pearl for royal eyos--
Exalted by its losly shame,
And humbled but to rise.

CLERoYMES AND CuUnCn FINANCES
I'm tho Diocesan Convention of the
Episcopal Church for Ohio, in session
lately at Cincinnati, the question of
parish assessments for the support of
the Episcopato camo up. Judge Storer
took exception to the assessmcnt.ro
ported, and declared that no minister
should be on a Committee Of Finance;
that the laity should take care Of fnan
cal affairs, and ho said he never know
a minister who moddled much with
dnance that did not lose tho Christian
graces,
There is good deal Of truth in
what Judge Storor says. Clcrgymen,
as "a class, know little of business -
They look upon the end and object of
money to DO the advancement Of re
ligious work, and hence in all their
assessments they graduate their ideas
according to thoir sense Of the duty of
tho laity, not with reference either to
tho disposition or the ability of the
laity. If clcrgymvn had their way
they would beggar the laity in about
q twelve-month OF course they would
beggar themselves also. That tho
laity arc close listed may be true but
no man so feels tho value of money as
he who has worked hard TO make his
money. That the laity are too fond
of money is also true, but we must
take mon as they are, while the clergy
are for taking men as they, in the
opinion Of the clergy, ought 70 be-

+ PEofdsEb NEW FEATURE OF ODD-FE1Low-
IP.@-The lodges Of Odd-F Fellows in this
city have now iirdtr consideration scheme
which promises not only to be popular, but
to add materially to the usefulness of that
eminently charitable Order. It is plan OF
endowment insurance, similar to that which
has for some time been in successful opera
tion in the Order Of B'nai Birth. The ei-
feet, concisely stated, is that on the death O.
any Odd-Fellow taking part in the scheme
every member Of the district organization
pays about fifty cents, and these contrib,-
tions, amounting In the aggregate to $500 or
81 ,0G0, according TO the number of members
in the district, are Immediately paid over to
the widow Of the deceased.
The subject was brought to the attention
Of Friendship Lodge, No. 10, at a recent
meeting, and on the recommendation of a
committee consisting Of Messrs. \. Ezekiel,
J. a. Collins, and A. r. Courtney, which had
been appointed to consider the subject, reso-
lutions approving the scheme were adopted.
In the preamble it is set forth that in the
opinion of the lodge it would be eminently
wise and proper that the Independent Order
Of Odd-F should enlarge its system OF
charity in the manner proposed To this end
"a conference between the lodges of Rich
mond and Manchester Is asked with view
to uniting in putting the system into opera
ton as far rs the territory they occupy eX-
tends, and thereby at the same time extend
additional benefits to their members, aud en-
emplify and recommend the same to the
Grand Lodge. Such conference will soon
be held. Our readers shall be advised of the
result =. 5E
