Reasons for Dressing Plainly on the Lords


/. 1t would lesson the burdens of many
who find it hard to maintain their places
in society.
>. 1t would lessen the force of the temp
tations which often lead men to barter
honor and honesty for display.
3. lfNthere was less strife in dress at
church, people in moderate circumstances
would be more inclined to attend.
I. Universal moderation in dress at
church would improve the worship by the
removal of many wondering thoughts.
., 1t would enable all classes of people
70 attend church better in unfavorable
weather.
6. 1t would lessen, on the part of the
rich, the temptations of vanity.
:. 1t would lesson on the part of the poor,
the temptations to be envious and mali

GUS pressure, and thus enable US to do more

HOME CIRCLE.
THE HONG AGO.


The following poem by B. F. Taylor, of Chi
cngo. ia one of the ,nos. exquisite production
in our language. 1t was originally published
anonymously, and has been claimed by numer-
GUS authors as their own:
Oh : a wonderful stream is the river Time,
As il glides through the realm of years,
With a faultless rhy thin and musical rhyme,
And broader sweep and surge sublime,
And blends with the ocean of years
How the winters are drifting like flakes of snow.
And the summer like buds between,
And the year in the sheaf-so they come and
they GO
On the rivers breast with its ebb and flow,
As it glides through the shadow and sheen.
There's magical isle up the river of time,
Where the softest ofairs are playing
There's cloudless sky and tropical cline,
and song as sweet vesper chime.
md the June where the roses are staying.
And the name of this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows of beauty and bosoms of snow
There are heaps of dust but we loved them so
There are trinkets and tresses of hair.
There are fragments of songs that nobody sings,
And part of an infants prayer;
There's a Lutte unswept and harp without
strings;
mere are OrOken vows, ana pieces OF rings,
And the garments that she used TO wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy
shore
By the mirage is lifted in air,
And we sometimes hear, through the turbulent
roar,
Sweet voices were heard in the days gone be-
fore,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh remembered for aye be the blessed isle.
All the days of life, till night
When the evening comes, with the beautiful
smile,
And our eyes are closing to slumber awhile,
May that Greenwood of soul be in sight

DRY Goods.

The Wholesale trade in dry goods during the
past week has been rather dull owing, doubt
less, to the heavy rains having made the roads
almost impossible. The stock of goods is con-
stantly being increased, and our principal
wholesale house is carrying the heaviest stock
it probably ever carried before at one time. A
heavy trade is anticipated for the spring.
