" KEEP HEART"
l. vIRGINIA rRENcH.

Keep heart brave comrades True-this way Of ours
Lies DER the rugged hills and sleeps Life
Where must not expect to walk on flowers,
But brace ourselves to meet its toll and strife
Then let not too faithless be, and fearful
Though treading with tired feet thorny way
But, with a courage hopeful still, and chSerful,
Bear on the cheat and burden Of the day"
Keep heart my brother! Though the clouds may
hover
Low on our pathway like a sable pail,
Our Father is beyond the cloUds,-moreOver
His loving kindness reigns above them all.
Storms but more deeply root the stately forest
And, when misfOrtme's stroke falls thick and
The stoutest heart is often shaken sorest
To make it firm and steadfast to the last!
Keep heart brave comrades Tho this night of
sorrows
When aching eyes are filed with unshed tears,
Worn with agony of doubts and fears
We grow weary Of these self-denials,
FoTgetful of our hope and faith sublime
Never remembering our fercest trials
Are only born of Earth-and die with Time
Keep heart my brothers In our human blindness
We oft mistake the blessing for the curse.
We oft forget Fathers loving kindness
Can bring sebetter7" from the seeming ''wOrse. -
How many a castle we have seen To crumble!
All ''dust and ashes"-failing TO decay
Our plans are naught,-God keep us truly humble,
Willing to wait His time-and place,-and way /!
Keep heart brave comrades! Thro' the stormiest
weather
Together We have met both wind and tide,
As friends upon the waters dark together
Your boats have brayed the danger,-side by side
Is this not something? Surely you can bear it,
For soErow would have had keener dart,
If those you love and honor did not share it;
None near to Whisper COmradesi J keep up
heart!"
Keep hearts my brothers Let us leave off trying
To win Iife's golden summit at a bound:
Becauge must begin-despite our signing
To climb the ladder slOwly-rOund by round
Let life be full Of honest, strong endeavor
Fearing not Fate's decree, or Fortunes frown-
Let principle be guiding-star forever,
And perseverance, win the victor's crown!

/ g kissed her hand respectfully, that
of her daughter tenderly, and with

and every day. I was received with a
kindness that each visit increased /; I
was looked on as one of the family It
was who now gave my arm to Mad
ame de Belmont to conduct her to the
evening parties; she presented me as
her friend and they were no longer
dull to her daughter. New-year's day
arrived. I had gone the evening before
to sheepfold In the vicinity to pur-
chase lamb, similar to that I had kill
ed. I collected from the different hot
houses all the Towering rose-trees I
could find; the finest of them was for
Madame de Belmont; and the roses of
the others were wreathed in a garland
round the feecy neck of the lamb. In
the evening I went to nay neighbors'
with my presents.
"' Robin and the rose-tree are re-
stored to life, said I, in offering my
homage, which was received with SEN
sibility and gratefulness.

hands.

Amelia is still to my eyes as beautiful,

"reminiscences of Old Kentucky
Times.

The skill of old Kentucky hunters is
a matter of history, and the pithy say
ings of these men have passed into
proverbs. The shotgun was unknown
in frontier life, or, if known, looked
upon with contempt. The bear, the
deer, and the wild turkey We're the game
the old hunters went in quest of but,
when they could not be found, the rifle
was sighted at the squirrel, and the ball
sent whizzing through the head. To
hit the squirrel in any other place than
the head was the sign of poor marks
man, and a poor marksman was held at
a great discount by the hardy piQneers.
But times have greatly changed. The
old hunters are fast being gathered in
the fold of death, and a new race of
shooters have come upon the carpet.
The larger game has disappeared before
the advanced tide of civilization, so
that a rife is of very little practical
value now. Birds, which cleave the
air on rapid wing, are the things that
excite the enthusiasm of the sports
man. and In order to cut them down In
sportsmanlike way the shotgun is
called into requisition. Notwithstand-
ing the times have altered 50 much, it
is pleasant to drift through the reminis-
cences of pioneer life, and to recall the
glorious reign of the rife.
One of the most celebrated shots of
Kentucky is DR.. G. Graham. His aim
was next to infaIlible, and IN his younger
davs he killed as effectively at long
range as at short range. The Louis
vile COurier-JOuTuGt tells that he could
ring the bell or take the bulls eye at
every shot a distance of 200 yards,
while a turkey stood little chance of
retaining life if ne drew a bead on it at
100 yards. For half a century the doc
tor used a favorite rifle Of primitive
make which he christened Blucher
The gun was always kept in the very
best condition, and he loved it as fondly
as he could have loved a child The
barrel was thirty-three inches long, and
the bore nine sixteentbs Of an inch,
carrying thirty-two balls to the pound.
The doctor is now an old man, and he
has bequeathed his rife to posterity.
He has placed it IN the museam at
Louisville, and it hangs side by side
with the rifle that proved such terror
TO the Indians IN the hands of Daniel
Boone. It is well to treasure up these
relics of frontier life, for they are a
part Of the history of the State that
once was looked upon by the civilized
world as " the dark and bloody ground. -

Is There a God ?

How eloquently does Chateaubriand
reply to this inquiry:
There is a God The herb of the
valley, the cedars of the mountains
bless Him; the insect sports in His
beams the elephant salutes Him with
the rising orb of day; the bird sings
Him in the foliage; the thunder pro-
claims Him in the heavens; the ocean
declares His immensely; man alone has
said, 'sThere is no Godi !" Unite in
Thought at the same instant the most
beautiful objects in nature; suppose
that you see at once all the hours of the
day and all the seasons of the year a
morning of spring and a morning of au-
tumn; a night bespangled with stars
and a night covered with clouds
meadows enabled with flowers, and
forests heavy with snow; fields gilded
by tints OF autumn; then Ialone
you will have a just conception OF the
universe. While you are gazing on the
sun which is plunging under the vault
of the west. another observer admires
him emerging from the gildcd gates of
the east. BY what incOnceivable magic
does that aged star, which Is sinking
fatigued and burning In the shade of
evening, reappear at the same instant,
fresh and humid with the rosy dews Of
morning? AT every instant of the day
the glorious orb is at once rising, re-
splendent at monday, and setting IN
the west or rather our senses deceive
us, and there is, properly speaking, no
east, west, north, or south IN the world
EVERYTHING reduces itself to a single
point, from whence the king of day
sends forth at once triple light III
one substance. The bright splendOr IFS
perhaps that which nature can preseut
that IS most beautiful for while It
gives us an idea Of the perpetual mag
nificence and resistless power Of God,
it Exhibits at the same time a shining
image Of the glorious trinity
A STRANGE phenomena has, it seems,
been discovered by the British survey
ing ship Shearwater, which vessel, hav-
ing accomplished her task for this
season, has lately returned TO GalliPoh.
The labors of the surveying parties on
board have, says the Dardanelles cor
respondent of the Levant Herald,
been crowned with satisfactory results,
and one highly interesting fact has been
/ ascertained Of which the existence was
never before surmsed. 1t was found
that the proverbially rapid current

THE DRINKERS APOLOGY.
BY CARL BENSON

BY CARL BENSON.
Come now If 1 drink, where's the crime
Can you tell?
Look around u.s. All Nature is drinking as well
The earth drinks the dew, and the sun flowing
free
stoops to drinks of the wave from the cup of the
sea
The tree as ne plunges the roots in the ground
Through numberless months drinks the torrent
profound.
All dFinh-but man only, that scion divine.
While the others drink water, knows how to drink
wine;
And, measureless tippler, can boast he alone,
Having once drank enough, that he still can
drink on.
