THE CROSS.

Greater the cross the nearer heaven,
Oodisss, to whom no cross Is given
The noisy world In masquerade
Forgets the grave, the worm. the shade;
Blest 10 you dcarcr child OF God,
On whom he lays the cross, the rod.
Bless, by whom most the cross IL known;
God whets Us on his grinding stone:
Full many = gardens dressed In vain,
Where tears Of sorrow never rain.
In fcrccst flames the gold is tried,
In gricfs the Christians purified.
Midst crosses, Faith her triumph knows;
The palm-,rce pressed more vigorous grows
Go, tread the grapes beneath thy feet
The stream that lows 10 full and sweet;
In trouble, virtues grow and shine,
Like pearls beneath the ocean brine.
Crosses abound love seeks the skies;
blow the rough winds, the flames arise;
When hopeless gloom the wclkis shrouds;
The sun comes laughing through the clouds;
The cross makes pure affection glow,
Like oil tina, on the fire We throw.
Who wears the cross prays of aud we'll;
Hrnisef herbs send forth the sweetest smell
Were ships ne'cr tossed by stormy wind,
The Pols-star who would care TO find7
Had David spent no dnrksomc hours,
His sweetest song had ne er bccr ours
From trouble springs the longing hope;
From the deep vale We mount the slope;
Who treads the deserts drcaricst way,
For Canaan most will long aud pres
Here finds the trembling dove no rest,
Flies to the ark, and builds her nest.
Heavy the cross, cen death IL dear,
The sufferer sings--his end is near:
From sin aud pain lie bursts away;
Trouble shall die that very day.
The cross, you siicn, grave adorniug,
l,espeaks bright, triumphant morning.
Greater the cross, the loyclicr rays
The crown prepared Of God displays,
Treasure, by many a conquror worn
Who wears II now before the throne.
oh think upon that jewel fair,
And heaviest grirfs are ligh, as air.
Dear lamb Of God. enhance thy cross
More aud yet more; all else IA druss;

Plant thy own patience in my bicast
To guard me, faith, hope, love combine,
Until the glorious crown he niue.

The spirit Of improvement raised here by our
new District government has wrought not only
a magical change in the appearance of our
streets, avenues, and waste places in the way
of public work, but has developed a co6pera-
tive spirit on the part Of private citizens,
corporations. and government officials. A
public spirit has been created, and a civic pride
evoked that promises almost As much in behalf
of the future growth and prosperity of the city
as the grand system of public works now under
way. The magnificent private residences
erected on a scale to correspond with our wide
streets; the extensive improvements made upon
the government grounds by Gen. Babcock,
Architect Clark, Architect Mullett, and other
ofscials all join in the general line of progress
