GODS SUNSHINE.


BT nKRrA NAY, MADISON, Wis.
They say that the brilliant eolors
We see In the evening skies.
The rich warm glow Of the ruby,
The forests Autumn dyes,
The oarmiDe Of the oakleAf,
The naples gol den hue,
The roses blushing beauty,
The sky's celestial blue,
The colors lyon painting,
Wrought by a masters might;
Arc all like rainbow glones,
Reflections the light.
To dav ! have been wondering
II Toe oar sslvss are. TOO,
Reflections Of the sunlight,
Code -unlight pare and true.
In lands that oil in darkness"
Away DER the vide, deep sea,
None everssw the radiance,
That shines on you and me.
Their souls are lark as midnigh
who live without the day.
They cannot upon e'hers
Reject one Oh eering ray
Tot IN This land o. sunshine,
Star Of The west ern skies,
Are some, who. like dull earth clods,
Reject no radiant dyes;
And yet me'hinks, within them
Are jewels rich and bright.
0frare aud perfect lustre,
II only brosghtto bgh.
And some with frosty gli,tsr
Send back the bril- light,
Like cry stall snow in wiuter,
Or diamonds, ID and bright
Aud sons, like heavy storm clouds,
Absorb each lustrous ray,
Yet give back no reflection,
Rut sombre seem, nd gray,
And yet, sometimes. the sunshine
Falls with such melting rays,
Ihai even the dark storm cloud
With glory seems 20 blaze.
And 50, sometimes. Gods sunshine,
Comes with such warmth Of Love.
That even these cold spirits
Shine like the skies above.
Some, like the golden Topaz,
Reject With steady glow,
The light of truth and beauty,
Welcome where'er theY go,
Like tn iridescent OPAL
some hi6e in theirown heart
The lustre ofthe sunshine
Or with a wondrous art
Send forth in tn n each color,
Each bri liant. RAINBOW dyes
The changing leafs rich crimson,
The azure Of the sky.
God send His glorious sunshine,
Upon these hearts Of ours,
That they msy shiue in beauty,
Throughout our earth ~ hours
Then when this life IA DER,
To rest wen lay US down.
And Christ shall take the jewels,
Aud wear them in HIS crown.

A Wife's Power.

The power Of wife, for good or evil, Is r.
resistable. Without one, home must be for
ever unknown. 4 good wife is to e man wis
dom, courage nnj strength; bad one is con-
fusion. weakness and despair No condition Is
hopeless to q man where the wife possesses
irmness, decision and economy. There IS no
outward property which can coun:eFact indo-
lence, eztrayagance and folly at home. No
spirit can long endure bad influence. He de-
lights in enterprise and action, but to sustain
him he needs tranquil mind, and especially
if lie is an intellectual man, with a whole head,
he needs his moral forces in the conflicts Of life.
To recover his composure, home must be &
place Of peace, of comfort. There his soul 'e-
news its strength an6 goes forth with fresh
vigor to encounter the labor and troubles Of
lie. But If at home be finds no rest, and is
there met with bad temper, sullenness, Jealousy
and gloom, or is assailed by complaints and
censure, hope vanishes and sinks into despair.
Such is the case with 700 man. who, it might
seem, have no conflicts or trials of life for
such is the wife's power.

Funeral Fees.

4 bill was introduced into The Indiana Le-
gislature by Gen. Blocher, fixing the fees for
preachers officiating at funerals and making
the same lien on the estate Of the deceased.
No action was taken till the closing session Of
the House. when a member called it up. The
following Is transcript Of the onlcialrgIster
Il. Speaker: reckon it Is o leeilc too late
in the moon to take any-action on ,his bill and
therefore shan't have much to say about it.
| only regret that the bin didn': pass for l
don't thiul, there's any class Of people more
deserving or more entitled TO consideration or
who get less Of it than the preachers. I'm
tired Of seeing preachers working for nothing
and begging for living. The fact is, in this
country there's three ways of getting living
"A fellow must either work, beg or steal and
I'm sorry to say that the preachers down our
way, though they work hard enough, have to
beg to get along
Mr Thayer. world ask the gentleman
from Scottif the preachers in his section Of
country derive the chief part Of their income
from preaching funeral sermons
Gen. Blochcr No, sir the preachers down
CIR way have to cut hcop-poles for living
Why, it was only short time ago, down
there, went out 20 get preacher to preach
a funeral sermon, and foundhinin the woods
with a load of hoop-poles on his back, and
there weren't enough clothes on that man to
wad shot gun. think this bill ough. to
have passed, and ny only regret is that it fail
ed to receive proper consideration.
And the General sat down amidst q perfect
storm af applause.

County Papers.

The following is what the Cincinnati Trade
list thinks Of those characters who complain
of their county papers, and instead Of helping
to support it, send or '1r large city papers, and
thus help to sustain them:
"A gentleman writes to us that his county
paper is so poor that he has.s'opped it there
fore sends us three do,lars for the TRADE List.
We repeat that we don't want subscribers on
those terms. 4 mans county paper is worth
more to him than any other paper in the world,
Or. if it is not, it is his own fault. IL the
county paper is properly encouraged, it may
be relied upon fcr information Of more value
to the people in whose interest it is Issued,
than can be found in all the city papers in the
United States. No man can afford to stop the
paper that publishes the official advertisements
of his county, the public sales, markets, court
news. and other local Intelligence. If the pa
per is poor, the people are more at fault than
the publishers for not giving it liberal patron
age However poor the county paper may be,
it is always worth more than it costs to those
interested in the affairs Of the locality"

Everlasting Fence Posts.

The correspondent Of Tho Western RnTal
says I discovered, many years ego, that wood
could be made to last longer than iroa in the
ground, but 7 thought the process 90 simple
and inexpensive that it vas not worth while
making any stir abou. it. I would as soon
have poplar, bass-wood or quaking ash, a9 any
other kind Of timber for fence posts. I have
taken GU. bas9-wood posts, after having been
set seven years, that were sssound when taken
mp as when they were first put in The ground.
Time and weather seemed to have no effect on
them. The posts can be prepared for less than
two cents a piece. For the benefit Of others I
will give the recipe: Take boiled linseed oil
and stir in it pulverized charcoal, to the con-
sistency Of paint Put a coat Of this on the
timber and there is not a man who will live
to see it rot.

A POSTAL MYsTE8Y.-Regularly every to
weeks for the past six years a letter has been
received at the post Office in Manchester \.
H., addressed to Dr. --, evidently by the
same hand. The caligraphy is good, and is
evidently that Of lady. The name is entered
on the list time after time and no one has ever
claimed one Of them. Af.c- laying at the Of
fee the time specified by law, the letters are
sent, ono after another, to the dead-letter Office
at Washington. On-one occasion one of the
letters was returned from the dead-iet:er Office
because it contained some triGe Of lace, which
the department was dcsrous should be return-
ed to the writer The letter gave no clae as
to who or what the writer was and was signed
simply Cmcline" This name was entered
on the list, but no one ever claimed the letter
or the bits Of lace. Ano:ie- strange feature of
this case is that the oldest inhabitant" never
heard Of any man ofthe name the letters bear,
and 80 the whole matter remains mystery
year after year.-Bosion AIrrfzer

Spare the Birds.

Here what Mr.. Fulton Of the Baltimore
american who is now travelling in Europe
says in regard to their treatment in Germany
The birds of Germany, like the crows Of
Ireland, ere the pets Of the people, both in the
city snd country They are so tame that
many OF them build their nests inside Of the
houses, and are never disturbed b. old or
young. Throw down few crumbs and they
will come down from trees and almost eat out
Of your hand. The consequence is that fruit
growers never suffer from the invasion Of
worms, and the plum and damson which has
almost disappeared from our markets, grows
here to the greatest perfection The holidays
are not distinguished, as with US, by a throng
Of boys with shot guns pouring into the coua-
try and Staying out Of mere wantonness the
feathery tribe, which is regarded here as an
efficient colaborer to the agriculturst.

FooD FOR PoULTRY ~ WGSTER.-A change
Of food is rs essential to the health and pro-
ductiveness Of fowl as to any other Of animal
life. Give barley, broken peas, corn, wheat,
rye. oats, and once or twice \ week make mp q
mixture Of corn meal, say in proportions as
follows, 7iz: To one quart Of meal add three
tablcspoonfuls Of finely pulveriEed charcoal
and one tablespoonful Of ground Cayenne per-
per. Poultry fed in this manner will be rare
to find with pip, Group, cgs or feather-eating
propensities.

DYING HYMN.
BY ALICE carr.

Earth with It's dark and dreadful Ills
Recedes and fades away,
Lift up your heads, ye heavenly hills
Ye gates Of Death, give way
Ny soul is full Of whispered songj
Ny blindness is MY sight:
The shadows that | feared so long
Are all alive with light.
The while my pulses family beat,
Ny faith doth so abound,
feel growing firm beneath my feet
The green, immortal ground.
That faith TO me a courage gives
Toward the grave to gof
know that my Redeemer lives
That shall live l know.
The palace walls almost see
Where dwell my Lord and King
o grave, where is thy victory?
q Death, where is thy sting
