"rIREp, so TIRED. :.


Tired, so tired
Heart and soul and brain
Utter the same sad plaint.
Feel the same dull, heavy pain;
Tired Of the ceaseless struggle,
OF the everlasting strife,
OF the weary waiting and yearning
That the children of men call ''lfe.n
Tired of listening for voices
That never will come any more,
waiting for the sound of footsteps
That have passed to the other shore,
Weary OF rejoicing and sorrowing,
Loving and hoping in vain,
Tired of endless striving
For that which | never shall gain.
Weary of thinking, thinking,
0 soul wilt thou never cease?
Worn out, and tired and weary,
Shalt thou never know peace
In heaven?
Ahl even that word
Seems a meaningless one tonight
For it seemeth my tear.dimmed eyes
Could not bear heavens glorious light;
That ia weary Of the endless singing,
And my iatering stammering tongue
Could not raise one "Hallelujah,"
Could not join the angels song;
And amid the bliss of heaven,
The bright angelic throng,
| should still be tired, weary,
And long to be alone.
Tired, so tired
All earth takes up the sad refrain,
Tired, so tired
Murmur the wind aud rain.
Oh for rest,
That heart and brain and will
Might cease their aching, thinking, working,
And be STILL
oblivion's sleep would be so sweet,
No more to know
Aught of life's yearnings, hopes, or fears,
Its joys or woe.
A dreamless sleep, though ages past
Still to sleep on, in perfect rest.
Eternal life, know It's great,
But OH tonight, it seems weight
My spirit cannot bear.
can not think of life without its STRIFE, il,
How can my soul live on, [cares
And yet its suffering gone?
Eternal life No, far more sweet
Is never.ending, dreamless sleep.
And yet, o coward soul
What dost thou say2
WOuld'st fling thy heritage,
Blood.bought, away?
Father, forgive; know Thy word is true.
do believe in heaven is perfect rest,
All sorrow cease;
Thy, weary children there find perfect peace
And yet, o God forgive,
| know, but can not feel;
Teach me to trust Thee more,
These wild thoughts still
Tired, so tired
Each thought comes with throb of pain.
But another morn will come,
! shall be strong again;
This weakness, weariness will pass away.
Gods word is sure, "Thy strength will be
Even as thy day"
Tomorrow strength will come to meet life
Bravely bear sorrows sting, [tol
And Immortality will seem
glorious Ihing.
But not tonight. My tear.dimmed eyes
Can not pierce life's deep mysteries,
Gods glorious purpose see
Yet do trust in Thee.
q God thy suffering earth. child keep;
Thou givest Thy beloved,
And am weary, 'sleep."

Ghe Grareler,
TRAVELLING In SICILY.

1t will be some time before Sicily will
be invaded to any extent by sightseeing
yandals, and its comparative immunity
from them adds to its attraction. Travel
ers Tor mere comfort are not likely to be
drawn thither, since railways and telegraphs
have been hardly begun, and the inns,
with few exceptions, furnish bad lodging
and worse fare. No one jburneying there
need fear gout, IT he be secure against
dyspepsia, and any stranger can sleep
soundly IN the interior towns, provided he
be so thoroughly fatigued as to be insensi-
bic to entomle assaults. The taverns out
side OF the cities make no pretense to good
accommodations IN the Anglo-Saxon sense,
and frequently, after the manner of the
Spanish ventas, supply nothing but eggs,
bread, and wlne, with the rudest and
most populous OF couchcs. Several rail.
ways are projected, but the only one in
running order short time ago was from
Palermo to point near Messina, to which
1t will soon be extended. Steamers ply
regularly between Naples and Palermo
and Messina, and between Marseilles and
the latter port, and sail occasionally from
the first two cities to Tapani, Girgenti,
and Catania Mail routes are established
between the chief towns, for which the
usual fare Is fiye bajocchi (nearly eight
cents mile, with the same amount for
the position at every relay. Going into
the interior often requires mule-back,
unless you prefer the tettiga-a species of
sedan, borne by two of the long-eared
quadrupeds TO the monotonous music Of
jingling bells This is dull, drowsy
mode OF getting along, which person of
health and energy will not care to adopt
more than once. The back of a strong
mule and the aid ola trusty muleteer afford
the most satisfactory means of journeying
in the mountainous districts. To these
stock OF provisions, tent, and bedding
may be added with advantage. They are
not indispensable, but they insure indie
pendence. Unless you be pachydcrmatous,
you must not forget to provide yourself
with pair Of sheets, sewed stoutly to-
gether on all sides but one, and drawn with
strings like bag. Into this you must
get at night to avoid the swarm of insects
which will otherwise dcvour you. This
kind Of preparation will seem little odd
Mt first, and may induce you to dream you
are sack Of meal But if you neglect il
you won't be able to dream at all, or even
lose consciousness, and, moreover, your
body will be certain to present the next
morning striking resemblance to South
Sea islanders
The natives never mind the vcrmin.
They are so entirely devoid of sensibility
that they would sleep, fancy, though the
vulture Of Prometheus made perpetual
breakfast of their liver. But if you be

DOG BITEs.-For the benefit of any
persons who may be so unfortunate as to
be bitten by mad dog, we copy the fol-
lowing advice from Prof. N. X. Smith,
published in the Baltimore ".Sm' of the
9th inst:
To THE PUBLIc.-Allusion having been
made to an article on hydrophobia, pub
lished by me a year and half ago, ]
deem it proper to repeat what / then
emphatically said, 'that a slight scratch
from the dogs tooth is much more danger
Gus than deeper wound because less
blood flows to wash away the poison, and
to render necessary more thorough washing
with soap and water. The part should be
instantly washed with soap and water, and
when dry should be thoroughly touched
with caustic potash by physician, if pos
sible. The milder caustics, such as lunar
caustic, &c, are worthless.
have witnessed many deaths since
that article was published from this disease,
in not one Of which was the caustic used
In all cases the patient said "the scratch
was so slight that they did not mind it,
the very reason that they should have
minded" it. In all these cases life would
have been saved had the means been
promptly employed.
Another error is, always killing the dog
that bites; he should be carefully shut UP.
If he remains well he has not the hydro
phObin. But apply the caustic at any rate
at once.

A ROMANTIC REGIoN.-A correspon.
dent of one of the leading papers extols
Ithaca, and the country surrounding 1t, as
well worth the attention of the tourist. II
is a region of glens and falls; Of beautiful
lakes and forests. All that part of New
York, in fact. is most remarkable. Start
ing from Watkins Glen, there is, within
radius of fifty miles or so, the most sin
gular succession of raviues, cascades and
landlocked waters. Allare varied and all
interesting, and the towns scattered at in
teryals and prosperous and, in many re-
spects, present, outside of the natural beau
ties around, striking objects Of interest.
With the exception Of the more prominent,
such as Watkins Glen, Ithaca Falls and
others, there are smaller, but scarcely less
attractive scenes to be found by the tour
ist Of leisure, 1t is a country to saunter
in, as the traveller does in the lake region
Of England, by Windermere and its historic
companions

Those fercely loyal persons who oppose
as nnpatriotic all attempts to wipe out the
bitter memories Of the Rebellion, and bring
about good feeling between the North and
South, will find food for meditation in
some remarks of Mr.. Peter Clark, col

address to a mass meeting of men of hi,
race he gave utterance TO these generous
sentiments Il am not vindictive in my

Literary Research.


AUTHORSHIP OF THE l.. NJ. AND c. NJ
DoxOLoGIEs IN COMMON UsE.-Rev
Isaac Watts, d. d., published an edition
OF his Hymns in three books, in the year
1907. This was the first edition of that
wonderfully popular book. Attached to
the Sd Book, and numbered as hymns 29
and 81 were the two doxologies, L. NJ. and
c. NJ, just as we now sing them
ITO God the Father, the Son. &c.
''Now let the Father and the Son. &c.
In the year 1874, Thomas Ken, a
Fellow Of Winchester College, Oxford,
published "a Manual of Prayers for the
use of the Scholars of Winchester College. ("
in which he says: "Be sure to sing the
Morning and Evening Hymn in your
chamber devoutly.' In 1897, having IL
years before been promoted to the See Of
Bath and Wells, he published another
edition of the Manual-''to which is added
Three Hymns, for Morning, Evening and
Midnight, not in the former editions. y
The hymns had probably been printed in
leaflets for the use of the students as early
as 1914, but were first published in book
form in 1897. The first hymn, beginning
with,
"Glory to thee, my Godi this night
contained IL stanzas the third, beginning
with,
"Lord now my sleep does me forsake,'
contained l3 stanzas and the final stanza
Of each hymn was,
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye angelick host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost"
In a subsequent edition, 1872, the third
line was altered to
''Praise him above, ye heavenly host;''
and the first line of the Evening Hymn is
changed to
"All praise to thee, my God this night
The Common Metre Doxology, found in
all the Hymnals of the present day, com.
mencing with,
ITO Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

How GnrENnAcK pAprR IS MADE

How GREENBAcR PAPER is MADE
All the paper for the money issued by
the Government, is manufactured on 81
inch Fourdrinier machine, at the Glen
Mills, near West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Short pieces of red silk are mixed with the
pulp in the engine, and the finished stuff
is conducted to the wire without passing
through any screens, which might retain
the silk threads. By an arrangement
above the wire cloth, sewer of fine blue
silk threads is dropped in streaks upon the
paper while it is forming The upper side,
on which the blue silk is dropped, is the
one used for the face of the notes, and
from the manner in which the threads are
applied, must show them more distinctly
than the lower or reversed side, although
they are embedded deeply enough to re-
main fixed. The mill is guarded by
officers night and day, to prevent the ab-
straction of any paper.

The gigantic stalks Of asparagus, the big
cuculnbers, and the creamy-white heads
Of caulifower, and the cool, crisp bunches
Of lettuce, probably owe their perfection
to the same protection, and are therefore
of no interest as specimens Of skill in out
of-door culture.

period, remember that such precautions
were taken by your nurse IN babyhood.

EXCELLENT WHITEwAsH-The fol
lowing is said to be the very best of the
numerous recipes for whithwashing =
White chalk is the best substitute for lime
as wash. A very fine and brilliant
white-wash preparation of chalk is called
the Paris white. This we buy at the paint
store for three cents pound, retail. For
each sixteen pounds of Paris white we
procure half pound of the white transpa-
rent glue, costing twenty-five cents fifty
a pound.) The sixteen pounds Of Paris
is about as much as person will use in
one day. 1t is prepared as follows The
glue is covered with cold water at night,
and in the morning is carefully heated
without scorching, until dissolved. The
Paris white is stirred with hot water to
give it the proper milky consistency for
applying to walls, and the dissolved glue
is then added and thoroughly mixed 1t
is then applied with brush like the com
mon lime white-wash, except on very dark
and smoky walls, single coat issuficient.
II is nearly equal in brilliancy to zinc
white, far more expensive article.

Canal Life.

Barge-life on the Dutch canals is curl
Gus study. When young couple marry,
and cannot afford house rent and other
expenses Of life ashore, they take to life
on the sewer wave. They buy, beg, bor-
row or rent barge, and pass their time
carrying slow merchandise up and down
the canals. Brown earthenware pots.
cucumbers, and melons, are fayorite sour
ces of income. The barge lies close to
the street, you can easily step in and out
and make your bargain. When a cucum-
Der falls into the canal the trader will stop
business, and spend twenty minutes or
more to spear ii in the filthy mud and fish
it up. This is Dutch thrift. | wonder
who buys these dropped cucumbers One
end of the barge is often tastefully fitted
up like lite house. Painted green and
white outside, the windows hung with clean
white blinds, trimmed sometimes with a
colored ribbon. Inside there are two or
three compartments, fire place, paper on
the walls, and carpet and there is many
a worse place for a honeymoon than the
inside Of a snug, clean and commodious
barge. On feast days the barges are
deserted, and every one goes ashore. 1t ie
curiout how fond all Dutch people seem to
be Of walking about the streets. We doubt
whether any one is ever run over in Am
sterdam; there is nothing but an omnibus
or two to run over them. High and low,
