The Love OF God.

Like n cradle rocking, rocking,
Silent, peaceful, to and fro
Like mothers sweet looks dropping
On the little face below
Hangs the green earth, swinging, turning,
Jarlcss, noiselcss, safe and slow;
Falls the light of Gods face bending
Down and watching us below.
And as feeble babes that suffer,
Toss and cry. and will not rest,
Are the ones the tender mother
Holds the closest, loves the best.
So when we are weak and wrctchcd,
by our sins weighed down, distressed,
Then it is that Gods great patience
Holds us closest, loves US best.
o, great Heart of God! whose loving
Cannot hindcred be nor crossed;
Will not weary, will not even
In our death itself be lost
Love divine! Of such great loving,
Only mothers know the cost
Cost of love, which all love passing,
Gave Son to save the lost.

MANY Democrats tried at first to derive
some comfort from the New Hampshire
election, but the effort proved a dismal
failure and was speedily abandoned. All

that in reality the result was severe blow

which co-operated with that party in the
late campaign, gives It up. "The recent
election in New Hampshire" says The

shell whose kernel was long ago shrivelled

of past victories in its favor. 1t had

Sooner or later the discussion will reach our

as overstraining the tender mind of child

faulty in this regard. Many an ambitious
scholar who is weaker than his or her
companions, has been permanently injured
by over-stu1y, out Of determination not
to be distanced by others, and not to be
put back into an inferior class. A modili-

In Iowa we are told that corn is used
for fuel. A pamphlet before US devoted to
the resources of that state, also informs
us that although corn is always abundant
at a low price, still many farmers buy
canned corn at fifteen cents pound, and
starch, product us ed in every house, is
obtained from the East at seven to-, nine
cents pound in exchange for corn at
eighteen cents a bushel. These facts should
set the Iowians to thinking. And they
have force for every state in the Union.

raw material is produced and is the cheap
