DIR. Jacoby. a Relic of Interest.
By LANDON TAYLOR.

Our old men are passing AWAY After
long Lille of labor and usefulness. includ-
ing this and his own country, the old vet
eran has found resting place and reward

death was led to reflect upon an incident

In heokuk county, on Dutch creek. a
camp-meeting WAS to be held in the month
OF August, by the German Methodists. over

It good number of my own congregation
present, was invited to the MEETING and
10 take part IN the exercises. The services
progressed with interest until Sunday
afternoon, when it was known that efforts
would be made by the "roughs'' in the
vicinity to break up the meeting of the
evening For weeks not a drop of rain

ABOVE the horizon indic1iing an approach

way must be devised to meet the elnerpen-
cy, and that within a few hours. for the
tokens OF war had become already visible.
HOW many Methodist ministers know
something OF the suspense between a rood
meeting and the Devils parade on Sunday
night. This was his experience ana his
dread, but he concluded that the power
That brought the cloud out of the sea and
Watered the land of Samaria was sufficient
to secure victory to him in this season of
trial. And thus he resorted to PRAYER |
earnestly beseeehing God that He would .

enemies might be defeated and his small
church enjoy the benefit Not Il sion in

THE PEBBLE on THE SHORE.

re Sf1oREs
A wanderer upon the strand
or the wide sea, before him cleaning,
Held in his open, curious hand
A pebble, subject for his dreaming,
Picked from the white encircling sand,
Polished as if by science seeming.
lie gazed upon its perfect form,
AS true as though by care invested,
Wrought by the force of many storm,
That with the shore e-ewhile contested,
And left, when ceasel the conflict warm,
In humble beauty where it rested.
"'Tis bu' a little stone" he said,
"ScaIce worth serious Inspection"
But through his mind the pebble sped,
And walked train of deep reflection,
Like uayi,T's in Goliah's head,
That brought the giant to subsection.
Here is truth. though simply told;
If this small pebble, id lying,
Hal never by the waves been rolled,
Its beauties none would now be spying;
But N befouliDg sand or mould
Its worth 10 darkness would be dying.
But, dashel by the resistless sea,
1t gained its symmetry by action;
One round of motion constantly,
Male it a thing of satisfaction;
THIS moral lesson teaching me,
That nee. viii lose its strong attraction;
q Man but pebble on Times shore,
His soul were dead from inaction;
Though battl ng waves may chafe it sore,
And make its lot a vexed condition,
II by the trial shines the more,
Needing the polish of attrition.
An all the beauty that it knows,
Drawn forth by toll in mercy given,
Upon the shoal it, brightness shows,
-Brightin degree that it has striven;-
At last in Gods own hand CLOVIS,
A jewel fit to set in heaven"
