Good Reading.

The Christian Union is now publishing
Edward Eggleston's new story (Which he
himself considers to be the best) 'The Cir
cult Rider A Tale OF the Heroic Age
Mr.. Eggleston is one OF our freshest and
most viv acious story writers, and his
sketches OF Western life and character are
superior to anything we have. The Union
shows as much tact and enterprise as any
daily journal in the country. 1t has corps
of the best contributors of all shades Of re-
cognized Christian opinion, and gets the
best thought out of all of them. 1t shows
more plainly than any other religious fami-
ly paper in tie United States, the evidence
of careful. thorough editorial work. Its
columns, always full Of interesting matter
contain q greater variety tn Az those of any
very readable paper for years, and has steadi-
" improved on its own excellence. 1t ad-
vocates unity in q spirit of Cancellation
rather than Of dogmatsm, and seeks to
draw by fairness when it could not drive by
pugnacity. In this respect it is . model
Christian paper, and its temper and spirit
are beautiful illustration of the ripened
character and mellowed experience Of its edi
.o:. Its pages give ample evidence that
Mr. Beechers heart and hand are thorough
ly enlisted IN the great work the Christian
Union is destined to fulfill.
The chromos "The Dinner" and ''The
Nap" which Messrs. Ford & Co. are now
presenting to all subscribers to the "Chr;s-
Paris-printed oleographs even SUP erior
in conception and execu ton, to the famous
pair "Wide Awake" and "Fast Asleep
whose issue, by the same firm, caused so
great an excitement two years ago. The
subjects of the new pi ctures are boys-real
boys-and the accessories are very natural,
suggestive and amusing. They are really
artistic pictures, aud quite as pleasing to a
refined taste as they are to the popular eye
and tie hearts Of the children.
ssThe Lord is Risen is the title or an ex-
quisite telegraph presented by the same firm
to subscribers to "Piymouth Pulpit" which
is a weekly pamphlet con tanning each week
a::sermon by the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
and is eagerly read alike by the admirers
and opponents of that distinguished divine.
The subject is Gross, old and moss grown,
and wreathed with violets and lilies of the
valley. We have rarely seen the central
sentiment of the New Testament so beau
tifuly expressed by picture as in this ten
der but striking sketch. Its value may be
guessed from the fact that in the picture
stores it frequently Sc lis for $500.
Mr. F. H. Ingalls, is the agent for this
city and vicinity and will call and show
the paper and pictures. We advise every
body who is going to spend 50 in any way
to wait till they see how much is here Of
fered them for the money.

The great strike among railroad
hands is about at an end. On nearly
all the roads trains have resumed run,
ming aad railroad officials believe the
worst is over. In majority of cases
the places of the strikers have been
filed by new hands, who have been
found willing to 60 to work at the re-
duced rate of wages. In several To-
ealities the strikers hold out to man
and assert that they will not 60 to
unrk at the low scale of prices. This
strike is but another evidence that 10
= majority of cases strikes do not pay.
The strikers lose by being out of EN-
ployment and on the other hand the
railroad companies suffer vastly more
than the amount involved, by stoppage
to business and travel 1t does seem
that when change is desired by eth
employers or employees some satisfac-
tory settlement could be arranged by
both parties coming together.

MONEY IN LANCASTER CouNTY.-Notwith.
standing the cry of hard times, scarcity OF mon.
ey and the effects Of financial panic, it seem.
that in Lancaster county money is unusually
plenty. Up to the first week in April, includ
ing the three months preceding, the amount ci
money offered to be loaned ON real estate, was
far beyond all preceding years, even more than
could be found customers for. In 1877 there
and In 1873 about l,450; whilst in 1874, to the
date above named, there We're near l 800 judge
ments confessed principally for loaus. An In
crease Of 100 in one year over the other Is, usu-
ally, considered a very large excess, but this
year 1t is nearly double that number. From
what cause this desire TO invest more largely in
real estate is attributed Is not positively plain,
but the panic of the past probably shook our

Her majesty rises at seven, takes breakfast at

out In her carriage. During meals a piper
plays in fropt Of the window. She has dinner

WESTERN MovEMENT.-The last census
report reveals the fact that since 1850 the we
ward movement has chiefly centered in tie
States of Minnesota, Iowa and Mossouri, and
that these great Western Commonwealth are
repeating the history OF Michigan, Wisconsin
and Illinois; which States, as well as Ohio and
Indiana, have ceased to be an attractive resort
for foreign aud domestic emigration. This also
goes to show that the agricultural and graz ing
regions are more attractive than the mining re-
gions Of the interior of the continent. Kansas
and Nebraska, too, offer special inducements
as favored points for those engaged in the graz.
lug interests. The inference from these facts
is that the Increase of population Ia the terrific
ries must in the future be slow. However, if
we apply TO the new regions west OF Missouri
and Iowa the ratio of increase of population and
material progress achieved in Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois during the past hundred years, there
must accumulate in the ensuing century pop.
ulation of at least ten millions; and If we apply
the ratio of increase in Iowa, Missouri and
Kansas, the population will reach at lest twen-
ty-hye millions, embracing thousands of miles
Of railway and telegraph, diversity of Indus
tries and homogeneous unity of languages
suggestive Of the destiny of the American peo-
Pile, which is TO subdue the continent.

BEAUTIFUL CHILD.

Beautiful child, with thy waxen fate,
Still and pure IN its infant grace,
What do thy closed eyes now behold
In the wondrous city Of pearl aud gold?
Do they look on the palm trees waving fred
And the river that 1oweth' noiselessly ?
Have they caught light from the eyes tai
But now, In heaven, my beautiful child?
Beautiful child, have dreamed fer thee
WHAT thy future, that hovereth near, shouldbe;
have placed thee OIL heights that were lGh
and grand,
By all Faine's summery brsezes famed,
Where the worshipping nations that kIelt
around
Should grace thy brows with their fairest Groin.
But the angels knew my dreams were wild
For God hath crowned thee thy beautiful cIld'
Beautiful child, how my hopes for tLee
Rose on eagle wings, bright and free,
iii II saw thee, my pet, with prophet eyes
That pierced the veil of the vaulled skies, 3
And heard thy voice, with It's under chiIneI
Sing the mystic songs ofa future time
But God hath taken thee, undeiied-
Thou art singing in Heaven, my beautiful
child.
Beautiful child, how my love for thee
Encircled thy young life full and free,
Ihy vanished past, with its bright, brief yeas,
Sunbright with smiles that were gemmed W b.
tears; !
Thy beautiful Present, the great To Be,
When thy bark should sail o'er the boundless
Lo the anchor Is dropped while the waves are
mild,
For thy God hath loved thee, my beautiful
child.
Beautiful child, have questioned thee
What thy mystic future should be;
Whether thy feet on the heights should climb.
Or walk mid the valleys dust and CRIME;
Or If thou shouldst quatf the drauyht divine,
Or ihy lips grow pale with the lees Of the Wine,
Aud sit here alone, and reconced,
For God hath answered my beautiful child.
