GUESTS OF THE HEART.


Soft falls through the gathering twilight
The rain from the dripping caves,
: And stirs with tremulous rustic
The dead and the dying leaves;
While afar, in the midst of the shadows,
1 hear the sweet voices of bells,
Come borne on the winds of the Autumn,
That fitfully rises and swells.
They call and they answer each other
They answer and mingle again
AS the deep and the shrih in an anthem
Make harmony still in their strain;
AS the voices of sentinels mingle
In mountainous regions of snow,
Till from hilltop to hilltop chorus
Floats down to the valleys below.
The shadows, the fire-light of even,
The sound of the rains distant chime,
Come bringing, with rain softly dropping,
Sweet thoughts of a shadowy time;
The slumberous sense of seclusion,
From storm and intruders aloof,
We feel when we hear in the midnight
The patter of rain on the roof.
When the spirit goes forth in its yearnings
To take all its wanderers home;
Or, afar in the regions of fancy,
Delights on swift pinions to roam,
quietly sit by the fire-light-
The fire-light so bright and so warm
For know that those only who love me
Will seek me through shadow and storm.
But should they be absent this evening,
Should even the household depart
Deserted, I should not be lonely;
There still would be guests in my heart.
The faces of friends that cherish,
The smile, and the glance, and the tone,
Will haunt me whereverI wander,
And thus am never alone.
With those who have left far behind them
The joys and the sorrows of time
Who sing the sweet songs of the angels
In purer and holier cline!
Then darkly, o evening of Autumn,
Your rain and your shadows may fall;
My loved and my lost ones you bring me
My heart holds feast with them all.

DEEDS ARE EVIL.

lOrlglnnl.J
DEEDS ARE EVIL.
The main reason why men generally do
not embrace the gospel, is because their deeds
are evil. If the gospel only demanded an as,
sent to doctrines, men would not he so ready
to reject it. Ifit granted them full liberty to
engage in worldly pleasure and worldly sins,
few, if any, would raise serious objections to
it. But since it enjoins holy life, men find
fault with it. They dislike the gospel because
the gospel has for its object the destruction OF
sin. 1t will be found that bad men, the world
over, are opposed to the gospel. Of the vast
multitude who reject the gospel, not one of
them has, in practice, anything that resembles
true piety. 1t is piety that they all so much
dislike. They love to be free and untram-
meled to sin. The gospel forbids this, and
this is the main reason why they will not
come to Jesus. The unregenerated heart
loves sinful pleasures. If the gospel did not
forbid ndulging in sinful lusts and sinful
pleasures, its doctrines would not be repul-
sive. 1t is not its doctrines that are so objec'
tionable to men-iti is the holy life which it en-
joins, that makes it repulsive to the heart that
is welded to sin and worldly pleasures.

HOGS.

Within the last fifty or sixty years, great
change has taken place in the upper counties
of South Carolina. At that time every one
raised his own bacon; now very few do it.
This is change, but not for the better. The
reasons assigned for the change, is the cost OF
raising hogs, and the danger of having them
stolen after they are raised. We are at loss
to understand how the cost of raising hogs
now can be greater than it was fifty years
ago. We do not believe it is any greater.
The liability for hogs to be stolen has in
creased, we admit, ten fold. From the close
of the Revolutionary war up to about the year
1880, very little, if any, meat was bought by
the inhabitants of the upper counties of South
Carolina. This was the most prosperous
period in the history of the State. During
that period, the most Of the property that is
now in the possession of citizens was acquired.
Since that time, the cotton mania has pre-
vailed, and there has been much noise, but
little progress.
It is all nonsense to say that hogs cannot
be raised cheaper than they can be bought.
AS general rule, anything that can be raised
at all, costs less to raise it, than to buy it.
As things now are, hogs must be raised diff
ferently from what they were by our fathers.
They raised them in the woods. We cannot
do this on account of thieves. But our faith
ers lost vast amount of hogs in one way and
another. The pigs were killed by wild ami
mails, and many of the hogs went wild, and
never we're caught by their owners. Pasture
can be sown for hogs by us, and thus they
will be comparatively safe from thieves. A
few hogs is all that an ordinary sized family
need. The of1al about house, with little
corn, occasionally, will keep fat a couple of
hogs the year round. Without the hogs, this
offal would be wasted. The hog may be
made scavenger, to pick up matter that
would be injurious to health.
There are many reasons why every farmer
should attempt to raise his own meat. 1t is
cheaper, because it is not all paid for at once.
1t is better. No one will think of comparing
good home raised, and home cured bacon
with the bulk meat that is brought to our
southern market. This is not all. There is
peculiar pleasure afforded to man of agri.
cultural taste, in seeing all his supplies for
his family growing up under his eyes. He
can form correct estimate of his pecuniary
progress. He can make safe calculation
with respect to his annual income. He is not
harrassed about the rise in the price of bacon
nor the fall in the price of cotton. He feels
that he has his meat on his own farm.

TOMORROW.


The resolves of vast multitude of the hu-
man family are very good, if they we're only
put into execution. Perhaps all men, in
Christian lands, expect to come to Jesus some
time before they die For various reasons
they put it off until tomorrow. The young
are anxious to revel to-day in pleasure, and
tomorrow they say they will sober down and
come to Jesus. The man whose soul is
absorbed in accumulatiug wealth, says to
himself, "Today I will struggle and toll and
gain so much, and tomorrow will sit down
and devoutly serve God" The ambitious
man says, "To-day will enjoy the adulations
and praises of the multitude; tomorrow 1 will
retire and quietly worship my God. Unfor-
tunately for many, the tomorrow of their re-
solves never comes. They spend their to-day
in sinful pleasures, and their tomorrow is
spent in world of woe. God requires some
thing more than empty resolves. He never
says tomorrow come to me. 1t is always to.
day. Time waits on no Que. The man who
resolves in spring to plant, but does not do it.,
finds in autumn that he has nothing but
empty barns.
1t is vain for any one to suppose that God
can be put off with empty promises and idle
resolves. The individual that would 60 to
heaven, must 60 to work. He must do some
thing. He must do everything that God
commands him to do, and do nothing that
God forbids him to do. He must purpose
in his heart to serve God, and serve him dill
gently in his daily walk and conversation.
Good intentions are we'll enough, but if they
90 no farther than intentions, they will starve

THE LITTLE BIRD.

A little bird with feathers brown
Sat singing on a tree;
The song was very soft and low,
But sweet as it could be.
And all the people passing by
Looked up to see the bird
That made the sweetest melody
That ever they had heard.
But all the bright eyes looked in vain,
For birdie was SO small,
And with modest dark brown coat,
He made no show at all.
"Why, papa!' little Oracle said,
"Where can the birdie be?
If could sing song like that,
I'd sit where folks could see"
''I hope my little girl will learn
A lesson from the bird,
And try to do what good she can,
Not to be seen or heard.
This birdie is content to sit
Unnoticed by the way,
And sweetly sing his Makers praise
From dawn till close Of day.
$50 live, my child, all through your life,
That, be it short or long.
Though others may forget your looks,
They'll not forget your song"
