To those who are expressing by letter and
by word desire that we of the religious
press should 'rebuke'' the wicked dailies, we
would state that we are not quite clear as 10
the amount of difference between a wicked
daily and religious weekly. That the latter
Is in the raain more religious we admit, and
at least seven times less reckless, because it
comes only once in seven days; but the case
Is difficult one, and the religious weekly
does not, upon the whole, seem to be in such
a condition as to warrant it in hiagIng az
least very large stone at those organs of the
world, the flesh and the devil. 1t is very
bad that the dailies are so unjust as to assail
character and ruin reputation, but we find in
the church journals such free use OF the
words 'infidel." ''hypocrite,' trimmer"
and fool" that we fear to open up against
the liberty the press takes with character,
lest we might hurt the feelings of some of
the Christian editors observation-disclosures

Politics in Kentucky are likely to warm up
soon. The Republicans are in good spirits
over their ticket, feeling it to be good one
while the Democrats are. obliged to admit

is considered doubtful whether his competit-

Wilt it leave me happy never,
This weary, weary gnawing oi the ola

Will the sweet, yet bitter yearnins,
That at my heart is burning,
Throb on and on forever, ana forever
be in vain:
O weary, weary longing!
o sad, sweet memories thronEing
From the sun-set-lighted woodlands oil
the dear and holy past!
Oh hope and faith undying,
Shall j ever cease from signing?
Must my lot amoug the shadows for

Shall l never see the glory
That the Christ-knightO of old story
Sir Galahad, ny hero, saw folded round

The full, completed beauty
With which Ged giIds dull duty
For hearts that burn toward heaven

From the conflict ceasing never,
From the toll increasing evel?

Will the sky grow never clearer?

Where the golden city glitters in its

All me, that golden city!
Can God then have no yity?
have sought it with such yearning for

And yet the hills blue glimmer,
And the portals golden simmer,
Fade ever with the evening and the
distance never nears!

o enemies that meet me in the earth
and in the air?

Will my hope be never surer?
Will the wist @reaths and the cliff gates
