ighteomness p-PAuL H
In the times far back and olden
Came an evening soft and golden,
When tired hend sought its pillow, and
II tired heart longed for rest,
When the warrior heard no rattle
OF the foemen fierce in battle,
For repose TINT follows victory had settled
on his breast.
Oh, this evening brought such gladness
That the former care and sadness.
The long passage through rough waters
that his shrinking eyes had seen,
The full cup of bitter sorrows,
All the fear of dark to-morrows,
And the anguish of the spirit, were rs If
they had not been.
For he knew that far behind him
Were the chains that used 10 bind him,
And the woes that made him feeb in the
long unequal fight
And a comrAde was beside him,
Strong and tende-, who would guide him
Through the shadows of the evening to the
land of perfect light.
Now his face to heaven was turning
And his glad eyes were discerning
The fair city in the distance, where the
conqueror should be crowned,
And he thought how friends departed.
Strong, and faithful, and true-hearted,
Would be near with loving WELDON D.
words to make his joys abound.
But the best OF all the pleasure,
The one rapture without measure,
Would be given TO the disciple, when he
saw the Masters face;
And for this his heart was longing.
A, he saw the angels thronging
Round the gate, Of pearl, wide open. of his
Fathers fair home-pacc.

And in the gladnr-s undiuiuishcd
And ite-cour-e fully finished.

or the servants life and glory.

The sure hope that we shall meet him at

THE FATHER OF THE HOUSE.

This is the title gwen to the member
who he's served the greatest number
OF consecutive terms. Upon the open
iIg day OF Congress seats for different
members are drawn by lot. The
father Of the House is, however. first
alio sed to select his own seat. He is
also the man who administers the oath
to the newly elected Spa,ker. Sena-
tor Dawes was the farmer last year.
Judge Kelley is this. Fernando Wood
has served more terms tn n any mam-
Der in the House, tut they have not
all been consecutive terms; hence Kel-
ley's preference for the venerated po-
sitiou Of father to cong Generated
body of rasc ia. wooden Ieads aud
good men. Arrange the proportion
to suit yourself.
