Evening Thought.

When the shades Of night arc falling.
Aud the sun 10 sinking low
Down behind the Western hill tops,
With glorious, golden glow;
Der the earth, = silence falleth,
And the voices Of the air,
Whisper to the tired spirit,
Rest thou now from toll and care.
Many are the hearts grown weary,
With the sorrows Of this lite,
That feel rest aud peace steal DER them
With the shadows Of the night.
Down upon each earth-bound spirit,
Falls holy. calm repose.
Gently % the dew drop falleth
Down upon the dying rose.
Burdens that had seemed too heavy,
For the aching arms to bear,
Seem each moment to be lighter
Smaller grows each earthly care.
There are moments that are given
Poor, tired pilgrims here below
Short, sweet glin,pses of that heaven
Where we all shall sometime 90.
Al these tunes there comes . longing
Into every troubled heart,
For that land 30 near yet distant,
Where no loved ones have to part.
Listen, and a. music stealeth
Ger the senses, soft but closr,
Words Of hope, and faith and comfort
Shall your weary spirits hear.
Ger the earth then falls the radiance
OF the glorious setting sun,
Telling that the day is fading,
That its course is nearly run:
As the last faint tinge Of crimson
Fades out Of the western skies.
And ss quiet-ss though slseping-
Everything in nature lies,
We do bow our heads in reverence,
Stretching up our hands to Thee,
Knowing Thou art ever near us
Though thy iace we cannot see.
Painting hearts are filed with courage.
Willing now to watch and wait,
Till they hear tho welcome summons
Eater thou tho Golden Gate.

TO BE CONTfNUED)

RINDGE, N. H. IN 1775. The
adult male population of this little
town, in 1875, was 14S. 1t had its
organized company of minute-men.
Nathan Hale, who was a merchant,
occupying the low. long wooden
building for many years afterwards
used as a store by Wilder and
Sherwin, was its captain. At mid,
night, on the 10th of April, 1915, a
courier arrived on horseback at
Capt. Hale's door, and informed
him that he and his men were wan
ted forthwith at head quarters. BY
six O'clock, the next morning, 81
minute men were armed and
equipped on Rindge common, ready
to march to the field of strife. This
was over One.third of the whole
adult male population. The pay,
roll of this company was entered OH
the town records, the amount each
one had received from the town in
payment OF his services being set
down opposite to his name. When
we think that this was the spirit
that pervaded all the towns of New
England, we can form some cOncep.
ton of the moral power that moved
the men of 1916. The uprising Of
that period was a grand spectacle,
and the people of to-day need to be
often reminded of it. 1t furnishes
one of the most wholesome lessons
in all our history. a.4 .IJ

Wild Life on the Coast.

1t was a March morning-dark,
yet without q drop of rain or breath
Of wind-that kind of marbly. black,
compact sky, which is the sure fore
runner of storm. The night had
been a raw, and cold one-too cold
to sleep with comfort in the open
air; yet such was the chamber
which peasant girl, native of a
little fishing hamlet upon the coast
of Cornwall, had chosen for repose.
Her couch was q hard and fearful
one the verge of a cliff that rose
nearly a hundred feet perpendicular
from the seashore, and yet not the
softest couch that ever was spread
in hamlet, town or city, contained a
tenant, in form, for symmetry-in
feature, for beauty-the mistress of
her who occupied that strange, ap-
palling place of rest Her sIumbers
were disturbed, yet deep! Neither
the full dawn could break them, nor
the tears that fell upon her face from
the eyes of one who was hanging
over her-a young man about her
own age, or little older, and who
seemed to belong to the profession
Of the sea. "
"And hast thou slept out again
all night!' he murmured-his tears
still flowing. "And does it grow
worse and worse with thy poor
wits and shall l never see the day
when | can make thee my wife !
They will not let me marry thee be-
cause, as they say, thou art mad,
and knowest not what thou dost;
but when thy mind was sound /
was loved by thee. Had 1 married
thee then, thou still hadst been
cherished and loved. Why must
not marry thee nowi 1 could
watch thee then, at night. My
arms would enfold thee, then, and
prevent thee from stealing from thy
bed to sleep in such a place as
this!'
The attachment which united
this young man to the being whom
he SO earnestly apostrophized, was
Of that pure and steadtast nature !
which eau never take root except in |
The unsorhistioated heart. She
aud lost her reason in consequence
# having been . witness to a tran
action in blood, which made her |
IN orphan. She was to have been
married. to him but, in the unfor-
;unate state of her intellects, no
clergyman would celebrate the
ties. But she did not the less en-.
0y his protection. Beneath his
nother's roof she lived as sacred as
slster-the object of . passion in
which Illustration, and almost hope.
had only produced in.
'rease OF strength.
"Jsne Jane he called.
Rouse thee, Jane--rouse thee !!
Don't be frightened. It is only
GEORGE. Get up. and come home"
He offered to raise her, but she
hecked him-lOOked round and
xed her eyes iuquiringly upon the

the commencement Of which was
sheltered by screen of rock, she
was quickly out of sight.
The wrecker now began to recon.

tion, securing such portions of tho

wiped from his brow the drops that

"Ha ha you have done it !"
The wrecker turned and beheld
the maniac standing behind him
with the hatchct in her hand, her
eyes flashing.

Proceeded 10 choossa Speaker, the re-
ppblicans present actually taking part
III the proceeding- by nonfinafing n
candidate for Speaker and voting for
him, BY accepting appointments as
part OF Committee on Credentials
and organizing with this committee
and by their votes in the House on the
Speakership giving a quorum, which
the democrats then present would not
alone have had. Wiltz received fifty
five votes, Hahn (republican), two, and
one was blank; and flfty-six is the con-
stitutional quorum. When the men,
bers were sworn in fifty-one democrats
and five republicans took the oath,
making an indisputable and regular
quorum of the House
1nird-The Legislature was there
after dispersed by United states
troops.
F5urh-The republicans proceeded
to organize, but here is the important
and vital point-they had and have no
q Legislature. They may adjourn from
day to day; but, under the Louisiana
constitution, can do none of the acts
of Legislature.
Fyh-Hence Louisiana has to-day
no regularly organized and competent
lower House of Legislature. 1t cannot
have a quorum, even on the report of
the Returning board.
Sifh-Hence the pretended election
OF Pinchback is fraud and void.
