RESIGNATION.

What, though the chambers of my ear,
Unlocked by voice of praise or PRAYER,
Refuse to vibrate free and clear,
The wavelets Of the tingling air;
subtlsr touch, harmony
Unknown to others, fingers there,
In accents sweet it comes to me
Oh! Christ, hear Thee eperywhere'
What, though the crystals, set to light
The curtained windows of my soul,
Be limned with unextinguished Nights
Black pigment like an inky scroll,
That not ray of Heav'n's sweet light
Can penetrate its destined goal
If it bat quicken that dim sight,
Which Faith gives to the humblest soul.
What, though my mute and silent tongue
Be hushed, and broken from my will,
And every vocal chord unstrung,
Tensionless, paralyzed and still:
There is q language voiced and sung,
Strange and unknown to human skill,
Breathed from the soul, and heard among
The choirs, the courts of heaven fill.
Though hearing, sight and speech be gone,
And solitudes Of mystery
Ny every path Of life along
Envelope, shroud and compass me,
Yet, am not alone, a strong
Invisible divinity
With cheering hope and sweetest song
My soul, is leading up to Thee.
Oh Christ, thou more than all beside,
OF earth, or life, or heaven to me,
Still let me, by thy sacred side,
Wrapt in transcendent esstacy,
Kneel like new-made, trusting bride,
Trembling 'twixt JOY and hope to be
Close to her lord, her true and tried,
Happy to find my all in Thee.
What though affection be my lot
Though pain and penury assail,
And, unremembered and forgot,
! walk alone the lowliest vale
Yea-more, let enemies appear,
Let luke-warm friends prove false, and flee,
My soul, be rue,-Thou, Christ art here,
And then shall be most like Thee.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. June Z. 1901


Business in financial circles for the
past week has ruled quiet and steady,
with little doing aside from the regular
routine of local business. This morning
the market was exceedingly quiet and
devoid of interest. The banks report
collections easy, with good deposits and
the supply of currency equal to the de-
mands. The discount market is steady
and unchanged; 6rst-class paper rules at
lO@l2 y cent, on the streets money is
in demand at 2@3 . cent. y month for
short loans. Brokers are paying ll53@
ll53 for gold, with little offering. Ex-
change is easier and steady at the
following rates: On New York and
Eastern points buying at par and selling
at fcpremium; New Orleans, ic discount
buying and selling at par. Scrips and
bonds continue dull and nominal, with
little movement in the market and no
transacfions worthy of note.
