crock OF AGES. ("

"Rock ofages cleft for me-"
Thonghtlessly the maiden sung,
Fell the words unc0nsciousiy
From the giriish, gleefuitongue;
Sang as little children sing;
sang as sing the birds in June;
Fell The words like light leaves down
On the current of the tune
"Rock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myselfln Thee"
"Let me hide myself IN Thee"
Felt her soul noneed 10 hide
Sweet the song as song could be,
And she had no thought beside;
All the words unheedingly
Fell from lips Untouched by care,
Dreaming not that they might be
On some other lips prayer
Brock of ages cleft for me,
Let me hide myselfin Thee:"
"Rock of ages, cleft for me;"
Twas woman sung them now,
Plesdingly and prayerfully;
Every word her heart did know,
Rose the song as storm tossed bird
Beats with weary wing the air,
Every note with sorrow stirred,
Every syllable prayer
Crock of ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock of ages, cleft for men-
Lips grown aged sang the hymn
Trustingly and tenderly,
Voice grown weak and eyes grown dim
LET me hide myself in Thee
Trembling through the voice and low,
Rose the sV eet strain peacefully
Like a river in its flow;
Sang as only they can sing
Who behold the promised rest
"Rock OF ages, cleft for me-.
Let me hide myself in Thee"
"Rock Of ages, cleft for me-"
Sung above a coffin lid
Underneath all restfully,
All LIES joys and sorrows hid.
Nevermore, D storm-tossed souli
Nevermore from wind or tide,
Nevermore from pillows roll
Wilt thou need thyself 60 hide,
Could the sightless Sunken, eyes
Close beneath the soft gray hair,
Could the mute and stiffened lips
Move again in pleading prayer,
Stiil. aye still, the words would be
Let me hide myself in Thee"

A WRONG CUSTOM CORRECTED.

Its quite generally the custom to
take strong liver stimulants for the
cure of liver complaint, and both the
mineral and vegetable kingdoms have
been diligently searched to procure the
most drastic and poisonous purgatives,
in order to produce powerful effect
upon the liver, and arouse the tagging
and enfeebled organ This system of
treatment is on the same principle as
that of giving weak and debilitated
man large portions of brandy to enable
him to do a certain amount of work.
When the stimulant is withheld, the
organ, like the system, gradually re-
lapses into a more torpid or sluggish
and weakened condition than before.
What then is wanted? Medicines,
which, while they cause the bile to
flow freely from the liver, as that or
gan is toned into action, will not over
work and thus debilitate it, but will,
when their use is discontinued, leave
the liver strengthened and healthy.
Such remedies are found in DIR.

and Purgatiye Pellets.

THE PHILADELPHIA OYSTER TRADE.

Oysters, says the Philadelphia Times, are found in
both salt and fresh water but the former superior
in size and flavor, and generally grow in shadows
where there are breakers The principal breeding
time Of the common oyster is in April or May
when the spawn, which at first appears like
little spot Of grease fastens upon rocks stones
Very commonly it adheres to adult shells, and
thus are formed oyster banks. 1t takes
about eighteen months for an oyster TO obtain

oyster possesses" says a writer ''are wonderful

force to throw themselves backward in a lateral

the use of oystermen. About dozen trim soops were

were lying countless dredges, and their crews

ANOTHER LONDON FAILURE AND IT'S EFFEcT-
STORIES OF STEAMSHIP RIvALRY-A WONDER
Full FEAT OF sUB-ocEAH TELEGRAPHY.
Yesterday the stock market somewhat affected by
rumors of failures in London and report Of the start
ing OF rival steamship line in opposition to the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company. The bears were not slow in
avaing themselves OF the opportunity and the conse-
quence was decline in various shares the fluctuations
OF which will be recorded in the proper column The
London failure of Kllingham Campbell is believed
not to entail disaster any American houses the
necton on this side having been severed about five
months since. AS for
THE STEAMER STORY
1t is founded on the rumor that new line of British
built, compound engine steamers will shortly
begin running between Boston and New York and the
west coast Of South America by way Of the Straits Of
Magellan. The Pacific Steam Navigation Company, of
Liverpool, has for years q line from Liverpool TO
Valparaiso and Calao through the Straits of Magellan
This new line, owned entirely in New England, may
prove great benefit TO New England manufacturing
interests as II will enable them 10 compete for South
American trade on equal terms with English manufac-
turers
The rumor mongers forgot to add however that the
Pacific Steam Navigation Company largely subsidized
by the English government and without such aid
would be running at heavy loss to-day Another story
set aoa by interested parties was To the effect that the
Pacific Mail Company had
the City Of Peking and City OF Toxic to
the Japanese government for $3.50 600 and it was
argued with pausibilty, that If such was the
case the company on the verge Of bankruptcy to
part with the best part of its property for

largo precious stones II accompanied by an ad
dress expressing the good wishes esteem and
Of the donors HIS Eminence, In his reply, thanked
the deputation, saying that he would consider the
present as a token Of Americas gratitude, and he
added that the Pope, in raising him TO the dignity
OF Cardinal, did not only wish to honor him, but
desired TO show how much he appreciated the
Roman Catholics in America This elevation TO the
Cardnalate showed the strength Of the bonds which
united the Church in America to the Holy See These
sentimentG the Prehte continued caused him to feel
the necessity of superior operation in the abors OF
the Church. and being unable to rely upon himself FOR
the purpose Of attaining that good result he relied upon
Gods mercy and called upon his hearers to unite them
selves with him in obtaining that object In conclusion
he again reverted TO the generous donors and repeating
his thanks he expressed deep gratitude.
