For the Last Time,

There is touch of pathos about doing
even the simplest thing "for tho last
time" 1t is not alone kissing the dead
that gives you this strange pain. You feel
1t when you have looked your last time
upon some scene you have loved-when
you stand in some quiet city street where
you know that you will never stand again.

lessly, and who after this once will never
stand before the sea Of upturned faces dis.
putting the plaudits with freshcr voices
and tairer forms, the minister who has
preached his last sermon-these all know
the hidden bitterness of the two words
never again" We put away our boyish
toys with an odd headache. We were foo
old to walk any longer on our stiIts-too
tall to play marbles on the sidewalk. Yet
there was pang when wo thought we had
played with our merry things for the last
time, and lite's serious, grown-up work was
waiting for us. Now we do not want the
lost toys back. Life has larger and otbc,
playthings for us. May it not be that
these two, shall seem in the light of some
Tar oil day as the boyish games seem TO
our manhood, and we shall learn that
death is but the opening of the gate into
the land of promise ?-Bishop Foster.

POetTY.
HIS MESSENGER.

Marjorie with the waiting face,
Marjorie, with the pale-brown hair,
She sits and scws in the silent place,
She counts the steps on the outer stair.
Two, three, four-they pass her door,
The patient face droops low again,
still il is as it was before
Oh! will he come indeed no more,
And are her prayers all prayed in vain?
Through the warm and the Winter night,
Marjorie with the wistful eyes.
She keeps her lonely lamp alight
Until the stars are dim in the skies
Through the gray and the shining day
Her pallid fingers swift and slim,
Set their stitches, nor one astray,
Though her heart it is far away,
Over the summer seas with him.
Over the distant summer seas
MariOrie's yearning fancies fly,
She feels the kiss of the island breeze,
She sees the blue of the tropic sky.
Docs she know as they come and go,
Those waves that lap the island shore,
That under their ceaseless ebb and flow
Golden locks float to and fro
Tangled locks She will comb no more?
Many hopeless hope she keeps,
Marjorie with the aching heart;
Sometimes she smiles. and sometime she weeps,
At thoughts that all unbidden start
She can see what the end will be:
some day when the Master sends for her,
A voice she knows will say joyfully,
God is waiting for Marjorie"-
And her lover will be His messenger!

Duty and Pleasure.

Sometimes we make a great mistake,
and talk about Duty and Pleasure, as
though they were bitter enemies who
could never live in the same house. Though
1T may sound very funny to you, yet it is
quite true, that to do what you don't like
IS one Of the pleasantest things in the
world. 1t isn't always so; and Just at first
1t often does not seem 50. For instance. it
wasn't very peasant for Lizzie, last Thurs
day, when she was curled up in the arm.
chair, reading story book, with pussy
sleeping in her lap, to have grandmamma
come in, and hear Must say, Lizzie. get
up, and let grandma have that chair" But
when she got up, and grandma kissed her
and said, "Thank you, dear" I'm sure
Lizzie knew something about how pleasant
1T is to do what you don't like.
Canon Kingsley says that boy is not
worth anything until he has learnt to do
what he does not like. ST. Paul tells us
that "even Christ pleased not himself"
and Jesus says, came down from heaven
not to do mine own will" 1t was not a
pleasant thing for Jesus to live suffering
life and to die on the cross. The scourgo
and the nails hurt him as much as thew
would you or me. If he had pleased him
self he would never have left the beautiful
home above, and the holy angels, to be
the TREND of sinners. And yet there was
true pleasure in this pain. 1t was "for
the JOY that was set before him" that he
endured the cross, despising the shame. =

THE FARMERS FRIENDs.-The swallow.
swift and night-hawI, are the guardians Of
the atmosphere. They check the increase
OF insects that otherwise would overload
1t. Woodpecllers, crcepers and chicka.
dees are the guardians of the trunl,s NJ
trees. Warbers and hy-catchers protect
foliage. Blackbirds, thrushes, crows and
larks protect the surface of the soil. snino
and woodcock the soil under the surface.
Each tribe has its respective duties to per-
form IN the economy Of nature; and it is
an undoubted fact that, if tho birds were
all swept away from off the earth, man
could not live upon it, vegetation would
wlther and die, insects would become so
numerous that no living thing could with
stand their attacks. The wholesale dies.
truction occasioned by the grasshoppers.
which have lately devastated the West. is
undoubtedly caused by the thinning out of
the birds, such as grouse, prairie hens.
etc., which feed upon them. The
great and inestimable service done to the
farmer, gardener and forest by the birds is
only becoming known by sad experience.
Spare the birds, and save your fruit; the
little corn and fruit taken by them is more
than compensated by the vast quantities of
noXious insects destroyed. The long.perse
cuted crow has been found, by actual ex.
pertinent, to do far more good, by the vast
quantity ofgrubs and insects destroyed.

A POPULAR ATTRACTIoN..-A tight.rope
performer has just announced his intention
of dancing hornpipe on rope stretched
twelve feet above the ground. Such per-
formance would manifestly offer too slight
risk of a broken neck to draw out much
OF crowed, so the "artist" has made his
exhibition irresstably attractive by stating
that while dancing he will have rope
fastened to his neck, one end of which will
be secured to the limb of a tree, so that a
slip OF the foot will most probably end his
INDUSTRIOUS career. While we do not see
any special reason why this fool should not
hang himself, we most earnestly hope that
no vulgar and bloodthirsty crowd will eniov
the satisfaction of seeing him do it, We
favor private executions.-BostonP Post.

Business Prospects.

1t is remarkable that a general revival of
trade should take place in the midst and
heat of Presidential canvass, when usually.
even in good times, trade suffers and be.
comes slack. If this business revival were
felt only in the Eastern cities it might proD-
erly be called one Of the effects of the Cen.
tennial Exhibition. But trade is awaken.
ing and confidence reviving sensibly West
as well as East. st. Louis journals note a
large increase of country buyers and a
generally active trade. Chicago. Cincin.
natl and other Western cities report greater
activity in trade than has been known since
1873. From New Orleans we hear that the
new cotton crop coming into market has a
marked effectupon business. New England
reports hopeful efforts toward establishing
an export trade. Wool, which hos been
dull for long time, finds sale again. The
Plttsburg papers speak cheerfully, even of
the iron trade, which has been the most
depressed of all. There are, it seems, in.
dications of an improved and improving
business in iron.
What is now needed is caution on the
part OF manufacturers. If every one rushes
rashly into production we shall have
markets glutted again, renewed stoppages,
distress and confusion. The country pro.
duces nowadays more than it can consume.
We must re-establish foreign trade be.
fore we can work upon sound basis, and to
do that we need some bad laws changed or
repealed which now bar us out from the
markets of the world. Our labor.saying
machinery enables us to produce at such
rate that we must sell a surplus abroad or
else be made to feel that American in.
genuity, of which we have always boosted,
is curse to its possessors.-N. Y. Herald

A HEALTH MEASURE.

Honolulu owes much of it's reputation for
healthiness to IFS locality and the nature of the
soil upon which it is built; and we can saw
very little as to the means taken to preserve
intact the last Of these advantages. We have
gone on year after year hiding all things
offensive to the sense of smell underground.
trusting to the hidden agencies of natural
drainage and disinfeeting properties of the soil
to carry off disease-generating influences, and
quietly ignoring the fact that there is such a
thing as overburdening the ground with refuse
matter, and that grading, filling in and building,
has altered the nature of the soil so that its
sanitary properties are Heakened each succeeding
year.
Diseases of low type have developed them
selves in our midst of late years, until now their
recurrance is as regular as in many cities of
other parts of the world and although their
epidemic form is as yet nothing like so fatal as
in older tropical towns (Rio Janeiro, for
instance) yet they prevail, and excite we'll
founded apprehension for the future.
This state of things is due, in a great measure.
