THE OLD FARM GATE.
III EuoENE ). HALL


NJ EUGENE ]. HALL.
The old farm gate hangs sagging down,
On rusty hinges, bent and brown;
Its latch is gone, and here and there
1t shows rude traces OF repair.
The old farm gate has seen, each year,
The blossom bloom and disappear
, The bright green leaves Of spring unfold,
And turn to autumn's red and gold.
The children have upon 1t chung.
And in and out with rapture swung,
When their young hearts were good and pure
When hope was fair and faith was sure.
Beside that gate have lovers true
Told the story always new;
Have made their VOWS have dreamed of bliss,
And sealed each promise with kiss.
The old farm gate has opened wide
To welcome home the new-nlade bride,
when lilacs bloomed and loests fair
With their sweet fragrance filled the air.
That gate, with rusty weight and chain,
Has closed upon the solemn train
That bore her lifeless form away,
Upon dreamy autumn day.
The lchens gray and MOSES green
Upon its rottipg posts seen;
Initials, carved With 20 Ithful skill,
Long years ago, are on II still.
Yet dear TO me above all things,
By reason OF the thoughts 1t brings,
Is that old gate, now sagging down,
On rusty hinges bent and brown.

KIND WokDs DO NOT Cosr MUcH.-They
never blister the tongue or lips. And we have
never heard of any mental trouble arising
from this quarter.
Though they do not cost much, yet they ae-
complish much.
1. They will help ones own good nature
and good will. Soft words soften oir own
soul. Angry words are fuel to the flame of
wrath, and make IL blaze more iiercely
2. Kind words make other people good-na-
TIRED. Cold words freeze peoples aisa hot
words scoycli them, and sarcastic words irrie
tate them, and bitter words make them WRATH
full.
There Is sneh rush Of all other kinds OF
words Id our days, that it seems desirable 10
give kind words a chance among them. There
are vain words and silly words, and hasty
words and empty words, and profane words,
and boisterous words, and warlike words
Kind words also produce their own imag5
on mems souls, and Leautiful image it is. -
They so0the and quiet and comfort the heal
er they shame him out Of his sour, moroscs
unkind feelings. We nave not yet bsssin to
use kind words Id such abundance as they
ought to be used.

4 RELIGIOUS JouRsAL ON poLirIcs.

Nobody need puzzle over the position
Of the Methodist 10 politics. We main.
tain an armed neutrality. We do not
think there is worse machine than the
democratic, unless It is tho republican.
And by The machine we mean the man
inside politics, the managing gangs, the
Interior rings, the Tammanies aud GUS
tom house cliquos, the men who mako
their living by politics. The rest OF the
people are not, TO our thinking, In Tic
same sense, either democratic OF republl-
can, and they are becoming less so every
year The hope Of the country lies IN
this increasing severance OF people aud
managers, and the approaching ascenden.
cy OF the former. Any gang will be de-
cent when compelled to il by votes; any
gang will be decent when the votes will
let them Strong sympathies are danger
Gus, They remove restraint from the
managers, When good men, who have
no personal stake, are in Portals mood
"to 10 a great right, do a dttie wron0"--
anything may happen, because either
group OF managers will do anything that
public opinion permits. Following ira
dlions brought down from Alexander
Hamilton, we dread popular heats and
lerments," for reasons which all our eI-
perience confirms these fever stages fs-
vor the schemes Of reckless men, and
dsarm the people in the presence OF
their fners.

SMALL FARMS.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican
says; The real estate agents note re-
markable aud steadily increasing demand
for small farms, worth from 81 200 to
$4,000, while large and high priced farms
are much less sought for. The mechan-
ics and laborers, whose wages have
beea steadily reduced for the last two
years, form the majority Of the purchas-
ers, and we fancy most Of them will find
that tho reductions have not been con.
fined to the city. Probably half OF those
people have not counted the cost, aud
will be glad enough to get back to tho
city after the novelty has worn OF, while
those who 90 to their new svocatien with
determination to work hard, and make
the thing a success at all hszards, will be
pretty sure to stay. A notable instance
Of the rapidity with which some Of the
former class change, is to be iound Ia

Boston aud Albany road. that has beea
sold ten times within twelve years.
