sTRENGTH FOR TOPAZ.
BY MRS. M. A. K1DDER.

Strength tor to-day is all that we need,
For tomorrow will prove another today,
With its measure of joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of lite
With such grave and sad persistence,
And watch and wait for a crowd of Ills
That as yet have no existence?
Strength for to-tlay-what precious boon
For the earnest solls who labor,
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend or neighbor.
Strength tor to-day-that the weary heart
E In the battle for right may quail not
And the eyes be, dimmed with bitter tears
In their search Tor light may fail not.
Strength for to-tlay, on tile downiii3l track,
For the travellers near the valley
That up, for mp on the other side.
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day-that otr precious youth
May happily shnu temptation,
And build from the rise to the set of the sun
On strong and sure foundation.
Strength for to-day-in house and home
To practice forbearance sweetly-
To scatter kind words and loving deeds.
Still Trusting in God completely.
Strength for to-day is nil that we need.
As there never will be a Tomorrow.
For Tomorrow will be but another to-day.
With its measure of Joy and sorrow.

The CITY ELECTION Is almost upon
us, and little knots of men OIL the corners
can be seen sercnely canvassing the situa-
tion. There seems to be no lack of can
didates to fill the paying offices, while
there are several who will except situations
as Councilmen. if said situations are forced
upon them. The city has prospered we'll
under the watchful care of the present City
Dads. owing. doubtless, to the fact that
the Mayor and four of the six Couuciimen
were honest. capable, squaretoed Repnbli-
cans. We don't wish to be understood as
casting any slurs upon the two Democratic
CouneiImen not a bit of IT, They are
two of the best men in the party but
then. being IN such good company. they
couldn't well go asfray, and they don't
deserve any special ennmendation for
what they couldn't help! Seeing that the
affairs of the city have prospere SO well
in Republican hands, would it st be the
part of wise economy and good business
sense to continue the city government in
the same hands-in the hands of the Re-
publican party? We believe Il would !;
and we are inclined to the opinion that all
the Republican City Convention has to do
Is to place in nomination good, sound, ca
pable. honest men. the peers of those Mt
present in Office. to secure the election of
the entire ticket. A change at the present
time might prove disastrous it is a good
maxim to let well enough, alone, y and
our people generally, we believe. are of
this way OF thinking. Let as nominate a
good ticket, and there'li be no trouble in
securing It's election.
