NY soul asks me, "Where is thy gain?"
Know that with the days short run
There's something left, that's all undone
The hours, the days, the weeks go by,
Deep SHOWS over the daisies lie;
zach fading sun brings me the thought,
What to Thee have this day brought?
MY heart is heavy in my breast,
With the dead flowers long to rest;
But with the spring-time's joyous glow
gain courage my way to go,
And pray with earnest heart to One,
That nothing | may leave undone.
AS DER my head the years pass by,
AND Ger my brow their sorrows fly;

With vain regret, but thank my lot
That it was granted me to do
What best might, and what knew
Was mine to finish; and the rest
For those who it might do tn best.
And l may know what begun
Is at the last by me we'll done.

A VALUABLE WORK.

DR.. R. V. Pierce, Of Buffalo, distinguished in
surgery, and the general practice in tho pro.
fessi0n he honors, has made valuable con-
tribution to the medical literature of the day,
in comprehensive work entitled "The Com

common sense Of everyday lite. DR.. Pierce is

THE MESSAGE.

The last message OF President Grant
to Congress, was read to that body yes
tsrday. Our space prevents rs from
giving the full teIt. but oil the import
ant points OF the message. We reproduce
to-day. IT'S like everything which Gen.
Grant has ever written. brief. and to the
point. No words are wasted. and no at
temp, at display is made. He simply
tells the Representatives Of the people
in plain Anslo-saIon. just what the c0n-
dition Of the country is. He makes
some suggestions which are worthy Of
consideration. especially ons with re-
gard to the army. for which he asks an
appropriation OF Sc. 900. 900 in addition
to that Of last year.
President Grant il remarkably silent
regarding the late Presidential election.
He says nothing in vindication Of his
action In sending troops to South Car
olina. although that action waspsrfsctly
proper and could easily Be justified.
Perhaps the dignity Of the Presidential
Office would bs lowered by any attempt
at Justification. But still the people
looked for some word from President
Grant on the subject; and the people
are disappointed. The Democratic
House is probably jubilant over this
emission. They want to impeach Grant
for his faithfulnsss to the country In
securing . fair vote and count in South
Carolina. and his failure TO say anything
about tho employment OF troops there.
gives the x.Confsdsrats members q
chance to make the most OF the facts.
General Grant 10 not afraid Of them.
Tho significant omission Of any men,
ton OF tho facts in his message shows
this.
Gen. Grant means to do his duty As
President until his tsrm ends.
The firm stand which he has taken In
the past. and which he maintains in his
message. shows this.
Tho message Is u good one. and eI'
presses In q few words much more than
many Presidents in the past have sx'
pressed In many words. II tells to
the country all that the country wants
70 know. II tells us exactly how w
stand at homo and abroad. And thai
is all. The President reiraina from
giving any opinion Oh the political com
plications which the country now has Il
meet. He simply does his duty. Al
ruler Of the nation. He tells Congress
the condition Of the Republic and sus
gests to il what should be done in thu
interests Of the nation.
