Gathering Home.

Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one;
Pilgrims ore Joining the heavenly band,
Gathering one by one;
Their brows are enclosed in golden crowns,
Their trnvel-stained robes are all laid down,
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one.
CHORUS:
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
Home, home, sweet, sweet home.-Sup.
Gathering, gathering, gathering home,
Gathering homeward one by one,
Gathering, gathering, gathering home,
Sweet, sweet home
Loved ones have gone to that distant shore,
Gathering one by one;
Others are going for evermore,
Gathering one by one;
Our sisters so gentle, our brothers so brave,
The beautiful children DER the wave,
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one.
We, too, shall come TO the riverside,
Gathering one by one;
Nearer its waters each eventide,
Gathering one by one;
O Jesus, our faintfng strength uphold,
The waves of that river are dark and cold;
Gathering homeward from every land,
Gathering one By one.
Jesus, Redeemer, be thou our stay!
Gathering one by one;
Cross the dark river with us. we pray,
Gathering one by one;
Then boldly we'll come to Jordan's side,
And felrlessly breast its swelling tide,
Gath ering homeward from every land,
Gathering one by one.

Better lays to Come.
BY OSCAR IL. nARPEi.

The heart may bend with weight OF wo,
And all the world look drear,
While DER its careworn path we go
With nothing bright to cheer;
Yet, in the bosom ever dwells.
Though all things else are dumb,
A low, sweet voice, that whispering tells
OF better days TO come.
Though mortal ills may to us cling;
Foul wrong may silence right;
Within the soul be fostering
Some hurt IL hides from sight;
Still, lit by q celestial spark
That glOws through gloom profound,
Hopes signal guides us In the dark
Till brighter scenes are found.
There is no evil that can slay
The faith beyond the grave;
There IL no might to bar its way
The spirit dare not brave;
And, come what will to stay Its wings,
That seek a better home,
Within its depths the sweet voice sings
or deathless days to come.

ALEAP-YEAR ANEC DOTE.

The story of the marriage of Lamar
tine. the great French Poet and states
man, is one of romantic interest. The
lady was of an English family named
Birch, a4d very wealthy. She first fell
in love with the poet from reading his
''Meditations Peetiques" She was
slightly past the bloom of youth, but
still young and fair. She read and re-
read the "Meditati0ns," and nurscd the
tender sentiment in secret. At length
she saw Lamartine in Genoa, and here
love become part of her very life. Not
long alter this she was made acquainted
with the fact that the poet was suffer-
ing, even to unhappiness, from the en-
barrassed state of his pecuniary affairs.
Miss Bearch was not long in deciding
upon her course. She would not allow
the happiness of lifetime to slip from
her If she could prevent it. She wrote
| to the poet frank and wemanly letter
acknowledging her deep interest and
profound respect, and Offering him the
bulk of her fortune if he were willing to
accent il. Of course, Lamartine could
not but suspect the truth. Deeply
touched by her generosity, he called
upon her, and found her to be not only
fair to look upon, but woman of q
brilliant literary and artistic education.
He made an offer of his hand and heart.
and was promptly and gladly accepted
and in after years Alfonso de Lamarine
owed not more to his wife's wealth than
to her sustaining love and inspiring
IenthusiaGm.

THE FOURTH IN BRISTOL.

| The centennial celebration held at
| the Town Hall in Bristol proved very
pleasant and enjoyable affair. A goodly
number Of the patriotic people OF Bris-
toll were gathered there, and few
visitors were present from Salem. The
Hall was decorated with appropriate
notices, small flags and eyergreens.
MI. Chas. Gibbs acted as Marshal. The
| Rev. Mr.. Mcbride led the audience in
PRAYER. He offered most heartily
thanks to Almighty God for the great
and innumerable blessings he had
shoWered upon us as q nati0n during the
past one-hundred years, and beseeched
the giver of all good to continue to
| bless and prosper us as q nation. He
referred to the fact that the people of
many nations of the East were trem-
bling at the prospect of war, and SINGER
| " thanked God thatno cloud Of war
hung over us, but that peace and pros
perity reigned in all our borders. The
singers of Hosmer Chapel were present
and gave a charm to all the exercises
with their beautiful songs. The sing
ing was led by Mr.. Winfield Carpenter,
assisted by Mr.. Sovereign, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mead Mr.. Frank Stevens, Mrs.
Buck and others whose names / did
not know. A vote Of thanks was
rendered the singers for the entertain
inent and pleasure their patriotic and
beautiful singing had afforded. The
Declaration was impressively read by
Jas. M. Kellogg, and it's patriotic senti-
ments were frequently applauded.
MI. D. A. MahOney read a brief his
tory Of the settlement and Organiza-
ton Of the town, which was listened
to with great interest. Mr.. j. NJ
Kellogg moved that in accordance with
the recommendation of Congress a
copy be placed on file in the County
archives and another copy be forward !
ed to the Librarian Of Congress, which |
motion was unanimously adopted. On
mo ion r. S. Leonard it was voted that |
r. T. Roberts be requested to compile |
the history Of the town of Bristol in
the war Of the rebellion. The Pres
ident, J. G.. Roberts, then adjourned |
the assembly to their dinner baskets,
boxes ana pals. The beautiful grove
surrounding the town hall afforded
ample room and shade for picnic |
dinner, and in a few minutes the whole |
multitude were enjoying one Of the
merriest feasts they every sat down
to. An hour was passed around the
fast emptying baskets in social con-
verse and the gay laugh went around.
The friendly chat, the grateful shade
Of the noble old oaks and other means
of enjoyment outside made it somewhat
difficult for the Marshal to get the
audience together in the hall again.
This being accomplished, the offering
of Patriotic sentiments and volunteer
speaking was in order. MI. Samuel r.
Leonard being called on offered 1.-The
Day we Celebrate and to the senti-
ment made a patriotic speech. Speeches.
were made by the following named
gentlemen, which were listened to with
apparent interest: Jas. M. Kellogg,
Rev. Mr.. Mcbride and MI. John Lacy.
A patriotic sentiment was offered by !
Mr.. A. H. Stevens. A motion to
adjourn till next Fourth of July was
made and carried.

Several of the hard-cider representatives of Sa-
lem went to Kenosha to celebrate the Fourth.
They were hungry and they oined at the Grant
House. They were thirsty, aud they drank at the
saloons. They ate and drank, and were merry
through the day. Finally they returned to Salem
Station IL the baggage car so very bewildered it
was necessary to escort them all home but one
the Methuse!ah of the company, who with many
strange gestures managed to recch his lonely hut.
Last Saturday deputation of Racine rowdies
visited our quiet city, who. thinking that
Kenosha whisky is as well watered as Racine
whisky, undertook to drink their usually large
quantity. This had the effect of making them
drunk, and the driver began racing his HORSES
nice span-up and down Main street to the
danger of the life and limb OF our sober citizens
The Marshal induced the young blood to discon-
tinue his rapid racing. Soon after this, the
driver invoked the aid of the same officer to in
ducc the rest of the drunken crew to go home OF
to jail. They went homel

The rain and wind storm of Monday night is
said to have done considerable damage to the
crops In this county. The grain is badly lodged
IN many places, and meadows overfoWed with
water. The ground is so saturated with water,
that it will not take up the excessive rainfall
and the water remains till eulface drainage can
carry it off. This same complaint comes from
nearly all parts west and south. Mr.. S. Reynolds,
who has lately returned from trip through Mis-
souri,, states that the lower portions of the
state are almost completely submerged. He says
that it is not an uncommon sight to see two
story houses standing in water up to the second
floor. Corn fields of large extent are covered
