The clouds hang heavy round nay way
| cannot see;
But through the darkness believe
God leadeth me.
IT'S sweet to keep my hand in His,
While all is dim;
To close my weary aching eyes,
And follow Him.
Through many a thorny path He leads
My tired feet;
Through many path of tears / go,
But it is sweet
To know that He is close to me,
Ny God, my guide;
He leadeth me, and SO wait
Quite satisfied.

Income for year, OF per cent.

the land had been rated at $50 per
acre, a low average rate for New
York State, the income would
have been IL! per cent. on capital

In contrast to this, I give. the
report of Mr.. Hill, who resides
some four miles northeast of Man

Income for 1875:

Increase on capital invested,
26.S per cent, or almost three
times as much as my friend makes
in New York. Mr.. Hills cows
earned him, besides the raising of
the six calves, on an average.
$30.62. In the summer the COWS
grazed on the bluffs; during the
present winter he is feeding them
cornstalks and meal. Mr.. Hill
hires no help, works some twenty
acres on shares, upon which he
raises grain for his team and cows.

An Interview with the Pope.

In q lecture in the Cathedral In Louis.
Vile. Kentucky. q few weeks ago. Father
William J.. Dunn said no had read
church history. and was somewhat
familiar with the Roman Pontiff. but Of
the $50, OO0, 900 OF Catholics that look
upon Plus IL. a. the successor Of 81.
Peter. none were ever moro loved and
rsvsred than the present Pope. The
simplicity Of the lecturers introduction
to him led him to ask himself after the
interview whether he had really seen
him. But he remembered that he had
kissed his ring and drawn aside his cos.
sack and kissed his foot not his "big
toe" about which he had read 30 much
in early life when he attended o Profess
tant school. But no revsred him be-
cause he beheli in him one Of the most
illustrious Of his brilliant line; one that
had rsigned longer than any OF his pre-.
decessors. and one that had accomplish
Cd more extraordinary things than any
Of them. Tho ceremony Of the audience
was plain and simple. The Popo was
dressed in a white garment, carried n
small cane, and walked In a shufiing
way, the result OF an accident. Ho was
in his eighty. third year, and yet no was
full Of vieor. speaking in n strong. sweet
voice. and easily comprising with 1t a
hall a. large a. the Cathedral. His ges-
ticulations were very graceful, and he
always spoke with great impressiveness.
The visit to the Pope, said tho lecturer.
ono Of the happiest incidents OF his
life. and he should ever treasure the re-
mcmbrnnce of IL.

to support from their meagrs allowance.

when the freight trains. especially those
marked "slow." will get through. The
time for slow freight to come through
usually ranges from twenty to thirty
days, though in some cases the time has
been extended 10 forty or moro days.
Some Of our leading merchants have Of
late shown a decided preference for the

operation to sustain him. For every

The House subcommittee in Lou
isiana, South CaroIinaand Florida are
unearthing some Of the most Outrage
Gus and villainous frauds ever attenp,
ted upon any people To elect the
Hayes electors 1900 Democratic
votes were thrown out. III one Con
gressional District 5000 votes
were discarded to elect their man,
nearly 1000 in excess Of the amount
thrown out in that district in order to
count Hayes in. While to get a ma
jority on joint ballot in the Legisla-
ture, in some instances, double and
treble the number were thrown out.
The figures show that the number
Of votes necessary to CONT in Hayes
electors were in no case sufficient to
elect Congressman in various districts,
or Senator'S and Representatives, or
to elect Packard and the State ticket.
Intimidation was Of different degrees
Of intensity just in proportion as their
own candidates were popular or I'M
popular. This is in Louisiana and
in this Centennial year Equal frauds
and villainies were practiccd in the
other two States. BY the time the
Investigations are ended the country
will stand aghast at the sight.

stool. brokers signing for Old rine.

There isa growing discomfort among
the members Of the Stock Exchange
as to the policy of adhering to the
present rates of brokerage. Members
whose principal occupation NOWADAYS
is TO match quarters, complain that
business at 'tthree and shilling, in
the good old times was far better than
it Is now at an eighth, and assign the
dulpess that broods over the market
principally to the present rates of
brokerage. \ member of the Gov
erning Committee said, in substancc,
yesterday, that the real cause of the
dizziness was that the stock market was
Jay Goulded. He said the reports as
to Il meeting of the Exchange to
reduce the rates of commission were
true to this extent: y proposition had
been referred to a Committee of FIVE
TO cut down brokerages from eighth
to u sixteenth to Il certain c.asy.
This class would be composed of out
Of town banks and bankers, and some
large operators in town. 1t i pro-
posed 10 encourage them to do an in
creased business by giving them an as
sociate membership for $500 year,
which would entitle them to do bust
ness at half the present rates. The
general idea Is to encourage large Gus
toners out Of and in town, but the
Committee will not consider at pres
ent a general reduction in rates Of
commission Tor which the boys are
signing. The Committee will not,
probably, make ii report for some
time.-N. J. Sun
