has made somc noble discovery, when
the literary man has written a great
book, when the statesman has carried
a series of important measures, we
cannot say he has exhausted himself.
The spiritual man is indeed depend
ent on the. material man, and as the
body moves OH toward decay and dis
solution it extends something of the
influence of its weakness and incapac-
ity to its spiritual companion but
even then the soul resists this and as
serts its separate existence; the mind
of man knows that each separate effort
instead of exhausting his powers tends
to strengthen them, and SO he will 60
on continually making larger and
nobler and more vigorous efforts. So,
too, is it with conscience and duty !;
with these there is no fiuality. One
great act suggests another, ,one sacrifice
makes another easier; the virtuous
impulse in the soul is not like the
growth in the tree, self-exhausting
force, but it is always moving on, al
ways advancing. "Be not weary in
well-doing"-this is the language of
the Eternal to the human will; but
never is "Be not weary of growing"
said to the tree or the animal, because
organic matter differs from spirit in
this, that it does reach the limit of its
activity and then it turns backwards
toward non-eXistence.

NV CREED,

hold that Christian grace abounds
Where charity is seen; that when
We climb to heaven tits on the rounds
OF love to men.
i hold all else named piety
A selfish scheme, a vain pretence;
Where centre is not, can there he
circumference?
This moreover hold, and dare
Affirm where'er my rhyme may go;
Whatever things be sweet or fair.
Love makes them so.
Whether it be the lullabies
That cheer to rest the nesting bird,
Or that sweet confidence of sighs
And blusnes without word.
Whether the dazzling and the flush
or softly sumptuous garden bowers,
Or by some cabin door or bush
OF ragged flowers.
Ills not the wide phylactery,
Nor stubborn fast. or stated prayers.
That makes us saints; we judge the tree
By what it bears.
And when a man can live apart
From work, on theologic trust,
know the blood about his heart
Is dry as dust,

"Will you do something to oblige

woman of a timid gentleman whose
acquaintance she had just made at a
small social gathering on West Adams
street the other evening.
"Anything that l can in honor,

into the library, demanded an expla-
nation OF her shameless conduct, was
softened by her tears, called himself a
brute, asked if she ever could forgive
him, and promised to behave better in
the future. And how did the young
girl reward the young man who belp-

On the banks of the Missouri River,
near Omaha. two lads found last Sun.
day small glass bottle which had
been washed ashore by the high water.
1t was tightly corked, and contained a
small wad Of paper with the following
lines written with a pencil: "WhO
finds this in the bOtte may know am
gone to the other shore, and if it was
not for ii. S. l should have been hap
py and still living. She caused it.
hope God will forgive her, for can

saw-mill. Good -by.-George Garks. "
Alack! poor Garks; to drown him
self in SO dirty river! Alack! poor
"H. ST." to drive a man into the dark
waters by her abominal coquetry !!
But the Coroner thinks that nobody is
to be pitied, and that small glass
bottle and not life has been wasted.
He declares that no floating bodies
have been seen in the river since June
Goth, the date of the memorandum,
and suspects that Garks is making
love to another girl on the "other
Shore" which happens to be the Iowa
bank.
