The Pastors Reverie.

BY REV. WASHINGTON GLADDEN. es
The pastor sits in his easy chair.
With the Bible upon his knee
From gold 20 purple the clouds in the west
Are changing momentiy;
The shadows lie I'm the valleys below,
And hide I'm the curtains fold;
And the page grows dim wherein he reads
81 remember the days of old"
mot clear nor dark, as the Scripture saith
The pastors memories are;
No day that Is gone was shadowless,
No night was without its star:
But mingled bitter and sweet hath been
The portion OF his cup:
1.-THE hand that in love hath smitten." he
saith,
ain love hath bound us up"
Fleet flies his thought over many a field
OF stubble and snow and bloom,
And now IL trips through festival,
And now Il halts at a tomb;
Young faces smile in his reverie
OF those that are young no more,
And voices are heard that only come
With the winds from a far-of shore.
He thinks of the day when first, with fear
And faltering lips, he stood
To speak I'm the sacred place the Word
To the waiting multitudei
He walks again TO the house of God.
With the voice of JOY and praise,
With many whose feet long time have
pressed
Heavens safe and pleasant ways.
file enters again the homes Of toll,
And Joins in the homely chat;
He stands I'm the shop of the artisan;
He sits, where the Master sat,
At the poor mans fire and the rich mans
feast,
But who to day are the poor,
And who are the rich? Ask him who keeps
The treasures that ever endure.
Once more the green and the grove resound
With the merry children's din;
He hears their shout at the Craftsmanship
When Santa Claus stalks in.
Once more ne lists when the camp fire
roars
ON the distant mountain side,
Or, proving apostleship, plies the brook
Where the fierce young troutlings hide.
Aud now he beholds the wedding train
To the altar slowly move,
And the solemn words are said that seal
The sacrament of love.
Anon at the font he meets once more
The tremulous youthful pair,
With a white -robed cherub growing re-
Spouse
To the oonsecrating prayer.
BY the couch of pain he kneels, again;
Again, the thin hand lies
Cold i'm his palm, while the last far look
steals into the steadfast eyes;
And now the burden of hearts that break
Lies heavy upon his own
The widows woe and the orphans cry
And the desolate mothers moan.
SO blithc and glad, so heavy and sad,
Are the days that are no more,
SO mournfully sweet are the sounds that
float
With the winds from a far off shore.
For the pastor has learned what meaneth
the word
That is given him to keep
" Rejoice with them that do rejoice
And weep with them that weep"
1t is not I'm vain that he has trod
This lonely and toilsome way,
IL is not in vain that he has wrought
In the vineyard all the day;
For the soul that gives is the soul that lives
And bearing anOther's load
Doth Tighten your own and shorten the way
And brighten the homeward road.

DOMESTIC ECONOMY.

INDIAN PUDDING.-1 quart of milk
with pint of Indian meal stirred into
the milk when it is boiling hot, l table
spoonful of ginger, l teacupful of mo-
lasses, little salt.
SWEET POTATO PIE.-Make rich pie
crust, lay in slices of steamed sweet po-
tatO and thin slices of apple, spread
thickly with sugar, butter, and grated
nutmeg; cover with crust, and bake.
SPONGE CAKE cups sugar, 2 cups
flour, 4 teaspoonfuls baking-powder, 4
eggs, cup boiling water. Mix the eggs,
sugar, flour, and baking-pOwder thor
oughly together; add the boiling water;
stir quickly; put into pans and bake i'm
mediately. If desired to be very moist
bake in L" quick oven"
CANNING PLUMS.-It is not customary
to stone or peel plums for cooking or
canning. Never cook them in metal,
always in earthenware, pOrcelain-lined
utensils, or granite ware. Fill even full
of water, cover close and cook gently,
until you can pierce them with straw.
Dip them into the cans carefully to avoid
breaking them, and seal as you would
any other fruit.
BARLEY OR CORN COFFEE.-Wash
the barley, dry it, then brown carefully
without scorching; grind it and mix
with an egg and pour over it boiling
water. Let it boil gently few minutes

bled with bowel complaint and is very
palatable and nourishing. Corn coffee,
prepared the same way, is excellent to
settle the stomach.

BELLADONNA.

The Suydams were at their mansion
at Newport. There are no houses there
now; they have ali been mansions ever
since the Revolution, when Newport
ceased To be a city as we call cities.
The Suydams consisted of Mr.. John
Suydam, retired banker, and Grace, his
daughter. To be sure, a second cousin
of the latter, Howard Tenbrock, was so
seldom anywhere else that people not
intimate with their domestic arrange
ments might assume that he was one of
the family; but this was not so, nor like
ly to be, as it happened.
Grace was a charming girl, slender,
1.-THE, " daughter of the gods" divine
" tall and as "divinely fair" with a
manner rs winning as her breeding was
gentle. She had a will of her own, for
which she was indebted quite as much
to her father rs she was to her dead
mother for her beauty. 1t had been I'M
derstood, that is to say it had never
dawned upon the minds of her friends
TO think otherwise, that she was to mar
nv her cousin Howard some time or 9th
er-the some time that would probably
follow the event of his choosing to ask
the momentous question. He was a
handsome fellow, and did little else but
appear well-very little indeed his peo-
pie had expected of him, WA mad left
him plenty of money to do nothing with
when they passed away to the setting
sun. He did not disappoint their hopes.
He was quiet, albeit when he talked he
could talk well, and he had managed tC

Pride did that probably. He
read what others did, pre-
ferred Tennyson to Longfellow, as he
preferred lazy haze on a mountain tC

quietly, the Suydams, whether at hom'
or upon their travels. Mr.. Suydam'
tendencies were aristocratic; Grace, ;
trile exclusive, was proud but no

was to dress well, look well, preside owe
her fathers house, and be happy, an'

Law-and-Order Bump OF q Baggage
Man,

The Erie Railroad has one baggage man
who is stickler for law and order. There
is a statute forbidding the ferries to carry
corpses without a COroners permit under
a penalty of $3.50. This baggage man
had read law enough to be familiar with
that statute. A lady carrying a three
months old baby got on the train at way
station. The baby was sick and able to
make very little noise or motion. 1t was
lust alive. In few minutes the lady
looked at it anxiously, and then silently
covered its face with green viel and held
il close. The passengers suspected the
change that had taken place, but said
nothing. The lady, evidently the mother
of the child, was in fearless sorrow, and
counting every milestone of the way.
Arrived in HObOken, she hurried to the
baggage car to look after a trunk. The
law-and order baggage man looked at the
baby-clOthes and the vail that envelOped
the baby face and asked: " Madame, is
not that baby deadr She answered,
ives" and explained that the child had
died on the train, and she was to De met
by her husband and a carriage over the
river. The baggage-man went for an
officer, and the mother and her dead baby
were arrested on the ferry boat, just as 1t
was going to start. The officer looked
ashamed of himself, but he said he had
to do his duty And that poor woman
and her little corpse were detained several
hours in Hoboken, by the red tape of
Jersey. The Mayor, the Coroner, doc
tor and several people had to be sum
moned, and finally the law was satisfied
and thy let the lady and her very light,
yet heavy burden go their way. In the
meantime the husband was in terrible
suspense. The picture of dead woman
folding her child, washed in by the tide,
was ever present to him, as he gazed out
over the water. The baggage-man that
would tell on such little corpse as that,
must be very anxious to make record as
law-abiding, orderlOving citizen. But
that was a very small thing-that corpse.

Hot Mine.

The Savage incline, at point near the
water, is so hot as to be almost beyond
human endurance. But for their shirts
the skin of the men would be blistered
as though by a jet of scalding steam.
A man from the mines recently showed
a blister on his arm that was nearly as
large as a mans hand. This blister was
caused by exposing his arm at the
tom of the incline. 1t is so hot down at
the water that in screwing n nut on the
end of bolt one man would be able to
do no more than fasten n monkey
wrench upon it before he would be
obliged to retreat. Another would then
descend and give the wrench two or
three turns, when he would fall back,
and third man would go down and
give it a few turns. Yesterday morning
the "giraffe" got off the truck well
down the incline, and in trying to re-
place it one of small party of men was
so overcome by the heat that he fell
down in state of insensibilitv. His
companions carried him from a point
between the LOO and the 1900 foot
levels to the 1900 foot level of the Hale
and Norcross Mine, where he could
obtain mouthful of fresh air. He was
still unconscious when he reached the
point named. - Virginia City Enterprise.

How Legal Prizes are Won.

The great prizes of the legal profess
sions are now won from industry rather
than genius. Brilliancy is very well for
squirt, but hard work tells in the long
run. Solomon said: Seest thou man
who is diligent in his business, he shall
stand before kings" and the lawyers
who can ''toil terribly" are sure to make
their mark in time. Many of the most
eminent advocates have risen from the
lowest rung of the ladder, and by untir-
ing industry. There is no royal road to
success at the bar.-NelC York Express.

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth;
The impulses Of worldless PRAYER,
The dream of love and truth;
The longings after something lost;
Toe spirits yearning cry;
The striving after better hopes;
These things shall never die.
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
A brother in his need;
The kindly word in griefs dark hour
That proves the friend indeed;
The plea Of mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh.
The sorrow Of a contrite heart;
These things shall never die.
The memory of clasping hand.
The pressure of kiss,
The kindly word in grief's dark hour
That makes us loves first bliss;
II with firm. unchauging faith,
And holy trust on high,
These hands have clssped. these lips
have met,
These things shall never die.
The cruel aad the bitter word
That wounded q il fell;
The chilling want Of sympathy
We fell, but cannot tell;
The hard repulse that chills the heart
Whose hopes were bounding high.
Is an unfaded record kept;
These things shall never die.
Let nothing pass. for every hand
Must find some work to do;

Beam on thee from on high;
And angel voices say to thee.
