est regards for her:

Awake and bear the busy mum
| Of insect life among the trees
Whose leafy banners tempt the breeze
Awake for natures face is calm
Her peace will shed DER thee balm
And make thy path all fair and bright
And where twas gloom it shall be light
Awake and meet thy winged guests
For there are no birds in last years nests
But now they'll sing among the boughs
Above the heads of sleeping cows.
Awake and see the bursting leaves
And hear the robin on the ewes
And see the gambols of the lambs
AS now they frisk about their dams
Awake and see the mountain streams
And how the sunlight on them CLEANS
See how the dancing water flows
And feel how soft the zephyr blows.
Awake and greet the coming spring Z
Awake and we will gladly sing
Awake for all the world is gay
0 Love awake, and come away.

The sunny days of spring have come
We see the bees and hear their hum i
The sap is dancing in the trees.
And in their tops we hear the breeze
The nights are lovely still and calm
The stars pour on my soul a balm
The moon is round and clear and bright
Its beams fill all the world with light
The birds have come to be our guests
And soon they'll build their little nests
High in the trees whose lofty boughs
In summer shade the meekeyed cows
The shrubs are bursting into leaves
While the rain drops fall from off the caves
And in the meadows sport the lambs
And frolic by their quiet dams.
From the hills come forth. the babbling
streams
The sunshine on their wavelets CLEANS
And as the water onward flows
1t murmurs to the wind that blows
Oh! joyous are the days Of spring
Its beauties [ will haste to sing
Let us be happy, let us be gay
As we pursue the fiowery way

The Omissions of Scriptures.

How pregnant with meaning may that be
which appears at first sight only an acci-
dental omission Such an accidental omis-
sion it might at first sight appear, that the
Prodigal, who while yet in far country had
determined, among other things which he
would say to his father, to say, "Make mo
as one of thy hired servants" when he reach
es his fathers feet, when he hangs on his
fathers neck, says all the rest which he had
determined, but says not this. We might
take this, at first, for fortuitous omission;
but indeed what deep things are taught us
here This desire to be made as hired SER
want, this wish to be kept at q certain dis.
tance, this refusal to reclaim the fulness of
a child's privileges, was the one turpid and
troubled element in his repentance. How
instructive then its omission; that, saying
all else which he had meditated, he yet says
not this. What lesson for every penitent
in other words, for every man. We may
learn from this, wherein the true growth in
faith and in humility conaists-how he that
is grown in these can endure to be fully and
freely blest--to accept all, even when he
most feels tha. he has forfeited all, that only
pride and the surviving workings Of self
righteousness and evil stand in the way Of
reclaiming Of every blessing, which the sim
ner had lost, but which God is waiting and
willing to restore.-Irench.

The Imprecatory Psalms.

One of our friends recently received let
ter from missionary who had been forty
years in the Levant, in which this passage
occurs "In regard to the Imprecatory
Psalms 1 have not the slightest difficulty

one who has, would be cured by six weeks
residence in Hasbeijah or Mey Ayun or any
other interior part of the country to day
Here on the coast where things are little
better, We exclaim, 0 Lord, hOw long shall
the wicked triumph But let any man who
objects to the Imprecatory Psalms be made
to live here, without protection from his own
government for six weeks, and he will find
the language Of the most violent Psalm quite
too weak for him. He will want to put in a
double portion of fire and birthstone, and
conclude that if there is not a hell there ought
to be one, and deep one too On this
point we are in danger of quarrelling with
the providence of God, which permits such
things. ;. Political matters here are
very dark. We hope the Mohammedan
power may gets pull down in the present
war, and we daily pray, Destroy thou them,
that destroy the earth. If that is wicked, We
are doing wickedly, and we shall continue to
do so until the Turk is blotted out, and Mo-
hammedsnism and the Papacy have no more
power"

The Chimney Sweeps Prayer.

l like to repeat the answer little sweep
gave me the other day in Sunday School.
Knowing that all the children of my class
we're constantly occupied during the week, I
feared that the duty of prayer was sometimes
neglected. insisted that day on the i'm
portance of prayer. At the close I asked
little boy of ten years of age, who led very
uncomfortable life in the service of master
sweep: "And you, my friend, do you ever
pray?" "Oh, yes, monsieur" "Aud when
do you do it You go out very early in the
morning, do you not?" Yes, monsieur,
and We are only half awake when we leave
the house. l think about God, but cannot
say that l pray then" "When then 2"
"You see, monsieur, our master orders us to
mount the chimney quickly, but does not for
bid US to rest little when we are at the top.
Then l cit on the top of the chimney and
pray" "And what do you say?" "Ah,
monsieur, very little! l know no grand
words with which to speak to God. Most
frequently l only repeat short verse;
What is that?" "God be merciful to me
miserable sinner. ."-French Sunday School
Magazine.

PREACHING IN SONG.
BY IRA D. SANKEY.

believe there are more ways of praising
God than by singing hymns. There is an
other kind of singing which l observe here
in Boston and elsewhere. 1t is put under the
head of praise, while there is no praise in it
at all. Singing to one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs; now this is
solo-singing, or singing alone, as we have
been doing here and elsewhere. l conceive
that this kind of singing is not thoroughly
understood by most of the people. That is
to say, our understanding of it and theirs
are not alike. If l should come here and
sing solo, as we shall have tonight some
songs sung in that way, there is no praise in
that; and in our prayers on this platform
we often ask Gods blessing upon the sing.
ing of praises, and we join together to sing
his praise.
We scarcely ever ask blessing on the
preaching of his word in song. The mission
of preaching and teaching in song is not un-
derstood fully. believe that the hymns,
"Jesus of Nazareth passeth BY" and "The
Ninety and Nine" and "What shall the har-
vest be?" do not contain word of praise,
and yet they are sung in all the meetings all
over the country. wish people would get
the distinction that one class Of hymns is to
teach, and the others, such as Praise God
from whom all blessings how," and "Jesus
lover of my soul" are hymns in which the
whole congregation can join in praising God.
But for one man to sit here and try to praise
God for this whole audience, would be
strange performance.
Perhaps many here wonder why I have
sung alone. Itis because I thought that by
these sweet gospel hymns I might reach some
heart in the great congregation. l thank
God that he has blessed his message as sung
in these congregations. God has been bless
ing the message when it has been sung alone.
l get testimonies almost every day from some
poor soul, who has received the message of
Gods love through these little gospel hymns,
and therefore I want the Christians to have
faith that God can bless this way of deliver
ing his message of love; and then We shall
all join more heartily in the days to come in
the singing.
0 how we might go to the bed.ridden and
outcast in this city, and sing song for Je.
sus Christ! If you cannot go to preach to
them, what blessing would accompany the
singing of one Of these sweet gospel hymns
to those who don't come to these meetings at
all May God give US hearts thus to do!
If we cannot preach, let us go and sing for
Jesus Christ. He has given thousands of
you voices-better voices than mine, or those
upon the platform, so that you can go and
carry this message of his love. :

fire, some of which may be enumerated. He
was Preacher, Mayor of the Town, Libra
rian, Teacher, Postmaster, Merchant, editor
of the AgrScaltural Museum, Miller, gradu-
ator of the streets, and turned Analoston Is
land into a peninsula by the erection of a
causeway. 1t was perfectly astonishing how
he could manage such complicated vOcations.
At last the Government employed him to
run line from st. Mary's river to Wash
ington. After completing his work to North
Carolina he was smitten by the sun and died.
This incident took place 1913. He was a
man of extraordinary energy. He never
seemed to be weary. His quadrant was his
constant companion, and galvanic batteries
his delight. The demonstrations of the black
board were more genial to his taste than the
tableaux of Homer, or Millions descriptive
touches of Eden.
The person of whom we write, though far
from being popular speaker, was highly

except in few stereotyped anecdotes which
he told with inordinate frequency. He could
have read the Sanscrit as soon as he could
have understood Don Quixote. We never
saw him in better spirits than after his return
from Pennsylvania, where he had bought
three splendid horses, perhaps on specula-
ton. They were as fine looking as the three
the Sultan of COnstantinople sent to Jeffer-
son. The poet Alfere collected drove of
twenty English Steeds, bus there were among
them no such triple group. But our teacher
was good man. His piety was the rending
of the heart and not the training of the knee.
He was strict observer of the Sabbath, and
as chief magistrate he promoted the repose of
the town on the first day of the week. Quays
we're tranquil, its northern hills glowing in
light; Rock creek winding on to the river;
the moss of Analoston slluring swans that
fed in silence, and the heights of Arlington
alive in Summer foliage. Each of our Sab
paths might have sat to the Scottish pencil
If Grahame. But times are changed. The
square of the town is filed with cars. But

inter into the Etigated question whether

creased the miseries of men.

OUR DAILY RECKONING.

If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And counting, find
One selfdenying act, one word
. That eased the heart of him who heard;
One glance, most kind,
That fell like sunshine where it went,
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the ivelong day,
You've chesrsd nc heay.. =; yea or nay;
If, through it all,
You've nothing done, that you can trace,
That brought the sunshine to one face;
No act, most small,
That helped some soul, and nothing cost,
Then count that day as lCorSe than lost!

THE NIGHT BLESSING.

A gentle blessing came last night,
When praying hands were motionless in sleep,
Folded in dreamu ease on scarcely heaving breasts;
And praying thoughts were silled in slumbers deep.
Then through the watches Of the Sabbath night,
When men knew not, Gods hand was on the deep,
Drawing the moisture from its hidde wells
Over the earth he bade the night clouds weep
A noiseless passing Of the angel wings,
That in one nighttime recreated all things.

Whilst the President seeks wisely and

honest and sincere nationalism and
unionism through the whole Union,
Morton insists that the North and the
Republican party shall still regard
the Southern States as distinct section
and people, who should be held In sub
iugation and vassalage, and always dis
trusted and watched. And this man
calls himself Republican, an Ameri-
can, an uncompromising enemy to
every form OF slavery, and q cham
pion of the equality OF all men.
His Republication has as Its mali,
principle and policy the virtual serfdom
OF one-half OF the States and people to

NORTON ON THE SOLID SOUTH"

Senator Morton has been relieving
himself OF his always large accumula-
ason of bile by the delivery In Oregon of
wse OF the bitterest bloody shirt
spceches which has been uttered since
ahn war. He went to Oregon to procure
testimony OF bribery and corruption
against the Democratic Senator from
sAst State, and to implicate prominent
Democrats In such transactions. There
wms q most disastrous breakdown Of
aaia investigation. The only traces Of
exHruption led In the direction Of the
Radical party. Hence the vastly in
sHsased disgust and ohagrin of this ex.
Ira bilious and vindiotive partisan. And
nsw he seeks the relief of one OF his
~haracteristic speeches, in diabolic and
sraarrilous abuse Of the South.
The pusillanimity and dishonesty Of
Khase denunciations are as fiagrantly
ssuaspicuous as their vulgar falsity and
Anniishness.
whilst President Hayes is commended
and Endorsed evidently from motive Of
self-interest to preserve his influence,
wsfh the dispenser Of patronage. Of
wAsch Morton absorbs more than his
nxir share, this INSCRIPTIONS sectional
Gs1nsgogue exhausts his vocabulary Of
ahRse OF the States, whose fidelity to
Easaar obligations. and whose manly as
iseg&ion Of their rights have been fully
aprxoyed and Endorsed by the Presi-
szfsk~
No honest man can maintain two such
waaTsngly inconsistent positions. There
san be no more positive and direct an
Aaranism on an essential issue than
aasxs OF Morton and that Of Hayes.
The halter rejects all the charges
made by Morton against the South. re-
amdaates his policy, denounces his Sec
aiDnaa animosities, comedies in the
ARnadest and most practical manner the
Nasiice and honor Of the South's de-
uasnds. and deprecates and renounces
M the sectional jealousies, prejudices
md hates which Morton would preserve
and keep alive as the only capital of the
nazsy VI which he has hitherto been a
Ghsaf.
There can be no half way or middle
gzpund between these two men. They
ase rs opposite as the poles. The one
SAo oommends and applauds the other,
IN view Of this cardinal antagonism,
znnss play the hypocrite.
and Morton performs this role when
- launches against the South denunci-
nssons which Hayes says are unjust and
asnsounded, and thereby he becomes OBJ
anxious to us as an accessory and con-
sussns approver and aSettor. The in
dsorser in politics is liable. as in COM
merne, IN solido, with the drawer.
III Morton is the true representative
and embodiment of the Republican
ssarsy, Hayes is not Of that party. Ii
ahss are both still Of the party, they
YaEwesent two widely separated and dis
snxssant factions thereof. They can
Dessr honestly fight under the same
Banner and in the same solid array.
NoEten still harps upon the dangerous
znssifion and designs of the "solid
szfh." This is the raw bead and
