TIE SUNRISE NKYRR FAILED Us
YET.
By cELIA rHAxrsR.

Upon the sadness of the sea
The sunset broOds regretfully;
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the Wistful afterglOw.
So out of life the splendor dies;
So darken all the happy skies;
So gathers twilight cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn.
And up the East another day
Shall chase the bitter dark away;
What though our eyes with tears be wet
The sunrise never failed us yet.
The blush Of dawn may yet restore
Our light and hope and joy once more
Sad soul, take comfort, nor forget
That sunrise never failed us yet

in conversation with PollysJ ohnson about
ten minutes after the firing of the gun; l
then went home, and met no one on the way

Laws says, "You do not care anything

told him that I cared as much for him
now as ever did. Mrs. Law asked him
to call by and to go to church with her,

A story Of Proctor Knott.

Jones tells good story of Proctor
Knott It will be remembered that in
the fall of 1860. Knott then resided in
Missouri, was elected Att0rnsy-Geueral
on the Claib. jackson ticket. When
Frank Blair seized the State Of Mis-
souri, in 1861, be sent old Col. Born
stein. at the head of two German regi-
ments, from St Louis to take posses
sion of Jefferson City Bernstein was
revolutionist of '48 and a native Of
Hesss-C Cassel At bis approach Claib.
jackson fed to Neosho, accompanied
BY all the State officers except Knott
and one other,
As soon as Bernstein bad established
himselfin possession, with headquarters
at the State House, be sent a corporal
and file Of men to collect those frag-
ments of the State government which
Jackson in his haste bad left behind
The corporal collected our j Proctor
also With the other fragments, and
marched him up to headquarters, where
Bernstein, in full reginentals, with
sword and pistol by bis side, and seated
in the great chair Of the chief justice,
received him.
When Knott was presented to him,
Bernstein began a speech as follows:
"Mr. Addorney Shenoral, der refo-
luton ish now gomblete Der maderial
Of der Shtate gufermint is now in un-
dishpuded possession of der troops of
der United States lam embowered to
enact reorganization of der Shtate
guffermint upon der drue basis o: der
institushions vor vich our forevadsrs
blet and died"
"Allow me to interrupt you, colonel, "
Knott broke in solem0ly.
"Cerdainly." said Bernstein, with
enormous gravity.
II merely desire to conserve the ac-
curacy of history" pursued Knott =
''YOu observe. Colonel. that the context
of your remark would lead to the infer
ence that your forefathers and mine
fought shoulder TO shoulder in that con-
flict. But if you will refer to any re.
liable account of Bennington, Trenton,
or Princeton, you will find them repre-
sented as facing each other on these
fields r'
"GOrboral, replied Bernstein, sadly,
'dhake dot man away eshcort him by
his house we're he lifes. and blace him
under guard till furder orters."
Knott tells me, says Jones, "that
be has never since ventured upon joke
at the expense Of Dutchman. particu-
larly if he was a native Of Hesse- Cas-
sci !"

What will it matter by-and-by
Whether my path below was bright,
Whether it wound through dark or light,
Under gray or golden sky,
When look hack on it, by-and-by?
What viii il matter by-and-by
Whether, upheld, tolled alone,
DashiDg my foot against a stone,
Missing the charge of the angel nigh,
Bidding me think Of the by-and-by7
What will it matter by-and-by
Wheth I with laughing joy went
Down through the years with glad content
Never believing, nay, not
Tears would be sweeter by-and-by?
What will il matter by-and-by
Whether with cheek to cheek Eve lain
Close to my pallid angel, Pain,
Soothing myself through sob and sigh,
"All win be elsewise by-and-by 2"
What will it matter2 Naught, ifI
Only am sure The way We trod,
Gloomy or gladdened, leads TO God,
Questioning not of the how, the why,
If | but reach Him by-and-by
What will care for the unshared sigh,
If, in my fear OF slip or fall,
Closely I've clung to Christ through all,
Mindless how rough the path might lie,
Since he will smooth ii by-and-by7
All it will matter by-and-by

Whether through rack, or smile, or sigh,
