OF our whereabouts; yet without any
evidence OF our being in danger from
any source, only Of the fact .ht we were
away longer than intended, the very
improbable supp,aitiOn was currently
endorsed that VIZ had rgckles,ly yenturcd

ed to hunt us up; who when they found
their work unnecessary were almost an
cry because they could not drown u.s.
However we reached home the bext
day, found that their chiel cause Of anx-
iety arose from the fact that they had
received no papers further than those
noting our arrival in townsend, and
that no directions had been left for the
paper. On the other hand, we cuppOsed
they must be aware of the fact that it
would have been impossible to have
completed our first proposed trip, after
missing the Libby before Thursday OF
last week, there was no possible cause for
anxiety before that date, and had the
Dakota landed ut Townsend on Wednes-
day, we should have reached home on
Thursday. We had been calculating to
be home all this month, were anxious to
include both routes, but when leaving
home did not expect to, and when at
Townsend should have given one up, had
we mot supposed we could include tue
whole without extra time. II had been
so common IL thing for us to go on diff

we would 10 gone longer than anticipa-

Writers of one HYMN.

The fame of many writer's rests on a
single production. Defoe was vOlu-
minous author, but Robinson Crusoe"
is all that has come down to us. "The
Burial of Sir John Moore" has embalm-
ed the memory of the Rev. Charles
Wolf, no less than of the military hero.
1t is so in sacred poetry. Take most
favorite hymns, and you will find their
authors composed nothing else so pop
ular. Their genius seems to have been
exhausted by single effort. Let us
look at few illustrations
"Come, thou Fount of every bless
ing" was the earliest and best perform
ance of Robert Robertson, awakened
under the preaching of Whitefield. He
was unstable, becoming Methodist, In
dependent, Baptist, and finally dying
an avOwed SOcinian, in 1890.
Rock of ages is glorious Christian
lyric and Toplady has left nothing half
so precious. - He began his ministry
among the beautiful hills of Devon, in
1868. Toplady was bitter enough in
dispute, but his spirit lost all its harsh
ness when he tuned the instrument of
sacred song.
Few hymns have been more frequent
ly sung at times of special religious
feeling, than "COme, We sinners, poor
and needy" Its author was Joseph
Hart, born i'll London, I712. He be-
gan life as teacher.
The Rev. Edward Perronet gave to
the church that grand march of the
saints, "All hail the power of Jesus
name" His father was a clergyman of
the English Establishment, but he him
self labored under the patronage of
Lady Huntingdon, who died in 1871.
''Nearer my God to Thee" has prob
ably touched more hearts than any
modern hymn. Sarah Fuller Flower,
it's author, was the younger of two
daughters of Benjamin Flower. In
1884 she was married to Adams, a civil
engineer, and died in I849, at the age
of A. She was buried near Harlow,
Essex.
How many weary pilgrims have been
cheered in passing through the dark
valley by the consolation of "Just as l
am without one plea" Charlotte Ell
lott was an invalid from early years,
and died in 1871. She was third
daughter of Charles Elliott, of Clap
ham, England.

pills. 'sOther worlds than ours" if
reached, would for DR.. Aver only have
meant other little and big planetary
pills and homes for sick Mercurians,
Jupitarians and Saturnarians, who
should cure all diseases with Ayers
pills. That was all the universe inn
piled to DR.. Aver. Mind thus showed,
forced. pressed and crammed into one
idea, at last that idea dominates and
masters the man. Too much pressure
for years of pills and business. No
other thought or occupation to serve as
balance. The regulator gives way.

A Renaissance OF PARSON BROWN
Low.-Andrew johnson and Meredith
p. Gentry were the opposing candidates
for governor of Tennessee in 1855. The
leading organ of the democratic party
of the state at that time was edited by
E. G. Eastman, who possessed happy
faculty of string up the bile of politi-
cal opponents. The contest between
the parties was fierce one, but John
son triumphed. Gentry bowed grace
fully to the will of the people, and re-
tired to his farm in Bedford county.
Two enthusiastic friends, Col. Matt
Martin and Rev. William G. BrownlOw,
soon paid him visit. They tarried
several days, and when they were about
to depart Gentry, taking down Bible
and a hymn book, said: 81 never per-
nit distinguished divine to visit my
house and leave without saying prayers
for the family and neighborhood. =
BrOwnlow, you must pray" The invi-
tation was accepted, and, after chap
ter in the Bible was read and hymn
sung, they all got down upon their
knees. Among the petitions offered by
the eccentric parsOn' was this one ::
MAY the Lord send beam of grace
upon the heart of Andrew johnson and
his man, Eastman" Gentry at once
sprung to his feet and exclaimed in a
loud voice: "Stop, Brewnlow, stop
If that petition is answered, the plan of
salvation will be exhausted, and the
balance of us will be damned!" No
friend of Gentry will doubt the truth of
this.-KnorUille Letter.

The Farmer Financially.

Financially, the farmer is the safest
man in the country. Of I1I2 bankrupts
last year in Massachusetts, only fourteen
were farmers, yet the farming commune
ty numbers full half the population.
The people must live, and while the
use of luxuries may be diminished by
hard times, there will always be call
for the produce of the farm. Farming
has of course felt the general depression
in business. But we are in transition
state, from initiation and extravaganza
to a condition of simple living and
economical expenditures, and state OF
transition is always fuctuating and un-
certain.

Reliaious Reading.
Prayers of Christians Valued by the
Ungodly.

And all the people said unto Samuel,
Pray for thy servants unto the Lord thy
God, that we die not. Sam. II: ~.
Aud Zedekiah the king sent to
the prophet jeremiah, saying, Pray now
unto the Lord our God for us. Jer. 81: 3.
Then answered Simon (the sorceror)
and said, Pray We to the Lord for me,
that none of these things which We have
spoken come upon me. Acts S:24.
Then Pharaoh called for Moses and
Aaron and said . entreat the
Lord your God, that he may take away
from me this death. Elk. 10: 10, IL.
And the king (Jeroboam) answered
and said unto the man of God, Entreat
now the face of the Lord thy God, and
pray for me. Kings ID: 6.
And all the people from the least even
unto the greatest, came near, and said
unto Jeremiah the prophet pray
for us unto the Lord thy God that
the Lord thy God may shew us the way
wherein we may walk, and the thing
that we may do. Jer. AZ: B.
Therefore the people came to Moses,
and said, we have sinned, for we have
spoken against the Lord, and against
thee; pray unto the Lord that he may
take away the serpents from us. And
Moses prayed for the people. Num-

A Story with a Moral.

DR.. j. c. Ayers condition breaches
its warning sermon to the great North
American dO-or-die business man. DR..
Aver went into business for himself be-
fore coming of age. He left even Ben
jamin Franklin's sage business maxims
far behind. He disregarded the pre-
cept, "early to bed and early to rise"
1t was not enough for him. He went
to bed late, and arose early. He work.
ed twenty hours out of the twenty four.
He lived to make money. His devo-
tons were unceasing at the altar of
business. He thought business, talked
business, breathed business, ate bust
ness and dreampt business. He moved
from a small store to large one, and
from that to one larger. He was one
of the representative successful men.
He was pointed out as model of what
could be accomplished by industry, pa
thence and perseverance. He lived ia
the shop and could meyer get out of the
shop. The great globe, with all its
beauty and grandeur, with all it had to
give of thought, association and senti-
ment, was for DR.. Aver but huge pill

Worried to Death.

1t is the worry more than the work
of life that wears one out. 1t is the lit
tie cares and trials that unnerve us.
For great crises we can. grid ourselves
with fortitude, but we are overcome by
trifes. 1t is the gnats and mosquitoes
of life that wear out our patience; it is
the little foxes that spoil the vines. The
irksome duties of the nursery and the
needle are more wearing on both mind
and body than the severest toll. A pa
tient housewife or seamstress deserves
no less honor than the brave soldier.
Alexander the Great was happy IN
the excitement of battle, and III the
tedious march, but when his wars were
over, he is said to have fretted himself
to death because he could not make the
ivy grow in his gardens in Babylon. A
grain of sand under the eyelid, will
often cause more real suffering, than
the amputation of a limb.
The man or weman who has to do
with the smallest tasks, has more I'M
perative call to be heroic, but much less
of inspiration, than one whose years are
passed in tumult and excitement. God
only, and the troubled heart that bears
them. can know how hard it is to en-
dure a never-ending monotOny of little
trials and tasks.
But whether our duties are small OF
great, whether in the sick room OF
nursery, the work shop or the office, IN
every case the secret of happy and
successful life is this: Not to worry
never to worry.
We are to work with a cheerful heart,
and bear our burdens with patience,
trusting in the Lord. The highest form
of manhood is to do the will of God
with childlike trust and diligence, and
let the Lord bear the cares of to-day
and tomorrow. Consider the lily OF
the field-how it bends to the storm,
opens to the sunlight, and rests in the
watchful care of God 1t is refreshed
by showers from above, and the waters
from beneath. 1t waits on Providence
and swings its censor full of sweet in
cense of gratitude. Ii is an emblem OF
peace and IL usefulness, preaching against
worry and sOlicitude, and here is Its
sermon: ''If God so clothe the grass OF
the field, which to-day is and to-mor-
row is cast into the oven, how much
more shall he clothe you, o We of little
faith Prev. d. j. Bmrell, IN Interior
