RELIGIOUS.
eeIbath rhe.ehas.

 How kind the gracious God who gives Us one day out of ssvcn. In which to call our thoughts from earth To center them on Heaven. The vailed rounds of toil and care Attract us all the week. How meet and just that on this day We come Gods grace to seek. There are some heuIs of pain and woe We cannot well elude, And even in our brightest skies; The shadows oft intrude. No man can live unto himself, Nor guard himself from ill., And none can turn from death at fast However great his will. We are dependent creatures, then, On Him who gave us breath, And only He can lead us through he silent gates of death. Up to the fairer, grander life, Where joys immortal wait, And only light and love are known No grief, nor pain, nor hate. What say we, then Shall we submit To our Creators will, And trust Him that when life is OCT He'll love and guide us still Or shall we bow before blind fate like flowers before the gale, And trust our life-b0at to the sea With neither ore nor sail A doubtful life, doubtful death? Oh, Lord forbid it 90, We choose to court thy gracious smiles, And thy protection know.

Didn't Match Her Dress.

The Chicago Evening Journal relates the following incident connected with the lenten services in that city:
 Oh ma 1" exclaimed a stylish young Chicago miss on the opening day of lent, "I can't go to service after all, for Eve no prayer-book."
 Why, you have, daughter" said the mother, "where's that costly one gave you Christmas ?''
 "Oh, that one," replied the miss; q couldn't carry that, for it does't match my dress at all"
 And the poor girl had to remain away from the church privileges.

 Towards six the streets are crowded, and Burlington arcade begins to put on it's livsliest face. At eight one goes to dinner, and if there are more men than ladies present you will get away before 11:30. Thus, at this time of the year, the Londener gets along with an infini. tesimal quantity of daylight, and it is lucky for him that he is able to do so, for the sky is hidden by fogs and vapors, and, until one gets used to it, the heavy and somber air fills one with the "blues' and gives rise to dismal presentiments of approaching evil.

PIanaing Corn In Drllis.

Among the Experiments of tue kau- sas agricultural college last year, was one having for it's object to ascertain the relative values of the two methods of planting corn in hills and in drills. Four plats were laid of across portion of the field very uniform as to the char aacter of the soil Each plat contained four rows of corn, the rows being three and half feet apart. In the first plat the corn was planted in drills, in the second in drills after the common fash
