OUR LOST.
BY MARGARET L. sANGsTER.

They never quite leave us, our friends who
have passed
Through Sthe shadows of death to the
sunlight above;
A thousand sweet memories are holding
them fast
To the places they blessed with their
presence and love-
The work which they left and the books
which they read
Speak mutely, though still with an elo
quence rare,
And the songs that they sung, and dear
words that they said,
Yet linger and sigh on the desoate air.
And oft when alone, and as oft in the
throng,
Or when evil allures us or sin draweth
nigh,
A whisper comes gently, "Nay, do not the
wrong"
And we feel that our weakness is pitied
on high.
In the dew threaded morn and the opaline
eve,
When the children are merry or Grim
soned with sleep,
We are comforted, even as lonely we
grievc,
For the thought of their rapture forbids
us to weep.
We toll at our tasks in the burden and
heat
OF life's passionate noon. They are
folded in peace.
1t is we'll We rejoice that their heaven
is sweet,
And one day for us all the bitter will
cease
We too will go home DER the river of rest,
AS the strong and the lovely before US
have gone;
Our sun will go down in the beautiful
west,
To rise in the glory that circles the
throne.
Until then we are bound by our love and
cur faith
To the saints who are walking in Para
disc fair;
They have passed beyond sight, at the
touching of death,
But they live, like ourselves, in Gods
infinite care.
From tile Methodist.

In AN ARTICLE ON Music, in
the October atlantic, Richard Grant
White advances the positive judge
ment and statement that musical skill,
culture and taste do not in any way
involve the exercise of the intellectual
or the moral faculties; that they are
Independent of the intellect and the
conscience. There is nothing new in
the statement. Over and over again
has it been urged that music simply
exercises and ministers to sensuous-
ness, and does not depend upon or
strengthen the powers Of the mind or
the functions Of conscience; thus leav.
ing wisdom and virtue to other helps
and guides.

The Danville Register cantains the
following: "Of the comparative guam
tity of this years crop, in the fine to-
hacco region of Virginia and North
Carolina, we cannot now speak with
certainty, though, from the best infor-
nation, we conclude that it is an av-
erage yield-probably not equal in
pounds to that of last year. Of the
quality of the crop we can speak ad-

that of 1877, but even better than any
crop housed for several years.
