The thiagy 9, o,ss which we grieIed with lashes
Will flash before us out Of life's dark. night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints Of blue,
And we shall see that all Gods plans were right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me:
How when we called, he needed not our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could sec;
And cen Us prudent parents disallow,
Too much of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God perhaps is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it scemeth good,
And if sometimes, commingled with htes WINE
We find the wormwood and rebel and shrink,
BE sure q wiser hand than yours and mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his lace,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father So
But bear your sorrow with obedient grace

Conceals the fairest boon his love can send.
If we could push liar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see

And fof each mystery could find key.
But not to day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, un

We must not tear the closc-shut leaves apart
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.

Where tired feet, with sandals loose, may

DIPHTHERIA AND FILTU.-Not long ago
there occurred at Newport, r T., the deaths
OF six persons in a family of eight, within
fifteen days, all dying of malignant diph-

dangerous disease naturally aroused the at
tcntion OF the authorities, and the Mayor
OF Newport, properly employed Col Geo.
II. Waring, Jr., as Sanitary Engineer, to
examine and report upon the condition of
the premises. From this report We learn
that the cottage is healthfully situated, with
cellar under all of the main portion, but
there is q small additions. one story high
outside of the main foundation this is used
as a rear entrance, and contains a sink and
cr>closot and is only separated from
the rest of the house by thin board
partition. The sink, in frequent use, had

some cause, whether by frost corroson, or
the gnawing Of rats, the lower bend of the

and which was intended to serve as trap,
had broken through, and the deposits of the

to be found near houses, in both city and
