The Cincinnati Enquirer has an
interview with General B. r. But
Ter in regard to the action Of the
New York bankers in making Q
to put the banks on q
gold basis in case Congress should
remonetize silver. This action was,
in effect, he thought, threat on the
part of the bankers to put them
selves in . position to nullifY the
law of Congress making the silver
dollar q legal tender. To threaten
to do this, or 20 do it, was, in his
opinion, unwise, and the banks will
get lesson that will last them an
entire generation. As to how the
banks should be dealt with, he said,
in substance: Congress chartered,
and can uncharter, End &c would be
the duty OF Congress to tske swsy
the charter of any bank or banks
that enter into any combination "a

LITTLE Boy BLUE.

Z. LITTLE BOY A8AQhs
Under the haystack, little Boy Blue
sleeps with his head on his arm,
While voices OF men ana voices OF maids,
Are calling him over The farm.
Sheep IN the meadows are running wild,
LTWhere poisDnous herbage grows,
Leaving Whiee tufts Of dOWny neeco,
On the ttorns OF the sweet Wild rose
Out In the aeld where the silken corn
Its plumed head mods and bows,
Where golden pumpkins riDen below
Tramp the Whiterfaeed cows ..I.h
Bot no loud blast on the shining horn
Gala back the straying sheep,
And the COWS may wander In hay or corn,
While their keeper lies asleep.
His roguish eyes are-tightly shut,
His dimples are all at rest,
The chubby hand tucked under his head
BY one rosy cheek Is pressed.
Waken him7 no, let down the bars,
And gather the truanb sheep,
. Open the barn yard and drive in the cows,
But let the little boy sleep.
For year after year we can shear the neec.
And corn can always be BoWns ~
But the sleep that visits little Boy Blue
VIII not come when the years are down

benefit of q common school educa-

limit.
The Sunday guest thus describes
an effective instructor: "a good

many kinds of teacher as he has
different natures and characters to
instruct. That is adaptability."

It can scarcely have escaped the atten-
ton of newspaper readers that men who
have committed murder under the most
atrocious circumstances, and who have
generally abandoned lives, are very apt
to express on the scaffold perfect faith In
divine forgiveness, and in blessed I'M
mortality. AS a rule, they are not con-
tent merely to hope for pardon, they feel
sure that they received it; faunt the
declared to be fact in the face of the COM
munity, and rather commisserate the un-
regenerate condition Of the non criminal
people who have been so unfortunate as
never to kill anybody. The thing occurs
so uniformly that one might infer that
the directest road to Heaven through the
murderer's cells that eternal felicity is to
be found only at the end of the hang
mans cord; that the shedding OF inno
cent blood washes away the sins OF homl-
cidal humanity We should not like to
undertake the solution of any theological
problems, but it seems very strange that
a cold. .blooded murderer should even in
his own eyes, have so much better chance
| of salvation than q man of ordinarily ex-
emplary life. Some of the purest and
noblest of men have not been capable OF
dismissing all doubt as to the Great Flu
ture: but your common cutthroat, your
vulgar assassin. gives US to understand,

same things in those of limited incomes,
to satisfy which, sense of right is put
aside and sin committed, and while the
prayer, Lead US not into temptation,
should be on every lip, it seems more
necessary for him of city life and intiu-
ences. But the power of resistance
should grow in pace with surroundings,
and we make no excuse for the sinner on
this ground When Adam eat the apple,
his punishment was none the less be-
cause Eve gave it to him, nor hers be-
cause she was tempted by the serpent
As man thinketh, so is he. If fcovetous-
ness, deceitfulness, untruthfulness, ava
riciousness, have place in a mans heart,
and he allows them to so gain ascendency
over his uprightness and honesty, even
in trifes where opportunities are limited
as in the country, what shall prevent his
allowing them full sweep when city life
puts him in a position to crafty them
Nothing but an awakened sense of right
and justice, which sometimes comes to
save him. If temptations are strong IN

best in the country, but virtue in town.

Somehow or Other.
BIZ z. 8. J

Life has O burden on every ones shoulder
None may escape from, its troubles and care !;
Miss it in youth, and twill come when were
older,
And ft us close as the garments we wear.
Sorrow comes into our lives uninvited,
Robbing our heart of its treasure of song;
Lovers grow cold, and friendships are sighted,
Yet, somehow or other, we worry along.
Everyday toll is an everyday blessing,
Though poverty's cottage and crust we may
share;
Weak is the back on which burdens are press
ing,
But stout is the heart that is strengthened by
prayer.
Somehow or other, the pathway grows brighter,
lust when we mourn there was one to be-
friend,
Hope in the heart makes the burden seem
And, Somehow or other we get to the end.

The Hour of Death.
BY MRS. HEMANS.

But ali for thee, thou Mightiest cf the Earth /!
The banquet has its hour.
Its feverish hour of mirth and song and wine;
There comes a day Tor Griefs overwhelming
A time for sober tears-but all are thine!
Youth and the opening rose
May look like things too glorious to decay,
And smile at thee but thou are not Of those
prey!
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the north winds
And stars to set-but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, Death!
When summer birds from far shall cross the
When autumn's hue shall tinge the golden
But who shall teach us when to look for thee?
Is it when springs first gale
Comes forth to whisper where the vIolets lie?
Is it when roses in our paths grow pale
They have one season-au are ours to die!
Thou are where DfllOWS foam, ta
Thou art where music melts upon the air;
Thou art around us in our peaceful home,
And the world calls us forth-and thou art
therei
Thou art where friend meets friend,
Beneath the shadow of the elm to rest;
Thou art where foe meets foe and trumpets rend
The skies and swords beat down the princely
crest.
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers. to wither at the north WINDS

And stars to set-but all
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, oh, Death!

Faith.
RICHARD MCCARTNEY.

Faith in Jehovah's s Lord,
In Christ-The Perfect Man!
Faith that his holy word
Reveals redemption plan.
Faith in his body broken,
Faith in his life's blood shed,
Remembered in the token
OF wine and broken bread.
Faith in The Searching Grace,
Who shows to me my sin,
Who re-creates place
Where Christ may dwell within.
Faith in Abiding Love
Who will not let me stray;
Faith in a home above.
In bright eternal day.
Faith in a searching hour
That will all thoughts reveal;
Faith in a Judging Power
Whose word is woe or veal.
Faith in Creative Power
Unbounded by behest.
Eternal working hour
The true eternal rest!
Faith that tho worms devour
My hesh-yet shall stand,
By the Redeemer'S power,
In flesh at his right hand.
Faith in The Coming King,
Who all the earth shall own
While all earth's nations bring
Their tribute to his throne!
Faith that all power shall own
The Christ and fore him fall,
Then he'll give up the throne
And God be all in all!
