LET THERE BE LIGHT.

For the Journa
LET THERE BE LIGHT.
BY REV. j. II. BEALE, A. VI.
Through heavens clear arch the echoes rang,
As morning stars together sang,
When Nature first from chaos woke,
And on her ear the chorus broke,
Which her Almighty Maker spoke,
"Let there be light
From star to star that watchword flies,
Each shouts it onward through the skies
From out the chaos grim and black
1t speeds along its shining track
Til Earth the echo answers back,
"Let there be light"
So thus may flash the searching light
Through deepest ignorance and night;
And thus the densest cloud be riven
As back the darkness shall be driven
by that command in mercy given,
Let there be light"
The crimson bushes DER the sky
Proclaim the lordly day king nigh.
The hearts of men with rapture thrill
For breaking DER each eastern hill
The old command re-echoes still,
"Let there be light"
When blinded man with trembling stands,
Nor sees, nor knows, that loving hands
Now wait to tear the vail away;
And bring the glorious light OF day;
When they hear the Master say,
"Let there be light

A HORRIBLE story comes to us
from across the water. Some
students at Kief, while walking in
the woods with their professor, dis.
covered the body of girl of Is
hanging to tree. They succeeded
in cutting the rope and applying res
toratives before life was extinct, but
they were interrupted in their hu.
name work by the monks of mon
astery of the Greek Church near by,
who declared that the girl had been
put to death because she was pos
sessed of demon. An investiga.
ton has proved that the child be-
longed to an honorable family, and
that the monks had attempted to
kill her to conceal the fact that one
of their number had debauched her.

A RESIDENT of Phillips County,
Arkansas, writes to the Memphis
Icala,ache that the Democrats of that
county make no secret of their pur-
pose to elect their ticket by bull
Doing. They have organized sew
eral companies, of infantry and
cavalry, numbering in all 700 men,
and in addition have formed an ar
tillery company. They propose to
force the colored men to vote the
Democratic ticket or not allow them
to vote at all. In 1876, the county
gave Hayes 2,e67 votes, and Tilden
$50 votes.

THE strike of the boot and shoe

THE strike of the boot and shoe
makers of Chicago continues.
The employers are in consultation.
Both sides appear to be immovably
stubborn, and the danger is that the
employers will close up their estab-
lisbments, and get all their work
done ia Eastern manufactures. This
would leave about a thousand shoe
makers "out in the cold" The en-
ployers are also considering prop
osition to employChinese shoemakers
whose services are offered them at
very low prices--much too low in
fact.
