For the VINDICATOR,
FOR MY CHILDREN.
'Tis Late, ...'Tis Time to 60 Home.
BY W. G. !.

Tho day is we'll worn, and the night hour
is near,
The shadows of twilight are spreading
their gloom,
All is dark, that was once, 50 bright and
fair,
Something whispers, "Tis late, 'Tis time
to go home.
I would not a tear drop should fall when
go,
l would not a sigh should be heayed at
my tomb,
For why should sigh, or tear drop e'er
flow, 4.
When the cold hour comes, IT'S time to
70 home.
Beyond the bright skies, there is rest,
there il rest,
And III yield, whenever the summons
shall come,
For why should stay from the realms Of
the blest'
When the message arrives, IT'S time to go
home.
On this sides river, all dreary and dark,
On the other, are flowers, forever in bloom
Tho the waters be chill, III not fear to
embark,
For dear ones await me, 'Tis time to 60
home.
Short, short is the path, from the cross,
to the crown,
And DER that short path, there's light
to illume,
And when death shall come with its chill
and its frOwn,
1t is but message, IT'S time to 60 home
Tho Il walk thro' the valley and shadow
Of DEATH"
l know that the cross, gave the grave its
perfume,
Aud the death chill's whisper of mercy
that saith,
That "All things are ready" IT'S time tt
60 home.
Adieu to the joys, and the pleasures O.

Dear again to my heart-they cannot be

THE OLD COAT OF GRAY.

It lies there alone; it is rusted and faded,
With a patch on the elbow, hole in
the side;
But we think Of the brave boy that wore
it, and ever
Look on it with pleasure, and touch it
with pride,
A history clings to it over and over
We see proud youth hurried on to the
fray,
With bis torn like the oak, and bis eye
like the eagles;
How CALAMITY he rode in the ranks Of
"the gray"
It is rough, it is worn, it is tattered in
places, :.
But t love it more for the story it
bears
A story of courage in struggle with sor'
! row..
And heart that bore bravely its bur-
den of cares;
It is ragged and dusty, but ah it wa
shining
In silkiest sheen when he wore it away
And his smile was as bright as the glaa
summer morning
When he sprung to bis place in thu

The Drink Appetite.

MIR. Cough tells me that even the
smell Of brandy Ia purely physical
sensation) would arouse the demon OF
desire for drink in his own frame. Mr..
Cough has been a sturdy, praying
Christian for over thirty years. Once
during his Christian life he was wick
eddy "drugged" in a soda-shop in
New York, and under the mania of
his aroused appetite he drank like
beast for several days. During the
awful suspense attending his disap-
pearance, I said to DR.. Hodge Cat
Princeton): MY hope for my friend
Cough Is that he is a child of God,
and therefore has not gone back to
his cups" "Ahl" replied DR.. Hodge,
with shake Of his head, "a drunk
ards appetite for drink is often dis
ease, mania, that Gods grace does
not reach any more than it does fe-
yer or fit Of insanity" Mr.. Cough,
furthermore, told me lately that sew
eral inebriates who had loudly pro-
claimed that conversion had extin-
guished their appetite" have gone
back to their old debaucheries. A
friend Of mine often told Us in our
church er-meetings that the
"grace OF Jesus Christ had taken
away his appetite for drink entirely"
That poor man, after two years Of
Christian sobriety, went back to his
cups, and died last year of delirium
tremensl I could multiply these
painful examples by the score. What
is their meaning? Do they mean
that no drunkard can conquer his old
appetite by reliance on Divine grace?
No; but they do prove that to con-
quer or successfully resist an appe-
tite is one thing, and to have that
appetite entirely obliterated is an en-
tirely different thing. God gave Paul
the grace to fight down his lusts, but
God never took physical lusts so en-
tirely out Of Paul that he had nothing
left to fight. Precisely 50 does God
impart to a truly converted inebriate
the Divine strength to keep under"
a depraved lust for alcohol. This is
the "drupkard's greatest hope"-nay,
his only hope. But let the converted
man beware how he falls into the
dangerous delusion that his old ene-
my is entirely dead, and dead for
ever. have been betrayed into this
length and warmth Of discussion be-
cause the subject is one of vital mo-
msnt, and good men are easily caught
by a plausible theory. The simple,
solemn truth Is that but few genuine
drunkards are ever permanently re-
formed, and that is an overwhelming
argument for total abstinence from
the start. God never intended that
when a man wantonly throws himself
into the rapids he should have an
easy time in swimming ashore from
the cataract.-T. L. Cttyler, in N. Y.
Evangelist.

Keep Your Eye on the Wash Tub.

When a lad only ten years old,
Isaac Johnson, OF Port Penn, Della
ware. while enriching his youthful
mind with treasures from Shakspear,
read the words, There is a tide in
the affairs of men which taken at the
flood leads on to fortune" Startled
with the announcement and fearing
he might not have read Alright he
perused the lines again and then
threw the book aside. Looking
stealthly around him and finding
himself unobserved, lie cast his eye
on the placid Delaware. 1t was high
tide. He not only loved the immor-
tai dramatic author, but believed in
his utterances with unquestioning
faith.
The family wash-tub was leaning
In the shade against the house, just
where the hands of the doting mother
had placed 1t when the duties OF the
last wash-day were ended. Here
was his opportunity to test the accu-
racy Of the predictions Of his favorite
author. Picking the novel boat up
as II 1t were a mere toy he ran to
the river. and. having launched it,
he stepped on board his frail bark
and committed himself to the mercy
of the wind and tide. He drifted
down until he reached the bay, where
he was picked up by the bark Henry
Roung. under command Of Captain
John Hall, was taken to the City Of
Mexico. He was adopted by a
wealthy Spaniard. named Don Hid
alog Hernandez, given a luxurious
home and the advantages Of liberal
education. At the close Of his edu-
cational training his foster father
established him in business. and
young Johnson began to realize more
forcibly than ever the truth Of the
theory he had started out to demon
strate. but being "a strong supporter
Of Macmillan /. he had to escape to
Texas. When the civil war in our
country began he cast In his lot with
the confederates and entered the
service as aid-de-camp to General
Sidney Johnson. Peace being de-
clared, he engaged in an extensive
shoe manufacturing business In this
city, but here the tide turned against
him, and through the dishonesty OF
his partners he was reduced to pow
erty and compelled to return to his
native town, from which he had en-
barked when boy. The tide how
ever, which swept away the fortune
OF former years, in returning to its
flood has brought to the hero OF an
eventful life a fortune of $4,000.
or this sum 100000 Is in United
States bonds, and the remaining
$50,0 900 consists in property located
In the City Of Mexico. 1t is not I'M
likely that hereafter the Delaware
will be dotted with washtubs con-
tanning ten-year-old boys, praying
that the tide may "lead them on to
fortune. "-Philadelphia Ledger.

A good writer, who gets things
down fine, can put several thousand
words on a postal card, and the cost
is cent; but II he pastes a printed
slip, containing a single word, on the
card, the expense Is six cents-one
paid for the card and the other five
collected from the card receiver; yet
IL words are printed on the card itself
1t is ali right. II a person paste a
printed slip on card the size OF a

"sThey Say"

"They say! Ali Well suppose they do;
Rut can they prove this story true?
Suspicious may arise from naught
But malice, envy, want of thought,
Why count yourself among the ''they'
Who whisper what they dare not say7
''They sayr' But why the tale rehearse,
And help to make the matter worse?
No good can possibly accrue
From telling what may be untrue;
And is it not nobler plan
To speak of all the best you can?
'aThey say!" Well, II IL should be 80,
Why need You tell the tale of woe7
VIII il the bitter wrong redress,
Or make the pang of sorrow less?
VIII IL the erring one restore
Henceforth to go and sin no more!'
They sayr' Oh, pause and look within!
See how the heart inclines to sin;
Watch, lest in temptations hour
Thou, too, shouldst sink beneath its power.
Pity the frail, weep DER their fall,
But speak of good or not at ali.

A Successful Flying Machine.

The Scientific american has a full
account OF the open air exhibition of
the newly invented flying machine OF
Prot G. F Ritchell, at Hartford, Conn,
on the 18th and 18th inst. One the
first trial the machine, which weighs
Ia pounds, went vp to a height OF
fully two hundred and fifty feet, past
the spire of the Colt Memorial church
and sailed over until over the Con-
necticut river, the operator mean
while exhibiting bis power to change
its direction and altitude at will
When he assembled there was but lit
tie wind blowing, and the machine APP
peared under perfect control, but
gradually breeze sprang up, and it
Ii was deemed safest to make
speedy return, as there were indica-
tons in the sky OF gathering storm.
The machine turned and made its way
back In the teeth Of the wind until it
was directly over the ball ground it
had assembled from and there alight-
ed only few feet from the place of
its departure.
On the second trial, some time was
spent In getting the weight and lift
ing power SO neatly balanced as to
show that the machine had lifting
power Of it's own. When this had been
effected to Prof. Ritchells satisfac-
ton, the apparatus rested quietly up
on the grass, but could be- lifted or
set back with light pressure OF
finger. When the word was given to
"Go!" the operator, Quinlan, weigh.
ing 96 pounds, began turning the
wheel, the horizontal fan revolved
with noise like buzz saw. and the
machine darted up almost vertically
to a height OF about two hundred feet.
There a strong, steady wind setting
toward the southwest was encounter
ed, and the machine was swept broad
side on to the spectators. Then the
operator was seen throwing his verti-
cal fan into gear, and by its aid the
aerial ship turned round, pointing its
head in whatever direction he chose
to have 1t. All this was the work OF
a few seconds. Although Quinlan
could move the apparatus about, he
could not make any Roadway against
the strong wind. Reversing the mo-
motion OF the horizontal fan, he de-
scended apparently about one hun
dred feet, to get out Of the current,
but, finding that impracticable, rea-
scended to a much greater height
than he had first reached. Still he
was swept of towards New Haven
and soon was out Of sight. He had
vanished behind a distant hill and for
awhile it was supposed he had alight
ed. Then he was again sighted, far
away and not less than a thousand
feet above the earth. The cylinder
Of the machine looked no larger than
an orange. AT length he disappeared
altogether. At 6 o'clock p. M, hav-
ing been up battling with the wind
for nearly an hour, he safely ascend
ed at Newington, and at 10 o'clock
was back in Hartford. He said at one
time he was eight or ten miles from
his starting point, but by lacking and
working between the gusts Of wind,
won his way back as far as Newing-
ton only five miles from Hartford. He
says that the working of the machine
is so easy that he could continue 1t
for four consecutive hours, without
fatigue, In quiet atmosphere.

Complaints are still made, even
among the Baptists, that Northern
teachers in the South are ignored
and ostracised. The teachers in Lee
land University, for instance, a
school Of the American Baptist Home
Mission Society, are not admitted to
Baptist society in New Orleans, and
this not withstanding the fact that
the last Southern Baptist Convention
adopted report approving the edu-
cational work among the freedmen.
The Presbyterian Board Of Foreign
Missions issues an appeal to the
Church, stating that there is debt
of 81, 900 which, with the estimates
Of the missionaries, makes the whole
sum required $553,0OO. This amount
the Board has cut down to $476, 900,
which involves serious restriction
of the work." which had rather to be
enlarged. The Board asks the
churches to increase their contribu-
tons 80 that the salaries, at least, Of
the missionaries, may remain undi-
minished.

At Newport, r. l., quite a revival
has been in progress during the win
ter in which representatives OF the
Catholic, Methodist, Episcopalian,
Unitarian and Baptist bodies have con-
fessed their faith among the Friends.
Singularly enough in this work, the
members of the society have broken
loose from many of their peculiar
customs, and have allowed singing
and free and full conference upon
the subject of religion. the meetings
In many instances resembling those
peculiar to the Methodist denomina-
tion.-Er.
There was bit OF sharp shooting
the other evening in a Methodist
Church in Tennessee. The pastor,
who served in the war was a Union
soldier, suffered in battle the loss of
an eye. He was speaking in prayer
meeting on the glories OF heaven, and
an ex-Confederate chimed in saying:
"Yes, brother there will be no one
eyed saints In glory" The pastor re-
piled. That's so; for there will be no
rebels there so shoot their eyes out"
Theirs was no response Of "Gloy; hal
lelujah" on the part of the ex-Confed-
crate.
