We shall close this article with two
short quotations from the last session OF
the poem:
"Wben the stormy Ocean with unccasing roar,
Like shouting Titan, thunders on It's Shore
When the hum OF Summer singeth Dusty,
In the storm or murmur, what uoth Na'uFe "a!
Is IL matter crying in its agony?
Is il atoms signing in their harmony
Is IL but the grinding OF untiring wheels?
Is il the rejoicing grateful Nature ieels:
Ask thy soul these questions ana her answer

one.
What doth not change: What is there con-
The laws Of God that vivify the world:
That drive, ycxed matter through increasing
Change,
That mold the CRYSTALS into angles fixed;
That organize with vegetable life.
Forest and field clothing bare ribs oil talrth
With many tinted. fuwcrcmbroldered robes;
That by their impulse ill with vital force
Earth mir and ocean-a prolific brood;
That give TO every atom movement work;
That build each short-liyed age from crumbled
dust ,,
OF all the past: and shape each newborn thing
OF that which hath 80 often been inshaped,
That form is but the garment OF Dame Change,
As often out of fashion and renewed,
As the gay robe OF Il caprcious lady
Each time new toilcted; yet in themselves
Are less immutIblc: their varied actions
New combination Of unyarying powers.
We congratulate our townslnan onth
production OF such an excellent poem,
of which our appreciation increases the
more we read it; and we predict for 1t a
favorable reception by the thoughtful
public. The writer has certainly
genuine poetic talent OF high order;
and i'm this most exalted and difficult
species OF poetry, his success, all things
considered, is remarkable.

The people generally believe that they
have only to accept Christ and they will
be saved; that they can shirk all their
obligations and get a substitute, who
will battle for us against the zoe. Such
il this spirit OF substitution that the
very hymns of the present day show
an Unborn desire to escape our .obllga-
tons and let Christ assume them. No
wonder that the Congress of the United
States, in this very spirit OF substitu-
ton to escape Their moral obligations,
h coined what they call a silver dol,
lar, placed on it ''In God we trust, and
substituted it for our real dollar. 1t is
the same spirit that controls our rclig-
ious affairs. We expect to get fiat sal
walton as well rs fiat money.

thy of his position, and should be re-
placed by a woman. The applause at
this was feeble.
Rev. Geo. II. Hepworth.
II all the money which is at present
in circulation throughout the world
should be evenly distributed to all the
men and women who compose the
world the inequalities complained of
would not lesson. Within a few hours
mans cunning, mans prejudices and
mans vices would change the whole
current of affairs. Those who are pau
pers would lay by their portion; those
who are reckless would spend theirs.
Our vices stand in the way OF possible
equality. Now, the question that is
resting on many thoughtful minds is:
What are some of the causes of this
tidal wave of poverty that has settled
all over this country, and what are some
of the remedies that will check it, If not
altogether stay its progress. Poverty Is
generally caused by want OF thrift IN
the individual, ar a want OF ability or q
want of morality.
CINCINNATI.
Rev. G. II. Daniels.
But this suggests to us, besides the
morality of our city, the political ques-
ton. Men are bemoaning the fact that
all parties are sold to the for
eign vote. Men are leaning back
and saving it no no use TO
vote, no use to be interested in the poll
tics of the city. They are controlled by
rings, by unprincipled men. The city
is given over to them. The School Board,
Board of Public Works, Commissioners,
Mayor, and all under them one made
up of their number and run under their
direction. Patronage not principle
first, policy before right. Such are the
complaints Well it is bad, bad enough
and under such rule must grow worse
But it is not the dangerous spot IN On
cinnati. This is out near the wrecklng
place. Where is thehidden Rock? 1t is
growing near the time when men will
begin to pull the wires for next cleo
ton; not long before primary meetings
will be i'm order. Business men, moral
men, young men, Christian men, think
ing men, take the interest to get hold OF
the wires Yourself and see how they
pull Find the good man in your ward
and fill up that primitive meeting so full
Of honesty, uprightness, and soIidity
that YOU will be the power, and don't
Weld or compromise the right. You
shake your heads and say you won't
succeed. How do you know You won't?
Try it honestly, heartily, every time.
And, mind YOU, if you do not succeed
tbe old shin will not strike quite so hard
against the hidden rock, which rock
is Indifferent to political issues.

A MERCHANTS SUICIDE.
| One or New Brunswick's Leading Citizens
kIlIs Himself with ~ Mor.e Pistol.

The wooded slopes OF the east bank OF the
Raritan river. whore 1t winds through New
Brunswick. affords one OF the most charming
sites for country homes in all New Jersey. A
bridge spans the river at this point, making East
New Brunswick within easy reach OF New
Brunswick proper and the residents OF the
latter city have built on the eastern bank
many elegant villas and country seats Among
the most pleasant and tasteful. although not
pretentious villas. is that Of J. Martin Smith,
one Of New Brunswick's leading merchants an
elder In the Reformed Church and an honored
and respected citizen. who was born and reared
in the vicinity Of New Brunswick. and who shot
himself in his home yesterday
Hardly a stones throw from Mr.. Smiths
house in Adelaide avenue stands the handsome
residence formerly occupied 10y Prof. Garland
the music teacher. who. in fit OF frenzy. shot
his wife and tried to cut his own throat. Jersey
justice refused 10 consider the act that Of an in
sane man. and Garland has Just served two OF
his five years sentence in State Prison.
Across the avenue once lived Col; Short. SUI
perntendent Of the New Brunswick Carpet
Mills. at the time OF the Garland shooting a
prosperous man. Speaking OF the Garland case
on the night after its occurrence. he said. " Any
man who would commit suicide 20 get ont Of

calamties that had overtaken its deni2ens and
when early last spring young Stewart shot his
friend AshmOre on the banks of the river n few
rods from Mr. Smiths. the villagers took il
rather rs matter OF course. and often queried.
Who next"
At about 10 o'clock Yesterday morning Joseph
Bailey. Postmaster Fishers gardener. who was
working in the neld opposite Mr. Smiths place.
heard II pistol shot in the direction OF Mr..
Smiths house. As he looked he heard screams
in the house. and Il minute later Mrs. Smith
and her daughter came 70 the door and called
for help. AS he nenred the house. Mrs. Smith
eellod out, " Bun for doctor quickly Mr.,
Smith Is shot.
Some Of the neighbors soon reached tho
house and on going up stairs found Mr.. Smith
lying on the floor in the front bedroom. BY his
side lay nm old horse pistol, with which he had
shot himself Just below the heart. 1t was evil
dent from his position that had placed himself
before the mirror, by means o! which he had
taken aim. The detection caused by the mir
ror had directed tho aim diagonally down
yard, but the wound was 4, mortal;
in an unconscious condition. DR., JNneway,
who soon arrived made a superficial examina-
tion, and found that a heavy load OF buckshot
was lodged underneHth the heart. Anodynes
were administered to the patient and he slept
quietly until about o'clock. Then he called
1or wi4fr which was glysn- him He closed SJs
eyes again and slept uhtll Ia o'clock, and then
expired without q struggle.
