CREEDS OF THE BELLS.

oh, no. there is no flaming hell
Said the Universalist bell;
Look up in heaven this holy day,
Attend this church and learn the way;
There are no fires, no friends to blight,
The hope within the heart that's right;
No he'll no helll no hell no hell
Rang out the Universalist bell.
Do well do well do well do well
Said the Unitarian bell
Come here and cast aside your load,
And work your way along the road,
With faith in God and faith in man,
And hope in Christ where hope began
Do welll do we'll do WE'LL do we.
Said the Unitarian bell.
Swell swellI swell swell We waters, swell
Exclaimed, in peals the Baptist bell;
While faith in Christ alone can save,
Man must be plunged beneath the wave,
To show the world unfaltering faith
In what the sacred scripture saith; - .
Swell swell swell swell ye waters, SWELL
Exclaimed, in peals, the Baptist bell
FAREWELL FAREWELL base world. farewelll
Cried out the Presbyterian bell;
Life is a boon, to mortal given.
And there is nothing true but heaven;
Do not provoke the avenging rod
Come here and learn the will Of God;
FAREWELL farewell I base world, farewell!
Cried out the Presbyterian bell
We tell the truth! we tell we tell
Shouted the Methodist bell;
One Lord has made salvation free,
None need be lost on land or sea-
Repent believe, have hope and then,
Be saved, and praise the Lord-AmenI
The truth we tell we telli we tell
Shouted the Methodist bell
Excell excel! in love excel!
Chimed the Episcopallan bell
This is the church-not built on sands
Emblem of one not built with hands;
Its forms, and rules, and rights revere
And worship here;
Excel in faith and works. excel
Chimed the Episcopalian bell.
Look down, ye saints, in heaven that DWELL
Shouted the Roman Catholic bell
Lean DER the battlements of bliss,
And deign to bless a world like this;
Let mortals kneel before the shrine,
Here is the water, here is the wine;
Look down, ye saints, in heaven that DWELL
Exclaimed the Roman Catholic bell.
Der city's streets or hill. side dell
Ring on each heaven-assuring belll

OF Cavalry and Palestine
These paths that lead through earthly dross,
All meet at last beneath the cross
The Christian does not fear the knell,
As angels toll the funeral bell.

But while I was sitting here I heard a
lull, and one of the Irish boys called
out:
"Give US one more, Doherty ! Then

And then, ma'am, she began, quite
low and in faint voice, and very sweet
and she sung:
"Jesus, lover OF my Soul"
She sung in this way, singing louder
now and then:
"Let me to Thy bosom iy
While the billows near roll,
Hide me, o Thou Saviour, hide"
And in the midst of the verse she STOP

women, and the Cap'n said:

was rather glad he called her Nell
just then, for when he got in, wondering
what it all meant, and hushing up the

found her lying turned little on heI

quite dead.

No EsoAPE.-Every condition of life,
be it what it may. has hardships, haz-
ards, pains. We try to escape them;
we pine for sheltered lot, for smooth
path, for cheering friends and unbroken
success.
But Providence ordains storms, disas-
ters, hostilities, suferings; and the
great question whether we shall live to
any purpose or not, whether we shall
grow strong in mind and heart, or be
weak and pitiable, depends on nothing
SO much as on our use of these adverse
circumstances.
Difficulty is the element and resist
ance the true work of man. Self culture
never goes on SO fast as when embarrass-
ed circumstances, unexpected changes of
the times. or other forms of suffering,
instead of disheartening, throw us on
cur inward resources, clear up to US the
great purpose of life and inspire calm
resolution.
Thus all conditions may be pressed
into the service of self-improyement.

about ons.tourteenth the population Of
the State, las nearly ons eighth the entire
property in the State. Her tax duplicate
was nearly a. great as that Of all the other
cities, towns and villages in The State put
together. Some Of the aggregates Of aEti-
cles for taxation are quite interesting.
For instance, 3SS,996 carriages were re-
turned, valued at about fortydollars each.
This 10 about one carriage TO every eight
pessons. Many of these, however, are

about every thirty.ive persons. But the

are 81, 1875 Of them, or about one to every

Ohio produced 2,130.9l0 hogs, only q
small fraction above half "a many as
Chicago packed last season. But the
stock Is SO ine that pigs may be born, fat.
tened to great heavy hogs, killed and
packed all in nine months. This may
happen between the visits Of the Assessor,
and our full capacity for hog producing

the State Auditor. We report nearly

American manufactures are Of pure
cotton, Is free from side g possible; while
all the lower clauses OF goods from Greal
Britain are heavily loaded with size; and
this circumstance, with the smaller cosl
Of production here, has thus far enabled
our manufacturers to puttheir goods on
the China market At \ far lower price,
Hitherto, as one Of the Consuls dryiy re-
marks, "the Chinese have always run after
the cheaper commodity, so long rs Il
possessed sufficient adhesiveness to hold
together under the needle, and not 10 fall
10 pieces in . shower OF rain" But such
a state OF affairs obviously cannot be ex.
pec,ed to continue. Already the Chinese
are beginning to entertain . very natural
prejudice Sgainst the low.priced, bat
really costly rubbish sent TO them from
the Manchester looms and sizing watts, and
the feeling Is operating to diminish the
demand even for medium makes, which
do not merit the suspicion. The inevi-
table result Of the dishonest practices oil
the British manufacturer, II they are
persisted in, will be to brand all their
products, good and bad alike, with an evil
name In the Chinese market and their
American rivals will gain a position from
which It may become impossible to dis
lodge them.

The British Regular Army.

From tho London Daily News.
According to the army estimates Just
submitted to parliament the strength Of
the regular army IL practically the same
as It was last year. The home army is
reduced, while that OF the colonies Is in
creased, andNl e number Of British troops
in India remains as 1t was, namely, at
$4,000 men. Together, for the home and
colonial forces, Mr.. Hardy asks for 1885,.
49, men, against 1920 Lat year; but the
slight increase Ia more than absorbed by
the unusual demands. Of our colonies this
year. Instead of 24,7O0 men which repre-.
scented the colonial army last year, S0,SSS
are now called for, leaving Us at home
with something like 100000 men. We
cannot however, calculate upon this
number as good men and true; for, de-.
Quoting recruits, time.expired men, aud
non.fghtipg soldiers, there would prob
ably remain not more than 10000 ct and
ready TO be drawn up 10 line Of battle.
OF our colonial troops, the Mediterranean
stations minopolize nearly half between
them. The garrison at Gibraltar is rep.
resented by 1891, and that Of Malta, which
has recently been considerably augmen-
ted, fs shown to be 5000. In China, at
Hong Kong, there are 1909 British sold.
isrs, 1t ceylon, 1884, and in the Straits
settlements, 1922. On the west coast Of
Africa there Ia one regiment Of West
Indians distributed between Sierra Leone
and the Gold Coast, the former colony
having a garrison Of 426, while the Gold
Coast and Lagos must be content with
1875. In South Africa there Is a compar.
atiyely large force Of British soldiers Just
now, BY reason olthe Kafir war; indeed,
the garrison Is Just double It's ordinary
strength, or, in other words, amounts TO
8 2i3 men. The island Of ST. Helena IL
held by 11S a%rtillerymen. and that Of
Mauritius by q force Of 562 all told. In
Bermuda there are 2,l46 British troop;
in Halifax, 1881; and throughout the
West Indies about 1000 more. Finally
comes the colony Of FIJI, which Is repre-
pented by the British army in the person
OF one royal engineer, and q man in the
army hospital corps, making 4 total OF
two. Altogether. we are informed, the
home, colonial, and Indian armies are
made up Of SO regiments OF cavalry, $50
batteries Of artillery, AZ companies OF en-.
giueers, 151 battalions Of infantry, and
the army hospital and army service
corps.
