From shore to Shore.

I'm sitting alone in my easy chair' dreanin' of long ago. The shadows of night around me 1"n' "n" '- firelight's fitiul glow | Reminds me that life IS near1y pa0Sou shadowy vale is near, Bnt the ray of hope that lights the gloom + still distinct and clear. Back to the days of my ehildhood-it seems s' like a dream, Scarce can thinkl've been so long anoa' oi life tossing stream; But as memory faintly surges back, along 'h' line can see
 Where friends were wrecked who unfurled the sail on the other shore with me. How oft I have longed for those happy days when sailing long the shore, And not a wave of care or ripple of sin sWep1 it's bosom o'er=;
 When the storm-clouds lowered overhead-tht waves dashed madly by The pillows of sin came swelling up and tht struggle was fierce and high, But my heart t~beat fast as saw each day ole frie ds the sails unfurl, x f Ind fonged to breast the angry wave anG plunge in it's seething whirl. 1 thought the struggle easy one, and feel ing like of scorn
 Passed OCT meas l saw that some put bacl when it threatened storm. But soon I learned What it was to fight, ant how fewecould stand the waves For daily the current carried down scores C weak and willing slaves; And it pained my heart to see that some who's minds were clear and strong Were ahead the van, who should have beer leading the blood-washed throng. Amid the crowd were noble youths who ofte1 would glance at the shore With longing look. as if they would like tc
 try for the goal once more; And maidens fair whose hearts grew faint al
 they thought of the other side. But spurned by all the pure and good, the.
 were drifting down with the tide. And my eyes grew dim as some dear friend
 with weak and careworn heart, Would drop the oars with bitter sigh, ant
 down in the vortex dart; But just as my heart was ready to faint, thes
 words came over the wave :- T acds tempted ip aU things lake as ye are'-
 My grace is saIicientto saue." Soon learned to trust for strength each da. in Him who died for me; And when the pillows came rolling up like al
 overwhelming sea, What joy and peace it brought to my soul t.
 feel that Jesus was near; That angels were there with willing hands t.
 shield me should danger appear. But the tolls and the strug gles are nearly past
 the journey is almost OCT; fancy hear the plash of the waves as the
 break on the golden shore; And I'm only waiting for Jesus to cal, ,-th
 vail to be drawn aside,- Then I'll go and take my place mid the thron,
 who have crossed the surging tide.

Lawns, once smoothly shorn, are like the vineyard of the sluthful man. The ele- gant arrangements for illuminations are seen only in the wrecks of lamps and lamp-posts awry. The costly dwellings,, from which at night issued sounds of mirth and frivolity are now silent as the tomb. Windows and door ways are boarded up, and the rank weeds growing in the dooryards show how seldom the foot of man treads those once gay path ways.

made. Capt. Phillips is thoroughly
identified with the business interests Of
Cairo, and we believe 1t is the wish OF q
large majority OF the business men OF the
city that he shall represent Cairo in this
instance. Besides this, Capt. Phillips Is,
and has been for some time, infeeble
health, and trip to Cuba would be just
the thing for him. Capt. Phillips is the
proper man to represent Cairo interests,
but the question is. will he go: We
hope so.
