Knocking, knocking, ever knocking!
Who is there?
'TiS pilgrim, strange and kingly,
Never such was seen before;
All, sweet soul, for such a wonder
Undo the door.
No, that door is hard to open
Hinges rusty, latch is broken
Bid him go.
Wherefore, with that knocking dreary,
Scarce the sleep from one so weary
Say him no.
Knocking knocking, ever knocking!
What! Still there?
Oh, sweet soul, but once behold him,
With the glory-crowned hair;
And those eyes, so strange and tender,
Open! Open ! Once behold him
Him SO fair.
All, that door! Why wilt thou yex me,
Coming ever to perplex me?
For the key is stiffiy rusty
And the bolt is clogged and dusty;
Many fingered ivy vine
Seals it fast with twist and twine;
Weeds of years and years before
Choke the passage of that door.
Knocking knockingl What! still knocking
He still there?
What's the hour? The night is waning,
In my heart a drear complaining
And chilly, sad unrest,
An, this knocking! 1t disturbs me,
Scares my sleep with dreams unblest
Give me rest,
ReSt-ah, rest!
Rest, dear soul, he longs to give thee.
Thou hast only dreamed of pleasure,
Dreamed of gift and golden treasure,
Dreamed of jewels in thy keeping,
Walked to WEAKNESS of weeping,
Open to my souls one Lover,
And thy night of dreams is over;
Tie true gifts he brings have seeming
More than all thy faded dreaming!

who deserves successF only helmade a
grand mistake in planting corn.
On this principle precisely educated men,
who are now without employment, find it
very difficult to get into lucrative situa-
tions, because there is glut in the mar
ket an awful glut: the distress in conse-
quence is fearful, and many must suffer
while the reaction takes place-the tide
ebbs and fows-and men and women
learn to do that work which the market
demands.
Society has far more just ground to
complain of this we'll educated man, and
others like him, than they have to COM
plain of society. 1t is the law of Christ
that we should help one another, and the
Church, as well as the State, does her full
measure of this when she offers for the
suffering poor the refuge of her hospita-
BILE homes, where the sick, the aged, and
the unfortunate may rest. But it is no
part of Christian duty to say to any man,
do what you like best to do, and if you
don't succeed we will take care of you. !"
Society says too much of this now. The
great vice of our system of charity is that
it fosters mendicancy and ldleness, and
so vice, and misery, and ruin, temporal
and eternal. Men must work to deserve
anything to eat. And to earn bread
they must do the work that is wanted,
and be able to do it well 1t is very
good thing to know how to read and
write, and talk French, and translate
Greek, but when no one of these accom-
plishments is required. whose fault is it
that you spent all your early life in be-
coming an educated man, and now can
not do the first thing that you are wanted
to do, and for which you would be we'll
paid?
One word more. These are exception
ally hard times. Business is dull. There
is small demand for extra labor of any
kind We must be patient And pa
tience implies suffering. We shall 60
through deeper waters before we get on
firm ground. Let US not complain one
of another, but with faith, hope. and mu-
tual sympathy, help one another all we
can, and wait for the morning.

Rain in the Heart.

[The following lines were found by Confed
crate soldier in a deserted house on the PENN
sula, Virginia.1
"Into each life some rain must fall.'
If this were all-ohi if this were all
That into each life some rain must fall,
There were fainter sobs in the poets rhyme,
There were fewer wrecks on the shores of time
But tempeStS of woe pass over the soul
Since winds of anguish we cannot control;
And shock after shock we are called TO bear,
Till the lips are whitewith the hearts despair.
The shores of time with wrecks are strewn,
Into the ear comes ever moan,
Wrecks of hopes, that set sail with glee,
Wrecks of love, sinking silently.
Many are hidden from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deep they lie;
Only God heard when arose the prayer
"Help me to bear !-oh help me to bear"
"1nto each life some rain must fall"
If this were all-oh if this were all
Yet there's refuge from storm and blast,
Gloria patri will reach it at last.
Be strong, be strong, TO my heart cry,
The pearl in the wounded shell doth lie;
Days of sunshine are gdUe1l to all,
Though into each life some rain must fall.

We don't know that any man ever
owned an umbrella for two years. That
is, the same one. If there is any such
man in this country, we should be
pleased to recei,e his address, not neces-
sarily for publication, but merely as a
guarantee of good faith. We think he
would be curiosity, and would, further
more, be quite an acquisition to some
travelling show. Besides, we should like

One of the excuses which are frequent
ly made for the Presidents failure to full
fill his promises in regard to civil service
reform is that he has done the best he
could considering the character of Con-
gress, and particularly of the Senate.
The Providence Press, for instance, says:
"Who wants the end must also allow the
means. If we want a real and permanent
system of purified civil service, Presi-
dent like Mr.. Hayes is all that can be
asked for while a Congress like the pres
ent is at best an obstacle in the way to
Improvement" This is nonsense. The
present Senate gave Mr.. Hayes his Cabi-
net, just as he asked it. not because it
liked the men, but because popular opin-
ion compelled it to do so. Had the Pres
ident retained the support of the people,
he could have forced any other appoint
ments conspicuously fit that he chose to
make, and he could have retained that
support by the simplest possible means,
viz: by deserving it. Certainly it was
not the Senate which compelled the
President to put time serving machine
politician in the Collectors place in this
City. 1t is not the Senate and it is not
the people which can be said to be in
triguing for the displacement of Post
master James-an intrigue which its au-
thors believe find favor with the Presi-
dent. The change in the Collectorship
was purely machine" manevre, no
more prompted by desire for reform
than the massacre of the innocents was
prompted by desire to extend the
Christian religion. And should the Pres
ident lend himself to the movement to
replace Mr.. James by the man who has
been named in this connection, he would
forfeit every shadow of claim to respect
by the decent portion of this community.

Postmaster General Key passed through
doocid rough on the hospitality of Post
master Eddy. In Cleveland both the
Postmaster and Member of Congress uni
ted their forces and gave the old man a
reception and ride in hack around the
corporation There was no display of
bunting, as not single rebel flag could
be found in the city. Postmaster Eddy,
however, could have done better than
this. In the relic room of the Court
House is a rebel hag-the stars and bars
of Tennessee Regiment, captured at
Nashville by the lllth o. V. /. With
this flag, flying from the poop deck of a
hack, Postmaster Eddy should have met
the Postmaster General at the depot and
driven him around the city. 1t would
have been an excellent idea, also, to have
secured a necklace Of that mules jaw
bones, (now in the relic room) which
Lieutenant James Timmons cut into
trinkets while in Andersonville prison
pen, and worn it around his neck A
movement of this kind would have made
our Postmaster solid with the rebel Post
master General Toledo Sunday Jour

This liniment very naturally originated in Amerl-
ca, where Nature provides in her laboratory such
surprising antidotes for the maadies of her chill
dren. Its fame has been spreading for S5 years,
until now it encirclcs the habtable globe.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment is matchless
remedy for all external ailments of man and beast.
To stock owners and farmers it is invaluable.
A single bottle often saves q human life or re-
stores the usefulness of excellent horse OK,
COW, or sheep.
1t cures foot-rot, hoofail, hollow horn, grub,
screw-worrn shoulder-rot, mango, the bites and
sings Of poisonous reptiles and insects, and every
such drawback to stock breeding and bush life.
1t cures every external trouble of horses, such
as lameness, scratches syvinny, sprains, founder,
wind gall, ring bone, "-c.- etc.
The Mexican Mustang Liniment is the quickest
cure in the world for accidents occurring in the
family, in the absence of a physician, such as
burns scalds, sprains, cuts, ETC., and for rheuma
tism, and stiffness cngendered by exposure. Par
ticularly valuable to Miners.
1t is the cheapest remedy in the world, for it
penetrates the muscle to the bone, and single
application Is generally sufficient to cure.
Mexican Mustang Lniment is put up in three
sizes of bottles the larger ones being proportion
ately much the cheapest. Sold everywhere.
