THE STANDARD.
JULY IL, 1879.
On the Wires.
by SUSAN COOLIDGE.


! stood upon Il lonely hill,
The sun was setting red and bright,
The air was hushed, the air was chill,
And off to left, and off to right,
Like bare trees hung with spidery thread.
Long lines of telegraph We're spread.
The outposts of a mighty host,
They crept and stole across the plain
NoiseleSs and stealthy, each tall post
Reckoning its fellow in the train
To wary movement, swift advance,
And cautious, keen reconnaissance.
did not marked the linked spies,
Each following each i'll endless round;
My gaze sought ont the ctimSOning skies
When suddenly faint, far sound
Fell fom above, ana sTuote my ear,
Like fairy voices, glad and clear.
looked and saw the eIancfne wire,
The little voices came from it,
And up and down, and higher and higher,
They seemed TO dance and speed and fit,
As birds might do in summer boughs,
Rejoicing in their fair, green house
Happy, SO happy were the tones,
hs happy h heats ia, W, were re; spea5kns a5 there
Communion in the upper air.
Sharing the joy l might not see,
| sat and listened smiiingly.
Then silence fell !; and then a, sigh,
And next wall of agony
| Rang overhead and then again
Silence. And then chucllling laugh,
Borne all along The telegraph.
Startled at that wild sound, fed;
| But turned me in my swift escape,
| And in the dusk above my head
| One and another tiny shape
| | Saw-a row of sleeping things,
| With heads safe tucked beneath their wings
| Yes, there they pearched IN downy rest,
| All peacefully and hushed and still;
| While fast beneath each feathered breast
| Pulsed the quick throb of human ill
| The laugh of joy, the wall of woe
And not a bird awoke to know.
| | left them slumbering fearlessly:
| Science with birds has naught akin
| Nor stretches nets from tree to tree
| Which evil news may harbor in
| Wires to speed sorrow on its way.
| Are we more fortunate than they?

Drifting with the Tide.
BY FRANCES WARREN.
< on the shoals we see,

Many a wreck on the shoals we see,
AS along life'S voyage we glide;
They had launched on the wave without an
chor or oar
And drifted along with the tide
Living, and yet with no purpose to gain,
And trusting that others would guide,
They sought but the pleasure the present can
give,
And drifted along with the tide.
Our future awaits US, for evil good
Each one for himself must decide.
Let each firmly stand for truth and the right,
Nor drift with the wind and the tide.
And if we would anchor at last from the storm
At last with the true and the tried
Then steadily row for the evergreen shore.
Nor drift with the wind and the tide.

This SarsapariIIais a combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man

of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eflicacious medicine vet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so etfectual as to Grge out from the
system those impu.; ) and corruptions
which develop into icathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received and as many Of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority Of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained. .

National Evangelical Allfance.1

ST.. LOUIS, Oct. 29.-The national evangelical
alliance met again this morning, with about
twenty delegates present. A paper on "Chris-
tiau Scholarship and the Evangelical Alliance"
was read by Rev. Jas. S. Bush, of Staten
Island, and another on the SUNDAY Question"
by Rev. D. Walsh, of Yale college. At the af-
ternoon session a paper was read on "Christian
Truth and the Periodical Press" by Rev. D.
Craig, Keokuk, and one on "City Missions and
our Foreign Population" by Rev. w. w. Tu-
dor, st. Louis At the nig hit session Rev. J. Il.
Burroughs, Louisville, read paper on liar
mony in Essential Doctrines Promoted by the
Alliance and Rev. T. NJ. King, New York,
read one on christian Morals and the Public
Schools These papers were discussed more
less after being read.
In the afternoon and evening there was
variety of interesting matters, the principal
one OF which was exhaustive papers by Gen.
J. B. Leake of this city, on the necessity of
the protection of law for the Indians. He
made q strong argument for the red men, dep
recating the unkind treatment they receive in
the Justice that is melted out TO them and the
frauds practiced upon them. He declared the
government must abandon its system of pa
rentage, encourage them to mingle in white
society, and obtain protection in the courts.
The Indian should have legal status and be-
come citizen, vested with full rights.
Addresses were made by an Indian, a China
man and a colored man.
Resolutions were adopted requesting the
government to recognize the Indians as citl-
zens and to found numer schools for them.
Adjourned.

are Christ's disciples we must in the world.
if we would be like him, minister in the
world. He spoke of the patient love
of Christ, as in John 1871, where
it says shaving loved His own, He loved
them unto the end" Here he instanced a
lady In Chicago who, wishing to adopt q
child from the Home of the Friendless, had
kept the little girl she took just two weeks,
and in telling how the little one had tried
her during that time, spoke of her scratch
ing matches on the wall. How, said the
preacher, would we have Jared had Gods
patience been SO short lived.
Christ's love besides was a wise love, not
afraid to rebuke evil, but wise in doing so,
as we'll as resolute. 1t was also love to the
unworthy. In this We must follow him, and
only can follow Him if we are in commun-
ion with Him, pervaded by His spirit, exer-
cising Christian charity and dealing with
the fellow members of Christ's family in the
some loving relation as We live with our
brothers and sisters in the flesh.
There are no memories SO bitter as those
memories which bring back the differences
which we have had with our Christian breth-
ron.
This was illustrated by the story of an
old Scotch elder who had dispute with his
minister, and parted in anger with him, one
night, during which the minister died. The
elder stood over his coffin and said, "Oh,
never meant that he should die without be-
ing reconciled." And again by that of g
mother-a Christian mother, but one who
had allowed the love of Christ to grow cold,
and who had hastily said to one of
her children, "Do get out of the way you are
always in the Way." A few NIGHTS afterward
she stood by the bedside of this same child
when she lay at |the point of death when the
little one looked up and said, ''mother will
there be room enough for me in heaven?"
What would not that mother have given to
have been able TO take back that saying? So
We all need Christ's love in our hearts that
In an every day life We may have patience
and gentleness and charity.
Oh that God may give it to US in full
measure during the coming weeks when We
are to labor and pray together for the CONVEX
sion of souls.
The Rev. Mr.. Breed gave the closing
prayer, and, after song, in which the whole
congregation joined in singing:
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
The Rev. L. G. Barnes pronounced the bene-
diction.

The St. Paul GLOBE admits that it would

to go to the devil, provided New York State

there is no great virtue in its concession
