POETRY.
TIME RUNS ON.

We see the blossoms brightly glow,
We listen to the brooklet's flow
We hear the gay birds merry call,
We note the blue sky over all;
10 while We say The world Is sweet"
The white frost chills our waiting feet
The babe, now Graded in our arms,
Tomorrow wakes to girlhood's charms;
Anon, a captive maiden stands,
A willing captive In loves bands;
Ere long, q world-worn train await
Their summons through deaths sombre gate.
From flower to fruit Is but day;
From youth to age a swift brief way;
Yet, II we garner fast and we'll,
The ripening harvest who can tell2
For time runs on; yet every hour
Is rich with some God-giyen power.
All up and down the world we see
Lies royal gifts are scattered free;
The patient hand has but to bind
The bOunteous sheaves each year to ind
Earth's green and gold will turn to wheat;
Though time runs on, the world Is sweet.
We may not find the autumn way
Has just the glory Of the May,
And silver head and waningsight
May feel " life's summer was so bright;n
And yet chastened beauty CLOVIS u
Whore full rich lives grow near their close.
The world Is sweet yet time runs on;
And when our songs, our flowers are gone,
Loi others will the sickle WELD
Adown the same bright haryest-feld;
And others watch, on sunny eyes
The reapers bringing home their sheaves.

PROGRESS I'M LIGHTING OUR

| In very old times the Professor began.
people went to bed with the chfokons whom
the sun had set. When they wanted 10 iii
up little later, all the light they knew how
to make was from the blaze Of burning wood
After while some observing old fellow no
ticed that when grease fell into the ere the
blaze became much brighter so he dipped a
rush or reed into oil and SGT one end on fire,
and then rush lights came into fashion. Old
books and songs tell about the farthing rush
lights. They were sold four for penny, and
very dismal illumination they must have
made. Then people began to put oil into
cups. preparing rind of pork 10 set in the
oil for wick, and burned that. The great
feasts of the Romans, in the old classical
heather times, before the birth Of our Saviour.
must have been most dingy affairs. for all
they had for lighting up their tables were
these lamps" And here the Professor put
out all the gas lights, and applied match to
the wick at the end of the little bronze Boman
boat.
It was highly classical and very elegant in
shape but the light it gave was so utterly
dismal that all the company uttered funny
little groan, and handsome old gentleman,
who sat next to me, said
Well, after that specimen of old Roman
brilliancy, am reoonciled to paying my gas
billsu
After this" continued tho Professor,
I" candles were invented. To show you what
the first ones were like, tried to get as bad
one as possible. 1t should evolve or unfurl
the traditional shroud in the light, and DO
afraid, win DO far moro respectable and WE'LL
behaved than the candles Of our ancestors"
Here be lie the candle. and another dismal
groan saluted the forlorn yellow light. It
looks as IL it had lost all its friends. It sput-
tered and guttered talow tears ran down its
greasy sides, and very soon it became--f not
hearted, certainly broken-backed,
tallow candle.
It was not so many years ago. said tho
Professor that candles were in general use,
though greatly improved in quality I; for tho
inventiou--the argand burner or astral lamp
could only be afforded by well-to-do people.
The fame was fed by the oil made from tho
blubber of the sperm whale, which was rath-
or expensive but tho lamp made great inn
proyement in artificial light. Many of us can
remember the astral lamp, which gave soft,
steady, pleasant light under its glass shade,
quite sufficient to render a room of ordinary
size cheerful and cozy. Gas had been dscov-
cred, and utilized in places of business long
before it was introduced into our better
houses; and then II was that petroleum or
kerosene took the place of candles in poorer
localities, and it is still in universal use.
"You may think that there is nothing bet
ter to be desired than gas but IL the ladies
present would consider how this light changes
and Injuries many delicate colors, and how un-
becoming it is, they would rejoice in that
restless spirit of invention that is ever crying
" Excelsior F" and is now using all its re-
sources to bring the exquisitely beautiful,
pure white electric light into common USE

your God acting m such disrespectfnl
manner. How often have we been annoyed
by seeing people lean their heads in their
hands over on back of the pew before them.
Would they go into the house of friend and
conduct themselves in such a manner, yawn
every few moments, look impatiently at the
clock, longing for the time-the moment of
release to come-that they might return home.
Never they would not dream of acting
with so little propriety. Protesting Chris
tian, is all this conduct improper and unbe-
coming in the unconverted ? How then does
it appear in the professor-one who has pro-
fessed to have passed from death unto lifep-
How strong an influence such wrong and sim
full conduct on the part of the professed fol-
lowers of the Cross has upon the world, what
a stumbling block to those who are still walk
ing in the paths of sin. Because processing
Christians do not act in proper manner in
the house of God, they do not always re-
member where they are. Perhaps it may be
the very place where they have been convict
cd of sin, converted and born again, received
the right hand of fellowship and been receiv-
ed into the Church of God below. How Of
ten have we seen even professors laugh and
make sport over the failings of some weak
disciple who, tried in his humble way, to
speak word for his Saviour. Suppose he
does make mistakes and stumbles over his
grammar. The Lord understands it. How
deeply wounded you would feel at a social
gathering, to have some one laugh at some of
your plumbers, and you would not ridicule
anyone in your own house. Then, why in the
house of God Why do and perform acts in
a temple dedicated to the worship of the high
and holy one of Israel, the Father, Son and
Holy Ghost, that you would be ashamed to do
in your own house, or the house of q friend
We take it that acts of worship performed in
o careless, heartlcss, thoughtless manner, is
mockery, silent mockery in the sight of Heav-

profession, merely submitting to the ordinanc-
es of the church, while their hearts arc far

ners to be attentive to strangers. Extend
your hand to the stranger at the close of the
service. Invite him to come again. It is no
excuse for you to say that you do not know
him, have not been introduced. If you saw
him drowning you would not decline helping
him upon such an excuse. He may be lonely,
sorrowful how much kind word will help
him. The rich and poor meet together, the
Lord is the maker of them all, and any two
persons meeting together in a church, are
justified according to Christian ethics and So
cial etiquette, in speaking to enc another up
on the subject of religion" Then, they that
feared the Lord spake often one to another,
and the Lord hearkened and heard il, aud
book of remembrance was written before him
for them that feared the Lord and that
thought upon his name.

ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE Stephen Girard,
of Philadelphia, who founded by his will the
famous college for orphans, in Philadelphia,
was thorough despot in his business rela-
tions. He insisted on undertaking obedience
to all orders. He would retain no one in his
service who ventured to change, for any rea-
son, be it ever so good, his directions.
A captain who had long commanded one Of
his vessels, found cargo unstable at the
port whore his vessel was bound. He heard
of another port where there was a great de-
mand for his cargo, and sailing there on his
own responsibility, secured a profit of fifty
thousand dollars. Congratulating himself on
his good luck, and expecting high praises
from his employer, he made glowing report
of the matter on his return. Mr. Grard lis
tened patiently to the statement, went to the
desk, made out check for five thousand dol
lars, and said :" You are dismissed from my
service. You deserve some reward for this
success but all in my employ must obey or
ders."
Mr.. Girard was right in this instance.
Other captains, emboldened by the success of
this one, might have ventured to dsobey or
ders, ond the consequence would have been
financial ruin. The great merchant was to
sagacious not to see that he could not manage
his own affairs, II a dozen captains in differ.

the responsibility of disobeying his ORDERS
