SELECTED FOB THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
TIE VOICE OF THE TWILIGHT.

1 was sitting alone towards the twilight,
With spi 1T troubled and vexed,
With thoughts that wera morbid and gloom,
And faith that was sadly perplexed.
Some homely work | was doing
For the child of my love and care,
Some stitches half YEARLY setting
In the endless need of repair.
But my thoughts were about the building
The work some day to be tried;
And that only the gold and the silver
And the precious stones should abide.
And remembering my poor efforts,
The wretehed work had done,
And even when trying most truly
The meagre success l had won;
alt is nothing but wood, hay and stubble,"
l said; sit viii sll be burned;
This useless fruit of the talents
One day to be returned.
And have so longed to serve Hin,
And sometimes l know have tried,
But I'm sure when he sees such building
He will never let it abide"
Just then as turned the garment
That no rent should be left behind,
My eye caught an odd little bundle,
Of mending and patchwork combined.
My heart grew suddenly tender
And something blinded my eyes,
With one of those sweet intuihons
That sometimes makes as 50 wise.
Dear childl she wanted to help me
knew twas the best she could do;
But oh what botch she had made it
The grey mismstehing the blue
And yet, can you underst nd it
With tender smile and tear,
And haltcompassionste yesrning,
felt she had grown more dear.
Then a sweet voice broke the silence
And the dear Lord said to me
'Art thou tenderer for the little child,
Than am tender to theeG'
Then straightway knew his meaning
So full of compassion and love,
And my faith came back to its refuge
Like the glad returning dove.
For thought when the Master-builder
Comes down his temple to view,
To see what rents must be mended
And what must be made anew
Perhaps as He looks o'e; the building
He will bring my work to the light;
aud seeing the ma ring and bungGng,
And how far it is all from right,
De viii feel as felt for my darling,
And vii say as l said for her:
" Dear child She wanted to help me
And love for me was the spur"
sand for the true love that is in it
The works shall seem perfect as mine,
And because it was willing service
viii crown it with plaudit divine"
And there in the deepening twilight
seemed to be elasping hand,
And TO fe.l great love constrsining me
Stronger than any command.
Then knew by the thrill Of sweetness
Twas the hand of the Blessed one,
That would tenderly guide and hold me
Till all the labor is done.
SO my thoughts are nevermore gloomy,
Ny faith no longer is dim,
But my heart is stronger and restful,
And mine eyes are unto Him.

There is no morrow. Though before our face
The shadow named so stretches, we alway
Fail to o'er take it, hasten as we may;
God only gives one island inch of space
Betwixt the Eternities, as standing place
Where each may work-the inexorable To-day.

ROSWELL NEWS.

E. Some of our friends were very much
concerned as Smith did not appear in the
last issue. We will inform them that he
thought he had taken the measles but ON
second thought concluded it was only bad
cold which caused the buzzing in the head.
"A curious circumstance happened to
one of the ladies of our village. She heard
IA little chicken screaming and leaning out
of her window with out-stretched hands, a
large hawk flew in with the chicken in its
claws and deposited it almost in the lady $
hands and then flew out again. The little
thing was wholly unhurt and went TO feed

very bad here this spring, but chicken steal

own colored people did not perpetrate the
theft but that it was done by imported
thieves.

The business career of this distinguished
Atlanta merchant happily illustrates the
familiar saying PLUCK will win
After several years Of connection with the
well known Wholesale house Of Silvey &
Dougherty, he withdrew at the beginning
of 1878, having in the meantime accumua-
ted handsome capital. Casting about for
wise investment he soon resolved to in
augurate a large retail store on Peaehtree
street. Many regarded it as hazardous
venture but Mr.. d. having perfected his
arrangements threw open his immense es,
adjustment to the eager and expectant pub
he just one year ago.
1t is needless 10 say that his success has
been complete. He is already well abreast
ofhis leading competitors, Kelly, Ryan and
Others and thoughtful men predict that ne
will soon outstrip the foremost amongst
them. This gratifying result is largely due
to his motto Large sales and small profits. ,
BIT aside from this, his well established
reputation for the strictest integrity in all
his transactions very naturally attracts the
people to him. The discipline of his corps
of clerks is also most admrable-Murphy
Hornady, Beall, Barr. Knox. Lcake and
others, are widely known throughout North
Georgia as polite and attable gentlemen,
and every one of them has a host of friends,
who give their patronage to this first class
establishment. 1t is worth a trip to Atlanta

elegant bazaar We advise our readers

When death our homes would invade.
And by patient forethought and self denial
Among our people a name he has made.
