A little longer on the pillows fosm,-
A few more journeyings in the desert t-darkness,
And then the sunshine of thy Fathers Homel

And thou must call them in with patient love;

And thou must follow them where er they rove.
Not nolo,-for have loved ones sad and weary
Wilt thou not cheer them with kindly smiler
Sick ones, who need thee in their lonely sorrow;
Wilt thou not tend them yet little while?
Not noc,-for wounded hearts are sorsly bleeding
And thou must teach those widow'd hearts to sing
Not nOsV,-fOr orphans tears are thickly falling;
They must be gather'd meath Some sheltering wing

Thy willing hand must be Outstretched and free;
Thy Father hears the mighty cry of anguish,
And gives his answering messages to thee.

FoR THE CENTRAL PREssYrER1AS.
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR THE CHURCH.

How the eyes of thousands Of the devout
Christians of our Church would sparkle, and
how their cheeks would glow with emotion,
if they were credibly informed, that CON-
bination of wealthy gentlemen had pledged
themselves to aid in our benevolent opera
tions, by an annual contribution of twoshun-
dred thousand dollars, as long as it might be
needed. This would perhaps be good thing
for rs, and possibly not so good as We might
at first suppose.
But there is a way by which two hundred
thousand dollars could be realized, if all con-
cerned could be brought to concur in the
plan, without imposing heavy burden upon
any one, and with very moderate degree
of self denial, with undOubted good results,
According to the census of the Southern
Presbyterian Church, as given in the Min
utes of the General Assembly, 1877, we
have of ministers l, ,115, candidates 176, and
of elders and descons s, ,460-msking a totsl
of 9,751. Some Presbyteries failed to re.
port, and there has doubtless been some in
crease since; so that We may safely conclude
that the aggregate is 10000. There are
doubtless, in addition to these, 20, 900 more
of male members-sggregating a male mem
berahip of 10000 This estimate can hard
| ly be too high, as it is only about One-fOurtl
of the whole membership.
Of these we may safely calculate that 20,
600 use tobacco in some form. Don't b
alarmed, reader, l am not going to sugges
even that you stop either chewing or smok
ing; for an well aware how unavailini
such suggestion would be. But this bel

nB- Some curious incidents happen In
the New York Post.ofllce. A short time
ago letter came from Ireland addressed
"My Mother, New York, America" or
course 1t was supposed It must be sent TO
the dead-letter Office; but on the day Of its
arrival woman inquired at the general de-
livery window for letter from cher SON."
The coincidence attracted tho attention of
the official In charge of the decIphering bu-
reau. Inquiry showed that the son of tho
woman lived In the town whose name was
postmarked on the letter. After various
Inquiries the letter was given to the
woman, with the provlso that she should
open 1t there aud 10 was found to be
from her son, and designed for her.
