IN THE CLOUDS.


III cARnus v. SHAW.
In d downward arch Of the clouds,
That was rocked on the billowy air,
A Gilyer-white star lay alone
Like an innocent little one there.
Like glorious sonl that is free,
1t lay in its beauty Of white,
hsleep IN lis cradle of clouds
That was rocked on the bosom OF night
Like a snowy-robed infant asleep,
ora soul Of the glorious dead,
il state lay the glimmering star,
All alone on its cradle-like bed.
Thin curtains of misty-like blue,
Trimmed in White, tilny cloud lace,
We're drawn from the cradle aside,
Where zephyr inst held them in place.
Then slow, as the picture dissolved,
A white arm reached out in the blue,
Afd beautiful fancy was mine,
AZ my eyes grew all dim with the dew.
thought, whon cur Father shall find
TIs silent in, DEATHS chilly sleep,
with strange, smiling eyes looking MP

He VIII look on our folly and sim
Tired children, who will not awake
And pardon with pitying tears,
For oar innocent babyhood's sake.
And with souls grown spotlees as then,
With the laces Of mists for our shronds,
He will take up His poor, weary babes,
And rock us to sleep III the clouds.

simnIe Lnngnnge IN Sermons.

In addressing the multitude, simple
ity of language is always highly desir
able, there being the danger Of the un-
learned attaching very different (and
sometimes very awkward) meanings TO
the grand and uncommon words which
even careful clergymen may be betrayed
into using in the pulpit. One Of those,
when in lis study and in the act Of COM
posing sermon, made use Of the term
ostentatious man" Throwing down
his pen, he wished to satisfy himself,
ere lie proceeded, as TO whether great
portion Of his congregation might COM
prehend the meaning Of the said term,
and adopted the following method OF
proof. Ringing the bell, his footman
appeared, and was thus addressed by his
master 'What do you conceive to be
implied by an ostentatious man 2" An
ostentatious man, sir ?" said Thomas.
Why, sir, should say perfect gem
tleman. +" Every good, said the Vicar.
"Send Ellis This coachmanl here. eel
lis. asked the Vicar, "what do you inn
apine an ostentatious man to be2" " An
ostentatious man, sir?" replied Ellis,
"Why, / should say an ostentatious man

ence--a - jolly good fellow" 1t need
scarcely be told that the Vicar substi

WHERE THE o X WAS.

On a Michigan Central train the other day wa
a passenger who had lost his right arm. Soon az
ter the train pulled out Of Detroit, he began talk.
Ing with those around him in regard to the polit.
ical candidates, claiming to have served under
both. This led to some one asking him how and
where he lost his arm, and he replied:
1T was down in the Wilderness. We were
charging the enemy's line. A bullet struck my
arm, crushed the bone, and I fell unconscious.
When l was restored to consciousness, l was in
the hands of the Coniederates. Indeed, a soldier
was going through my pockets. When he found
that l was alive he was about TO bayonet me, but
q corporal sprsng forward, knocked the wretch
down and saved my life"
While he was telling this a man with his left
arm gone had risen from his seat and cant near
err, and as the other finished he bent forward and
said:
~ am that very Corporal! remember the ia.
ctdent as If it had happened only yesterday. I
had you conveyed to an old log barn over on the
right"
Yes, yes-let us shake hands, let us embraced
