Let us be patient; God has taken from us
The earthly treasures upon which we
leaned,
That from the feetlng things which lie
Our oiinsins hearts should be forever
wenncd.
They have passed from us, all our broad pos
sessions
Ships, whose white sails flung wide past
distant shores;
Lands, whose rich harvests smiled in the glad
silver and gold and all our boarded storosi
And dearer far, the pleasant home where
Our loved and loving round the blazing
hearth;
Where honorod age on the soft cushions
And childhood played about in frollo
mirth;
Where, underneath the softened light, beat
The. mothers tender glance on daughters
fair,
Rested contented from his daily care
All shipwrecked in one common desolationi
The garden walks by other feet are trOd;
The clingng vines by other fingers tutOred
To fling their shadows DER the grassy sod
While carlJing care and deep humiliation
In tears are mingled with their daily
And the rude blasts we never thought could
Have spent their worst on each defenseless
head.
Let us be cheerful the same sky o'erarches;
Soft rain falls on the evil and the good;
On narrow walls, and through our humber
Gods glorious sunshine pours as rich a
flood.
Faith, hope and love stil in our hearts abid-
May bear their precious fruit in us the
same;
And to the couch of suffering we may carry
If but the "cup Of water In His name.
Let us be thankful, If in this aHlictlon
No grave is open for the loving heart;
And while we bend beneath our Fathers
We yet can mourn, " each family apart"
Shoulder to shoulder let us breast the torrent,
With not one cold reprouch nor angry look
There are some seasons when the heart is
It can no whisper of unkindness brook.
Our life is not all in these brief possessions;
Our home Is not in any pleasant spot:

Then he pulled one out of his pocket

patiently he wrought, while the other
passengers helped him with suggestions
and criticisms. Presently the brake
man came in, and he leaned over the
shoulders of the crowd and looked on
and assisted. BY and by the conductor
came along shouting "tikts,n and he
stopped TO see what was the excite
ment. He pushed his punch in his
pocket, and leaned up with the rest of
the crowd and told the fat passenger
what to do. The excitement ran high,
and half a dozen bitter disputes arose,
which were only quelled by bitterer
ones arising over new points. The
train sped on It's laundering way, and
In due time It slowed up a little and
finally stopped. The conductor looked
up impatiently.

How Kansas Farmer Obtained wife.

A thrifty German farmer in Kansas
wanted second wife. The ladies of
Kansas were unsatisfactory, so he sent
to a friend in Pittsburgh and asked him Z
in a brief, business-like letter to hunt
him up wife in the Smoky City. His
friend happened to be acquainted with
a comely German maiden who was anx-
iOus to be married, and pressed the suit
of the applicant in that quarter. He
sent photograph of the lady
to the Kansas man, who wrote
back that he was entirely satisfied with
her appearance and to send her on by
next train. He inclosed fare for her.
The lady boarded the first train, and
arrived in Kansas several weeks ago.
She was met by the expectant farmer,
and in few hours they were joined in
wedlock. The sequel of the story is
that a day or two since the Pittsburgh
friend, who was driver for gentle
man in this city, received a letter from
the Kansas man, stating that he was so
pleased with his wife that he desired
to reward his friend for securing the
prize for him, lnclosed was deed
for fine tract of land in Kansas, and
the driver has gone out there to settle
down. Pittsburgh (Pd.,) Commercial.

Why She HOrsewhlpped Rim.

The confidence of a young woman in
love is something that ought to be
treated with great tenderness. A
wicked young man of Bethlehem, Pa,
evidently didn't understand this, or he
had no concern about It, for he did a
most shameful thing the other day. He
borrowed dollar of his girl, bought a
couple Of tickets for the show with It
and took another girl. This outrageous
conduct was discovered while the en-
tertainment was in progress and natu-
rally created good deal of excitement
in the mind Of the young woman whose
dollar had gone to furnish an evenings
diversion for another She undertook
to get even by meeting the couple after
the show was over, and eXerted herself
as well as possible to give the young
man a whipping on the Sidewalk. She
suoceededso well she is very confident
he won't want 10 borrow any more Of
her money TO take other girls 20 shows.
The moral of this is that impecunious
young men who must take their girls
out had better try and raise the essen
tial funds at an impartial pawn-shop.-
