WATERING THE HILLS.

He watereth the hills from HIS chambers
Psalms civ. l3.
oh, the ripping and the foamiug,
Failing not from dawn till gloaming,
Where the rapids are descending, as for ages
they have done;
On each downward platform taking
just moments rest, then breaking
Into sweet enchanting laughter ct the gleef full
All the latent echoes waking
With the fun
sweeping from their rocky portal,
ROBBED at once in light immortal.
BI inging infinite revealings from the silence pro-
found;
How the little eldies whiten.
And the longer reaches brighten,
AS the showers OF brilliant dewdrOps their
silvsry slopes rebound;
Falling into gems that tighten
All around.
When the sunbeams come unbidden
To behold the marvel hidden,
All the waters take them captive. to adorn their
ralmept white;
But the rainbow tells the wonder
OF the radiance lying under.
And the sun in regal beauty stoops to claim his
Till the ripples fall asunder-
Lost in light
| On the brink the mosses glisteu,
And the grasses stoop to listen
To the never-endIng music oil the waters flash,
ov.rhead the elm trees stately,
| In their hearts rejoicing greatly
| At the springs Of welcome GOODNESS that be
| meath their strongholds lie,
Spread their myriad leaves sedately
| 10 the sky.
| When at night the stars assemble
In the lar blue heavens, and tremble
At their own reflected splendor, on the torren
borne away,
Then the laughing waves discover
How the moOn-earth'S timid lover
Watches for the perfect mirror they have brok E,
IN their play;
atches with the stars above her

Through all seasons varied phases.

Of the Power tina: sweeps them onward, in thsl

All their rush and tunult guiding,
For each drop path dividing,
Till In far OF breadhs of ocean each Its destipeI

is MISSOURI GOING FORWARD OR
BACKWARD?


1t has been the habit of the repub-
lican papers of lthe state for years,
more particularly of the two leading
republican organs, the GlObe-Dcmo-
crat, of this city, and the Journal, OF
Kansas City, not to allow all oppor-
tunity to pass to assail the state, to
traduce the character of its people, to
represent them as ignorant, stupid
aud fanatical, as either outlaws them
selves or as sympathizers with out
laws, and to direct attention to the
state as re,rograding in population,
as dead III enterprise, aud as all
| isolated and branded community sur
! rounded on every side by vigorous,
growing and prosperous counmuni-
| ties. 1t is not our purpose at this
time to attempt to show what the
4 motive of these two papers IL i'll their
wholesale, sweeping aud indiscrim-
mate abuse and misrepresentation of
the state and its people. Wepropose
first to show that their attacks and
charges are made without provoca-
| ton, that they have no foundation
| to rest Oh, and that they are, in point
of fact false.
| There is q peculiar cunning in the
manner in which these papers make
their attacks that demonstrates con-
clusiveiy that they know they are not
| speaking the truth. They assume
that 1t is the ascendency OF the demo.
cratic party, or, as they express it,
g; the Bourbon stupidity of that party,
! that weighs the state down and pre-.
vents its growth; aud they commence
to date what they call its decadence
from the enfranchlsement of the peo.
pie, the overthrow of the republicans
aud the restored domination of the
democrats, i'll 1870. They canuo,
! safely go back Of 1870, because i
they did the figures OF the census re

pose the falsity of their statement:

because they can't help it. that th'

THE CROSS.

(Quaint though the construction be of the fol-
lowing poem, yet never has the story Of th'
Cross been told with more truthful simplicity:
Blest they who seek
While in their youth
With spirit meek,
The way OF truth.
To them the Sacred Scriptures now display
Christ as the only true and living way;
HIS precious blood on Calvary was given
To make them heirs of endless bliss In heaven
And e'en Oh earth the child of God can trace
The glorious blessings OF his Savior's grace.
For them He bore
HIS Fathers frown;
For them He wore
The Thorny Crown;
Nailed to the CrOss,
Endured Its pain,
That His life's loss
Might be their gain.
Then haste to choose
That better part,
Nor even dare refuse
The Lord thy heart,
Lest He declare,
know you not;''
And deep despair
Forever be your lot.
Now look to Jesus, who on Calvary died.
And trust on Him alone who there was crucltled

BY O. W. Balm.

There she sat rocking her cradle of pine.
To the rude swaying movement keeping tim
By singing low this wild refrain,
How can a heart beat meath this pain?
Long hours will come and hours will go;
Move faster, cradle-tlrue more slow.
One sleeps tonight in feon's cell:
My daughter. Is where? dare not tell.
The only one who gives me no care
Is sleeping in the potter's icld, there.
Sleep, my babe, SO innocent now,
Ringlets clustering o'er baby brow;
Dream of angels. dream of heaven,
Dreams may be all of good we're given.
Pm weary Of watching. Pm tired of strife.
Pm weary OF being q drunkard's vile;
Hush. my child, sleep on forever,
Wake In this world OF misery never.
For oh. you are a flrunkard's child,
Friends tell 1t me till near grow wild;
Whispering demons are round my door,
Waiting and watching for this one more.
