Mr. MORLEY TO YOUNG MEN.-Sun
day evening of last week Mr. Samuel
Morley. member of Parliament for Bris-
tol. England. addressed large meeting
held in the lecture room of the Rev.
DR.. Halls church, in New York, under
the auspices of the Young Mems Social
and Benevolent Association of that con.
gregation. The address was a CONVEX
sational comment upon general social
topics blended with good advice found
ed upon mature experience. Mr.. Nor
ley urged the young men to work
among the people, and by the practical
evidence of their belief in the Chris
tian precepts to prove to the world that
theirs was no mere verbal profession.
He laid special stress upon temperance
work, and said it was to be regretted in
his English experience that employ ers
did pot eviDce a neighborly and kindly
interest in their employees. Business
men often decline TO speak about relig
ion to those with whom they were
brought in contact, but it could be done
without intrusion, and If carried out in
the proper spirit would be sure to have
a good effect He himself was con-
scious of deficiency in this respect.
He was concerned with large operations,
yet he felt glad at being able to say tn al
he had occasionally found time to have
quiet talks with the young men about
him He hoped the churches would
add their influence in this direction, for
he Was opposed to the general impress
sion that the giving of large amounts
rid men of further obligations.

A STORY BY A RELIGIOUS JOURNAL.

afternoon when a farmer friend of his
came in.
"Mr Editor, I like your paper, but
the times are so hard l can't pay for it. F"
rs that 80, friend Jones? I am very
sorry that you are so hard up. 1 will
give you my paper"
"Oh, no! I can't take it as gift"
"Well, then, let me see how we can
fix it You raise chickens, l believer"
Eyes, a few; but they don't bring
anything hardly"
"Don't they? Neither does NY paper

"All right !" and the farmer chuckled
as he went out at what he thought a
clever bargain. He kept the contract
strictly, and at the end of tho year
found that he had paid about four prices
for his paper He often tells the joke
on himself and says he has never had
the cheek to say he is too poor to take
paper since Christian Mirror.

LITTLE FEET.
In castle hall or cottage homes,
Wherever guilele4s childhood roams,
Oh, there is nothing half so sweet
As busy tread OF little feet.
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
The purling rill, the organs power,
All stir the soul. but none so deep
AS tiny tread of little feet.
When forth we 60 at early morn,
To brave the world and meet its scorn,
Adown the garden walk so neat
We see the prints Of little feet.
At eve. when homeward we repair,
With aching limb and brow Of care,
The voices sing out clear and sweet,
Then comes the rush OF little feet.
The knives are gone. the dishes stray.
The tools are spirited away,
And when we go the lost to seek,
We take the trail of little feet
But when the angel Death hath come,
And c,lls these sweet howerets from oul
home,
Oppressive silence reigns complete;
We miss the sound Of little feet.
Then tools are safe, no dishes stray,
No doors 60 slamming all the day;
But. oh! 'twould give us pleasure sweet
To hear again those noisy feet.
Soft night has come, all are asleep;
Yes, all but me: vigil keep.
Hush. hush, my heart, and cease to beat,
Was that the step of little feet?
Yes. mother twas the softened tread
OF him you miss apd mourn as dead,
And often IN your sweetest sleep,
You'll dream Of hearing little feet.
And when this pilgrimage Is DER,
And you approach that blissful shore,
The first to run your soul to greet,
Will oe your darling's little feet

Sleep, baby. sleep;
Your father tends the sheep;
Your mother shakes the branches small,
Where ripened fruit in showers fall;

Sleep, baby, sleep;
Thy sky is full of sheep;
The stars the lambs OF heaven are.
For whom the Shepherd now doth care;
Sleep, baby. sleep.

The Christ-child was a sheep;
He is Himself the Lamb of God;
The world TO save, to death he trod;

ECONOMY IN FEEDING.-All food be-
vond such amount that is properly dl~
gested and assimilated by the animal Is
source of loss to the owner, and that
in two ways: First, the food is lost +; and
second, the animal is not kept In the
best condition for getting the most out
Of its feed-its stomach is overloaded
and its digestive apparatus more or less
disarranged. Just inside the limits OF
assimilation is the point to have in
view in feeding; in this way the animal
will have good appetite, and, Other
things being equal, is sure to give the
best returns for food consumed.

the feeding should be very carefully

of Virginia can tIuthfuily say, "Thou
canst not shake thy CORY Jocks at me
and say I did it." They worked and
voted 10 save the honor of the State
They were tireless in their efforts in
that beh alf. The great vote which
they polled showed how earnest and ef-

could not turn back the black tide which
Radicalism forced upon US. They could
not resist Federal patronage and north

of the North, faithless to principle, hurl-
ed it's power against us The Federal
Administration gave the weight of its
Influence to crush US. All the worst
elements within the State, with some
good but misled men, were banded to-
getber to defeat the party of intelligence,
property, and virtue. Terrorism, false
mood, and slander were freely used
Never had a party more to contend with
gle. And while they are defeated, they
nave made fight for the right which
must challenge the admiration of the
better classes everywhere who have
viewed the struggle They have done
their part unawed and unseduced, and
their skirts are clean. The blood of
