A LICANY OF PAIN.

Al times, when my pulses are thro bling
with currents whose feverish flow
Sets all the strung spirit a-sObbing
Win nameess, yet passionate woe,
l question with feelings that falter,
murmur with lips that complain:
"What profit to lay on Gods altar
Obligations OF pain?
"Can he, In the infinite gladness
hat Hoods all his being with light,
COmplacently look on the sadness
That dares TO intrude on his sight?
Can he, in his rhythmic creation,
Attunad to the chant of the spheres,
Bear the discord OF means, the vibration
or dOwn-dropping tears?
"Would /, a mere woman, foreseeing :
Some anguish my dearest must face,
Not guard, at the risk Of my being,
lis onset or die In his place?
And yet, can the Father, who loves me
With love that's supremer, foreknow
The soul-wrench impending above me
Nor ward of its woe?"
Be quiet, poor heart! Are the lessons
Lilo sets thee 50 hard to attain
That thou know'st not their p0tentest essence
Lies wrapped In the problem of pain?
Even nature such rudimtnt teaches;
The birth-thr0e presages the breath;
The soul 30 high destined, reaches
Its highest through DEATH
No beaker il brimmed without bruising
The clusters that gladden. the vine:
No gem glitters STAR like, refusing
The rasp that uncOvers its shine;
The diver must dare the commOtiOn
OF pillows above him that swirl,
Erehe from the depths Of the ocean
Can bring up the pearl
And ha who Ia moldIn o. fha snrit
Through disciplines changeful and sore,
That 30 1t be lit to inherit
The marvellous heirship in store
He measures the weight he is pIling,
He tempers the surge with touch,
There'll not be Craze of his fling
Too little, TOO much.
0, heart, canst thou trust him? For sake OF
Attainment the noblest, the best,
Content thee awhile to partake of
These trials 80 wisely impressed;
Nor question Gods goodness, nor falter,
Nor say that thy service is vain,
II he bids thee bring to his altar
Obligations of pain.

to be embarrassing, after they had

And, breaking away from her escort,
Ruth ran away, through the binding
snow and sleet, toward the far-off red
light of the Skinner farmhouse.
Deacon Obed Carey walked silently
back, chewing the end of his own
meditations; and from that moment
to this he has never once alluded to his
matrimonial aspirations and their un-
timely blight. But the next Thanks

tidewater, San Francisco. The brick
building facing deep water in South
San Francisco will be 400 x $50 feet,

salt water supply of 5000 gallons a

March next it will be finished at a cost
of 81, ,250,000. Its yearly capacity will
be 10000 tons of refined sugar. Claus

Last Tuesday morning the down

seugers, Lieut..4evernor Mans
field, Superintendent of Public In
struction Campbell and l.. M.
Holt, editor of the Riverside Press
and Horticulturist. While the
three were in conversation togeth-
or, Mr.. Holt called the attention OF
the others to an account of the trial
of one Of the San Francisco teach
ers by the City Board of Educa-
ton, as published in one of the city
papers. One of the charges against
the teacher was the unsatisfactory
explanation she gave her class of
the following problem: "If q man
lose one.half Of his money and fifty
dollars more, and has ten dollars
left, how much money had he at
first?" 1t appeared that the City
Board had used up several reams
OF paper trying to figure out the
answer to the problem. At this
point the following colloquy took
place: Lieut.-Gov.-'sMr. Camp

"Undoubtedly." Sup't -" How
much money will you have left?"
Lieut.. Gov.-"Gentlemen, 1 have
travelled extensively on this coast
