Poor Sergeant Bates.

Sergeant Bates has been heard from.
He is living In Il retired village in
Illinois, poor and helpless. The reporter
calls HIM ga retired crank -" crank"
being the latest slang for semi-lunatic-
and says he is dilapidated and torn down
to the last degree. He continually
dwells on the flag business and he never
seems to tire of talking of his trips
through the South and England. L.
seems almost impossible to conceive now
what fatrore was excited in some parts
of England by the appearance of Bates
carrying an Americanhag. So enthusiast
tic and excited were the populace of
London that when Bates appeared upon
the scene they seemed to lose all control
over themselves. The horses of the
sergeant's carriage were unhitched and
ropes and handkerchief brought into
requisition in order that the Britons
might themselves drag the crazy youth
through the principal streets of the great
city. To Bates it was proud day. But
alas in few short months he sank into
obscurity, at the same time coming to
the conclusion that the ag-carrying
business financially could not be called a
great success.

Thy latticed window open wide
Lets in the summer breeze
The sweets of jasmine and of rose
The sigh of leaf-crowned trees.
All summer souuds-all scents of June,
Are welcome all day long
Ii all OF these may entrance find,
Dear love, why not my song?
Thy hand is ever open, sweet,
To succor others woes
what gifts thou givest to their need,
But God and thou may know.
And suppliants for thy charity
Unanswered never stand
Thou givest them all that hand can give
Why not give me the hand?
In thy pure heart the poor find room,
And all who suffer, sweet,
Whatever cause has smitten them.
Alb, then, how much more meet
TO succor me, whom thou hast hurt.
Thy heart to these is true, E.
And to that heart they find a way-
All let me find one, too. 8.r

Another Person Cured by PRAYER.

tFreeport QN.) Dispatch to Cincinnati Gazette.l
Some time ago Mrs. G. A. Newcome,
wen-known lady of this city, was
thrown from her buggy while out riding,
the time of the accident being nearly
seven years ago. By the accident she
sustained very serious injuries, both of
her arms being badly fractured, an ankle
dislocated and other serious internal in
juries, from which she suffered Sc living
death % for the years following her un-
fortunate accident. After trying every
possible medical aid without any appar-
emit relief, she, through the advice of her
friends, resorted to prayer, in which she
persisted for six months or longer, as
sisted by an old colored woman of very
religious turn of mind. However strange
cures of this kind may seem, this is one
which in every particular can be vouched
for as being truthful. At the end of six
months her condition was greatly i'm
proved and to-day her cure is entirely
complete.

BY CAROLINE A. MASON.

A child lay sleeping in the rosy dawn,
And Steering. dreamed. What fancies crossed hi
brain
We know not: now shadow, as of pain,
Clouded his tranquil features, and anon
A smile lay beautiful his face upon;
The household stirred around him, but in vain
The noisy pratte of the household train
To break the spell; outside, upon the lawn;
The birds sang shrillv. and the clarion cocks
Answered with usty cheer; bat all unheard
BY him crow of cock song of bird.
Who knows but life be such: dream that locks
Our senses to the Real above us rife
If sleep can thus enthrall US, may not life?
