God Cares for Me.

/ stood in the door at eventide, ii.
NV heart was full of fears;
And saw the landscape before me lie
Through mists of burning tears
] thought to myself, the world is dark,
No light nor joy see;
Nothing but toll and want is mine,
And no one cares for me.
A sparrow was twittering at my feet,
With its beautiful auburn head,
And looked at me with dark, mild eyes,
As it picked up crumbs of bread;
And said to me in words as plain
As the words of a bird could be,
"I'm only sparrow, a worthless bird,
But the dear Lord cares for me-"
A lily was growing beside the hedge,
Beautiful, tall and white,
And it shone through the glossy leaves
of green
Like an angel clothed in light;
And it said to me, as it waved its bead
On the breeZes soft and free,
81 am only lily, useless flower,
But the Master cares for me-"
Then it seemed that the hand Of the low
ing Lord
Over my head was laid,
And He said to me, 20 fahhless child,
Wherefore art thou dismayed?
l clothe the lilies. feed the birds,
see The sparrows fall;
Nothing escapes my watchful eye,
My kindness is over all.

HOW TO DO 1T.
A Capital Reference of Present
and Future Interest, and the
Little Trouble to Secure it.

A handy thing indeed to have in the
house will be the special edition OF the
B & o Red Book, now in course of prop
aration. The surprising results of
this years elections all over the coun-
try make a most interesting study
when presented in shape for ready
comparisons. gilmore or less interest
Just now in contrasting the past and
the present, the future as calculated
from "the might have been" will prove
an all-absorbing occupation to very
many people.
In the new Red Books, which will
bear the cleverly adapted title of How
Twas Done," all the figures are from
official sources, being received under
the seal of the secretaries of the differ
ent States, and therefore correct be-
yond question. The comparisons and
calculations generally are made by ex
perienced statisticians, and may be
depended upon as accurate. The scope
of the, little volume is something more
than ever before attempted in politi-
cal text book, going much farther into
details and summing up facts more
concisely than the ordinary run of such
publications. About everything that
one wishes to know is presented clearly
and intelligentlv. The comparisons
of the vote of this year with the vote
at the preceding election are full and
complete, showing not only majorities
but losses and gains on Republican,
Democratic, Prohibition and Green
back. vote Where States have been re
Gistric,eG congresslonally, the compar
isons are made in districts as now con-
stitued, and in the remarks all the
change in districts are shown, as well
as very much interesting data relative
to candidates, etc, etc. i'c
The book will be an invaluable ref
erencc for use at coming elections, and
those who take any interest whatever
in politics should adopt means TO Sc
cure copy now, as possibly when
tEey want it most the edition will be
exhausted. The mere trouble of in
diting request to G K Lord, Balti-
more, Md, will insure the receipt Of a
copy of the book, as no charge what
ever is made for it. Already very
large number of requests have
been received, and envelopes are
being addressed as requests come
in, so that the hooks may be for
warded Immediately upon receipt from
the printer. No publication OF similar
character can be procured for money.
Like all the b 60 publications, it
will he gem from typographical
standpoint AS an Indication of the
value of the work, quite number of
prominent newspaper publishers have
requested sufficient number Of copies
