A Song of SOlace-

Thou sweet hand of God that woundest
my heart.
Thou makest me smile, while thou
makest me smart;
It seems as if God were at ball-play-
and /,
The higher he strikes me the higher l
fly.

But the hammer and chisel affiicts me
no more.
Shall 1 tell you the reasonP 1t is that 1
The sculptor will carve out an angel for

shrink from no suffering, how painful
so e'er,
When once l can feel that my Gods
hand is there;
For soft on the anvil the iron shall
glow,
When the smith with his hammer deals
blow upon blow.
God presses me hard, but he gives pa
tience toel
Auu odg w mgoCA LIS AO mOAO
than my due"
And no tone from the organ can swell
on the breeze
Till the organist's fingers press down on
the keys.
So come then and welcome, the blow
and the pain,
Without them no mortal can heaven
attain;
For what can the sheaves on the barn
floor avail
Till the thresher shall beat out the chaff
with his fail?
'Tis only moment God chastens with
pain;
Joy follows on sorrow like sunshine on
rain;
Then bear thou what God on thy spirit
shall lay;
Be dumb, but when tempted to murmur,
then pray.

POETRY.
Beautiful Things.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters but little if dark or fair
Whole-souled honesty printed there.
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal panes where heart-fres
glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Leap from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterances produce girds.
Beautiful hands are those who do
Work that is earnest, ,and brave and true
Moment by moment the whole day
through.
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro
Down lowliest ways, if God will 1t so.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
Ceaseless burdens of homely care,
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may
guess.
Beautiful twilight, at set of sun,
Beautiful goal, with race well won,
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep
Where brown leaves fall, where drifts
lie deep
Over wern-out hands oh, beautiful
sleep. unknown Ex.

the drummer. He was in the habit of
playing pitcher in this kind of match
and the position of catcher didn't fit
him as tight as his pantaloons. Nice
weather for travelling, continued the
girl; much nicer than when it was cold.
Are yeu perfectly comfortable? 'Oh,

Congressional Appropriations.

Mr.. Hiscoek, of New York, Chairman
of the House Appropriation Committee
furnishes the figures to show that the
appropriations of the present Congress
compare favorably with those made by
the Forty-sixth, which was Democratic
The excess of this years appropriations
over the last, excluding bills not prepar-
cd by his committee, amounts to
S3T,1SO,232.71. OF this sum $34,O00,00O
was appropriated for arrearages of pen
siOns, and S1,742,430 for extra clerical
force required by the Pension Bureau,
making the full sum of $35,742, ,43O. The
difference between the two years he
shows to be 81 ,437, ,S02.71. The foregoing
does not include the river and harbor
appropriations, nor the appropriation on
account of agriculture, which is $91, 900
more this year than last. Mr.. HiscOck
further points out that the present Con-
gress had to provide for deficiencies
amounting to S29.24s, 1913, legacy left
by its Democratic predecessor. Sixteen
millions of this deficit was on account of
pensions, $1,192, ,2O6 for compensation of
postmasters, which the Democrats dis
honestly refused to allow, although the
compensation was determined by law;
81, ,120,0 900 for railway transportation of
mails, also regulated by law; $1,038,S67
for the Indian service; $780, 900 for army
transportation; s25s,056 for expenses of
United States courts, and 100000 on
account of the census. These sums were
all needed, and should have been appro-
priated by the Democratic Congress.
But to make false showing of economy,
the Democrats Of the last Congress held
the money in the Treasury, we'll know
ing that the deficiencies would have to
be made good by the incoming Congress
In concluding his defense of the Appro.
priations Committee, Mr.. Hiscock said:
1t has been our intention and we have
striven to make full appropriations for
the service; and 1 know of no instance
in which we have given less sum than
we believed was necessary for the sup
port and maintenance of the particular
branch of the service for which the ap-
was made, and in many
branches of the service the amount Civ
en- has been increased in consequence of
the investigation of the appropriation
made for the last year, including def |
ciencies voted by this Congress, the first

stituting the amount appropriated in
most cases for the same service for this |
year. We have never given a less

ing the conduct of the Egyptian militia
ry leaders associated with him as rebel
lious and criminal, and announcing that
Turkey enters Egypt as the friend and
ally of England, with the purpose of
re-establishing the power of the Khedive.
The Conditions upon which the Turkish
troops are to act in concert with the
British forces nave been assented to by
the Porte, those conditions giving to the
English commanders the virtual direc-
tien of the campaign. The Conference,
finding it impracticable to agree upon
any plan of action, has given its assent
to this programme, and will dismiss the
whole affair from further consideration
until the period of hostilities has come
to an end and that of settling Egypt's
future has begun. Then, if it is deemed
advisable, the Conference will reassem-
BILE to give international sanction to the
settlement.
By common consent, freely given or
because there appeared to be no other
course open, the work of restoring order
In Egypt has been left to England, with
such help as Turkey is willing to fur
nish and England to receive. When
that task is accomplished Egypt may
remain nominally tributary to Turkey,
but will be under the actual protection
and direction Of England. The restora-
tion of the status quo ante bellum, with
the financial affairs OF Egypt under the
complete direction of an Anglo French
Board of Control, is not probable. The
withdrawal OF France in the moment of
danger put an end to that programme.
The responsibility and sacrifice will be
England's alone, and England will just
ly claim the advantage. The idea
of an international protecterate of the
Suez Canal appears to have been aban-
doned as impractical An English protec-
torate is now admitted to be the best
plan, provided that England gives suffi-
cient guarantees of equal rights to the
commerce of all countries. This has
been solemnly pledged.

the point at which it will either fertil- |
