The day that we were wed,

Till numbered with the dead.

Through conflict, joy or woe,

And when we set out in life
With nothing but our hands,
How year by year we labored,
PrOspered and laid our plans,
As one by one was added
To our domestic joys,
As from time to time, mother,
We saw our noble bOysi
And then our little daughter,
So happy and so bright,
Like an angel come to cheer us,
How it comes to me tonight
The dOting brothers sister pet
But, oh, the bitter tears
We shed when she fell asleep,

Those days of long ago;

And Helen. too was dead,
The parting words she gave us,
The bitter tears we shed.

If We keep our Lords command;

That lies upon the stand.

families having met each other with
exceeding good cheer, and under very

several anniversaries celebrated,
among the number that of Jacob B.
Gaskill, one of our oldest citizens, who
is at seventy-four still hale and hearty,
working at his bench almost constant
ly, and, as we have reason to believe,
sober and earnest in all things. Fifty
years ago last Wednesday Mr.. Gaskill
was united in marriage to Mary Ann
Lowell, which anniversary was duly
celebrated at their home on Caledonia
street by about fifty of their friends
and neighbOrs, who left substantial ev-
idence of their regard. The event was
Il complete surprise to Mr. Gaskill,
who sincerely and feelingly thanked
his friends for their kind remembran-
ces. At the close DR.. J. II. Smith read

Care Of Harness in Summer

Harness is more rapidly injured in
summer. says the Country Gentlemen,
than in winter. II is sometimes soaked
with rain, and again subjected to heat
and drying, and the perspiration of
horses does II no good, II kept well
oiled, all these influences will cause lit
tie injury, There are many different app
plcatons used, and different modes are
adopted for employing them. A com.
mon way is first to wash thoroughly with
soap and warm water, and then apply
neatsfoot oil, as the best oil for the pur-
pose. But a different course is adopted
by others. One team manager informs
us that the first thing to do is always TO
apply one or two coats Of castor oil with
enough lamp-black to give proper col
or. BY thus saturating the leather with
oil first the soap and water applied af-
terward do not penetrate it, and when
leather is permitted to absorb water it
hardens it and excludes the oil. BY
oiling first the dirt is soitened SO that it
is easily washed off, and this obviates
much of the scraping otherwise required
anu lne Wnole operation may De per-
formed at once. After being oiled,
wash it with a sponge and scap-suds,
and when dry, rub over it mixture of
equal parts of oil and tallow, colored
with lamp-black, and small portion of
Prussian blue. This is substantially the
process recommended, and we shall be
glad to hear from those who have tried
different methods, ms to their compare
tive value, and of the benefit of apply
ing the oil first, and the fitness of castor
oil as compared with other applica-
tons. While on the subject of using
harness in teamwork in summer, it is
well to recommend for any field-work
the simplest harness that will answer
the purpose. both for the comfort of
the horse, and 70 prevent the needless
wear and tear Of leather Binders are
not needed. belly-band nor cruppers.
Simple harness for the farm, kept al
ways in good order, not liable to break.
age, will be a thing of economy in more
ways than one, and sometimes prevent
costly delays in the most busy days of
the year.

Speaking Of the dead and gone heroes

the other day, he remarked that in
early years fighting Joe Hooker was the
handsomest man he had ever seen. His

dashing soldier, and he told a story
about him which is curious, as an in

Who was Tousssaint L'Ouverture? Was

eminent Of his people, and as their chief exccu-

All this he did though he, too, was negro.

These are but few of the many instances
that might be quoted to show that our people

Let US hastily glance at few Of our
cities. What was rhebes with her hundred

ing men, besides 20, 900 armed Chariots could
be sent forth at moments warning Was
| she not the most populous city in the world?
Was she not as magnificent as any other?
She was, and yet she was inhabited by mig

What were Memphis. and Alexandria Ohe
latter containing the largest library in the
world, only 100000 volumes, and a popula-
ton Of 600 600 persons). 1t appears that we
were given to literature as well as numbers.
Truly, one hath well said that
Sin days O. old in fertile plain,
Afar in sunny land,
Two cities lowered in loneliness,
Like sisters did they stand.
Crowned with marble roofs and spires,
And clad in fragrant flowers,
Perpetual summers in them bloomed,
And Plenty filled their towers
And here let me add, that
plenty of negroes filled those wells.
In fact they were negro cities. Historians
tell us, that very early the Egyptians attained
| to high perfection in the arts. They reared
the most gigantic structures, to which fac,
| their ruins at the present day bear witness.
| The Egyptians were the first in the world to
organize regular army, and to introduce it
into correct system of discipline.
Who settled Greece, which afterwards be-
came the seat Of civilization and refinement?
A race of blacks from the opposite side OF
| the Mediterranean sea.
Time would fail me to tell OF the powerful,
| and prosperous kingdom of Africa of which
proud Carthage was the capital. Seeing then,
| that in days Of antiquity, we were once SO
powerful, industrious, and intelligent why
cannot we be so again
There is no barrier but that can be sur
mounted, no obstacle but that can be over

should eagerly press forward for a thorough,
genuine, Christian education.
