Thirty Years as u Lightkeeper

Mr.. A, j. Slyfeld' of Point AuX-Bec-
Scies lighthouse, has resigned, and his
son Edward has been appointed his sue
cessOr. MI. S. is veteran in the light
house employ, having been constantly
at it for thirty years. He first took the
Old SOnth Manitou Island light in 1852.
1t was a very rickety, poor concern, and
it is mainly through his efforts and
under his supervision that the new
tower was built in 1858. While on the
Island light he, in several instances,
assisted in saving lives from wrecks,
among them the crews of the brig j. w.
Scammon and the schr. Vim Aldrich, in
early years. He took charge of Point

fails to salute Point Betsy. She has
done so for the past twenty years on her

Old age and failing health have at
last induced him to resign. We all
unite in saying, well done, thou good
and faithful servant"
His successor, Ed. Sly6eld, was born

of light station. and no doubt will prove
worthy keeper.

You used long ago to repeat

OF Noah, who heard and oheyed;
or Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
With the faith and love they displayed.
There was Joseph sold into Egypt,
And Moses before the king,
And David who slew Goliath,
With little stone in his sling;
There was Samuel called at nighttime,
And Jonah cast in the deep,
And many dream and visions
OF prophets and kings asleep.

Who marked the pathway to glory
With tears and blood that he shed;
Dear mother that ''old, old story"

In my heart am earnestly praying
To be clean of sin and its faint.

The mother, by look and tone,

To yield Of the seed she has sown.
The work that she does may be lowly,
But the angels are watching her life;
The love of the Savior sustaineth
Each faithful mother and wife.

BEECHER ON HAY FEvER.-Mr.
Beecher writes to the Chicago Tribune
a rather remarkable letter on the hay
fever cure. He declares ''no one has
right to speak Of torment till after
having had the hay fever. This hay
fever rack stretches q man for two
months every year. During the period
he is no longsf a free agent, and not
accountable. A jury of - men who
had themselves had hay fever, full and
perfect, would acquit victim, no mat
ter if lie had killed his mother-in-law.
Ones very conscience, like Jobs wife,
tempts him to swear. To him there is
no benevolent providence. He doubts
everything. He doubts the flood
though he is himself running for 40
days; he hates the Psalms-though
they mourn to him of all manner Of
distresses; the only apostle that has
grace in his sight is the one that had
courage to hang himself"

leave the books as part of his estate

of all parties are accomplished in the
