Once more, after years. in the quaint old church,
To the choir bent my ear.
But Vainly. THROUGH 1t made listening search,
For the voice once held so dear.
No lack OF melodouS art was there,
Still grand were the chords OF praise,
Yet missed with pang the familiar air
or the choir OF my bOyhOod's days
The sweet, pure Hood OF my sisters voice,
or my brothers full-toned and clear,
And OF yet dearer, whose accents choice
Made my pulses stir to hear;
And or friend and neighbOr, each quite distinct,
In the symphony-Nhere are they9
Gone, Va iShed and mute-a Oh lin dslinked-
An accord that had died awayI
mourned their loss; and then vague and dim
Grew the notes OF the later choir.
And there seemed to swell on the air hymn
Rlch and strong with the Old-tme fire.
With thrill ecstatic I recognized
CHI tone In remembrance kept,
While that one dear voice, than OF all more priced
My innermost heartstrings swept
So real 1t was that turned my head
TO the singers as II to see,
The prayer eyes OF my beautiful dead,
Looking down. as Of Old on me;
When the spell was dissOlved-I recalled no face,
No glance the new choir among,
Ana the dream-hymn, fading, gave gradual place
To the psalm that was being sung.
Sad and sedate through the Gothic door
passed with the goodly throng,
more,
So to rest for a whole week long;
But for days and days, in recesses gray
or memory, long locked fast,
A phantom choir held sovereign sway
With the anthems OF the past

At Rest.

From Good Words.
All, silent wheel, the noisy brook is dry,
And quiet hours glide by
In this deep vale, where once the merry stream
Sang on through gloom and CLEAN;
Only the dove In some leaf-shaded nest
4urmurs or rest
All, weary voyager, the closing day
Shines on that tranquil hay,
Where thy storm beaten soul has longed TO DO;
Wild blast and angry sea
Touch not this favored shore, by summer blegt
home of rest
All. fevered heart, the grass is green and deep
Where thou art laid asleep:
Kissed by soft winds. and washed by gentle show
erS,
Thou hast thy crown OF flowers;
Poor heart, too long in this mai world opprest,
Take now thy rest.
], too, perplexed with strife OF good and Ill,
Long to be safe and still;
Evil Is present with me while gray
That good may win the day.
Great Giver, grant me Thy last gift and best,
Thy gift Of restl

From the London Daily News.

James Burton. a$ed thirty three years, was
| executed yesterday morning within the walls of
Durham Jail for the murder of Elizabeth Sharpe
at Tunstall. near Sunderland, May Sth last. The
condemned man. who passeda fairly good night,
rose at about o'clock. and was soon joined By
the chaplain, who remained with him till the
end. The prisoner was very pale, but wss calm,
and walked with a firm step. Marwood at once
set to work ADJUSTING the moose and putting the

feet. Burton, who had confessed his crime on

| One of the warders touched the executioner,
| who waited for the moment The words,
Lord, receive the soul of this man about to
die!" had issued from the chaplain's lips and

the lever was raised, and the condemned man

off for the distant spectators to see him. but the
| rope swung violently the moment he was thrown
! off. and MarwoOd's hurrying around to thenorxh
side of the cavity and STOPPING down in the
effort to get hold OF the rope showed the distant
spectators that something was wrong Warder
Cox caught the rope and jerked it over to Mar

son, drew the man up until he was placed In q

only his elbows on the ledge as seen by the on
lockers, who were much below him.
1t was found that the slack of the rope had
caught as he fell under the right elbow and
stretched across his face, thus relieving the
pressure on the neck, but giving the appear

Of him. he threw him with strong push into
the cavity again. The force he used sent the
| convict right across the cavity almost to the op-

it, and all was over. 1t is stated that while the
rope was being adjusted the second time the
culprit twice muttered: 30, Lord. have mercy

o'clock.

hair was long, but his appearance now il vastly
more outlandish than when his curling locks fell
over his face, ears. neck and back. Wilde has
large and bOny face. His forehead and chin
are abnormally diversified and his face is red and
seems somewhat swollen. When 1t was backed
by an immense shock Of hair trained artistically
down over the forehead and around the wing
like ears considerable portion Of the face was
concealed from view The more Mr.. Wilde con-
cealed his face the more beautiful he became,
Now that he has cut his hair and his face stands
out in bold relief one cannot rid himself Of the
impression on looking ct him that his face il q
separate part Of his head and is stuck on to the
hair. The esthetic comes under his true colors

The Value OF q Fun Stomach,

Two conditions oppose the requirement OF
sleep These are by hyperemia of the brain
stimulating it to undue activity, and playing the
part Of whip and spur to tired horse; and the
opposite OF hyperNmia-excessive cerebral an@-
mia. To relieve the former by rational methods,
flank movement is required. The blood forces
must be enticed away from their persistent as
saults upon the cranial fortress. This can best
be accomplished by filing the stomach with solid

the pugilistic giobules on other fields. The GOOD

The black clouds roll before the sun.
Their shadows darken on the grass:
The songs the sweet birds sang are done,
And with wide wings the MINISTRIES pass
There comes q sudden sheet OF rain,
That beats the tender field flowers down,
And In the narrow, fragrant lane
The white road turns muddy brown.
And then the clouds move slowly back,
The sun again shines fierce and hot,
The cows come down the SOiden track.
And MUNICH the wet grass In the lot.
The flowers their mOstened faces raise.
The wet leaves In the sunb ANS CLEAN.
The b;rdS, refreshed, resume their lays,
The children paddle In the stream.
How like to life such days as this!
The brightness and the storm OF tears;
So much to gain, so much to miss,
The sudden overflow OF fears.
Yet. THOUGH the song is hushed a while,
We know It will break forth by-and-by:
We know behind the clouds the smile
OF radiant glory still doth lie.
Oh. let the sudden storm beat low
Our tendcrest blossoms as 1t mayi
And let our sweetest sOng-birdS 90,
They WILL come back some other day.
We shall forget the sheeted rain.
And all that looks so dark, so drear
Just as we have forgot the pain - 3
That seemed so hard to boar last year.

Grass ON The Farm.

\ writing farmer saws: 'sThe first thing
l advise for the small farmer is to get one
half his land in grass, for without grass
no farmer ever did or ever will live well
and make money" This is sensible talk.
Grass on the farm for pasture and for hay
means a herd Of good cattle, good beef,
milk, butter, cheese, ETC., to say nothing
Of the vast increase of the manure heaps
for the fields and gardens, and it may
well be said that no farmer can live well
and make money without these things.
Cotton, wheat, hemp, corn, rice, etc, have
and may still be prOfitably planted
on a large scale by capitalists who
pay no attention to minor matters,
because they neither live on, or are en-
tirely dependent upon their farm opera
tons; but the small farmer seldom has
another resource than the products of his
farm. and these it should be his care to
diversity and increase, not only to the eX-
tent of enabling him to ''live WE'LL" but
also to lay by small sum each year
either for the improvement of the farm,
or to meet the contingencies of the fu-
ture. Stock raising in connection
with the growing of crops is
called mixed farming, and it is
only where this system has been adopt
ed that we see the highest types of sue
cessfuI paying farms. In the Northern
States it has been in practice for many
years, and hence the superior advance
ment Of agriculture in those States. and
the more rapid accumulation of wealth;
but the people of the South are waking up
to their interests in this respect, and vast
numbers of the fine cattle raised in the
North, are now being transferred to the
South for the purpose Of stock raising on
farms heretofore wholly devoted
to crops. We hail it as
a favorable sign, and conf
dent, from our knowledge of the great
resources Of the Southern States, even in
the matter OF grass and stock raising
facilities, we predict that it will require
but few years, after the stocking of our
farms, to put the South in competition
with the North in all the great markets,
in supplying beef, hides, butter and
cheese, as well as blOOded animals for
the thousands Of farms yet to be opened.
