UNBELIEF.

UNBELIEF.
There is no unbelief;
Whoever plants q seed beneath the sod
And waits to see il push away the clod,
He trusts in God.
Whoever says, when clouds are in the sky
"Be patient, heart; light breaketh by.and
by"
Trusts the Most High.
Whoever secs, meath winters field Of snow
The silent harvest Of the future grow,
Gods power must know.
Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep,
Content to lock each sense in sumber deep
Knows God will keep.
Whoever says, Tomorrow" "Thc I'm,
known"
"The Future" trusts that Power alone
lie dares dsown.
The heart that looks on when the eyeids
And dares to live when life has only woes,
Gods comfort knows.
There is no unbeliel
And day by day, and night, unconscously
The heart lives BY that faith the lips deny
God knoweth why

Somerset station in Orange county. says
ssThree negroes, Abram johnson, Henry
johnson aud Major Jackson, left this vi
cinity short time since to work on the e..
& O. r. r. beyond Staunton, but finding
the weather too cold to work and being
out of money, they sought to return home.
They stole ride as far as Mediums Riv-
e. on freight train, and being put off
there they came on walking with nothing
to eat. They state that they were refused
both food and shelter, whore they applied
for it, and consequently were out the very
cold night Of Thursday, 18th ult. All
were badly frost-bitten, SO that two will
lose their feet and the other his ears. The
last one saved his feet he thinks, by wad-
log Priddie's Greek, in Albemarle. He
was afraid of slipping from the railroad
bridge on account of his feet being clog
ged with ice and snow, and sought the
ford from necessity. They found friends
here and were carried home in most pit
liable condition"
