We know that thou dost feel for us

We know that thou dost feel for us
Poor sinners, on our earthly way,
Pray Virgin mother, pray that we,
In Heaven will see thy sons dear face
Some day.
| pray for blessings upon mine,
The dear ones God has gwen me;
Plead mother, with thy son divine,
His grace may rest on them and me,
Some day.
This day, the whole world looks to thee
With thankfulness. And prayers arise,
That thou didst nurse upon thy knee,
The Saviour, who in Paradise we'll meet,
Some day.

How to be Young at Eighty.

How to be Young at Eighty.
Rev. DR.. Collyer thus speaks to those
who desires hearty and happy old age:
"The first element to be considered lies
beyond your reach and mine, in the homes
where you and | were born and nurtured.
One great reason why I never had really
sick day in my life was that I was born
and nurtured ina sweet little home, where
we lived on oatmeal and milk and brown
bread with butter once week, potatoes
and bit of meat when we could catch it.
and then oatmeal again. So don't know
to-day as have system or constitution.
or digestion at all; | am never conscious
of such thing. Hence I say we must 90
back to our question. Thousands of young
men come to such city as this from the
Green Mountains, or from New Hamp-
shire, or from Maine, with just such con-
stitution as mine. They have within them
all the conditions for long, sweet life.
They can use their years wisely and we'll.
and write at the end of each one. "Value
received" Or they can overdraw the ac-
count, as many do. God hel them In
stead of saying at fifty, 81 am young yet"
they will say at forty, 81 am old indeed"
They are so ambitious to get on, some
of them, that they use two days up in one
and waste their vital powers. They ride
when they ought to walk down town, and
they take "a little something as they say,
to restore their lax energies, for which they
have to chew Glove or a cofeeberry, am
told. They are overdrawiug their account,
say, and some day nature and the grace
Of God will shut down on them. Those
who do differently keep good digestion,
stay young and buoyant, love good, sweet
company and are not ashamed to look
their mothers and sisters in the eyes or to
kiss them. Another secret that must be
known to be young at eighty is that you
must keep faith in the common manhood
and womanhood and in the ever-advancing
progress of the day. Never say that the
past is better than to-day is; read the new
books, understand all the new ideas; and
keep your faith in God and in man and
in the victory of good over evil"

churches, that each week we will give
some account of their services.
Sunday, Oct 18th, the sun arose in a
cloudless sky, the air mild and warm as
midsummer. The church-bells pealing
their solemn sweet invitation to all, to
come and worship God many bowed
down in the early morning at the Epis-
copal altar, heard Bishop Pierce deliver
forcible sermon on the parable of the
fig tree numbering the earth without
bringing forth good fruit-showing Us
that we will be as much accountable
for what we leave undone, as what we
do.
In the afternoon Miss Dwelling
delivered temperance lecture in the
Grand Opera House, which was filled
with attentive listeners. She seemed
very earnest in her support of this
cause, gave many practical suggestions,
which were warmly applauded. DR..
Winfield with his inimitable humor and
sparkling wit, gave one of bis own Pc
culiar talks, ending with "throw down
your money in the good work " ( but he
did not lock the doors). -Four good
and true gentlemen loaned their aid and
hats to collect the donations. Would
every hat had been weighted with a
brick of silver.

In England there is story current
that Mrs. Langtry, when last in New
York, sent for young American dram.
atist, who had been recommended as a
good person to write a play for her.
He called, and was asked to take seat
Mrs. Langtry entered the room. With
out word Of formaHty she surveyed
him with a cold English stare, and then
walked clear around him, looking at
him the whole time. 1t was Of course
eminently agreeable to be surveyed ike
a horse on sale. Butshe stood it. Hav'
ing completed her survey she asked
almost contemptuously: "And do you
think that you could write play!

as competent to write play as you are
to act one +" They did not come "

Sweet Mary, mother of our Lord
We humbly at thy dear sons feet,
Beseech, and pray, with sweet accord,

decrease in Marketvalue of Stocks

Some of the railroads have increased
their stocks, in the aggregate about
$40, 100000, but taking the present
capital stock as the basis of comparison,
it is shown that the par value of the
stock of thirty-two large properties is
81 ,116, 9S1 ,140, and the highest value in
1881, on the basis of the present capital
was 81 ,236, 101 ITO, or an average of 10
per cent. above par. These had depre-
ciated in May, this year, to SCAT ,096,'
1l6, which is about 5S pei
cent. of par. If we were to
take the lowest prices made during
the panic last week the depreciation
would be still greater, but that would
not be as fair an indication of their gen
eral market value at the present time.
The decrease in market value is 1882
004, 1894, or nearly As per cent. These
include such as the Union Pacific Rail
road, on which the depreciation was
$50 1888, $50 or over 60 per cent. from
the highest point. New York Central
which has declined $40, AIS, 442, or over
30 per cent. Central Pacific, which lost
in the aggregate $50 ,521 ,S05, or over
so per cent. Denver and Rio Grande,
which fell. $3S, $50 900, or over 80 per
cent; Western Union, which
fell off $50, 900, 900, or nearly 43 per
