Received from woman's hands
Brave woman-last on Calvary
To weep The sins of men
Watching the tomb with trustful eye,
To greet her Lord again
IT is her brave heart which bindeth fast
The world, in golden bands,
And boastful man must own, at last,
The power of womans hands.
Guided. that hand, by Love Divine,
And fraught with rnte deeds,
And sacred mem'rics c"r entwine
The way wherein it leads;
Through deepest gloom it leadeth on
The light of Heaven expands,
And souls emerge in endless dawn,
Guided by woman's hands.
To that brave hand the foremost place
In Mission work be given
That gentle hand, which, through Gods grace,
Points out the way to Heaven;
The trusting soul looks up by faith,
To bright and beanieous lands.
And hears argel song which saith:
''Ali hail. brave womats hands,
The Church Social met with the Mis-
sionary Society, which fact made the att
tendance larger. perhaps, than it would
otherwise have been. The meeting was
a grand success, and everybody went
away happy over the enjoyments of the

night, discussing the affairs of this life
we are living, deplored the disappearance
from our generally speaking
of the old-fashioned maple sugar and syr-
up. This is mostly traceable to the cut
ting down of the trees, many sugar
camps" having disappeared in this region
during late years. The sugar is very
scarce, and this fact leads to the practice
of mixing it with other substances. One
gentleman stated that few years ago
he sent away back in the country to some
pure sugar, and sadly discovered that at
least nine tenths of it was cheap brown
sugar, doctored with maple.
SATURDAY.-A good, long, heavy rain
to-day, blowing in colder weather. "A
lady who was trading at Martins Store,
to-day, sat her new umbrella down in the
store when some one came in, and in de-
parting got the wrong umbrella, leaving
an old worn out one in place of it. The
it at the store. Some gentleman or lady
also bought bill Of goods there and for
got to take them away. "A little Jack
son girl was telling, at table, of two boys
who had a fight at school. "And which
whipped ?" asked her big brother. "Why,
Prof. Kinnison whipped" she replied. -.
The wife of Barbee-who was to-day
convicted of manslaughter-eXcit some
sympathy by her outbursts of grief. This
case has been an unfortunate affair all
around, and relative of the man who
was killed remarked in public few days
ago that "he might have been living yet,
if he had not acted the fool.". Meet
ing tonight at the Baptist Church. .....
The hens ought to be putting On style
now, with eggs at twenty-five cents a
dozen.
SUNDAY.-Rev. F. S. Davis preached
this morning from the 122 psalm-"I was
glad when they said unto me, let us go
into the house of the Lord" The argu-
ment' was, that if King David, with all
the official cares of the Kingdom resting
upon him, could find time not only to at
tend to his religious duties, but to write
his psalms of praise, it is unreasonable
for men in these days of ours to plead
want of time to attend to the calls of re-
hgious duty. The lesson was forcible
one and thePastor's argument unanswer-
able. -. AT the Baptist Church tonight
there was an immense congregation to
hear DR.. Hildreth. His subject was
''the appearance OF Christ before plate
his immediate text-the washing of hands
by PLATE, thus condemning Christ to
| arl1ciff2inn Tho cncol-or
full address, and at the close invited all to
come up for a general hand-shaking
"Why" said he, "if you think cannot give
you the old-fashioned Methodist shake
come up and try me-" Some moments
were pleasantly occupied by the vast
crowd in chatting and singing around the
altar.
