READING FOR THE SABBATH.
worship.

Not forever on thy knees
Be before the Almighty found;
There are griefs the true heart sees,
There are burdens thou canst ease
Look around.
Not long prayers but earnest zeal,
This is what is wanted more;
Put thy shoulder to the wheel
Bread unto the famished deal
From thy store.
Not high sounding words of praise
Sing to God meath some high dome;
But the fallen haste to raise,
And the poor from life's highways
Bring thou home.
Worship God by doing good
Works, not words kind acts, not ereeds.
He who loves God as he should
Makes his hearts love understood
By kind deeds.

WARS dread alarms carry terror to the hearts
of peaceloving citizens but it is safe to say that
the number of lives annually sacrificed to liver
complaint, in its various forms, greatly exceed
those of the most destructive battles George

my last visit to New York was presented with
half a dozen bottles of Mishler's Herb Bitters,

A Humming Birds Umbrella.

Ii. H., in the American Sportsman
In front of window where I worked last
summer was butternut tree A humming
bird built her nest on limb that grew near the
window, and we had an opportunity to watch
her closely, as we could look right into the nest
from the window. One day there was a heavy
shower coming up, and we thought we would
see if she covered her nest during the storm.
But when the first drops fell she came and took
in her bill one of two or three large leaves grow
ing close to the nest, and laid this leaf over so it
completely covered the nest; then she flew away.
On looking at the leaf we found a hole in it and
in the side of the nest was a small stick that the
leaf was fastened to or hooked on After the
storm was over the old bird came back and nm
hooked the leaf and the nest was perfectly dry

If 1 could choose what of all things would be
at the same time most delightful and useful to
me, I should prefer firm religious belief to any
other blessing; for this makes life discipline of
ones vanish, throws over the decay of existence
the most gorgeous of all lights, awakens life
even in death, makes even torture and shame
the ladder of ascent to paradise, and far above
all combinations of earthly hopes calls up the
most delightful visions of the future, the secm-
ity Of everlasting joys, where the sensualisu and
the skeptic Wow only gloom, decay annihila-
lion and despair.

Our ONLY Refure.
Rev. G. Q. Goss.


The Lord is our refuge in the day of trouble.
In prosperity we have many to whom we can
open our hearts; out when adversely comes we
fly at once to the throne of the heavenly grace.
If we never yearned for quiet hour before, we
must have it now The more intense the trial,
Ehe closer the soul shuts itself up with God
There are times vixen the souls grief is so over
'Ehelming that we cannot speak to any but God.

Some day,
When others braid your thick brown hair,
And drape your form in silk and lace,
When others call you dear" and fair"
And hold your hands and kiss your face,
You'll not forget that far above
All others is a mothers love.
Some day,
When you must feel loves heavy loss,
You will remember other years,
When l, too, bent beneath the cross,
And mix my memory with thy tears.
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within their shadows have prayed.
Some day,
A flower, a song, word, may be
link between us strong and sweet;
All, then dear child, remem Der me!
And let your heart to mother" beat
My love is with you everywhere;
You cannot get beyond my prayer.
Some day,
At longest, it can not be long,
l shall with glad impotence wait,
Amid the glory and the song,
For you before the Golden Gate,
After earths parting and earth's pain
Never to part! never again!

Our Future Coal supply.

We understand that the Mobile &
Ohio Rail Road has effected an ar
rangement by means of which it will
have entire and absolute control of
the movement and delivery of the
coal from the mines on the line of the
Columbus end Fayette road. The
coal will be loaded on the cars of
"the Old Reliable" at the mines and
will be shipped right through Column
bus to points of delivery upon the
main line. No coal will be stopped
at Columbus except so much as may
be required for local demand, while
all towns upon the Mobile & Ohio
road will like Columbus, be supplied
direct from the mines. 1t is thought
that coal will be laid down in Aber-
deem when this arrangement goes
into effect, at from 81 to $3.50 per
ton.
