And the Buell. boys are coming
Like the roar OF u mountain pine.
And Grant still stands In the dim light,
Commanding the movements OF all,
Where somber shadows OF midnight
Come down like Il funeral pail.
The wounded and dying are moaning,
Like the 81 III of a lonesome sea,
And the rider and horse are grooming
By the swamps of the Tennessee.

We often hear the expression ..old
man" applied To one who i hun little If
any past the prime of life. IN another
instance we see mcn reach three score
and ten without suspicion from any obr
that they are old. In fact When their
age is mentioned it is 4 >arprise to even
the members Of their own families For
twenty-five years they have looked and
acted Is they do HOW. There is none If
the bitterness and irritaolencs, that t11
often takes away the Charm from old age.
Their bodies have aged slightly but their
mind and thoughts are fresh II Il May
morning. They have kept the compan-
ionship of young people and are in >ym-
pathy with their plan, aid work. They
remember when they were young and
hence they are not too SEVERE with the
short comingS of their youthful colupan-
ions. Such an old aye j. one that any
one might look forward to with pleasure
and not regret. Such old men are utt-
or in the way and their children do mt
draw lots to see vino will care for them
in their declining days. Their presence
is a benediction in amy household and
their companion>hip i, both pleasant and
instructive.

CHRISTIAN FORBEARANCE.-"F Forbear-
ing one another in love" is duty enjoined
by the apostle, and one which should be
more fully observed. How little forbear-
ance is often manifested by protesting Chris
tians towards those who differ from them,
or who fail to come up to the standard of ex-
cellence which they have fixed! How eX-
acting they are, and how much disposed to
magnify every little failing or foible in the
character and conduct of others Where is
the loving forhearance enjoined by the apos-
covers multitude of sins? Would it not
be we'll for Christians to think of this, and
see whether they bear with each other in
the spirit Of the Master as they should? If
most Christians would but think Of their
own weaknesses, they would find sufficient
reason to be charitable toward the failings
Of others.

FRICTION NMATCHES.-"HOWlS is business"
asked reporter of wholesale dealer in
Swedish matches. II suppose you are very
busy at the present time"
"There YOU are mistaken was the reply.
'"Ths is our dull season. We do little or no
business from December to March 81. The
population Of the United States is stated at
about So, ,000, 900 persons. Of these only 90
COZ, 900 live in cities, leaving 35,OOO,OO0 in
country places. During the summer time
the men work in the fields, and when they
After work they sit around in groups on the
fences until it is time to 60 to bed. Those
who smoke, light their pipes with matches,
which they carry in their pockets. This is
not the case in winter. The men either
work about the farm house or sit in the
country store. At the former place they
light their pipes with hot coal from the
farmhouse fire, which is kept alight all win
ter with big back log, being banked up at
night with ashes. If at the store, the hot
poker, which is always kept in or near the
Stove, serves to light innumerable pipes
These may seem to be small matters, but
with from 5000, 900 to G,00O,00O, comprising
the male portion of the Out-Of-tOWn inhab-
itants, it makes q considerable difference
with regard to the sale of matches. Then
again there are the farmers wives, who
keep fires going night and day: Now, the
nOn-use of say ten matches day for four
months in perhaps 100000 houses will,
alone, cause dull time in the match bust
ness for it will amount to 5,OOO,O 100000
matches, to say nothing about those not used
by the men. But the country people do not
cause the only loss in the trade; for there
are less used among city people in winter
than summer.
'Milions of matches are not used in this
way, and could 60 on repeating instances
that would account for the fact that our trade,
as we'll as others, has its season."
