The Home Circle.

Through splendor and beauties surround
us:
Though kings pay us homage, forsooth
Yet something it never throws round us,
The joys and the pleasures of youth.
The halo of bliss and enchantment
That lights up the young buoyant
mind,
Grows lesser, and fainter, and darker,
As years pass and vanish behind.
How joyous the group that assembled
Around the old hearth long ago:
The spirit of childhood ne'er trcmbled
At dreams of life's sorrow and woe
My heart cannot keep down its sobbing
The tears of emotion will start.
To think of that loving "home circle"
For that was the home of my heart
The home has lost all its attractions,
Save those that in memory lie;
Yet these cast thousand refractions,
That never, no never can die.
ltoi uSttil has SlSppCh lhtp tht thtlC
That group is no longer complete,
And we the sad relics of childhood
Find life has more bitter than sweet.
To meet with the bright smiling faces
Of those who have crossed DER the
way,
To be clasped in loving embraces
To hearts that can never decay
To live in the smiles of the loved ones
No longer mid strangers to roam
To bask in the sunshine of of glory,
Oh, this once again would be homel
And when we cross DER the dark river
And land on that beautiful shore.
And mingle with millions that never
Taste anguish or death evermore;
We will form another "home circle"
Where death cannot sever the chain,
And drink through the years of forever
The pleasures of Eden's domain

COUNTRY LIFE IN CHILL.

The better classes of Chillians are
very hospitable and do everything
in their powers to make their guests
enjoy themselves in fact, in many
respects they overdo it by their con-
tinued attentions in their endeavors
to make you feel perfectly at home,
and by devoting themselves entirely
to your comfort and pleasure. We
were assured that the entire ha-
cienda, with everybody and every
thing in it, was at our disposal, to
do with it as we saw fit, and Senor
Amor begged us to make the most
of our stay, and leave nothing un-
done that would promote our enjoy
ment. In the first place, they have
five meals a day, and everybody is
expected to do justice to them all,
or you will give offence to your
host, and as each meal has six or
seven courses, you have to be very
judicious in your eating to partake
of everything that is set before you.
Sevaral of our officers who could
not speak Il word Of spanish started
in at first to eat very heartily, so
thaC when the fourth or fifth course
came ON they could not take Il
mouthful, and they only saved
themselves from numerous appeals
from our host to cat more by their
ignorance of the spanish language,
for that, of course, was the language
used at all times.
On the morning after our arrival
we found fine lot of horses, sad
died and bridled, waiting for us
after breakfast, with Senior Amor
all ready to show us over his ha-
cienda, so the entire party, with the
addition of his three daughters,
mounted and started for an inspec-
ton as well as for a pleasure trip.
He provided most of us, with u
Chillian outfit in the way of SOM
breros, ponchos, etc, and when we
were all ready and started off in a
brisk canter he remarked that we
looked quite like huasos or country
men. Stretching off in front of his
house was u long avenue of cotton
wood trees, with fruit richardson
either side, with pears, peaches, figs,
grapes, vines and other fruits in the
greatest abundance, and beyond
were fields of wheat and corn. All
through these orchards and fields
were trenches or bitches of water
for irrigation, and the farm hands
were at at work running it over the
land. This is just the fruit season
here, and, in spite of a hearty
breakfast, most of us were eating
fruit while riding through the or
chards; for really it was so tempt
ing that one could not resist the
tation to be eating it all day
long,
In the evening a number ot
country people were ready to give
us a sample of the cuaca, or country

TOO MANY CHURCHES.

We make the following extract
from II sermon, delivered recently
by the Rev. Heber Newton, in the
Anthon Memorial Church, New
York. 1t contains Il great deal of
truth which is well worthy consid-
Grafton.
"We need more men turned from
nonproducers to producers, because
we need a vastly larger production
of wealth for better distribution.
AT the top of society there is dis
proportionately large Development.
The best thing for civilization to-
day would be to nip the budding
hopes of II host Of preachers, and
teachers, and doctors, and lawyers
and artists, and to turn these hosts
of would-be professional workers
into some tasks of productive labor.
The world would manage to get
along without their sermons, briefs,
prescriptions, paintings, and poems
and they themselves would be bet
ter off, and the race would be better
of. So let the church set the exam
pie by considering seriously its re-
sponsibility in multiplying needless
ministers and churches, all of which
tax the wealth Of the country, which
if distributed with absolute equality
would only suffice to give each per-
son an income of fifty cents Il day.
In the face Of the church which
is to preside over 200,OOO,OOO people
on these shores in the future, behold
the folly Of our American Christian
ity III each little New England
village you see three or four chuchcs
and not one ever half full of wor-
shippers. All are struggling to ex-
ist. They might all well be run in
to one strong church crowded full Of
people, really supporting one living
minister, without the help Of the
donation parties, which often lcnve
him poorer than before. In the
presence Of such Il gigantic task as
confronts our American Christianity
the division Of Professionalism form
nothing less than Il crime. The
ministry is stunted by division.
You cannot get more out Of Il horse
than you put into him. If you
want him to trot fast or to pull
heavy loads, you cannot keep him
on a hay diet. Our ministers are
on a hay diet The average parson
can scarcely find potatoes for his pot
much less books for his shelves.
He rereads those juicy volumes he
studied in the theological seminary,
chew over the cud Of old knowledge
and rchashes early theological spec
ulations. We expect Il minister Of
a large church to preach twice on
Sundays and have something to say
each time to visit hundreds Of
families, and to come in again soon
upon each household to lool; after
the sick and afflicted, and orlni2a
church charities to be interviewed
by anybody at any time and on any
subject to correspond with people
from all quarters upon all themes,
writing essays when he has nothing
else to do. You stand up once or
twice on Sunday and talk for little
while, and then take it easy until
the next Sunday 1t is the men,
tai poverty of undcrpaid and over
worked men which blocks the nat
ural path of progress of the Chris
tian minister By the knowledge
coming to our possession sound
creeds and Il scientific faith might
be built up

commission is directed TO ascertain It's

on basis OF $1,000 for every $50 net an

valuation than that ascertainod.
Upon the basis thus prescribed to pay for
