And loving hands unclasp from NINE
Alone l go to meet the darkness,
Across an awful boundary line.
AS from the lighted hearths behind me.

What waits me in the land of strangeness?
What face shall smile, what voice shall greet
I shrink from unaccustomed glory,
/ dread the myriad-voiced strain
Give me the unforgotten faces,
And let my lost ones speak again.
He will not chide my mortal yearping
Who is our Brother and our Friend,
In whose full life, divine and human,
The heavenly and the earthly blend.
Mine be the JOY of soul communion.
The sense OF spiritual strength renewed,
The reverence for the pure and holy,
The dear delight of doing coed.
No fitting esr is mine to listen
An endless anthem rise and fall;
No curious eye is mine to measure
The pearl gate and the jasper wall.
For love must needs be more than knowledge
What matters if never know
Why Aldebaran $ star is rudy,
Or colder Sirius white as snow
Forgive my human words. O. Father
IgU thy larger truths 10 prove;
Thy mercy shall transcend my longing

Safe in thy sheltering goodness still
And all that hope and faith foreshadow
Made perfect in Thy holy will.

An Atrocious Record.

1San Francisco Spirit OF the Times.
The murder record of California for the
present year has been an atrocious one IN
every respect. 1t has been nothing more
nor less than a monstrous disgrace to the
State There has not been week that one,
two or three murders have not been COM
mitted, brutally, CHASTITY and cowardly;
San Francisco doing her full share in bring
ing up the figures. And yet, out of this.
fearful array, the rope is scarcely ever
called into requisition. The political situa-
ton has a great deal to do with it.
boss ridden community will also be a
crime-ridden community, one being the
concomitant of the other; and so long as
the machinery of the law, from the Judge
on the bench down to the one who serves
the papers, is in the hands of the political
boss Just so long will cruel crime be
committed, human life sacrificed, and the
nerpetrator condoned with instead of being
pnnisbed. The most fiendish murders and
assassinations are committed, and then,
through the delays of the law, the inter
veution OF political friends and the in
fuence of the bosses" the end is
reached before one realizes that charge is
entered on the docket. Crime being COM
uitted. the first thought is, how the
nernetrator of the deed can be screened
and escape punishment for his
deed. A corrupt plant and avaricious
District Attorney yielding and mercen-
ary Sheriff a complaisant Judge and
fixed and bribed jury are the instru-
ments brought into use for the purpose,
and they generally succeed. The whole
structure of the administration of justice
must be founded upon honor and purity. or
it must soon 60 to ruin; but this cannot be
SO long as bosses are empowered to
name the District Attorney, the Sheriff.
Judge and jury, and pull the cord by and
through which each individual named is
put into place and action. The fountain
of Justice being impure, that which flows
| from it must necessarily be of the same
character, and, being So an equal and just
administration of the law cannot be ex-
pected. The criminal Courts, maybe with
one or two exceptions, are all susceptible to
boss rule, and hence it is that the pun
ishment is not made TO fit the crime. Just
SO long as the lever OF the machinery OF
Saw is worked BY the bosses, just so long
will the record of crime increase instead OF
diminish. The remedy is with the people.
! If they do not wish any change IN the re-
snect of which we have spoken, we Will not
complain. If they can stand 1t, we are
sure we can.

A Foprsr ~ 4 SINGLE TREE.-The Ind

A FOREST II A SINGLE TREE.-The Indian
fig, or banyan tree, is remarkable for its
manner of growth and its longevity. Every
branch from the main body throws out its
own roots, at first in small, tender fbers,
several yards from the ground but these
continually grow thicker until they reach
the surface, when they strike in, increase
to large trunks and become parent trees,
shooting out new branches from the top,
which again in time suspend their roots,
and these, swelling into trunks, produce
other branches, the growth continuing
while the soil contributes sustenance. On
the banks of the Nerbudda, in India is a
banvan which is said to have sheltered
once u 900 men. Alexander the Great him
self added to its fame by stopping under it.
Though now much reduced in size by
floods. the tree still retains, according to
Forbes, $50 large trunks and more than
5000 smaller ones, and is nearly 1000 feet
in circumference. Other banyans cover
more than thirteen acres.

No spirit is wholly cast off from God if it
