1t VIII AL Be Right In Tho Morning.

We long for the brighter time coming,
And we watch for it early and late,
10 hear through the halyards the humming
That shall lift the dead sails of our fate,
Toleave Babelmandeb's sad gate,
And we sigh for it, try for it,-waitl
1t will all be right in the morning!
The lilies light up the brown water;
And the diamonds grow in the gloom,
And the moon is the midnight's daughter,
And the night-flowering aloe will bloom
As a trophy that garlands a tomb,
When the daytime has gone to its doom,
1t will all be right in the morning!
Half way up in his mounting the lark
Meets the morn in it's %earthward bound
flight,
And the carol born down in the dark
- Is a marvellous, lyric Of light,
Is a burst Of melodious might,
Is the 10 triumphe of Wight,
1t will all be right in the morningI
Nv.
In the graveyard of Arctic the dismal
Where the bones of dead glaciers are
oCIOWH,
Where they tower, the icebergs abys1nal,
Are the buds Of bright flowerets full blown,
There they cling to deaths borders alone,
And they thrill to Eurochydon's moan,
1t will all be right in the morning!
Through the long dim day of dull twilight
They reposel like a soul at a shrine.
T1oro ,,,,Jor A,,roraf, oo~,1> ,lr1;~LA
That memorial window divine,
At the very same intervals shine
As their sisterhood under the line,
It will al be right in the morning!
vi.
Twelve hours for unfolding and waking,
And twelve. for their slumber and sleep
Who told them when day should be breaking
Who taught them when shadows should
creep?
That the calendar true they SIN keep,
Faith arise like the moon loving deep,
It will oil be right in the morning!
Born trouble is better than borrowed,
Light and darkness are blent, but beware
OF the man who never has sorrowed,
The fine gold u%nalloyed is not there,
Let us come to the bridges of care
Ere their crossing Of danger we dare,
And the thought in our hearts ever there,
1t will all be right in the morningl
VIII.
If earth's weary burdens cure sorrow,
II the noblest Of triumphs denied
Are always beginning tomorrow.
If we fail to take time at the tide,
old friends wane ava from our side,
Still the trust and ths truth will abide,
1t will all DO right in the morning!

One of the striking peculiarities of
the earthquake is the terror with which
it inspires human creatures as we'll as
brutes. There IS no other fear which
resembles it known to tho human mind.
When the low rumbling is heard from
the depths of the earth all animation
seems suspended for q brief instant. The
very heart seems to cease to beat, and
the intellect becomes p%aralyzcd. This
condition of mind and body lasts but q
momcn 1t is followed by a terrible, but
vague fear of some awful danger, tn,
nature of which is quite incomprchensi-
bic. The mind jumps rapidly and with
out reasoning to the conclusion that
flight offers the only safety, and the
body acts upon the conclusion at once.
Men, women and children rush hcadlong
into the street, by the stairways, and
doors if they happen to be convenient,
by plunging from the windows if they
happen first to attract the attention. And
it is in this wild rush for imagined safety
that the real danger of the earth quake
lies, but no experience in the past has
been sufficient 10 enforce this lesson, and
the probability is that no expericnc e in
the future will impress it so wildly as
to render it of'any practical use.

THE MANIAC T

I'll, Aucc, you ought to have been
with us; we had a lovely time" and then
she added, as a truer thought lighted her
eye, "the inmates seemed to cnioy our
music so much that I think I mover tried
harder to acquit myself we'll, and 1 1atter
myself I succeeded, too"
well, Amy, I'm glad yoh went" re-
piled her friend; ''but visiting insane
asylums, to entertain the inmates, is not
exactly in my line; I always had an un-
comfortable aversion to every being who
is not in his right mind. I had q little
adventure once, too, which I can never
forget"
can adventurel I dote on anything
of that kind; do tell me about it," and
Miss Amy folded her pretty hands and
prepared to listen.
ut isn't much Of a story, Amy, but it
was a serious matter to me at the time.
You remember the visit I made to fathers
relatives in the eastern part of the statea
Soon after my arrival at Cousin Julia's, 1
met, at a little party one evening, the
most peculiar and, at the same time, the
most fascinating man I ever saw. He
was very large, swarthy as ON Italian; he
wore a heavy beard, dark as night; his
hair, which was of the same color, had
the most eccentric habit of standing
straight up from his forehead, in an ag-
gressive STYLE"
"Bless me! You call that a fascinating
mani"
"Just wait till I tell you of his wonder
full eyes. His eyebrows were very heavy
and almost met. OF course his eyes
were black, but they had such a peculiar
expression; they seemed to draw you,
somehow, even against your will. The
most trivial remark he made assumed
an Importance that no one else ever i'm
parted to it.
"From the first I was rather awed by
him, and he seemed to be quite attracted
by little me. I forgot to tell you his
namc was Mr.. Chase. He sent me music
and then gazed at me while I sang it un-
til 1 felt impelled to sing better than I
ever did before. He sent me flowers and
I wore his carnations, though, you know,
Idon't admire them at all, and 1 never
want to sec one again. Of course I was
teascd a good deal about my conquest,
and | really began to dread bis calls and
contrived to have someone present al
ways, as I feared he would ask me to
marry him and I did not know how to
answer him. One evening he found me
alone, and had just begun a most touch
ing remark when to my relief little Ettie
ran into the room and effectually put a
stop to sentiment. He left very soon
with a>sort of longing in his weird eyes
which impressed me strangely.
"The next evening my host remarked
to his wife:
"tPoor Chase has been obliged to go
back to the asylum; they took him to
Harrisburgh to-day.'n

"Um-um," he said, rubbing his chin
in a sclf-satisfed way, 81 think I could
marry other one of the girls if I felt dis
posed to make the effort"
"Yes9" replied his friend, with an
affirmation Of recognition and an interro.
'gative ncsation.
Yes I think I could. You see they
are gatting along toward the time when
girls are not unwilling to marry"

A large town is growing up around the
shore of Lake Elsinore, CAL, a sheet of
water which is seven miles long and
three miles wide. A peculiarly of the
town is that the people go from street to

the principal street of the town is circu-

The following facts become very
familiar to every student Of heredity.
When Oliver Wendell Holmes was
asked at what timo the training of Il
child should begin, replied: "a hun,
dred years before he is born. DR..
Strong says that the training Of a
child not only should begin hun
drod years before he is born, but that
it does begin then. Not only traits
Of character, but mental and physical
qualities of the great grandfather
appear in the grcat-grandchild. How
much ancestral forces have to do in
us what we are to-day is an
question for study"

Hard Times Easy.

The discordant song of "hard times"
is on almost every tongue, but practi
cally it is not responded to by the
great majority of our people. 1t is
tue the crops are short, and many
COMPLAIN that they have not the
wherewith to pay their accounts, but
the pressure has been greatly releiv
ed, by many coming forward and of
their poverty paying what they could,
i'his disposition to pay in spite of the
hard times, has put many dollar in
TO circulation which has rolled back
into the pocket of him who started it,
and in its generous round, perhaps
cancelled indebtedness to the amount
of one hundred dollars.
1t would require an iwmenso sur
plus to make everyone feel like there
was full crop. We suppose the best
crop ever produced fell short, to some
extent, of tho expectations Of the
planters. We over estimate almost
everything in the future This contri-
butos more than anything else to the
magnitude Of our accounts in the fall.
But there is growing desire among
our people to get even and keep even
He who uses everything he makes III
any year to pay his indebtedness,
will find no trouble in getting indul-
gence the next year, and that too at
small profits; for prompt payments
are what makes small profits poSsi
bic, The pressure will soon be re-
moved, and by the first Of january
every body will be happy i'll the con
temptation of big crop for 1887.

II there is dead law on the books
