HOW THE WORK GOES ON.

Toiling on mid the ripened grain
VI the yellow and bending fields,
Many skillful laborer
a giancing sickle yields.
SLineth the sun at morning hour
On busy hearts and hands
The noontide glow and westering beams
Light myriad toiling bands
Nor tarrieth long enough the day
For the zeal of these workers true;
In the morn's clear light and in somber night
They are found at their tasks anew.
Are these reapers unwearied, of stalwart
strength,
And forms of giant mold?
Does the harvest they CLEAN bring rich return
In wealth of shining gold?
Why, look We WE'LL They are womankind
Who are toiling night and day,
And the harvest gains they eagerly crave
Are the souls of men, they say.
Where the demon of drink a battle has
gained,
And men have goue down in the fight,
Where youthful hosts, unScathed as yet,
The enemy's blows invite;
Where tears are flowing, and hearts are rent.
And desolate homes stand somber and
grim;
Where Heaven bends low if souls repent
Where He leadeth they follow Him.
With head and heart and hand they work,
With word persuasive, with song and
prayer,
With dauntless endeavor and spirit brave,

| When the sheaves are gathered and the gar

Is safe from the blight and the blasting
storm

A COLD CHILL.

He through the window sadly gazed
Upon the fallen snow:
A somber look was in his eye.
His face was dark with woe.
In solemn silence there he sat,
His head in sorrow bowed,
As though his hope were buried deep
Beneath yon wintry shroud.
His heart was drear, and DER his soul
There crept deathly chill,
At thought of how 'twould beggar hin
To pay that plumber sbilI.

!" THOUGHT AND SORROW"

Twin sisters / deem We,
Pale Thought and deep Sorrow;
Each her lineaments seem yo
From the other to borrow.
The same grave expression
Ye1depict on man face,
And like plaintive depression
On his features We trace,
On woman's pale brow We
Both carve the same lines,
On man forehead pillow We
Like care-wrinkled signs.
With the same sad still light
Each eye do ye kindle;
We make it more bright
Or its fieriness dWindle.
In the same deep-drawn way
Sigh alike Thought and Sorrow
He who thinks deep to-day,
He who BODIES i'll tomorrow.
The lips curve sedate
Ye linn in like fashion,
To mark thoughts that are great
Or Griefs mournful passion.
To each other We lend.
In men younger or older,
The same earth-ward bend
Of head and of shoulder.
Mems slowsheavy gait
In like manner ye share;
Ye both crawl at the rate
OF men burdened with care.
Words I'm common. as penslye."
Ye partake, Thought and Sorrow;
Each, her terms apprehensive
From the otherye borrow.
IF diff renee between We
Perchanee there might be,
IT'S the difference mainly
That Is " of degree"
Ifpale Thought wear an air
Or somber ungladness,
Sorrow hath, as her share,
More positive sadness.
Or urge we more Just
Thought doth doing imply
While Sorrows part must
In mute suffering lie.
Yet are sufferin and doing
In true issLo the same;
Each IN rest of mans going,
Each his vigor may tame.
If the rapt air OF Thought
We call fifty abstraction"
While Sorrows onslaught
We say ends in distraction"
Both terms but declare,
BY coeQual concession,
Thought and Sorrow both share
Alike lost self-possession.
BY your kinship, what mean We,
Pale Thought and lean Sorrow
That your features are seen, We
Share likeness so thorough
Does it mean that deep Thought
is by Sorrow attended,
And that Sorrow is taught
BY deep Thought to befriended?
Does 1t mean that while life
Needs must grief find or borrow,
Mems Thought is aye rife
With objects of Sorrow?
Twin sisters deem ye,
Pale Thought and lean Sorrow:
Each her lineaments seem We
From the other to borrow.

Sleeping Cars with Bath Rooms

Well, it has been generally supposed that
about all of the art and invention of the
world in the matter of securing comfort for
the railway traveller have their home in the
United States, and particularly in Chicago,
and yet up in British America last week l
struck the incest thing 1 ever saw on wheels
1t was a sleeping car with a bath room. 1t is
a nice tub and there is plenty of room, and
all the hot or cold water a man wants, and
everything nice, clean and coy. The charge
is only fifty cents, and during the two days
that was on the car there wasn't a paSsen-
ger aboard who didn't have at least one bath
day. And every man and woman of them
swore that the luxury would have been cheap
and desirable at double the price l believe
Pullman could make money by putting bath
tubs in all his cars. and just as soon as he gets
to believing this way he'll put them in. 1t
isn't the comfort for travellers that he cares
about, but the profits, you know, as he's run
ming his cars for all there is in them. A good
bath tub would beat some of his gimcracls
all to pieces, so far as real comfort is con-
cerned. The Canada Pacific company has
quite a number of sleepiBg cars fitted up with
baths.-ChiCagO Herald.

across the horizon from the memory of an
elderly lady who knew her well. 1t was in
the time when Boston was the great actress
nominal home, and her summers were spent
here and there in rural Massachusetts. She
had engaged a worthy neighbOr to be her
charioteer during the season of one of her
country sojournings, and they were setting
forth OH their first excursion. With kind
hearted loquacity he was beginning to ex-
patiate on the country, the crops, and the
history of the people round about, when
Fanny remarked, in her imperious, dogmatic
fashion: "Sir. I have engaged you to drive
for me, not to talk to me!'
The farmer ceased, pursed up his lips, and
ever after kept his peace When the vaca-
ton weeks were over and the dame was about

The new design VIII at once be accepted as
an improvement upon that now in use. II
consists of one piece of engraving instead of
two pieces, as on the present card. A head
of jefferson, miniature portrait after the

central place on the upper third of the card.
Over this head, in light letters, are the words

words postal card" in distinct letters. I'm
der the head are the words "one cent" and
beneath the border line inclosing the designa-
ton of value is the line. Nothing but the
address to be on this side" The design is
graceful and light, and its advantage over
the old one is that the idea of putting the
stamp off at one side and the designation
of the article at the opposite side is aban-
doned to secare an exclusive design with
the strongest feature of it in the center

Poetf,aI Child of a Prosaic Mother.

The human race seems to have weakness
for weather prophecy. The various signs in
which mortals put their faith are almost as
numberless as the mOrtals themselves. On a
calm, bright day last week, with only a few
flaky clouds to be seen in the distance,
a Chicago and NorthwesteS train was
scudding along toward Lake Geneva. In one
of the coaches was a matrOn who was worried
about good many things, and among them
the weather.
Il do believe It's going to rain," she said,
petulantly and unpoetically; Il feel it in my
bones"
ooh, no, mamma" replied a 5-year-oId
miss, whose nose was fattened against the
window, and whose pretty eyes were gazing
eagerly at the fitting landscape and horizon;
ooh, no, mamma, it won't rain The clouds
are out in their nice blue and white dresses.
When they have their ugly black dresses on,
then it rains. Chicago Herald.
