win be still;
The terror drawing nigh
Shall startle from my lips no coward cry;
Nay. though tho night my deadliest dread
fulfil,
win be still.
For OH know,
Though suffering hours delay,
Yet TO Eternity they pass away,
Carrying something onward as they flow,
Outlasting woe
Yes, something won;
The harvest OF our tears
scncthipg unfading, pIucISed from fading
years,
Something TO blossom on beyond the sun
From sorrow won.
The agony,
So hopeless now OF balm,
Shall sleep at last, in light as pure and calm
As that wherewith the stars look down on
thee,
Gethsemane.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.


Ivory ornaments, unless carefully cared
for, become yellow. They are very
easily cleaned aud with little trouble
will look fresh aud retain their luster for
long time. The simplest way TO clean
them is 10 brush them with n new tooth
brush, but very sharp, 10 which little
soap is applied. Then rinse the orna.
ment in lukewarm water. Next dry IL
and brush until the iuster rcappcars. A
little alcohol poured upon the brush will
increase this lustor IL the trinket has
become very yellow dry it in gentle
heat. The yellow will soon disappear
and the ornament look as good as new.

Pensions to Prisoners and a Service

the rebellion. 1t provides that
each man in the military or naval
service of the United States who
was a prisoner of war Tor GO DAYS
or more, and who is now suffer
ing from any disability which can
reasonably be presumed to be the
result of exposure and hardships
endured while in confinement as
a prisoner of war, and not the re-
suit Of his own misconduct or vic
ious habits. shall be paid the
pension now provi led by law for
similar disabilities, provided
that no person shall be allowed
10 receive more than one pension
Under proper regulation and ad-
IninisiTation The provision would
be but simple act of Justice
There are, beyond all doubt, a
certain number Of men who have
been rendered by the hardships
of prison life unable 10 earn an
adequate support, and who are
not entitled TO a pension under
the ordinary pension laws, gen.
erous as these are. The number
is not very great, and it is likely
10 decrease pretty rapidly in the
course of time. Another provis
