A FAR CRY TO HEAVEN.

rolled back on the strand,

the smoldering brand,
The past summer harvest now golden through
mubble lands naked and scar,
The winter gray woods upgather and quicken the
leaves Of last year,
Thy prayers are O. clouds in q drouth; regardless,
unfrhtful, they roll;
FOR this, that thou prayest vain things, It's far
cry to heaven my soul
Oh q far cry to heaven
Thou dreamest the word shall return, shot arrow
like into the air,
ne wound In the breast where it lodged be
balmed and closed for thy prayer,
he ear Of the dead be unsealed till thou whisper
boon once denied,
Thy white hour Of life be restored, that passed
thee unprized, uDdescried'-
FOR this, that thou prayest fond things thy
prayers shall fall wide OF the goal;
God bloweth them back with breath, tis far
cry to heaven, my soul
Oh, far cry to heaven
And cravest thou fondly the quivering lands shall
10 firm to thy feet,
The brackish pool Of the waste TO thy lips b
made wholesome and sweet
And cravest thou subtly the bane thou desirest be
wrought to thy good,
As forth from poisonous fower bee ccnveyeth
safe foodY-
For this, that thou prayest III things, thy prayers
are an anger rent scroll;
The chamber Of audit is closed-'us far cry 70

Oh, O far cry to heaven.

Aged by Mental Disquiet.

Mental worry and disquiet, arising from
any cause, is the strongest agent in
laying" men or women. 1t is an inces-
SAINT source Of exhaustion to the vital
forces. You do so exhaust yourself when
you worry about your business, your fam
lily and about anything. 1t carves lines
on the face and bleaches the hair. A
peevish young woman at 20 will look old
at 30, because her peevish or worrying
thought represents so much of her force
used to tear her down instead Of building
her up.-New York Star.

A Newspaper Mans Vacation.

Several newspaper men were speaking
of how generous the proprietOrs of their
papers were in granting them vacations,
when fellow named Skaggs remarked:
Eyes, l worked for one Of those fellows
once. | asked him one day If he would
give me O vacation. He replied that the
granting of my request would give him
great pleasure. | went away and stayed
three weeks"
"Well," some one remarked, was there
anything wrong about thatY'
"About the vacation? Oh, no. The
vacation was all right, but the proprietor
made it too long. When l went back he
told me to let it run on. That was five
years ago, and it is still running on. Very
kind in him, must say, but one trouble
arose. He stopped my pay."-Arkansaw

Shaking the curtain fold Of sleep
That shuts away

Through shadow and through sun

Dead years send back

When sun and sky sweet;
In happy noon.

One benefit which the farmer who sur
