WHEN.

If were told that must die tomorrow,
That the next sun
Which sinks would bear me past all fear
and sorrow
For any one.
All the fight fought, all the short journey
through
What should lido?
I do not think that / should shrink or
falter.
But just go on
Doing NY work, nor change, nor seek to
alter
Aught that is gone
But rise and moYe and loye and smile
and pray
For one more day.
And lying down at night for last sleep
Say in that ear ma,
Which hearkens ever: +" Lord, within
Thy keeping ~,
How should I fear
And when tomorrow brings Thee nearer
still,
Do Thou Thy WILL
I might not sleep for awe but peaceful,
tender,
Ny sould would lie
All the night long and when the Morn
ing splendor
Flushed DER the sky,
I think that could would calmly
say,
It is His day -
But if wondrous hand from the blue
yonder
Hall CnrnlI
On which my life was writ, and with
wonder
Beheld unroll
Too long century g end itsmystic clew,
What should do9
What could do, o blessed Guide and
Leader,
Other than this,
Still to go on as now, not slower, faster,
Nor fear to miss
The road, although SO very long it be,
While led by thee
Step by step, feeling Thee close beside
me,
Although unseen,
Thro' thorns, thro' flowers, whether the
tempest hides Thee.
Or heaven serene,
Assured by faithfulness cannot betray,
Thy love decay.
I may not know my God, no hand re-
vealeth,
Thy counsels wise
Along the path deepening shadow
stealeth,
No voice replies
To my questioning thought, the time to
tell
And it is we'll.
Let me keep on, abiding and fearing
Thy will always,
Through long century's ripening fru-
ition, 1H
Or short days, t3g
Thou canst not come too soon, and can
wait
If Thou come late.

I From the Hayper's Ferry Sentinel. /


Mrs. Magnus Cockrell, on Shenan-
doah St., was the victim of painful
accident on Wednesday. While i'm
the neighborhood ofthe stove, attend
ing to her household duties, her dress
caught fire, upon discovering which
she rushed out on the street screaming
with fright. The strong wind then
blowing quickly famed the flames,
and but for the assistance oftwo pass
ing boys, who tore the burning gar
ments from her, she must have met a
terrible death.
How many people in Harper's Fer
ry have a perfect title to the property
they hold? A good many do not
have, as recent examinations have
shown.
Some of US are going to suffer Sc
verely on account of neglect. The
man who buys lot, and is to econom-
zeal, or too stingy, to have the title
properly examined by competent
and reliable party, is too foolish to
live in this age. Put your deeds on
record if they are good, II not get titles
that are worth putting on record
Many deeds are not worth recording.
Some such are on record at Charles
town.

PERCHERoN HORSES.

More than eight thousand Per-
cheron stations and mares have
been imported from France to the
United States during the last twenty
years, most of them within the last
half of that period. Some of the
largest importing and. breeding es-
Establishments of this country are de-
voted exclusively to Percherons. At
the same time there have been ex-
tensive importations of other breeds
of French draft horses. The benefit
from..thes acquisitions is seen in the
large number ofPercheron and other
French draft horses and their grades
employed in the large cities and on
farms throughout the country. Breed
ers and owners of these horses have
met with embarrassment at agricul-
tural fairs and other exhibitions on
account of differences regarding
classification. All French draft
horses were treated as one breed by
the managers of fairs and exhibi-
tions, though owners and breeders Of
Percherons claimed they we're sep
arate and distinct breed. At length,
to settle the controversy, the Illinois
State Board of Agriculture appoint
ed special committee, of which it's
president, Samuel Dysart, was chair
man, to ascertain and report the
facts. The committee made a thor.
ough inquiry in France, and consult.
ed the highest authorities on the
subject. Questions were submitted
to Eugene Tisserand, Director Gen
eral of Government Studs, Charles
Du Hays, editor of the government
stud books, and others. The result
fully established the claims of Per-
cheron breeders. M. Tisserand
stated that there were in France dis
tinct, clearly defined breeds of draft
horses, recognized as such, the two
most important being the Boulon.
Mas and the Percheron. OF the lat.
ter be said: "This breed is one oil
the most firmly fixed and we'll es-
tablished ; it is as much so as the
