Evening Song.

come to Thee in humble prayer,
never yet have come in vain;
Lift from my heart the days dull care
Now, that the shadows fall again.
/ often think what calm content
Dwell in the house at Bethany
When the loud hours of day were spent
And Thou vert with the family.
Still shine the stars of Bethany
Toward the earth, as white and fair,
Still dwells Thy tender sympathy
Wherever those, who love Thee, are.
L am q wanderer from my home,
Come knocking at the door again:
Here shall l wait till Thou says't: "COme,
The feast is ready; enter In"
Open the door and let Thy child
Walk into rest for one brief night,
And let his ~sins-Christ undefiled-
Fall from him like the waning light.
Sweet is the sleep where Thou hast stilled
The stormy passions of the day.,
And into dreams, with quiet filled,
Its noise and labor fade away.
60 let me rest until the sun
Shall call me to my work again:
Then let new day, in peace begun,
In peace toward its end attain.
Or, should I pass with hated breath.
With silent lips, without a song,
Into the gloomy gates of death,
Ipray, dear Christ. go Thou along.
Be courage to my fainting heart,
Be guidance to my faltring feet,
And when the darkness swings apart,
Be Thou the first mine eyes to greet.

Youths Hope and Disiliusion.

Oncethought I that the world was made for me.
AND Ae alone, 1t was so glad and free;
Bright flowers bloOmed and bl0ssOmed in my
road,
Kind hands were near to help me with my load,
And Nature seemed to speak with voice divine,
And whisper that the world was mine all mine.
brought,
That not for me this great word had been

But I for it. So bowed I down to Fate
Which ruled my future, and, d~iscOns0late,
Waited until to me should be conveyed
The worlds caprice, for which / had been made.

Autumn Rain.

item for the Sunday Journal.
Autumn Rain.
All the clouds are OVERLOOKING,
Weeping for the going,
And the leaves
In the woods and h0llOws sleeping,
All the ow-voiced winds are sweeping
Into funeral trains, or heaping
Into graves.
Where, so late, athwart the meadows
Chased the checkered summer shadows.
Billowy waves,
In rude bundles, banded tightly,
Stiff and stark in ranks unsightly,
Stand the sheayes.
Miles away the mists descending
Blend in fallow fields. amending,
Furrowed far and NEAR,
Underneath whose soinber ridges
Sleep the strange, mysterious pledges
Or the vernal year.
And the robin, and the Jay,
And the squirrels, red and gray.
And the rabbits, hide away
In the woods.
Der the hilltops and the valley,
In the cedar and the holly,
Everywhere. grim melancholy
Sits and brOods.
And the drops are ever dripping.
Dripping from the caves, n slipping
Into crevice, crack and granny,
With their wizard, weird, uncanny
WhIsperings of uncouth fancies,
Born Of goblin necromancies,
And the patter of the rain
Autumn rain
OF the soft, continuous p~atterofthe rain.

Punished for Asking Questi ons.

The Bishop of the Mexican State of
Tamaulipas is not a man to be trifled with.
A short time ago eight hundred of the
bishops flock addressed him q letter asking
what had become of the silver plate given
to one of the churches by their grand
parents. Such a question was in the high
est degree embarrassing and impertinent.
The bishop considered the matter, and then
accommodated the entire eight hundred.
The letter of accommodation said moth
ing about the plate. After such a lesson
the people of T~amaulipas will doubtless
mind their own business. and let the bishop
alone. They will find it best to let the dead
past take care of itself.

The tide ran low, ran very low. ran out;
Autumn had settled down upon the land,
And winters face, the face OF death, was sweet
For there was calm, an end of strife and doubt.
Strange grew the common sky, the wonted strand,
Since here no more our loving eyes could meet,
No more the aching heart and wearied feet
Rest by loves side and hold his tireless hand.
But one day, walking by the morning sea,
There rose a wave of SUMMED and of youth
That broke resistless through grief narrow bound
And wrought LIES past. and present, and to be

The imperishable joy swept in without one sound.

HAY, OATS AND POTATOES.
This Years Leading Crops In the
Pine Tree State.

AUGUSTA, October 2.-The Maine Farmer
will tomorrow publish in detail its autumnal
review of the grain crops gathered by its cor
respondents in every part of the State. In
summarizing their statements, the
Farmer will say: "Hay of course easily
remains the leading crop, with oats and po-
tatoes following The hay crop leads that
well secured by those who were active in the
field early in the season. The laggards Sc
cured a somewhat damaged crop, the penalty
of procrastination. or the apple crop we
NAV say that much of the fruit was blown
from the trees in an immature condition.
The crop is light, and good deal of 1t is
wormy. Good apples will bring better
price than last year. There has been suffi-
cient rain for the pastures, feed having been
green and luxuriant through the entire sea-
son. This had beneficial effect upon the
products of the butter factories.
"The business of associate dairying has
steadily been on the increase, and this Is
coming to be one Of the leading industries Of
the State. Stock is in splendid condition. In
some localities potatoes arc cut short, not so
much on account of the rot as the rust.
| There is about twO-thirds the usual crop.
| There has been but very little rottlng since
digging.
"Horse raising is ON the increase, encour-
| agement being given to the rearing of sub
stantial family horses. The corn factories
| have had prosperous season, no frost inter-
fering with sweet corn. We are glad to state
| there seems to be revival in the good old
| fashioned custom Of raising Indian corn,
| The fairs this fall have demonstrated that
| fact The grain crop was good, far above
| the average, but the rains at harvest time
| greatly damaged the product"

LITu RcY AND NAME.
Important Questions Before the
General Episcopal Convention.

NEW YORK, October 2. Nearly every
year there is held in this city a religious con-
vention of much importance. Last year the
Methodists had their innings at the Metro
politan Opera House. This year the Episco-
palians are here and they have come
In great numbers from all parts Of the coun-
try to attend the triennial meeting OF the
general convention.
The convention, the Importance OF which
cannot be underestimated, began its work
this morning at IL O'Clock at st. Georges
Memorial church in East 10th street, and will
be in session daily for month to come.
The deep interest manifested In the pro-
ceedings of the convention Is best shown by
the facts that every ticket of admission has
been eagerly taken up and the available
supply is already exhausted. Letters have
been received from every section Of the
ing for seats at the convention, and also re-
questing that arrangements be made for
board and lodging accommodations.
The organization Of the convention will
be after the usual custom Of former years.
| Bishop Williams of Connecticut will preside
In the House Of Bishops, and Rev. Morgan
Dix OF this city will govern the proceedings
| Of the clerical deputies and lay delegates,
Mr.. Buchanan Winthrop will probably be
reelected treasurer and Rev. DR.. Hutchins
will undoubtedly continue as secretary.
Regarding the proposed changes In the lit
urgy and the change in the name of the
church, it Is impossible to predict what the
outcome will be. One thing, howev er, Is
pretty certain: No radical changes will be
made without spirited opposition and possi-
bly, warm discussion. The lay members es-
pecially are, as body, opposed to any fur
ther tinkering with the prayer book and
hymnal, and believe that well enough should
be let alone.
