AFTER THE RAIN.

AFTER THE RAIN.
Arthur ]. salmon In Good WorNls.A
The sunset on the waters breast
Is casting down its mellowed light;
The clouds are floating into rest,
Before the night
Now that the storm has passed away,
A parable of nature lies
On path and field, for those who say
That they are wise.
Beside the placid mere l stand,
And watch the ralnbow'S wondrouS STAN,
1 fragrance from the moistened land
Gives thanks for rain
A twitter from unnumbercd birds
That haunt the tangled howeTy ways
What is 10 but the simple words
81 OF love and praise!
We thank our Father for the light
In which His tenderness appears,
For sunny toys-forgetting quite
To thank for tears;
Forgetting. that His testament
Is written on the rainy skies
That blessed comforters are sent
For fearful eyes;
Forgetting he that goes in tears
To SOW upon field of pain,
Shall come when harvest-season nears
To gather grain.

Rev. G. w. Briggs.

The event of our Chautauqua last week
was the advent of the above-named eloquent
gentleman. His lecture on Saturday night
was on the subject of the changed condi-
tons of Southern women under tho New
South, or since the war, and was full of
interest and food for thought. There was
pathos in its solid facts, yet its tone was
healthful and hopeful. We ore not equal
to report. and if We were it would lack
the charm of its delivery, We may return
to this subject. His two sermons on Sun
day were of course of rare excellence, In
his lecture he fully sustained our viows on
the subject of universal education. We
feel that we could readily fraternize with
cultured, broad and liberal minded church
people such as DR.. Briggs.
