FAITH: A SONNET.

IT'S merest gratitude to praise our God
When Mays bright sunshine every object gflds,
When warm, spring showers kiss the blushing
fields
And patiently WOO the hard, parched wintry sod
Until new life springs forth from every clod
When proud dame fortune Cwho so cruelty
yields
Her magic wand) to our entreaties yields
At last, and graciously scatters her gifts abroad
But when sharp thorns bestrew lifes darkened
path,
When pains excruciate rend this mortal frame,
When sorrows, griefs and torments hurl their
wrath
Upon the bleeding soul, to be the same,
Mid all resigned and breathe no word of blame
But say, ''Thy will be donel'-this this is faith.

Interruption to Travel Threatened.

Travel on the river division OF the
Cleveland & Pittsburgh road is in danger
Of being interrupted by bad landslide
at a point about five miles north OF
Steubenvillc, near Browns station. The
slide is the result Of the rainy weather
Of last week. About six acres have
moved in all, and although the slide has
been checked by the present cold snap,
it will probably start again as soon as the
weather modera.es. The c. & ?. track
was pushed nearly two feet out Of posi-
ton Sunday afternoon. Yesterday trains
we're run pust the place very slowly and
carefully. A house occupied by family
named Shepherd is directly in the path
OF the unstable mass, and when a move.
ment again takes place it can hardly es.
cane destruction.
