1t is now claimed by one scientific
gentleman that the earth herself is
one huge dynamo. This may make
a little difference with some of those
people who have seemed to want the
earth-for nobody really wants to
be on very familiar terms with a
dynamo.

The Monitor., 1891-10-16

For my heart was heavy with untold woe,
foreverything seemed to go wrong,you kn ow
twas one ofthose days whose cares and strife
Quite oyershadow the good in life
SO lone and sad meath the twilight stars,
wandered down TO the pasture bars
TO the pasture bars meath the hillside steep,
Where patiently waited a flock OF sheep
For the happy boy, with whistle and shout,
Who was even now coming to turn them out.
"Good evening" said he, with boyish grace,
And a smile lit up his handsome face.
He let down the bars: then We both stepped
back;
And 1 said: "you have more white sheep than
black"
"Why, yes, ,"he replied; "and didn't you know?
More white than black-why, It's always So"
He soon passed on with his flock, round the
hill,
But down by the pasture l fingered still,
Pondering well on the words of the lad:
"More white than black, ,''more good than bad,
More joy than sorrow, more bliss than woe:
More white than black"'and" tits al ways so.''
And since that hour, wher troubles rife
Gather and threaten to shroud my lite;
Or see some soul on the downward track,
l cry, aThere are more white sheep than
black;''
And thank my God that learned TO know
The blessed fact: it is always so.
-Seleeted.
However, if we see some soul on the
downward track. aud say, there are more
white sheep than black our duty is
shirked if we do not make an effort to call
them back. Is the opinion OF RUTH.

tion must and shall be in the heart and
hand of the old and young, so that these

down to coming generations as a renewal
OF their oath and allegiance to their flag

And when YOU stand by those humble

ICan storied urn or animated bust:

Can honor's voice provoke the silent dust9

Not In vain have ye perished. -
