by contemporary. The common fly lays
more than hundred eggs. aud the time
from egg laying to maturity is about tw o
weeks. Most of US have studied geometri-

Let US take to our hearts q iesson-no braYer

From the ways of the tapestry weayers on the
other side of the sea.
Above their heads the pattern hangs: they

And while their fingers deity move their eyes
are fastened there.
They tell this curious thing, besides. of tho pa-

He works the wrong side eyermore. but
works for the right side ever.

That he secs his real handiwork-that his mar
veleas skill is learned.

him for all his cost
No rarer. dantier work than his was ever done
by the frost,
Then the master bringeth him golden hire. and
giveth him praise as well,
And how happy the heart of the weaver is no
tongue bat his own can tell.
Tho years of man are the looms of God. let
down from the place of tho sun,
Wherein sc are weaving ever till the mystic
web IS done
Weaving hlinaly, but weaving surely. each for
himself his fate:
We may not see how the right side looks, we
can only weave and wait.
But, looking above for the pattern, no weaver
hath need to fear,
Only let hirn look clear into heaven-the Per-
feet Pattern is there.
IL he keeps the face Of the Saviour forever and
alway in sight.
His toll shall be sweeter than honey. his weav-
ing is sure to be right.
And when the work is ended, and tho web is
turned and shown,
He shall hear the voice of the Master; it shall
say to him, well donel''
And the white winged angels of heaven. to bear

And God shall give him gold for his hire-not

When the symmetric insolence of my tower
Awed the pale heaven that braves my anger

And shrink baforc my awful silhouette.

far better SO sweet dream, so comforting

death means total annihilation. Better to

horror Of a Robespierre. Better to close
the eyes of our departed dear ones softly.

belief that those closed eyes and hushed
lips will speak love to us again when the

Better to look upon the coffin of the mater

Tho Universal Strife

A cricket fed on an insect
Too small for eye to see,
A field mouse captured the cricket
And hushed his minstreisy.
A gray shrike pounced on the field mouse
And flung him on a thorn,
And hawk came down ON the cruel shrikc
From over the waving corn.
And a fox snrang out on the red tailed haws
From under fallen tree,
For bird aud beast, by flood and field.

Considerable interest is taken here in the
Columbus convention and such of the Ohio re-
publicans as could not attend satisfy them
selves by predicting sweeping victory for Mr..
Mckinley this fall.
The report thst Mr. Sherman will seek no in
dorsement from the convention is received
with considerable satisfaction by those who had
feared that there might be an open aud bitter
factional fight in the convention between the
supporters of Mr.. Sherman and those Of Gov.
Foraker. The prospect of this being sup
pressed it is thought relieves any danger to Mr..
Mckinley from the rivalry of these two leaders.
THE WORK IN THE CAMPAIGN.
1t is expected that during the campaign there
will be a sharp struggle between the two fac
tions to get control of the legislature but Il is
thought that this will help. rather than injure.
the chances Of the state executive ticket, as il
will make the campaign more active and bring
out more votes. With the thing settled before
hand that this or that man should have the
senatorship if the republicans controlled the
legislature, those who were thus left out Of il
might sulk. The field being open for all. how
ever, gives all al interest in success.
CONFIDENT OF ELEcrINa M'KINLEY.
The republicans are, of course, confident of
the election of Mckinley this fall, and the
democrats are generally contented to claim
that if he does not get big majority il will be
no victory for him
The chief danger in his way, If IL really
amounts to danger, is in the opposition to
him which is said to exist among the farmers
who have come TO oppose increased tariff taxa
ton and are disposed to act with q third
party.
Gov. Campbell whom the democrats are ex-
'pected to nominate is said to be popular in tie
rural districts, but is confronted with perhaps
