In quistness and in confidence shall be you
3O:l5
Canst thou not trust thy loving Lord,
@ child Of care and grief'
Thou coulds st not dearer be to Him,
He'll send thee sure relief
Tell Him thy sorrow, weary one
Lean on the strong for strength
Strive to be brave, for thou shalt know
His purposes at length
He loves thee with undying love,
He marks thy sigh, thy tears;
And not one single mournful sigh
Escapes His listening ears
He understands thy special need,
Rest, then, in His sweet will:
o let thy murmurings all be hushed;
Be patient and be still.
His image He doth long to see
Reflected in His child;
To have thee bright, and pure, and fair,
Meek, lowly. undefled,
So many things hath He to teach,
That thou must learn while here;
What seemeth now to thee so dark
Shall soon be made most clear
He'll keep thy heart from day to DAY,
Till life on earth shall cease,
And then He'll call thee to Himself
And Heavens unbroken peace.

A FAIR CONVENIENCE.
Four Great DOrmitOries to BE Run for
and by the Women.

fOur Nreat-DOrhltOrleS TO dc nun LOT
and by the Women.
UUder the auspices of the board of
lady managers of the Worlds fair, there
has been formed the Woman's Dormi-
tory association, the object of which is
to furnish cheap and comfortable living
quarters during the exposition to wom-
en- visitors, particularly those of the in
dustrial class and of limited means.
Four huge hotels or dormitories will be
erected. The site for one of them has
been donated by Geo. NJ. Pullman. 1t
is square only two blocks and half
from the northern entrance to the ex-
position grounds. This dorntitory will
be $50 by $50 feet, built in eight sec
tons, so that there shall be no inside
rooms, and will have capacity of 1,20O
persons daily. The rooms will be varied
in size and plainly but neatly furnished.
Sites for the other three dormitories
have not yet been selected. 1t is csti.
mated that 1870, 900 women visitors will
be accommodated during the fair. The
association will issue Sl25,O00 OF stock
in shares of five dollars each. No one
person will be permitted to buy more
than 800 of stock. 1t is expected that
industrial and other women will buy
the stock. Each share entities the own
er to its face value in room rent. The
rooms will be rented out for thirty cents
day. 70 what extent the association
will furnish eating facilities has not yet
been determined, 1t is believed that
women who desire to visit the fair will
find it of great advantage and conven-
fence thus to have place to which they
can go Immediately upon their arrival
in the crowded city, and where they
can find safe and comfortable lodge
ment. The dormitories will be manag.
ed entirely by Women.

A.. N. Pierce returned home from an extended
Western trip in the interests of Mishler Bros.
one day last week. and in a conversation, he said
he visited the town of Anderson. Ind, and made
some observations of that thriving little city.
He noted particularly the sentiment of progress
and push exhibited on every hand, and very
brief commingling with the business men re-
yealed the reason of its growth and prosperity.
Knowing that the people of Ravenna would
be very much interested to ascertain the truth
about the Arcade File Works that was driven
away from our city by an i'll timed opposition. he
visited the establishment, and says the reality
confirm ed all that had been given out concern
ing the business. Their buildings are all COM
pleted, and everything about ready for opera
tions to commence. The plant is mammoth
one, and on inquiry. he found that the company
will employ three hundred hands. Wishing to
post himself in every particular concerning this
industry he sounded the sentiment of repre-
sentative citizens. and found but one opinion
among them. They were all elated and much
gratifed over the splendid. solid acquisition,
and consider it worth all they gave to secure it.
They say it will add upwards of 1000 to their
population. and bring in class of intelligent.
thrifty people-the class. in fact, who compose
the bone and sinew of every thriving munich
pality.
Mr.. Pierce considers it the greatest loss Raven
ma ever sustained.
Our citizens can now realize what an opportu-
nifty they had. and will be able to refute by the
evidence of an actual visitant, the numerous
falsehoods told about this concern, and persist

those who realize full well the effect of truth

The Delhi New Era has reached
the conclusion that no people who
snbsist on cornbread, bacon and
black coffee can ever become a pow.
erful and vigorous people. One Of
the most needed reforms among the
common people of the South is a
change in their diet and the methods
of preparing it. The people Of North
Louisiana ought to be the best liyers
in the world. They occupy a soil
for fertility and variety Of production
can not be excelled anywhere on the
face Of the globe. Something to eat
should be the first consideration with
them, and if they will only produce
that, they can bid defiance to fnan-
cial panics and low.priced cotton.
Until they produce their own food
they will be comparatively poor, no
matter what price cotton may be.
