BE PATIENT WITH THE LIVING.

Sweet friend when thou and art gone
Beyond earth's weary labor,
When shall be our need OF grace
From comrade or from neighbor;
Passed all the strife, the toll, the care
And done with all the signing
What tender truth shall we have gained,
Alas by simply dying;
Then lips too chary OF the praise
VIII tell our merits over,
And eyes too swift our faults TO see
Shall no defect discover;
Then hands that would not lift stone
When stones were thick TO cumber
Our steep hill path will scatter flowers
Above our pillowed slumber
! Sweet friend, perchance both YOU and I,
Ere love 10 past forgivinR.
Should take the earnest lesson home
BE patient with the living
Todsy's depressed rebuke may save
Our binding tears tomorrow;
Then, patience, cen when keenest edge
May whet a nameiess sorrow.
'Tis easy 10 he gentle when
Death silence shames our clamor,
And easy to discern the best
Through memorys mystic glamour;
But wise IL were for thee and me,
Ere love Ia past forgivinR,
TO take the tender lesson home
BE patient with the living.
Good Cheer

CHINESE GORDON.
How His Unconquerable win Put Down
Rebellion.

I a
Rebellion.
Gen. Gordon was man who knew
how to use the decisive moment and re-
sort, If necessary, to the most extreme
measures in order to insure "A necessary
success.
When he was sent to aid in putting
down the Tapping rebellion in China,
he found the army of defence to be a
curious body of soldiers, Every availa-
bic man had been pressed into the serv-
ice, sailors without ship, deserters
from the enemy, jailbirds, pirates, out
laws, roughs and tramps of all nations
and characters. This was the self
christencd "Ever-Victorious Army"
When Gordon assumed the command.
he declared that there should be no
more sacking and burning of towns, and
when. against his orders. a city had
been plundered. he removed the officer.
who had condoned the offence, and re-
placed him by better man.
At this the troops rebelled. They held
a meeting, the result of which was a
round robin, stating that unless their
wishes We're consulted there would be
trouble. And there scds trouble but not
in the direction they had indicated.
The new commander in his turn called
meeting, and the discontentcd leaders,
growing and swearing, assembled in
the barracl> yard.
Now" said Gordon, appearing sud-
denly. fall in,''
They refused. From that moment
they began to understand him. Quiet
and unassuming as he had been. in an
instant he rose before them the embodi-
ment of passion and unconquerahle will,
The name of the ringleader. Quicky'
he cried. Out with il, or within an hour
one man in every five of You shall be
shot
This was received with a loud and
savage groan. One rutfian in the crowd
groaned a little louder than his fellows.
and quick as a fash of lightning Gordon
had him dragged from the ranks. and
ordered him to be shot. Within an hour
the rest of the valiant mutinecrs were
on their knees. rendering their submis-
sion and roaring for mercy.
In the fifteen following months he
had broken up the rebellion. saved mill
lions of money. and preserved countless
men and women from torture and death.
He had actually saved mighty empire
and throne, and. more than that. he had
won the love and absolute trust of h;sex
traordinary army outh' Communion.
