Sweet patient Angel, may new strength be
 given
 While on our way to jewelled courts ot
 Heaven. Sent for a season, to guide us as we go Through earthly joys, and many ills which
 flow
 On all alike to test our worth, our ways, And make us worthy of those golden days Vouchsafed to all, who in their Holy trust Fulfill the charges, given to child of dust The weightier, that the wiser we may grow And drink the living waters, sparkling as
 they flow
 With diamond dew, refreshing weary souls Who, soaring upward, feeling not earths con trol, =s zs. TO such, joyful greeting shall be given And open wide shall be the gates of Heaven -fAlexander Hamilton, late Major-Genera United States Army.

 An ideal horse is one with good con- stitution, good stomach, brave heart, good limbs and pretty level head, and of course right way of going.

Moberly has just had case of wo-
mans sin and shame. Some weeks
ago the wretched woman gave birth
to a child of sin, which was sent to
the almshOuse. She resided in a
filthy home with her father. She
went away and was absent two weeks.
She then returned and for two weeks,
covered with dirt and vermin, with
out a physician and unattended, the
woman lay, until death mercifully re-
lieved her. She was a vile sinner no
doubt, but if ever Christian had a
fine chance to display Christianity, it
was in the case of that miserable
woman. Christ, it should be remem-
bered, turned not away from the leper,
loathsome pollution itself, but in this
day and generation gilded sin, is alone
worth saving and worth praying for.
Moberly held up her hands in holy
horror, she did as Sedalia would have
probably done under the circum-
stances, but it was not Christ-like-it
was not the fruit of His teachings.

1.-The intending visitor to the
Worlds fair should study the situation
before hand and decide in advance
what it is that he or she most wishes
to see, for vast as NAV be anticipations
as to the extent of the exhibition, it
will exceed all anticipations, and an
attempt to see everything will result
in all around disappointment. Thou
sands will remember their experience
at the Centennial of 1876, their miles
of walking, their infinite WEAKNESS
and the confused impression of great
number of objects half seen. Plans Of
the grounds may be studied and geh.

from the newspapers before leaving
home; a campaign laid out time

fusion and the fate of walking in a
circle like a lost person may be

Wisdom is to be sought from all
sources, and much may he learned BY

The Sunday closing question was
again revived at a meeting OF the
national commissioners in Chicago,
but Notwithstanding the fact that
thousands of working people will be
kept from attending if the fair is
closed, no decision was arrived at.
The cranks who succeeded in closing
the fair on Sunday may be trusted to
make fools of themselves right
straight along and the killer ought to
bag them at once.

THE BIG SHOW.

Tomorrow, should nothing untore-
seen happen, Chicago will be the
scene of the formal opening of the
greatest exhibition, in all probability,
the world has ever witnessed.
The thousands and tens of thousands
of exhibits, will not all be placed, but
enough will be, to furnish instruction
and entertainment for many more
than will be present, great as the at
tendance cannot help but be.
President Cleveland, with his cabi-
net, will be present and hundreds of
notable people from all over the
country will witness the opening
exercises.
Should the weather permit, flags
and bunting will add to the gala ap-
pearance of the city and nothing will
be omitted that will make the event
important In the fullest degree.
1t has cos. money, of course, to
bring such an array of the worlds
products together and it will cost
money to see them, but certainly
during the time it is to he opened to
the public, most of us can visit it and
can find something that will please as
we'll as instruct. So much there is to
be seen that individual tastes need
not be neglected and doubtless with
proper economy there will be a chance
for even those who do not possess a
Croesus purse. Those who
contemplate attending should
not decide hastily when they will
go, but should take proper view Of
the situation with the ultimate result
of seeing as much for their money as
possible.
To do this, however, haste should
not be considered, it is not seeing
things, to give them merely a glance
and then pass on to something else.
1t were far better to zee little well
than to seemuch imperfectly. Nothing
can be gained by rushing through the
fair, unless it be disgust and tire
which much resting cannot cure. Re

And ended up with poor dear John
Who wiped the moisture of his face
And vowed it was the coolest place
He'd been that night, froze him too,
And now hes mad, what shall do"
She unused little, then a smile
Broke DER her face and for awhile
She unused again, and then she took
Her lovely image from the brook.
At length one cold Noyember morn,
When John was feeding cattle, corn,
There came bundle by boy
Addressed to John, and to his joy,
A little dainty perfumed note
And this is what the writer wrote:
"Dear John. its verv cool to-day,
Wear this to melt the ice away"
He took the hand knit comforter
From out the box and thought OF her,
Exactly as he should have done
He put the royal beauty on.
And straightway to her home he rode,
And in her presence bravelv stood,
And bowling said, ats very cool

Beside our own hearth-stone as one"
