HALFWAY.

The years that steal your youth away
Come drifting on come drifting on
Like snowf1akes that endure p day
And then are gone.
Upon the hearth is blazing bright
An open fre-I sit and dream,
And thiRk how far into the night
And storm its ruddy glow doth stree m
And then, within my heart, tonight
The fame of youth flares up once more
To shed gleam of flickering light
Through all the dark that lies before.
And all the lost come back once more,
And all the dead things live again,
And footsteps echo on the fosr,
And faces press against the pane.
Aad now I try 80 hard to catch
A whisper from the forms that pass.
To touch the hand that lifts the latch
The lips that trenble on the glass.
And seek to check the rising tears
For sweet dead joys and loved ones
gone,
For memories that like the years
Come drifting on-ceme drifting on.
My fire burns allow, but through the
gloom
Comes stealing in the gray of dawn,
The shadows scurly frem the rsom
Till all are gone.
And morn is here-the storm is past,
The room is filled with ruddy day:
But on my head is drifting fast
The snow that never aaslts away.

IF he be fine scholar or college
professor let the fact te announced
before he begins to preach
or he may not be appreciated. O e
who will be guided IN all things by
e2ch member Of the church, no ma -
ter how widely they may differ.
We expect our pastor &to welcome
and seat all persons.
Some of our members prefer home
to foreign missionary work, although
they never pay dollar to either, and
by using a little Adiscretion he can
work in harmony with both.
The preachers wife must be per-
feet lady, do her own work and al
ways be dressed in style to entertain
callel5. She must combine the most
ridgid economy with the most lavish
hospitality. She must be a very
intelligent, progressive woman; but
she must r member that the majority
of our congregation have a great
horror for stony-minded women.
The preacher must use every mes rs
in his power to preserve a youthful
appearance, hut will lose caste if de
;ectei in color h's hair or wearing
false teeth.
We would like "a pale, spiritual
looking man with a srobust, healthy
appearance. Our people become
very much excited if minister is
seen standing around groceries o:
stores, so he must be wise and bu>
his supplies in the early morn, before
his congregation are stirring. Ifhe
would win the young smen from the
street it would be well to adopt some
disguise SO that he will not be reco2-
aized. He should not be disturbed

'Ge S1ckedness of the people before

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3.-The steamer
Jeanne, q tender Of the Arcdc whaling
feet, which arrived from Herschel Islands
yesterday brings news that Captain Porter
OF the steam whaler Newport, reached 20
degrees north latitude, the most northerly
point ever reached by man. Newport
wintered at Herschel Islands, and this
summer, aided by an open sea, worked
his way north while in pursuit OF whales to
81 degrees, within six degrees Of the North
pole. There the ship stopped, but had the
Newport been supplied with dogs and
sledges the North pole could easily have
been reached by travelling over ice.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-Ths difaculties
In the way Of securing o compromise on
tho repeal bill become moro and more ap-
paront every day, because OF ths differ
ences which exist in the democratic cham.
Der, principally ON the question of issuing
bonds. Some especial champions of the
administration insist that u silver is to be
coined to tho extent OF seven or eight hum
dred million, as proposed. In order to pre-
servo the parity OF gold aud silver, IL wall
be absolutely necessary to procure o
greater supply Of gold. The position 10
combatted by . majoeity of the silver
democrats, and many Of them announce
their unalterable opposition to II. The
discussion has also developed the fact
that there are sono democratic senators
who favor repeal who will not vote for the
: bond issue because Of the bad effect which
they think the adoption of such policy
would have upon tho party. Unless the
bond question can be In some way elm
mated from tho measure. Il seems impos.
sibic for the democrats TO agree upon tho
bill as party measure.

Special Dispatch TO the standard.
LIVINGSTON. Oct. 3.-Coroner Shawk re-
turned to-day from Cokedale, where he
held an inquest on the body Of Frank
Wise, an Austrian coal miner. Last
Thursday Wise left Cokedale alone to 20
hunting. Not returning search was begun
and yesterday his lifelcss body was found
two miles south Of Cokedale. There was
q charge Of buckshot in his right side aud
his whole lower jaw had been shot away.
Tho evidence ut the inquest failed to show
whether Wise was murdered or not. II is
believed, however. that he was. aud that
robbery was the incentive. This theory IL
borne out by the fact that his shot gun
could not be found and that his watch and
money were gone.
