Changes.

The present seems a favorable
time for mentioning the fact, no
longer to be denied even by
Grover Cleveland's most acrid
enemies, that he has the gift of
changing votes, of affecting the
verdict of the people at the polls
in a degree not possessed by any
other politician in the country.
Figures are the best champions
of his right to this distinction.

A Tribute to Hassel PAYNE Who Died
Sep. 16. 1891.

Our beloved Longfellow has said:
There is a reaper whose name is death
aud with his sickle keen
he reaps the bearded grain at a breath
and the flowers that grow between. y
Again have the truths of these beauti-
full lines been realized. Again has the
reaper come and plucked lair flow
er that grew between" The cradle
song tina. was heard but short week
ago has been displaced by funeral
dirge. The cradle, whose noisy rock
kept time to sweet music, is silent and
motionless forever.
Hassel Payne, the infant son of W.
b. and Ella Payne, came to gladden.
their hearts and home Dec, 1898. and
by his proposing smiles and sweet dis
position came to be loved and admired
by all who knew him. BE was the idol
of the household, the darling, the sweet,
fragrant flower of their home. The
writer called at his bedside at { 80 p. m.
Saturday and soon realized that the
hour Of dissolution was near at hand.
To the parents it seemed that nature
was unkind to thus afflict them, but
impartial fate with equal pace knocks
at the palace as the cottage gate.'' and
as he is no respector OF persons and age,
at 9 p. m. Sunday darling Hassel was
taken
The soft, signing wind but few days
ago so sweet and musical seemed
changed in moment to wierd, mourn
full strain. The stiffness OF the night
only added to the awful solemnity of
the hour. On Monday o little mound
was opened in the churchyard at Green
Valley. Rev. Conway preached the
funeral sermon from LIST Thess. fourth
chapter, fourteenth verse, after which
we were again made to teel how dearly
we loved him as the "dust to dust" and
ashes to ashes were uttered over the
little mound.
Parents, weep mott Hassel was loved
by us all, and we mourn him as dead,
but he is only sleeping, while our hearts
are made sorrcwful, yet we feel to re-
joice that one Of our richest and bright
est jewels to-day enriches the diadem
Of the redeemed. To-day we feel to
know that death has sealed two little
eyes
That no more will smile or weep.
Tiny windows of the soul,
Little Hassel,s gone 10 sleep,
He will find q fa1rer land
Where the angel voices sing,
Where the flowers shall expand
There shall loves fruition spring.
He has reached the golden shore,
Thro' river cold and deep,
Angels bore him safely DER,
Little Hassel's gone to sleep.

The Seven Bibles Of tIle world.


The seven Bibles of the world
are the Koran of the Mohamme-
dams, the Tri Pltikes of the Bud
dhists, the Five Kings of the
Chinese, the Three Vedas of the
Hindus, the zendavesta of the
Persians. the Eddas of the Scan
dinavians, and the Scripture of
the Christians.
The Koran is the most recent
of all, dating from about the
seventh century after Christ. 1t
is a compound of quotations
from both the Old and the New
Testaments, and from the Tai
mud.
The Tri pitikes contain sub.
lime morals and pure aspira-
tions. Their author lived and
died in the sixth century before
Christ.
The sacred writings of the
Chinese are called the Five
Kings, the word "kings" mean
mo weh of cloth. From this II
is presumed they were originally
written on five rolls of cloth.
They contain wise sayings from
the sages on the duties of life,
but they cannot be traced further
back than the eleventh century
before our era.
The Zendavesta of the Per-
slams, next to our Bible. is reck-
oned among scholars as being the
greatest and most learned of the
sacred writings. Zoroaster,
whose sayings it contains, lived
aud worked in the twelfth centu-
ry before Christ.
Moses lived and wrote the Pen
tateuch fifteen hundred years be-
fore the birth of Christ; there
fore that portion of our Bible is
at least threeh hundred years older
than the most ancient of other
sacred writings.
The Eddas, a semi-sacred work
of the Scandinavians, was given
to the world in the fourteenth
century. Missionary Rerie,e Of
