KINDNESS.

Like sheltering rock when the simeon is nigh ;
Like spring in the desert empowered we
find:
Like rain TO the grass that is withered and dryI
Like dew to the flowers when the sun has de-
clined-
Us the angel of kindness, in sympsthy's guise,
To the weak and the weary, who faint by the
way;
Who faint and are sad, as nfe's cherished
prize
Is wrenched from the grasp in the heat of the
day.
1t comes like the rainbow. gorgeous and bright:
On the brow Of the cloud. portentous and
dread
It comes like the daybreak OF Gods blessed
light
When the night has been long and tears have
been shed
ITis the song and refrain that the glad angels
sang
When the Peace-Princs was Graded in power
tvs arms;
And good will to mortals from Heaven outrang.
Whose solace and succor humanity warns
D, these words are the sweetest on earth or in
Heaven!
Kindness and chsrity-peace and goodwill
fT1n love that is Godlike to al may be given,
And each human heart with kindness shall
thrill

SENATOR'S coNcERNep.

They Begin to Realise That the Business

WASHINGTON, April 26.-There are
Indications that the prevailing discon-
tent throughout the country among the
working classes, consequent upon
long period of enforced idleness, is
causing senators of the dominant party
serious concern They are beginning
to realize that the prevailing business
depression will continue until the tariff
question is finally settled, and are ex-
hibiting anxiety for rapid progress
While the republicans are arrayed
solidly against the bill. the dem
ocrats are divided, and until
this division is healed the managers do

conferences have been held by demo
cratic senators with a view of settling
| their differences and a disposition is
/ manifested to make concessions to the
conservatives" on the tariff schedules,

for the tariff bill There is no expecta-
| ton that an agreement can be reached
/ on the income tax, nor is there any like
| Hhood that that feature can be eliminat-
ed, although some modification might be
conceded A motion to strike out will
receive five democratic votes, but this
loss will be overcome by votes of re
publicans and populists to retain the

whether Hill, Murphy and Smith will
vote for the bill if the income tax is re
tanned The prevailing opinion, how

To Be Called Elijah.

Children have been admirably drilled
in Bible detail They know more
about it than three-fourths of their
Sunday school teachers They have
learned the story of Moses till they
can say it as pat as the multiplication
table. But do not find any living in
terest in Moses. There is one of the
grandest life stories in history, and
they seem to have no feeling
about it. And that need not be so.
1 remember one of my Sunday school
teachers in Chicago telling me how
trou bled she had been because she was
afraid she was not making the stories
of the prophets interesting to her boys.
But one day she was comforted, for she
heard from the mother of one of them
that the lad had come home the Sunday
before, and, after sitting silent
awhile, suddenly burst out at the din
ner table: We'll, I do think Elijah
was a fine fellow; and, if ever have a
