AS human nature is constituted it Is
impossible for all men to look on the

though not infallible, when truly fol-

ness in the pursuit Of evil. This monitor
whispers loudly that 1t is wrong to OPP

man, and tells US plainly that all COM
binstions founded in selfishness and
cupidity are wrong. All generous
sctions meet with its ready approval,
while all tina. ssvors OF svarice or

THE GRANDAAI.

Harriet Prescott Spofford)
OlG, old, the life behind her lay
Like a long country full of light;
She gazed there with the inner eye,
For round her here was falling night,
But turned across her path to see
What lovely splendor crowned the
height!
And as the Fates once trod on wool,
All sounds came muffied to her ears,
net still her fancy heard the tune
e or bubbling laughs, of frolic fears,
OF tender whispers in the dusk,
Grown tenderer because of tears.
The gay sweet spirit in her felt
The joyous movement of the dance
Albeit her faltering feet refused
The tripping measure. If perchance
She sang, alas! the sad old voice
Was like one singing in trance
So fresh. so strong in all her thought
That, by the cruel mirror spelled,
Or in the glass of young girls eyes,
1t seemed a phantom she beheld
Masqued with gray shadows of gray
ines,
Enchanted in a shape of ED.
And knowing then the soul in her
Swelled, ever swelled with fine increase
And essence Of immortal youth;
So she possessed that soul in peace,
And sat the slow bright Summer day,
Smiling, and waiting her release.

LOVES VISITOR.

SEQ her in the near light-in the far
light.
In the morning, when the beam is on
The dew.
In the evening when the simmer Of the
starlight
The tangle of the vines comes peepius
through.
And her eyes as in the fair and faraway
time
Are beautiful and tender; and her
cheek
Is fragrant with the freshness of the
Maytime,
But the rosy lips are silent when
speak.
Perhaps the woven love words that
bring her
She treasures in sweet silence little
worth!
She'd rather hear the songs Gods an
gels sing her
Then listen to the lowlier songs of
earth
Yet wherefore from the seraph-guarded
portal
Beyond, where streams the dark, divid-
ing sea
Whose waters lave the shore we name
immortal,
In light and night comes back my love
to me?
Forever comes! O doubling
heart! no heaven

LITTLE PATCHED TROUSERS.

(By Hon. n. b. Vance)
How dear to my heart are the pants of
my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them
to view,
That pants that I wore in the deep tang
led wildwood.
And likewise the groves where the crab
apple grew
The wide spreading seat with its little
square patches,
The pockets that bulged with my lunch
con for noon.
And also with marbles and fsh-worms
and matches
And gum-drops and kite strings from
March until June,
The little patched trousers, the made-over
trousers,
The made-over trousers that fit me
too soon.
No pantaloons ever performed greater ser
vice
In filing the hearts of us youngsters
with joy;
They made the descent from Adolphus
to Jervis
Right down through a family of ten
little boys,
Through no fault Of ours known to me
or to others,
I'm the tenderest branch on out big
family tree;
and having done service for nine older
brothers.
They came down to me slightly bagged
at the knee.
The little patched trousers, the sec
ond-hand trousers.
The old family trousers that bagged at
the knee.

What an image Of peace and rest
is this little church among its graves!
Ali is so quiet; the troubled breast,
The wounded spirit, the heart oppressed,
Here may find the repose it Graves.
See how the ivy climbs and expands
Over this humble hermitage.
And seems to caress with its little hands
The rough, gray stones, as a child that
stands
Caressing the wriukled cheeks Of age.
You cross the threshold and dim and
small
Is the space that serves for the Shep-
herds fold;
The narrow isle, the bare white wall,
The pews and the pulpit quaint and tall,
Whisper and say, Alas! we are Old"
1t is not the wall of stone without
That makes the building small or great,
But the SOULS light shining round about,
And the faith that oyercometh doubt,
And the love that stronger is than.

Here would stay, and let the world
With its distant thunder roar and roll;
Storms do not rend the sail that is furled,
Nor like dead leaf, tossed and whirled
In an eddy of wind is the anchored soul.

ETIQUETTE IMP REACHEING TO
THE QUEEN.

A writer in The Culver tells of the ETH
quette to be observed in preaching before
the Queen. No personal reference to Her
Majesty is permissible. a pure Gospel dis
course being the rule, delivered as though
she were not present. Many have tried
to eyade these rules. The Queen likes
and enjoys n plain, practical discourse,
selected from the lessons or Gospel Of the
day, to occupy about twenty minutes in
delivery. Questions Of the day, and.
above all, politics, must be excluded.
A celebrated clergyman broke this rule
one Sunday and preached a strong polit-
ical sermon: but it was his last opportu-
nity-the royal pulpits have neither of
them been filled by him again.

so GUANO FIFTY YEARS AGO.

The guano of to-day cannot be so pow
erful a fertilizer as it was some fifty
years ago, when it first came into vogue.
There was Il number OF traditions that
have been handed down from lying faith
er to son telling Of its wonderful ef-
fects, not only on vegetation but upon
the human form divine. We now recall
a couple of them.
A farmer in Alabama had ordered from
the neighboring town a bill Of groceries,
among which were several sacks Of gUa-
no. The wagon reached the farm hOHse
after dark and as this is always an event
in country life the family gathered round
the ''smoke-house" to witness the an
loading. Among them was ten-year-oa
boy, small for his age, unnoticed, ne
fell asleep on one Of the sacks and was
locked up The following morning
an anxious search was made and wheR
the door was opened there stood ak
footer and broad in proportion.
The other strange, eventful story Was
in effect as follows: A gardener had eR-
riched his cucumber hills with guaRS.
When he deposited the seeds the resuh
was magical. The germ sprang instaA$-
" into life and finding he was being
encompassed by the vine he aed for hiH
life, the trailing vine in active pursHn
He ran at thetop of his speed several
hundred yards and fell exhausted. A
reseuing party hurried to his relief, bRt
found him smothered with the vine and
full grown cucumber in each Of the
dead mans pockets.

DIR. HILPRECHT AND BABYLON
Ian RESEARCH.


When we first become personally in
terested in any subject, we are eithel
surprised that everybody else is not also
interested in it, or we are surprised e
find that the subject is not as new Z
others as to ourselves. A new convert
to total abstinence, or to universal sur
frage, or to the prevention OF cruelty
to animals, is likely to wonder that any
body else can count any other subject
worthy of special attention in comparison
with the cause. A man who is suffering
from a broken great toe in consequence
of slipping down his cellar stairs IN the
darkness finds out, to his surprise, that
more of his neighbors than he dreamed of
have had the same accident happen to
them, with the same result, either recent
Nv or long ago. Here is a correspondent
from Indiana who has just learned in
directly of an important work done by one
of the editors of the Sunday School
Times. and wonders why The Sunday
School Times seem to know nothing o.
bout it. He says:
Although have been a subscriber and
constant reader OF The Sunday School
Times for more than twenty years, ]

years age, so that / don't feel SO back.

OF the New York Journal, there appeared
a most wonderful article, captioned rIhc

(Archaeologist) of the University of
Pennsylvania. From Discoveries of the
Exploration Party Sent out by that Uni
yersity." So important a discovery, made
by so excellent an institution, and not
mentioned by the worthy Editor of the
Sunday School Times seems TO me
strange, indeed.
DIR. Herman " Hilrreeht came to this
country in 1886, for the express purpose
of being on the editorial force Of The
Sunday School Times. He has continued
in that position to the present time, all
though he is now also Professor Of
Assyriology in the University of Penn
sylyania. For the past eight years he
has been connected with the Babylonlan
Exploration Expedition Of the University
of Pennsylvania, of the executive COM
mittee Of which the Editor-in-Chief Of
The Sunday School Times is also mem-
Der. He was on the first expedition TO
Nippur, or Nuffar, in 1888, and he has
repeatedly been to Constantinople in con
nection with this work since that time,
while responsible for all the decipherine
of the inscriptions discovered at Nuf.
far. DIR. Hilprecht's work has been
again and again reported in the columns
of The Sunday School Times. Full arti-
cles by him on this subject were given
here in the summer of 1892, and those
articles. with others, are published in
book form, under the title Of Recent
Research in Bible Lands" And now
our correspondent has seen something on
the subject in a New York Sunday news
paper. and wonders why The Sunday
School Times is silent on the subject. Il
does look queer.-doesn't it?

Wild is the way through the woodland

The signing, sad pines and the iessamiRe-
vines and the ril that leaps laugh
ingiy over
The lilies that rim 1.-THE shadows that
dim it, and there, winding winsomely
sweet.

And bark! tbs the song of the reaperss
and / know by it's jubilant ringing
There is gold in the CLEAN Of the harvest
and love in the hearts that are sing
ing;
And still Us Of old to the ether it's music
mellifiuous swells,
And the wind that sighs westward is
swaying the sweetest Of memory's
bellsl
Let me pass through the wheat and the
elever-O men and rose-maidens who
reap!
/, who come from the sound of the cities,
like child to its mother wculd creep;
For through long years Of tcars and Of
toiling, like harbor-bels over the
foam
! our voice far wingnR and ringing we're
singing me-singing me home.
And now, from the pain and the pleas
ure-from the sorrow and signing I
flee
Like the birds when the storm-winds are
blowing-like the ships seek the haven
from sea
And / fancy the yiolets know me I'm gar
dens Of beauty and bliss;
And do not the red roses owe ne the
peace Of the prodigars kiss?
The sun is still bright at the portal: there
the loye-light all radiant shines;
Heart! heart! there's a face we remember
in the tange and bloom OF the vines!
Far eff the glad reapers are singing far
off in the riyery wheat,
And the arms Of mother are clinging,
and the kiss of a mother is sweet!

(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox)
However the battle is ended though
proudly the victor comes
With huttering flags and pranciug nags
and echoing roll Of drums,
Still Truth prOclaims this motto in let
ters Of living light:
No question is ever settled until it is set
tied right.
Though the heel of the strong oppressor
may grind the weak in the dust,
And the voices of Fame, with one ae-
claim, may call him great and just,
Let those who applaud take warning,
and keep this motto in sight
No question is ever settled until it is set
tied right.
Let those who have failed take courage,
tho the enemy seems to have won,
Tho his ranks are strong, if he be in the
wrong, the battle is not yet done.
For, sure as the morning follows the
darkest hour of the night.
No question is ever settled until it is set
tied right.
o man bowed down with labor. 0 woman

triumphant might;
