TO MARIE.

Written for the I~ntelligencer.
Say, MINSTREL why so slow to sing?
Thy harp so 10th to sOund?
The sweetness silent on each string,
Might breathe enchantnent round.
IT'S thine to soothe the wounded heart,
To dry the falling tear,
Thy harp may hope afresh impart,
The dropping oul to cheer.
Thy melting song may softly light
On memories buried long;
Call back to paths of truth and light
The lost n erring one.
Thou mayest a weary hour beguile,
For some heart panied and sore,
Who would forget their griefs awhile,
To list to songs of yore.
Thy harp was never bestowed to lie
All silent and alone;
Its inspiration is from on high
TITS sweetness all its own.
Then breathe thy song on every blast,
Nor deem thy labor vain;
Thy bread upon the waters cast,
Shall yet be found again.
The hand that sweeps the chords may
die,
But they shall vibrate IN,
And speak for vast eternity
Long after thou art gone.
All! then "lay not thy harp way"
MOI deem its breathings vain;
Tho weak may be the voice today,
The echo shall remain.
Then use the talent God hath given;
Thou mayest not use it long.
Sing of eternity-of Heaven!
Obi Minstrel wake to song.

LAFAYETTE AND JOHNSON ASSOCIATION
The Lafayette and johnson Baptist
Association, which cOnvenes with the
First Baptist church next Thursday
morning, was organized October Goth,
1874, at Mound Prairie church, with four
teen churches, containing about 1000
members, dismissed from the Blue River
association for that purpose.
The object of this association is thus
stated in the constitution, article 8: "The
business of the association hall be to
promote by all lawful means: 1. The
preaching of the gospel within its own
bounds. 2. General home missions in
Missouri and throughout the United
States. 8. Foreign missions throughout
the world. 4. Sunday Schools. 5. Relig-
ious and periodical literature. 6. The
cause of education in general, and of such
young men for the ministry as may give
indications of decided piety, and good
natural ability, and who I've the approval
OF the particular church of which they
happen to be MEMBERS"
Our mission is to give the gospel to the
world. aye are the light of the world
We are the salt of the earth. Go we into all
the world and preach the gospel to every
creature, beginning at jerusalem" We
must begin at home and work out, even
to the end of the earth, doing good to all
men. A missionary is employed for the
whole of his time to labor in the bounds
of the association, who breaches to weak
churches, and carries the gospel to points
where there is no church Organization.
Elder Jesse T. Osborn, who was reared in
this county, is the present faithful and
efficient missionary.
God has during the twenty years of its
existence, greatly blessed the work of the
association and the labors of its mission
grow stronger, and increased in NUMBER
SO that the original fourteen have grown
to thirty-six, with an aggregate member
ship of 3,64O, as reported at the last annual
meeting. 1t may be truly said, "God hath
done great things for us, whereof we are
glad" Let us then 'thank God, and take
courage"
But there remains yet much to be done.
In the territory of the association much
restitution prevails, to meet which re-
quires faithful and systematic effort.
Upon the chrches rest the responsibility
to supply the demand. Let all the MEM
bers of the churches then do themselves
the favor and their Savior the honor of
hearty cooperation in this work, and
come "to the help of the Lord against the
mighty"
"Bring We all the tithes into the store
house, that there may be meat in mine
house, and prove me now herewith, saith
the Lord of hosts, if 1 will not open you
the windows of heaven, and pour you out
a blessing, that there shall not be room
enough to receive it,"
There are in the association the follow
ing churches, namely: Aullville, Bates
City, Bear Creek, Chapel Hill, Concord,
Concordia, Corder, Dover, Elm Spring,
Euon, Greenton, Harmony, High Point,
HigginsvilIe, first; Higginsville, second
