TO DEATH.

o death, of sin the fatal foe,
the dread and blight of those below,
Who only earthly pleasures know,
O cruel death
To eyes of faith how changed thou arti
Thou bringest peace into the heart,
While sin and death for aye depart,
o friendly death!
When, through bereavement, we our eyes
Turn, for the first time, to the skies,
Thou art a blessing III disguise,
o miscalled death!
Thou art of faiths farreaching chain
The pearly clasp that knits the gain
OF heaven to earth's want and pain,
precious death!
Thou art the dawn from this dark night.
Thou dost long parted friends unite.
For doubt and trust thou givest sight,
o blessed death!
But. dearest to our hearts for this,
Thou art the first to give the bliss
Of seeing Christ, whom here we miss,
O glorious DEATH

Dissolution.

The alliance between the Cumber-
land ministers and hackmen has been
dissolved, seemingly with some reluct-
ance, but dissolved-apparently also
without the consent of the hackmen
In some sense the hackman, former
ly sort of drummer for his eccle-
siastical headquarters, is now out-not
literally son half time" but of half of
his job. He can look only to the gen
orally poor runaways for his fee.
Twelve ministers signed profuse
preambulary apology and lavish res
olutory promise of amendment. each
OF and for the others, and five. to
make dead sure of ''letting their light
so shine embalmed their disgust in
fadeless print.
One, however-Rev. J. W. Kuhl-
man, seems to think. like the JOUR-
NAL, that Caesar should be left to deal
with people-preachers as well as
hackmen--who do not render to that
monarch the things that belong to
him. He says:
The above manner of suppressing such de
graded practice cannot receive my co-opera-
ton, but the city authorities or government
should see to its prevention. May means be
devised of having it suppressed.
Anothel-Rev. T. j. Yost. makes a
statement which is suggestive enough
to start the ferret of the Frostbure
Ministerial Association on "a chase for
new game. He says:
A petition of this kind ought not to be
necessary among men chosen of God to fill
the office of the holy ministry, and cheer
fully sign my name, not only to discoun-
tenance this, but some other things in my
mind more disreputab BILE than fleeing hack
men,"
What does he mean
In the name and memory of Uncle
Sam, the martyred defamer who took
in vain the name of the Frostburg
Forum, what can he mean?
