THE WALLETS LESSON.
Alone. in a darkened valley

Alone. in a darkened valley
A tiny lake signing lay.
Nor dreamed that the mighty ocean
Was scarcely n league away
Naught of th,. seas wild beauty
That inland lake could know.
For with shadow and frown,
The hfllsides brown
Curtained the vale below
But an echo of jubiIent music
song-tide ebbing away,
Like voices in blended rejoicing
Came to her day by day.
And she longed. with a lonely yesrning
To rise from the vale and be free;
Then. triumphant and strong.
To join In the song
That came from the surging sea
She cried TO the stars in her sadness.
-Oh. give but a comforting word
To one who can only whisper
The praise of our King and Lord.
Can It be in this dark seclusion.
That am forgotten heref
That my days must be spent
In this sore discomfort,
SO helpless and gloomy and drears'
Brightly they smiled as they answered:
Dear little mirror true,
Take heart for the mother-ocean
Is beating her way to you.
The sound that we hear in the distance
Is only her billows' spray.
As II rises and falls
On these earthen walls
1t is wearing your prison away
Then silence your hearts repinine.
The letters will break ere long;
You shall join in the great thanksgiving
or the wonderful locean-song.
And over the swelling chorus
Comes the voice of the mother mild
We can hear her say.
Ger the dashing spray,
I am coming to thee. my child"
On came the waves. yes nearer.
Weak grew the walls of sand.
Louder the song and clearer
That came from the toiiing band
AT last. on a golden dawning.
Their labor OF love was done:
The lake found her place
In the seas embrace.
The mother and child were one
Dear Father. bear with US thy children.
Impatient for rest and home.
Oh. help us to quiet our murmurs.
And wait TIL thine hour shall come.
youchsafe US thy light giving spirit.
To teach us this dayithat we
With our foolish needs.
And orr inland creeds.
Are but part of the loves vast sea-

 Whereas, During his year's pastor ate, we have learned to love hinl for his fidelity. goodness and pictS; and
 Whereas, We, the official board and members of Lakeside. desire to ex= press our love and esteem for him aa well as his family. Therefore. be it resolved;
 That we cheerfully testify to his godly walk and christian deport- ment among our people, anti to his untiring efforts in lis work with and for us; and, knowing his worth as we do, we unreservedly commend him to our friends at Hope, deeming them fortunate in his assignment to their station.
 That our good wishes and prayers go with him and his family to their new field of la1or.
 That, whi.e We naturally feel a sense of regret at theseveranee of his relation with us. we in no sense com plain, believing the good Bishop deemed it for the best interests of the general convention to so assign him, and We rejoice in wise and conse- crated supervision that looks to the good of all sections of our great Methodism.
 But while we thus give expression concerning our retiring pastor, we would not forget our newly appoint ed pastor, the Rev. J. R. Gason. Many of IS know him personally we'll, and he already holds q warm place In our affections, and we as- sure him that, with open arms and warm hearts, we shall receive and welcome him and his good family to our midst, trusting that our associa- tions may be mutually pleasant, and that his ministry may Lbe abundant in good fruitage.

"The Yesterday, Today and To- morrow of Dixie was the subject of Rev Oliver w. Jennings lecture at the Merrill Institute last (Wedncs- day) night. The lecture was given for the benefit of the Christian Church in this city, and the ladies of that congregation had exerted themselves of the safe of tickets. Consequently the lecturer was greeted by a good- sized audience.
 Rev. Jennings treated of the condi- tions of the slaves and of the South before the civil war. lie defended the South's cause of secession. He spoke of the ignorant prejudice for merly existing in the North and of the contemptible misrepresentation of Uncle Toms Cabin. The lecturer paid beautiful tributes to the memo " of the South's idols, Davis, Lee, Jackson and other heros.
 Rev. Jennings presents a pleasing appearance upon the platform and his lecture was filled with interesting information regarding the history of the South.

rleotrioitx and nnlkx Horses.

One of the recent extensions of thS use of electricity is ill conquering a balky or lazy horse. A western Penn syIvania gentleman owned horse which he said was worth $1,00o, pro- vided ho could cure him of baking, It was suggested that he try electricity. He purchased three volt storage bat tery and connected it by wires with the bit and the crupper. The battery was placed in the road cart to which the horse was attached. At first the horse refused to move, but stood with all fouF feet braced. Then the owner touched the button connected with the battery. When the horse felt the shock, he snort ed, jumped and began to move off at 8 lively pace Every day for q week he was given tho same lesson. His owner, who does not care to self him, declares that now be never balks bites or kicks The West Pennsylvania Humane so- ciety, which investigated the method, came to the conclusion that a small amount of electricity used upon horse was moro humane than whip. -Ex- chonra
