Be on Watch.

Be on the watch for Jesus
 Hear what He hath to say From hour to hour, and He will shed His light upon thy way, For every swift winged moment
 His messenger shall be Bearing, within its narrow bounds Some word from Him to thee. Be on the watch for Jesus!
 Be careful lest you miss One tiny token of His love,
 His presence, or His grace. He toucheth thee at every point,
 In common things, or rare; Go forth to meet Him, dearest heart. Thoult find Him everywhere. Be on the watch for Jesus!
 Until thy vision keen Grow quick to recognize His form, To other eyes unseen. Oh keep thy heart for Him alone! And so shalt thou abide Beneath His shadow; with His love Forever satisfied. Be on the watch for Jesus !!
 He'll come again for thee. Guiding the tops of yonder hills
 The suns first rays see: Soon the full blaze of glory
 Shall meet thy longing eyes, And thou to crown thy coming King With the redeemed shall rise,

FROH EARTH TO HEAVEN.
Little OrylIIe Orton OIds Asleep in Death.


 Bright eyed, rosy checked little Or vile Orton Olds. the four and one-half year old Eoy of Mr.. and Mrs. Olds, of Juneau, died yesterday morning at five o'clock. His death is supposed to have resulted from eating something of a poisnOus nature. He was a very bright, good natured, happy little fellow, who was universally loved by all who knew him. It is unnecessary to say the pa rents are prostrated over their almost uncomfortable bereavement. Human tongue, and the condolence of kind friends offer no solace to tho grief stricken parents. It is as natural to die as to live, and yet how sad to part with those we dearly love What can we say to comfort the loving parents? Only that he still lives to greet you in that great beyond from whence no one ever returns.
