wash off the dust on the way. From
the top Of the grave we catch glimpse
of the towers glinted with the sun
that never sets.
oh, We whose locks are wet with the
dews of the night of grief; we whose
hearts are heavy, because those we'll
known footsteps sound no more at the
doorway, yonder is your rest! There
is David triumphant; but once he be-
moaned Absalom There is Abraham
enthroned; but once he wept for Sarah.
There is Paul exultant; but he once
sat with his feet in the stocks. There
is Payson radiant with immortal
health; but on earth he was always
sick. No toll, no tears, no partings,
no strife, no agonizing cough, no night.
No storm to ruffle the crystal sea. No
alarm to strike from the cathedral tow
ers. No dirge throbbing from sera-
phic harps. No tremor in the everlast-
ing song; but rest-perfect rest-un-
ending rest.
Into that rest how many loved ones
have gone! Some put down the work
of mid-life, feeling they could hardly
be spared from the store or shop for
day, but are to be spared from 1t for
ever. Some went in old age. One
came tottering on his staff, and used
to sit at the foot Of the pulpit, his
wrinkled face radiant with the light
that falls from the throne of God.
Another having lived life of Christian
consistency here, ever busy with kind
nesses for her children, her heart full
of that meek and quiet spirit that is in
denly her countenance was TRANSPORTED
and the gate was opened, and she took
her place amid that great cloud of wit
nesses that hover about the throne!
Glorious consolation! They are not
dead. You cannot make me believe
they are dead. They have only moved
on. With more love than that with
which they greeted us on earth, they
watch us from their high place, and
their voices cheer us in our struggle for
the sky. Hail, spirits blessed! now
that we have passed the food and won
the crown. With weary feet we press
up the shining way, until in everlast-
ing reunion we shall meet again. OH
won't it be grand when, our conflicts
done and our partings over. We shall
clasp hands and cry out, This is
heaven?"
BY the thrones of your departed kim
dred, by their gentle hearts. and the
tenderness and love with which they
now call you from the skies, beg you
start on the nigh road to heaven. In
the everlasting rest may we all meet.

To most people a tallow candle APP
pears more in the way of necessity
than a luxury, but the Russian blue
jackets who are enjoying shore leave
just now from the Rossit and the Ad-
miral Nakimoff appear to find in as
similating candles of the Chinese make
as much gusto as an English child
would have in eating sugar stick.
The other day party of stalwart Mus
covite bluejackets were to be seen along
the Queens road, and the avldity with
which they polished off joss candles
was a sight for the gods. Some of the
men, who were evidently petty officers,
elected to dine off candles as thick as
ones arm-regular No. joss pidgin
arrangements and streams Of grease
trickled from the corner of each mans
mouth. British and American jacks
like their beer and rum, but they draw
the line at Chinese-made tallow candles.

In troublous times the wisest and
best OF men and women are preserved
from inward disturbance and insanity
because they fully believe in the silent
activity and supremacy of truth and
goodness. They see that in this human
world of ours there is a great deal going
on besides disorder and corruption, vio-
lence and misery. The late Doctor Fur
ness of Philadelphia, once said to a
friend, 1.-THE devil makes much noise
and show with his work, and alarms us
all; but God is silently busy all the time
in a world He has made to His own
hand; and He does infinitely more,
while we think nothing about it."

families, including eighty persons; the
second is Fort Sells, in Colorado, where
We have settled fifteen families, in
GLIDING seventy persons, so many of
whom are from Chicago that they call
1t a suburb of Chicago. The number
OF people in this colony is limited only
by the amount Of capital at our dispo-
sal. Our third farm is called Fort Her.
