ForsalSe Us Not in Our Sorrows, Lord
(Written for The TiInes.)
These unredulted loves, that to and fro
der-ihroughout this saddened earth
dissatisfied; that pant and munger sore,
For but a cr,,nlb from loves dear hand
Have gracious mercy on these. Lord.
And draw them nearer, close to Thee
These arid lives that are consumed by pain
That only know of rushing drops of rain
That from beneath panied eyelids flow
Having loving mercy on these, Lord,
And draw them nearer. close to Thee.
These bleeding hearts, dear Lord, whose
storms Of woe
Have traced with fiery anguish each sad
face
Because to them, comes neither quick nor
slow
Life sweetest. best elixir-honeyed love
Have sweet compassion on these, Lord.
And draw them, Saviour, near to Thee.
These breaking hearts. that know not
where to flee
When bleeding, sore and tempest tost
with grief;
That cry for refuge from the binding sea
OF bitter pain, that overwhelm their
souls.
Have tender mercy on these, Lord.
And draw them very close to Thee.
These breaking hearts. dear Saviour. cali
to Thee
Inv loving care Thy help they plead;
Thou art their helper and to Thee they
flee
Because Thou bldst them cast all care
on Thee.
Then heed their cry, Thou Son Of God,
And hold them, fold them, close to Thee.

lands, and it is argued that these
mines can not be developed prop
~ under the government system in
vogue.
The tract under discussion is sit
uated in the northwest corner Of
the reserve and embraces a terri
tory OF about 45O square miles.
Judge Hepburn argued the point
in person before the commissioner
at Washington early in July, but
the only concession he was able to
obtain was the building Of road
into the Buffalo Hump district,
and permission to do that did not
arrive until September, when the
road had already been built.
Speaking of the tract for the open
ing Of which he made application,
Judge Hepburn said: 1.-THE min
eral wealth of the district we want
probably exceeds the value of the
forest. The area has been pros
pected, and work on it shonld he
encouraged as much as possible.
The men who get out the wealth
should have the free use Of
the timber, rs is done in the case
of other government land. l
think I have the support Of all the
operators in the section, and / do
not think the government can
fairly oppose the point"
