THE LIFE DIVINE.

When mid thy common days God sends
thee one,
A day whose radiance OF earth and sun
Is mated to thy souls responsive mood,
And thou with open eyes seest all things
good;
When the Lord speaks 70 thee in flower and
bird.
And opens up to thee His hidden word,
And grants the long-held answer to thy
prayer.
A day when suddenly thou art aware
or truths own message to thy heart re-
vealed
And leaping to thy lips by love unsealed;
Oh, then give thanks and praise, for come
what may,
The Holy Ghost hath shared thy life. one
day.
But IL the morrow bringeth thee again
into the world of sinful, needy men,
Eager to tell thy message and to give
Gospel whereby dying souls may.lve;
And To- the carpng world will not believe
The heavenly sign, nor yet thy words re-
ceive;
When thy new speech thy brother doth Of
fend
And thou art but dreamer to thy friend
Then, as thou seekest comfort from thine
own
And fndest thou art eft with God alone,
Re1oice with JOY that none shall take away,
For thou hast shared the life of Christ. one
day.

RAILWAYS AND SABBATH REST
One Great System Finds 1t Profitable
to Give Its Employees One
Day in Seven.

The cause of Sabbath rest has been
injured in years past by the running
OF Sunday trains, which necessitated
and endless chain of Sunday labor. 1t
will rejoice everybody who is inter-
ested in this reform to learn that it is
now being strengthened by the rail-
ways themselves, which in times past
have done so much to weaken it The
principal officials of the big trunk
lines have long appreciated the fact
that it was business wisdom to give a
man one-seventh of his time for re-
cuperaton and that of all yocations
this is more true of the railway service
than OF almost any other. Where
Sunday traffic has been largely sus-
pended more work has been actually
accomplished in six days than was for
merly done in seven, and even the roll
ing stock OF the roads seemed to show
the benefit of complete cessation from
toll. The result was no perceptible de-
crease in earnings, but a decided de-
crease in wrecks. Considerations OF
this nature, no doubt, have led the Of
fcials OF the great Chicago & North
western system to notify all of its
connecting lines of other railways that
hereafter no dead freight" will be re-
ceived by that company on Sundays
between seven a. m. and seven D. m. AS
consequence, says the Rams Horn,
fully 5000 of the men employed in the
operation of freight trains on the
Northwestern system spend their day
OF rest at home, and the general Off
GERS Of the company do the same. Ac-
cording to the latter the innovation of
providing a Sunday at home for en-
ployes Of the operating department has
proved great success. One Of the of
ficials says: Reports received from all
over the system show that the men APP
preciate the rest, and go to their work
Monday in happy frame of mind and
ready to hustle. We do not experience
any inconvenience from reducing
freight movement to live stock, perish
able shipments and fuel, and find that
we are in good shape Monday morning
We do not see why the plan cannot be
followed from this on, and believe
that 1t will result in benefit to our
men and to the company, as WELL" On
all branch or country" divisions Of the
system scarcely any trains are moved,
and on the main line divisions the
movement is reduced by at least 60 per
cent In the terminals of the COM
pany at Chicago and other large cities
fewer freight engines are at work on
Sunday than at any time in the last
40 years. When all the railways Of the
country follow this splendid example
1000, 900 toilers will be released from
seven-day bondage. If something now
could be done 70 suppress the screech
OF the Sunday newspaper we might
dare hope that the delightful days were
returning when the Sabbath Of our
fathers, with its restful quiet, could be
enjoyed once more.

clouds which had lowered over that
section, the temperature had been IA
vorable to the growth and develop
ment OF the fish, and there was. for
some reason, a sudden precipitation
which covered the land area near my
place with fish. That was the whole
explanation of the thing
But there had been another little
incident in my career which gave OBJ
GRAFTON to the same principle, and
again established the accuracy Of the
theory which science has promulgated.
1t happened in the same section of the
country, and was no doubt brought
about by the same conditions. But
this other peculiar happening did not
rebound to my material benefit.
did not get q mess of fish out of it.
Nevertheless, it excited the keenest
imaginable wonderment, and while my
stomach did not profit, enjoyed a rare
mental feast as the result of it all.
The shower was not quite so heavy
as the black bass shower, though it
was Of longer duration. I had noticed
the same peculiar atmospheric condi-
tons which obtained prior to the heavy
shower of black bass. But the storm
blew up from a different direction,
from back in the marshy regions,
where the frogs and tadpoles hold high
carnival, and where they are as thick
in breeding season as hair on a dogs
back.
'The sight which I beheld on this
occasion was even stranger than what
happened during the raining of black
bass. During the showering l could
hear something hit the ground, and it
would give out a sound something like
a hollow rubber ball, and would bounce
up and down. 1 started out to make
an examination Of the ground. The
ground was very hard. 1t had been
caked by the sun. These little black
objects, rebounding when they hit the
ground, presented one of the strangest
sights l have ever seen. We'll, sir
after the rain was over / went on the
outside to make an examination of
the ground. The ground was literally
covered with frogs and tadpoles of all
sizes and conditions, and 1 never saw
a more conglomerate lot of hops in my
life. Breweries? Well, that joke is
too old to spring. But the point ID
that it rained frogs and tadpoles in
large quantities. BY the way. what
is the matter with the idea OF fishing
in midair, when we get to flying
around in air-ships, after awhile? But
that is another story, as Kipling would
say, and I'll tell you about 1t some
other time" and the old fisherman
knocked the ashes out OF his pipe and
meandered.

which is not remarkable for its appre-
citation of the romantic in marriage may
be in some way accountable for his pro-
sale views regarding the honeymoon
tour.
In this instance the newly made Bene-
dict, whose name was Paul Erhardt, was
not pressed by business matters, his
simple and sole excuse for not accom-
panying his wife being that he detested
travelling. Though a man of As, he had
never been ten miles from the German
capital, and saw no reason why he
should after this state of things simply
on account of having married. He had
thought to get over the difficulty by not
having a honeymoon at all, but to this
the bride objected.
Thea Mr. Erhardt, whose bump OF un-
selhshness had evidently contracted in
his youth, thought that wedding trip
without the groom would be something
of a novelty, and suggested this unique
method Of solving the difficulty to his
wife, who, after some expostulation,
agreed to take a couple of weeks holt
day in the company of her sister. re-
turning to her husbands house at the
end Of that time.
A curious honeymoon, in which nearly
the whole OF the time was spent by the
bride and bridegroom looking for each
other, happened to a couple who were
married at Syracuse, N. Y. After the
wedding ceremony Mr. and Mrs Edward
Thompson, who were both deaf and
dumb, started on their honeymoon trip
with every prospect of having a long and
| happy time.
Mr.. Thompson was wealthy, and the
| couple had decided to go to California,
