THE SILENT RIVER.


Parts the silent river,
And stand upon the shore
OF the great forever,
Shall miss the loved aud known?
Shall vainly seek mine own?
Mid the crowd that come to meet
Spirits, sin-foi given
Listening to their echoing feet
Down the streets of heaven
Shall [ know a footstep neal
That | listen-wait for here.
Then will one approach the brink,
With a band extended;
One whose thoughts loved to think
Ere the vail WAS rended,
Saying Welcome have died,
And again are side by side"
Saying, 81 will go with thee,
That thou be not lonely,
To yon hill of mystery;
have waited only
Until now, to climb with thee
Ionder hills of mystery"
Can the bonds that make US here
Know ourselves immortal,
Fade away like foliage sere
At Iife's inner portal?
What is boliest below
Must forever grow.
| shall love the angels we'll
After have known them
In the mansions where they dwell.
With their glory round them;
But at first without surprise
Let me look i'll human eyes.
Step by step our feet must go
Up life's holy mountain;
Drop by drop within US flow
Life's unfailing fountain.
Angels sing with crowns that burn;
We shall have song to learn.
He who on our earthly path
Bids us help each other
Whu his beloved hath
MADE our EldeI bfO6ner-
Will but clasp the chain of love
Closer, when we meet above.
Therefore dread | not to go
Ger the silent river.
Death, thy fastening oar | know;
Bear me, thou life giver,
Through the waters to the shore,
Where mine own hath gone before!
It is said that a certain young
fellow in town not far away, has
recently broken his engagement with
a society belle of that place. For
some time his friends could get out
of him no reason for his most un-
expected action. But be finally con
fided to chum that he went to
church with his fiancee one night,
"Oh, that had Thousand tongues. -

Where is your Mr.. Pound Man that
he is not looking after the stray COWS
and horses? Three or four women
have told me this last week that theil
gardens have been nearly ruined by
COWS that we're allowed to run loose.
Think of working for months tC
make things grow, and then to have
all of your efforts trammeled under
a cows hoofs! Can any thing be
more discouraging?
Shut your eyes for a minute and try
to imagine jackson without any o
these gardens. 1t is like commun
ity with no women and children.
