Hymns You Ought to Know
JERUSALEM, THE GOLDEN,
BY Bernard OF Cluny and John NJ. Neale.


Almost nothing is known of Bernard,
except that he WAS monk at the old
abbey OF Cluny, France, in the Twelfth
Century, and that he wrote a poem en-.
titled de Contemptu Mundi," in which
there occur the stanZas from which this
hymn and several others were translated.
pr. John NJ. Neale Mondon, June "a,
lSlS-East Grinstead, August 6, 1860 as
the translator, deserves much of the
credit for the great popularity of this
hymn.
Jerusalem, the golden.
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;
| know not, oh, l know not
What joys await me there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
They stand, those halls of Zion
All jubilant with song,
And brought with many an angel,
And all the martyr thrOng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
There is the throne of David;
And there from care released,
The song OF them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they, who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
o sweet and blessed country,
Shall | e'er see thy face?
y sweet and blessed country,
Shall | e'er win thy grace?
EXult, 0 dust and ashes,
The Lord shall do thy part;
His only, his forever
Thou shalt be and thou art.

SEvENTY.FIvE per cent. of all the
earth's cotton crop is grown in the
United States. and many will be sur.
prised to know that nearly two.thirds
of our cotton crop is exported. If
America had no cotton to export,
there would be widespread calamity in
the spinning and weaving districts of
England, France and Germany. As a
preventive Of such possible disaster the
European nations are paying great
attention to the development Of new
cotton-producing areas in India, West
ern Africa, Turkestan and Madsgas.

.. Sunday Welcome
Jake Bloch, when he was in Port.
land short time ago, selling whisky,
told this story:
81 halted at the cabin OF a King
county, Washington, squatter for a
drink of water when I observed that
there was considerable excitement
around, and directly man came out
and inquired if 1 was lawyer. 1 re-
piled in the negative and he said:
Wall, we want your opinion any
how. You.all come out yere."
Two other men and a woman came
out at his call and the woman stood
forward and began:
"Stranger, it's just this way. /
was married to this yeer critter on me
right about 10 years ago. One day he
started out to cross the river in a
canoe and l never seen him eny more
till last week. 1 thought he was
drowned for shore, and after q year I
married this critter on me left. One
day he goes huntin' in the swamp and
don't come back. reckoned that
he'd been snake-bit and after q year I
married the critter in front of me.
One day he got tired of life and took
rope and started into the woods saying
he was going to hang himself. 1
don't see him again till yesterday.
"Tere they are, the three of 'em,
all alive, and they are fussing around
now as to which is my lawful husband.
Each critter says he is, while l don't
want one of the three. What we want
to know is what to do
"'I'm claimin' her as my old wo-
man. said No. l..
"She was jined to me, and I'll have
her or bust" said No. 2.
"'Come to these arms said No. 3,
as be held them out to the woman.
Wall, stranger, how is it?' she
asked.
"'Well, you have surely been mar.
ried three times I replied, and you
have surely committed bigamy twice.
To get out of the tangle you have
got to have three divorces, and if you
marry a fourth time you'd better chain
the man by the leg to keep him with
you.'
"The four looked at me for some
time without speaking. Then the wo.
man picked up stout club and turned
to the men and said:
"I hain't gwine to all that trouble
to get shet of you. If you-uns don't
break fer the bresh befo' count ten
you'll get this club over your backs,
and you all know how hard can hit"
"The three hung in the wing for a
moment, but when she uttered yell
and swung her club and jumped for
them they made off on . run, and tho
bushes soon swallowed them up"

A NOTE OF CHEER.

Are you lying down to rest,
Weary friend,
With a load within your breast?
Prithee, friend,
Cast your fears and griefs away.
They are ended for the day,
And to worry n'er did pay;
Did it, friend?
Though the hours were full OF cares,
Tired friend;

Saddened friend;
Yet the promise says He will
Give us strength and blessing still,
And will help us through all ill;
Cheer thee, friend.

Buchanan's
Wife
By hsfus Miles ForrnAn

This is a story Of modern life,
the chief figure being a young and
beautiful woman who has married
unhappily. As a last refinement
of cruelty the husband decides to
evade his burdens and response
bilities, and disappears in such "A
manner that the wife cannot find
out if he is living or dead. The
way in which the woman dares to
face the cruel fate that mocks her,
and to wrest to herself the love
and happiness that should have
been hers by right, makes up a
novel and thrilling romance. The
story,of a woman's fight for love
has never been better told; and
while the book is bound to pro-
woke discussion, like The Mas
querader it neither ''preaches nor
teaches" but is simply a story
for the story's sake, characterized
by a certain unusual quality.

Another Welcome Mermaid.

The original idea OF the Mermaid Series,
that of presenting the plays Of the great
English dramatists Of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries in accurate, unex-
purgated texts that students could work
with and others could read with satisfao-
ton, was excellent. That Of reprinting the
series in convenient little volumes on thin
paper that take up little space and can be
carried about without trouble was even
better, and the set Of pretty books now
published by T. Fisher Unwin and Charles
Scribner's Sons may take it's place easily
IN the library Of every lover Of English
letters.
The newest volume Of the series contains
selected plays by George Farquhar, with
Introduction and notes by William Archer.
One OF Farquhar's plays at least, THE
Beaux' stratagem,' kept its place on the
stage in this country within tho reoollec-
ton Of middle aged people, and Mr.. Archer
mentions its revival In London In 1879.
They are bright, hvsty plays, even If they
may not deserve the place in literature
that Mr.. Archer assigns to them, Con-
siderine how little more Farquhar wrote,
IL may b regretted thst the edition was
not made complete, but there can be no
doubx that these are his four best come
dies, and that on them his reputation rests.
