From Pearson's Weekly.
Some time ago there was a food in Brit

nearly everything he possessed was sitting
on the roof of his house as it f1oated along
when a O approached.
Hello, John!"
Hello, Dave!"
Are your fowls all washed away

Carpe Diem.
We sigh and say that yesterday
The reddest roses grew,
The thrushes piped their clearest lay,
And Joy was alt we knew.
That, for our wiser selves, today
No flowers bloom half as fair.
No bird songs are as brave and gay
Since sorrow came, and care.
Yet when tomorrow hastens feet,
Shall we, remembering,
Not find today held gifts as sweet
AS yesterday could bring?

The Day When the Shoppers Shall Rise

The stars are spinning their threads.
And the clouds are the dust that flies,
And the suns are Weaving them up
For the time when the sleepers shall
rise.
The ocean in music rolls,
And the gems are turning to eyes.
And the trees are gathering souls
For the time when the sleepers shall
rise.
The weepers are learning to smile,
And laughter o CLEAN the signs;
Burn and bury the care and guile
Fol- the day when the sleepers shall rise.
oh, the dews and the moths and the daisy
red,
The lafks and the glimmers and fowsI
The lilies and sparrows n daily bread,
And the something that nobody knowsi

Moody, pastor of the church gave very
able, instructive and thoughtful dis
course, which met the cordial approval
and endorsement of those for whom it
was primarily intended, judging by the
complimentary references made by the
veterans OH leaving the church. Mr.
Moody said in part:
would direct your attention to this
subject, "Victory and its Cost, and ask
you to consider with me two statements
The first is found in Matt iii, l0-"And
now also the axe is laid unto the root of
the tree therefore every tree which
bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn
down and cast into the fire." Evil men
and evil institutions must fall before the
forces of righteousness.
The other statement is from Heb. tx,
% without shedding of blood is no
remission" A brief statement con
corning what it has cost and what it
will cost to rid the world of evil.
On the l4th of April 1861, Major
Anderson, with his eighty-fve valiant
men, after having endured prolonged
siege, ammunition and provisions being
nearly exhausted, evacuated Fort Stump
ter, carrying with him his tattered battle
flag, the first to be torn by Confederate
bullets. Just four years from that date
he had the privilege of again raising
that selfsame flag over the same old for
tress But what that privilege had cost,
YOU men who were at the front, and you
women who remained at homes know
right we'll. You who were at Gettys-
burg, where nearly $4,000 men fell, and
in the Wilderness, where men on both
sides were mown down like grass, you
who said, off my blood is needed to
atone for the crime of human slavery,
whose voice is crying to Heaven, that
crime which has rent my country asun-
der, my life shall be willing sacrifice"
Won know the meaning of the statement.
"Without shedding of blood is no remis-
sion"
As fell the tree of slavery, so must
fall every tree OF evil. We know this is
true because the victories of the past are
prophecies of the future, and because
the Leader of the hosts of righteousness
cannot know defeat New confidence
was inspired in the North when Grant
was appointed commander of the Army
of the Potomac. Much more should We
