minister especially d1sflngulsheo s IGg M !,
New York is the author of several hymns
While this hymn usually is classified al
suitable for occasions of mourning, 1ts
thought has made it popular as song OF
aspiration at all times. Until recently i
was not found in any hymnal; but it now
Is coming into common use.l
I would not live Away; I ask not te
stay
Where storm after storm rises darb
DER the way;
The few lurid mornings that dawn or
us here
Are enough for life's woes, full enough
for it's cheer.
I would not live Away; no, welcome
the tomb!
Since Jesus hath lain there I dread
not its gloom:
There sweet be my rest till he bid
me arise,
To hail him in triumph descending the
skies.
Who, who would live Away, away
from his God?
Away from yon heaven, that blissfuI
abode,
Where the rivers Of pleasure flow o'el
the bright plains,
And the noontide Of glory eternally
reigns;
Where the saints of all ages in har.
nony meet,
Their Savior and brethren transported
to greet;
While the anthems of rapture unceas-
ingly roll,
And the smile of the Lord is the feast
of the soul.

Confederate stationery was a thing
no less unique and characteristic than
the other products of the time.
The writing paper, of a dingy-salmon
color, rough and furry, was ruled with
heavy, glaring blue lines, doubtless on
the principle that the plainness of the
landmarks should be in proportion tt
the difficulty of the way. But with this
paper, such as it was, at $40 a quire
and envelopes in proportion, 1t was re
sorted to only after every available bit
Of paper, every page Of old accounts,
whether already written on one side OF
not, and even the fy-leaves Of printed
volumes had been ferreted out and eX
hausted. Envelopes were made OF
scraps Of wall paper and from the
pictorial pages Of old books-the white
side out-stuck together in some cases
with the gum that exudes from peach
trees.
Ink had almost as many substitutes
as coffee, and with nearly as great
variety of results. Sumac berries
pokeberries, "oak balls" and green
persimmons set with rusty nails were
oftenest used in connecting the fluids
with which we blotted paper We
found that black gum roots made fair
corks. One Of the very few things, Il
not the sole thing, that could DC
achieved with a dime was to post a
letter. The 10-cent stamps, which were
small and blue, bore a profile TO Z"
appearances a compromise between
those of the rival Presidents.

probation OF grace, and saving our
own souls its supreme issue and end
A true man wants to move the
world If he can. He Is not satisfied
with taking stone out OF the way Il
he can lift the earth itself to loftiel
level. Ambition becomes aspiration
and inspiration when 1t is attuned tt
purpose is an eternal one. Nothing
temporal is big enough. The mist
may invest the mountain with a robe
Of beauty, but it is evanescent; anc
the petrified shaft of eternity will con
tinue to kiss the azure armament
when centuries of cloud and mist have
come and gone. He is utterly unw1se
who makes time the measure OF etef
nifty; the wise man makes eternity the
measure and mold of time. The mar
who is to move the world must have
his standing place in the invisible.
He can only lift it as he can rest his
lever on a fu1crum, without it; and
that fulcrum is faith in the unseen
God, and that lever is prayer which
links man with God.
The one grand secret therefore Is
to be In the will of God. That is the
secret place of the Most High, where
one dwells under the shadow of the
Almighty, not only security but sue
cess assured. From that hiding
place he cannot only escape the snares
of the fowler and the arrows Of the
pestilence, but tread upon the lion and
adder and tramp1e under foot the
young lion and the dragon. Thus
Christ Himself turned the culprit'z
cross into the conqueror's crown. Here
is the secret of service to men. The
man who has clear celestial visions II
the man to bless humanity on the ter
restrial plane.
Physical laws are memorable and

Slang TabOoed.

Slang is tabooed in the home of q
West Philadelphia family principally
because there is a bright little, girl
who displays a persistent aptitude in
retaining expressive but uncultured
phrases.

mother, father and daughter drifted
into the vernacular and a fresh start
was necessary. The little girl started
it. I'm not stuck on this bread, /"

appear mental symptoms-delirium
and profound melanchoHa. And SO
the disease goes on until death puts an
end to the patients sufferings.
This description is that of the dis
ease as it occurs in chronic form in
Italy. In this country it is apt to be
more acute and rapidly progressive,
without the winter remissions OBJ
served in the European cases.
Pellagra occurs generally only
among the very poor and those living
under the most unhygienic conditions;
but although poverty may predispose
to the disease, it's sole cause so far as
known is the eating of diseased maize.
This grain trouble is a corn-smut, a
form of mold which attacks the grain
stored in damp places.
The prevention is simpIe-the use
of flour and meal made from good
grain only; but in the conditions IN
der which many of the Italian peas
ants live, this is not so easy as it
sounds,-Youth's Companion.
