Think of but self, and self alone
all day;
Think of thy pain, thy grief, thy
loss, thy care.
All that thou hast to do, or feel or
bear;
Think of thy good, thy pleasure,
and thy gain.
Think only of thyself it will not
be in vain.
Woulds't thou be happy?
Take an easy way;
Think of those around, thee-live
for them each day;
Think of their pain, their loss, their
grief, their care;
Ali they have to do, or feel or
bear;
Think of their pleasure, of their
good, their gain:
Think of those around thee-it will
not be in vain.
Thomas Carlyle.
The west-side has had glorious,
refreshing rains, and crop prospects
were never more promising; and
this, with many other blessing, may
have induced our people to turn out
in goodly numbers to hear Rev. Mr..
Garrett yesterday at the Baptist
church. At any rate a goodly con-
gregation heard the soul stirring
sermon on the Presence of God"
from the words God is among
Them" With great earnestness the
preacher plead for unity, harmony,
brotherly love, without which, we
could not realize the helpful presence
and blessings of God.
