AND FUTURE. =, no sad, regretful tears, es and joys that early metdecav; not weep for girlhood's gladsome years, . That glided Uko a pleasant dream away. I heave no sighs, no deep, heart-broken sj-^as. O'er hopes thut blighted earl v, faded fast; J raise to Heaven no complaining cries, As memory to the present brings. he past. The poetry of love, sweet love, I know, ijong since its cares and disappointment knew; As sitadoW8 did they come. as shadows go, ve boer, in sunshine, and in shadow too. ? know the hand, the great Almightv hand, That moves the mighty universe it made; -Blotted the fair designs ambition planned, And in tho gravo my earthly treasures laid. "Wisdom can seo tho end, and wisdom knew, Tho better why I did tot care to know ; Showed mo my path ray and my life work too, When in thc dust sho laid my idols low. Showed me a cross, the cross that I must bear, Nor e'er when weary, wayworn, lay it down ; . And said it must be so, if I would wear _ A crown of life, a fair and fadeless ci o ?\n. . I thought tho way alonely, tiresome way, The cross too heavy to be always borne ; I thought a heart whose hopes had met decay, Must be so desolate and so forlorn. I took tho cross, tho heavv cross with dread, To love, ambition, hopo, I bado adieu, -Henceforth a cross lo bear, a path to tread, Unborne, untrodden only by a few. A chango has come, a pleasant, happy change, I scarco know when it came, I scarce know how ; -V -?Tis like some mystery both deep and strange, The cross is changed, the way not tire some now. 'Tis still tho way, the straight and up ward way, A narrow and at times a thorny road; The cross though lighter still 1 bear each day. And 'neath its weight am climbing up to God. But there aro flowers, fair sweet-scented flowers, Scattered along thc pathway that I go; Me thiuks they drop from Eden's sonny bowers, They do not bloom on earthly sod I know. Some buds, sweot buds, just ready now to ope, And full blown roses on my path are strown, Love's roses these and thoso tho buds 01 Hope, Which buu and bloom in Paradise alone. A bow, the bow of promisespans my sk}', Its brilliant hues with beauty can adorn ; darksome cloud that often hovers nigh, And otherwise would overcast my morn. A voice, a tender, loving voice I hear, That whispers of a future home and rest; 'Tis distant music wafted to my ear, On heavenly gales from mansions of the blest. I see a hand, an ever helpful hand, That though I'm weary forward beckons me; Points to that city in a far off land, Whose spires and domes at times I dimly see. Sweet home! sweet rest! my home an? rest are there, There tho dear friends I loved so long and well ; With them that home, that rest I soon shall share. And in the paradise of love shall dwell. Cr? friend more dear than earth's best friend I'll see. And e'en at mention cf bis name will bow; His life and death give endless life to me, And bought a crown of life to deck my brow. And now the past is not a mourned for past, The present hath its streams of pleasure pure; The future's joys note?rth-born joys will last ; The crown of lifo is fadeless and secure. Beaver Falls. S. C. The Smali Worries. The Christian world has long been ue?sing what Paul's thorn in the esh was. We have, a book that in ten pages tries to show what Paul's ora was not, and in another ten If?'s^T?ies to show what it was. Many of the theological doctors have felt Paul's pulse to see what was the matter with him. We sup pose the reason he did not tell us what it was, may have been because ho did not want us to know, ile knew that if he stated what it was, there would have been a great many people from Corinth bothering him with prescriptions as to how he might cure it. Some say it was diseased eyes, soire that it was a humped back. It may ov?"b??7i neuralgia. Perhaps it was ut, although his active habits and a sparse diet throw doubt on the sup position. Suffice it to say it was a r thorn-that is, it stuck him. It was pharp. '2 It was probably of not much ac count in the ey PS of thc world. It frtras not a trouble that could be com [.pared to a lion, or a boisterous sea. ' lt was like a thorn that you may rhave in your hand or foot and no one know it. Thus we see that it le jtaomes a type of those little nettle worries of life that exasperate the Bpirit. Every one has a thorn sticking him. The house-keeper finds it in unfaith ful domestics; or an inmate who keeps things disordered ; or a house too small for convenience, or too small kept cleanly. The professional linds it in perpetual interrup iotiBor calls for " more copy." The ' ???ii-school teacher finds it in in centive scholars or neighboring achers that talk loudly and make a great noise in giving a little instruc tion. One man has a rheumatic joint which, when the wind is northeast, lifts tie storm signal. Another, a business partner who takes full hali the promts, but does not help to earn them. These lilals are the more net tlesome because like Paul's thorn ^?y are not to be mentioned. Men et sympathy for broken bones, and mashed'feet, but not for the end of ?harp thorns that have been broken off in the fingers. Let us start out with the idea that .we must have annoyance. It seems to take a certain number of them to ^13 humble, wakeful, and pray To p?ul the thorn was as dis ciplinary as the shipwreck. If it is jot one'thing it is another. If the stove does not smoke the boiler must leak. If the pen is good the ink jst be poor. If the thorn does not. the knee, it must take you in ck. Life must have sharp things We can not make up our robe istian character without pins eedles. want what Paul got : grace to these things. Without it we me cross, censorious, and irrasci We ssJt in the habit of sticking xt?oTTRrmto other people's fingers. But God helping us, we place these annoyances in the category of the Z all things work together for good." ,Tire see how much shorter thorns are %han the spikes that struck through the palms "of Christ's hands, and, re membering that He had on His head whole crown of thorns, we take to rselve? the consolation that if we with Him on earth, we shall ''ed with Him in heaven, could Paul positively re ft* rmi ties p The school we learn how to make the sting posi-. tively advantageous; in the third class of thi3 school we learn how even to rejoice in being pierced and wound ed ; but tbat is the Senior class, and when we get to tfiat we atv near?rad uatioh into glory.-Selected. --. -a<0>i- H Josh Billings ou " ??iSjpepslij7i" I have been a practical dispeptik for 27 years and four months, and it would have been munny in my pock et ii I had been born without enny stummuck. I have prayed upward of one thous and times to be on the inside like an ostrich, or a traveling colporter. I have seen traveling colporters who could eat as much as a goose. I have seen a goose eat till they could not stand up enny more, and then set down and eat sum, and then roil over aud eat sum more. 1 have tried living on filtered wa ter and goiug barefoot iorthe dispep shy aud that didn't hit the spot. I have soked at water cure estab lishments until I wus so limber that I kouldn't get myself bak again in side ov my Baldwin apparel. I bought a saddle horse once, who was got up expressly to kure the dis pepshy in 90 days or kill the horse. He was warranted to trot harder than a trip-hammer, pull wusser on the bits, and stumble safer down hill than enny other boss on the fut stool. I rode the hess until I was ov a jelly, and then sold him bridle and all, for sixty-eight dollars, and got sued * . th-? purchaser, and had tc pay ?iJi 00 dollars and some sents damage because the hoss had the "Kimshys," a disseaze I knu nothing about. The hess and fixings cost me 450 dollars in gold. I kontracted eleven cords of hick ory wood, kross grained, and as phull ov wrinkles as au old cow's horn and sawed away three months on it and the pile seemed to grow bieger every day. I finally gave away the saw and what wood there was left to save my life and Ba" down discouraged, a square victim to the everlasting dis pepshy. I have lived at the seaside and gamboled in the saline flood until I was az a number one salt mackrol. I have dwelt at Saratoga, and tak en the water like a mill-race and still the dispepshy. I have walked 2 miles before break fust, and then et a slice ov dry toast and half of yelk of a pullet's eg, and felt all the time az weak az a kitten that has just cum out ov a fit. I have laid down more than 2 thou sand times, and rolled over once a minnit ail night long, and got up in the morning like a korpse, and there didn't nothing seem to ail me enny where in particlar. I have read whole libarys on the stumtnuck and liver, and when I got thru, I knu a great deal less what was the matter of me than when I begun. 1 hav drunk whiskee with roots in it enough 'to carry off any bridge or saw-mill dam in the country. I have worked on a farm for my vitiles and board, and dieted on fried, pork and ri bread until I was as thin as the sermon ov a 7 day Baptist preacher. I have dun all these things, and 10 thousand other things just a3 ri dikulus, and I have got the old dis pepshy yet just as thick as the pim ples on a four year old goose. If you get a good holt ov the dis pepshy once, you can't never lose it entirely ; it will .cum around once in a while like a ghost, and if,, it. don't scare you so much az it did^nj?e, and make you think you are going to die to-morrow, it will make you feel just HS sorry. Wron? Kimi of a Shirl. It was a respectable looking color ed man who brou "ht his washing home. " Your wife is a good washerwo man, isn't she ?" said the young bach elor to the polite and obsequious man. " Yaas sir ; she commonly always gives satisfaction," replied the hus band of the laundress. " Well," resumed the young bach elor, in his blandest and most insin uating manner, " you can tell your wife that I esteem her very highly as one possessing many womanly and Christian virtues-a domestic gem aud household ornament-a social lu minary and moral beacon-an ex exemplary Christian-a gentle, lov ing wife-a washerwoman among 10,000, and altogether lovely ; but there's one objection." " What's dat, sar," enquired the ?smiling African, who had been show ing two rows of spotless ivory and a cavernous opening of the head while his wife was being so extravagantly eulogized. " Whut's dat, boss?" " She put3 all the starch in my socks, and none in my shirts ; she washes or irons all the buttons off, ;ind forgets to replace them ; ex changes my clothes for those of some other patron, and if you'll look at this (holding up a garment,) you'll see how inconvenient it would be to wear either pantaloons, cuffs or col lars with such a shirt as she sends me. It may be that she cuts off the sleeves and collar to make the tail longer, but I can't see what the deuce she should want to ruffle the edges for !" The darkey looked a little disgust ed as he wrapped the garment up to take it home, and he only said : " Idea sendin' a man dat kin' o' shirt !" Snake stories are generally suppos ed to be synonymous with pure fic tion, but the one which a Pennsylva nia wood-chopper relates is vouched for as true in every particular. Mr. Allen Rogers resides on the Blue Mountains, about three miles from Reading, and his son, a little boy of eleven summers, has lately been in the habit of leaving his father's house e.ery morning and not?eturning till noon. The parents of the boy ques tioned him several times as to where he went, but they could get no satis factory answer, and so the father fol lowed his son one morning last week, and saw him enter the woods about half a mile from the house, where he seated himself upon a . rock. Soon the father was horrified at seeing a monster black snake crawl upon the rock and put its head on the boy's lap. The father states that the snake was the largest he ever saw, being fifteen feel, long and as thick as his arm. The boy had taken bread with him and was feeding the snake, which at short intervals, would st ck a large tongue out as if hissing for more to e*t. Then it wouid coil itself aroiuid the n?ick and body of the boy. and play with the boya hands. As the terrified father i unit du? leave hw boy with his deadly cutupauion he Bick, and tue snake, hearing j t once uncoiled itself and i body hom the rock and looked in all direction?, and then it returned to the boy's lap, aud the father returned home and awaited il.e boy's return, which was, as usual, at noon. When told that he had been seen playing wirb the snake, the boy said the first morning he met the snake he liked to play with it ; then he took it. food, and he was so much pleased with his companion that some thing told him that he rams meet the ::uake every morning. One morning he said he was late, and when he reached the place the snake was standing up, and it came out to meet him, then followed him to the rock. Next morning the father and two of thc neighbors went to the place with guns, and at the usual time the snake made its appearance, when all fired at one time, killing the char mer. Hon. Thomas H. Hendricks made a speech at Zanesville, Ohio, lately, in which, in speaking on the financial question, he said: 81 The general par alysis of business and employment and the distrust of useful investments because of shrinkage in values, as well as the condition of our currency, have brought about differences of opinion among Democrats. I think these differences may be adjusted. I have heretofore expressed the opinion that a wise statesmanship may avoid the extremes of a contracted curren cy, cramping enterprises and labor on the one hand, and ot' an inflated and depreciated currency on the other; that they are the extremes of glut tony and starvation, and health and strength will come of neither. I have an unshaken confidence that the national council of our party will so adjust these differences as to main tain our ancient doctrine in favor of a sound and stable currency, shaping our politics in accordance thereto, with a return to specie payments al ways in view, and at the same time avoiding the disasters which would immediately follow contraction." THE NEW BELL FOR INDEPENDENCE HALL.-Mencely & Kimberly of this city, who are making a bell of 13,000 pounds for the tower of old Inde pendence Hall in Philadelphia, have, upon application to Gen. Magner, and upon endorsement of the War De partment, received permission to se lect several cannon from those now in store at the Watervliet Arsenal, to be cast in the bell. The selection will be of cannon which did service in the Union and rebel armies during the late civil war. It is the purpose of the donor of the bell (Henry Sy bert of Philadelphia) and of the au thorities of that city to have the bell in position in Independence Hall tow er duly 4, 1776. It will thus have both a national and centennial sig nificance-that of a country grown in a century from a Union of thirteen States to thirty-eight, and a popula tion increased from 4,000,000 to 40, 000,000. TLe object of the special cannon used in the casting of this bell will be to carry out the idea of peace, in the blending of North and ?South, and quite in keeping with the spirit of one of the Bible inscriptions which will be cast i -on the bell " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." -Troy Times. -i--. In the report of the Interview with Gov. Chamberlain which we publish ed last week, that gentleman says : "I confess, however, that I am not so much interested in what is past | and gone as I am in what is present and coming." In that expression the Governor sets the precedent that tne omcfels-wf-| one administration are not interested in punishing the rascals who? have robbed and disgraced the State un der a previous administration. In other word?, if the officials of Mr.' Chamberlain's administration should prove equally as great rascals as those under Moses, the succeeding admin istration would not feel any interest in bringing them to justice. If that course is to be followed, we see no chance for punishing official rogues, but on the other band it seems like (-.Hering immunity from punishment for official stealing, because the frauds of one officer are seldom discovered until his successor linds it out.- Un ion Times.
