O Lord! our lives ore blank with constant losses, Our feet are sore with pain; Our hearts are weary with fast coming crosses? We struggle, nor attain. We watch for coming sails that never whiten Tbe still unyielding blue; We look for light whose dawn shall never brighten The mist-enshrouded view. The grasp is loosened that we hold so tightly, The steps ours timid with fleet; On marble stones our household names gleam whitely? Graves thicken round our feet. The white-walled city grows more dim and distant, The eternal shore recedes, The upward path we thought to climb persistent, Is blind with unchecked weeds. As heart and strength grow less, tho way grows rougher, ..... Frail staveB we leaned on break; The glow of living fades?we bear?we suffer, Bat it its "for Thy sake!" Is this the cross that by its fearful bearing Makes worthy, Lord of Thee? That lifts our weak endurance up to sharing The mystic agony? There is a resignation worse than mur? mur, An acquiescence vain; A giving up that roots self-will tho firmer, And silence may complain. O, give us, Lord, that living love un? shaken, ' That makes the heaviest cross Thon layest on us be by us self-taken, Makes sacrifice of loss. The diary of the proceedings of the Beecher jurors after being lockod' up, whioh Mr. Juryman Hull says ho has nearly completed, ought to sell like hot cakes as soon as it is given to the world. It is full of personal allusions, many of them humorous, and gives, among other things, a low of the discomforts expe? rienced by twelve men locked np toge? ther. Smoking, eating, drinking, talk? ing, sleeping, telling stories and playing a game called the "jury game, sorved to pass the time away pleasantly. Flate is said to have "jumped on the tables, flapped his arms and crowed like a rooster." Thyer |sang comio songs and danced jigs, and was the life of the whole assemblage. In fact, Thyer seems to have been the jolliest of the twelve, always in a good humor and full of fun. There were walking matches and run? ning matches around the room, in which Mr. Jeffrey was the most athletic com? petitor. The only question in dispute throughout the eight days of the session was the veracity of the witnesses, and that was a matter in which individual opinion could alone have weight, and tho difference of opinion seemed to bo irreconcilable. Tho sessions for argu? ment were not hold at any regular hours, but frequently during the day and often during tho night. One night, Mr. Hull thinks that ot least every hour a ballot was taken. Tho jurors slept as well as they could in chairs, on the table and under tho desks. Ono or two had mat? tresses sent them by their families. Everything during tho eight days was entirely harmonious, and a number of the jurymen havo formed personal friendships which will bo permanent. ^Bnda-Pestb is unfortunate. The storm ol Sunday was n repetition of that of June 26. Built partly on a mountain side, it is exposed to every tempest. It has suffered in the past from war, pesti? lence and inundation. Between the TurkB, tbe cholera, civil war and convul? sions of nature, the history of tho city is a troublous one. Non-Board Fire Insurance and Real Estate Agency.
