it will be some time before product

can be had.—Corpus Christi Caller.
■Lincoln's Favorite Hymn
: If. you cannot on |he ocean
Sail among the swiftest fleet
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at-the storms you meet,
You can stand among-the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay.
You can lend a hand to help them
; As they launch their boats away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain, steep and high.
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes. Lj .by,
You can chant in happy measure
As they slowly pass along—
Though they mqy forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.:
. . • '
If you Jiave not gold or silver
Ever at your command
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach • an ever-helping hand,
You can shecor the afflicted.
O’er the erring von can weep; ’
With the Saviour’s, true disciples
You a tireless watch may keep.
If you cannot in the harvest
Garner up the richest sheaves,
Many a grain, both ripe and golden,
Oft the careless reaper leaves;
Go and glean-among the briars
Growing rank against the wall.
For it may be that their shadow
Hides the heaviest wheat of all.
If you'eannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a- soldier true,
If where fire and smoke are thickest
There’s no work for’you to do, -
When the battlefield is silent;
You can go with careful tread—
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead. -
Do not, then, stand idly waiting -
For some greater work to do; -
Fortune is a lazy goddess —
She will never come to you.
Go and toil in any vineyard;
Do not fear to do or dave--
If you want a field of labor
YouT-an find it anywhere.

Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road? \
Or did you just let him go on with hi s

Did you help him along? He’s.a sin-

But the grasp of your hand might have
carried him through.
3Did you bid him good cheer? Just a
word and a smile
Were what he most needed the last

L^earn to look steadily and closely,
as it were, into things!
There are joys which long to be
ours!
God sends ten thousand truths which
come about our souls like the birds
seeking inlet. *
But we shut them out! and so they
bring us nothing.
They sit, and they ; swing a little
while---and then they fly away!
