"The sufferings of this present time arc not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed in u.. ; My feet are worn and weary with the march " O'er the rough road, and up the steep hillside ; ; Oh I city ol our God, I fain would see Thy pastures green, where speaceiui waters glide. .' . f ... 37y hands are weary, loo, with toiling on I lav alter day lor perisnaDie meat: . Oh ! city of our God, I fain would rtst I sigh to gam thy glorious mercy sear My garments, travel worn and stainet Oft rent bv briars and thorns that crowd mv way, ! Would fain be made, O Lord, my right eousness, ! Spotless and white in heaven's un clouueu ray. My eyes are weary looking at the sin, ImpietjV and scorn upon this earth ; Oh! citv of our God, within thy walls All all are clothed again with thy new birth. . ! My heart is weary of its own-deep sin-- Sinning; repenting, sinningstui again ; When shall .-my soul thy glorious pres ence teel.5" ! And find, dear Saviour, it is free from stain? Patience, poor oul, the Saviour's feet were worn ; ! I The Saviour's heart and hands were weary, too ; . ! His garments stained, and travel-worn, and old; j ' ! His vision blinded by pitying dew. Iove thou the path of sorrow he trod ; Toil on, wait iu patience for thy rest ; Oh! city of our God, we soon shall see Thy glorious walls home of the be loved and blest ! 1 "I will do it to-morrow. ' 1 "It should be done to-day. No will one knows What to-morrow bring." . ! 'But, UncicGranyille, Aunt Jaue yant8 this weeding finished, lbe weeds grow so fast this warm, damp weather they need to be pulled up root and branch." ' , I "Your Aunt Jane wantcu uie weeds pulled yesterday." j j 'Yes, sir ; but 1 was cleaning iue cellar yesterday." ' ' J. "The cellar ought to nave ueeu ,ionnr.il thp. dav before. You are a day behind in all your work,1 and you have been ever since you wiuc here." - - ' i. L "Why, uncle ! I try to worfc last i "You do work fast, but you are never ready to begin on time, i ou can finish the weeding 'to-aay anu set the plants to-morrow, but yon must expect some inconvenient from counting to-morrow as better than to-day." ,; !. . This remark troubled i Eustbn Davis. He feared he should. be de prived of some pleasure by his pro crastination ; but after his uncle lett him, he became, so much interested in his work that he quite forgot the warning, and lay down to sleep that night without a misgiving as to tfe morrow. The next morning he rlv and looking from the rrratulatea himseu upon the. weather as being favorable rfr transnlantiner. In a weeks lime no one would know whether it was done to-day or the day previous. IT however, had reason to re member the delay. He was busy at Via saw the family pre paring for a drive, and was told that fw urAre troing to the. lake for a "I am sorry you are uot ready to go with us, but those plants must u set, sad ins auih oo.uk, w .. - - sympathy for the boy, wnose sau ffood-by and teanui half repent leaving uuuai t . ' f hp "It is a' great mconveuicij a day behind, but we can't wait ior you to catch up," remarked! his uncle as they drove away, while Euston looked atter them regreuuay. .; Such a long day as followed There was time to accomplish tar. more than the , prescribed task. Some good resolutions were formed, and many anticipations ot better , l T1TU vnsrt.v times mduigea. ueu f " YJ i rptnmed in the evening,; and Mr. Davis requested his nephew to assist in dressing the bsn wno.uau canght, the latter, put aside the boo he was reading, and in which he was greatly interested, without a word in regard to waiting.! - j "Euston, I have seen a man to-day known, by the name of 'Old To morrow,' " said the uncle as they worked together. "People say he never was known to do anything un-j til the day after time. He had a good farm given him by his father i 1 r rftn P 'Oft FOK THE PUBtIG GOOD. ' . - '; HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, JUNE .7, 1879- but he was always behind with his. work. He never got his seed into the grouud iu season; so, of course, he lost the bestpart of the time for the growing! of his crops He was behind with haying and harvesting, and his apples otten froze on the trees. It there was a break in the; fence, he let It go till his own or his neighbors ' cattle trespassed on bis fields; and in the fall, when his sheep needed folding, he left them out tin some oiinem cueo i om snow. tL9 was always going 10 ao all these things to-morrow. What! ' I . -.nl kind of a farmer should you - call such a man?" i "A poor one, of course, uncle. A farmer; needs to keep everything .fight up to the mark." i " Yes, be does ; but no more than others!.; Ii you lose a day, you may run after it all the year; but you will never overtake it. t Old To morrow was on his way to the poor house this morning. He mortgaged his farm and saw it sold at auction, all because he put off till to-morrow what should be done to-day. People all sayhe was a kind-hearted man, but that didn't save him from the natural consequences of his shiftless habits.! He bought too late to take j advantage of the market, and sold? Jtoo late because he waited for the' 'day iwhich never comes." f "What day was that?" asked Euston.. ! . I ' "To-morrow," was replied.-,- "But to-morrow does come, uncle;" "Never, my boy. What we talk of as to-morrow' will i be - to-day jwhen it comes. We live only in the present, and a day lost is lost for ever. Many a general of a great army has sacrificed thousands of lives because he delayed to move his troops until to-morrow ; and there are thousands of men in our country wretchedly poor because, u'hnn thv wercibovs. thev acquired the same habi which kept you at home while we wanted you at the lake. ! Present opportuniUes are real and golden ; future opportunities bre unreliable and shadowy." I . "Then I take the golden and leave! the shadowy," exclaimed Euston. kWhen I am a man., nobody (Shall call me 'Old To morrow.' But I know lots of boys who put off things inet. n miu'.h I have, and need tO make tin for lost time just as much; as I did. I can tell you, though, there'll be, one less after this. Ill look out for every to-day, and then I shall make sure of - every to morrow." Mary DicinncU Chellisl in Well iSpritig. , ! WHAT ' VAfiT PUT UNDER THE CORNER STONE.

Some inves tigation and anxiety-as to means there may be, though in this respect the! ordinary parlance of the; world endows men with more caution, or accuses them of more greed than they really! possess. But in other respects every tbing is taken for granted. Let the woman, if possi ble, be pretty or, if not pretty, let her have style." Let the man; if pos sible, notbe a fool ; or, if a fool jet him not show his folly too plainly. As for knowledge of charactej-,,utone is possessed, and none is wanted.

Jenkins, art English natural ist, describes a scene he witnessed, between the ! large insect knon as daddy long-legs and a small- spider. The former got caught by onelof its hind legs by a pendant thread of cobweb about eight inches long, at the other end of which was a small spider. The spiderf, descended upon the thread very cautiously, doubling it1- as be '-came, -ind: secnrw'-tho'm sect's leirs more firmly. He then ascended about three inches, and rlrpw i he insect un half an inch : but -- r . - - - : - j , . , a violent resistance i on the part ' of the latter induced him to give up the attempt. He, ho vvever, went up the thread, strengthening , it as he Went, and coming: ddwn to the same place again, evidently attempted to jaaise his prey, but without success, for the insect appeared to resisted so stout ly '-that it appeared to me to stretch the thread. ! The spider, Mr. Jenkins Writes, saw clearly that the 'Insect was too strong tor mm, mat ne wouia never be able to dravv'him up to the centre of his web, and that it he did ! not take very 'summary measures he, would lose him altogether ; 60, on the principle that half a loaf is petter than no bread, he set to work to se cure a i portion' of it. The hind leg of the insect, to which he had his web fastened, was composedlo fotir jo'mted portions Round three , of these lie busied himself weavmg a web -Mr. Jenkins noticed particu larly that he did not go up to the last jointed portion; that attached to to the body. Having well secured these three, he moved up the joint and for a few moments appeared perfectly still. ' Suddenly the. fnsect, darted away, leaving three-quarters of its leg behind. What other ex planation is there than that the spjder disconnected it at the joint? . Quietly ascending the thread, which he car ried with him, and, of course, the spider as well, he properly placed the,.Jiitter, settled down at the timoa of tlie iwo uppermost portions, gorged hirhself with juices;) from above and below, and then retired for the night. . , liTTT J.N KSS CAUSED BY ILL HEALTH. Without ! doubt a great deal of dullness owes its origin to ill health. People with languid circulations are seldom Vivacious or amusiug, uv4 i is hard to be bright and livelyfwben suffering pain ,- but indigestion, pn the other. hand, often makes its vic tims amusingly ill-natured and un charitable, i Of the vices, selhshness is productive of dullness ; but malice, oUnnr o n A f'alRP wit.llPRS.
