IN THE SWEETER COUNTRY.
In the sweeter country where the dreams are always bright,
Singing by the rivers and "valleys of delight;"
All there is of Heaven dawning in your sight
In the sweeter country of the Morning !
In the sweeter country that's the place to stay;
Grief is a dream there it sings itself away;
There it is we realize the meaning of the May
In the sweeter country of the Morning !
In the sweeter country ! There's the place to rest,
Where the dreams bring roses 10 each troubled breast;
The birds, blown of the storm-winds, are cuddled in the nest
In the sweeter country of the Morning !

FOR FLETCHER'S
CASTOR I A
We liavo lost the stars. The
December heavens glitter with
frosty splendors still, but who
looks up to behold their beauty
or draw peace from the con
templation of their mysteries?
Stars are no longer part of our
busy life, so they are no longer
part of our spirit. The mari
ner no longer has to seek guid
ance from the pole star. The
lost shepherd has a compass
that has made him forget his
lore of heavenly guide-posts.
In cities the tinsel radiance of
the lights dims the lamps of
night bung high in space by
angels. Little children have
wandered so far from simple
things that they no longer make
puns on the Milky Way or
laugh with sweet unreason at
the Big Hipper. Once every
convent girl knew where burn
ed Orion's belt, where Taurus
flamed red in the Scorpion's
heart and how to trace the un
stablu and ill-fitting lines of
Cassiopeia's Chair. Nowadays
I the stars are secret lore, us if
spread lightly idly for drapery,
to the small romance of life.
They are just scenery.
Only in the country most re
mote from urban blandishment
and taints do the stars beam as
old and steadfast friends. Here
wo may yet meet with a sage
for whom their twinkling has
deep meaning. He lives close
enough to nature to love her
jewels. He believes in the stars
nnd christens an almanac. The
moou for him is not an adjunct
of popular rag-time ditties, but
a mysterious force swaying the
affairs of men. He knows a
wet moon from a dry moon and
under what sign it is best to
plant potatoes or kill hogs. He
has wisdom and peace that the
electric lights can never en.
kindle. Richmond Tinies-Dis-patch.
A THEOLOGICAL POI NT.
A revival was being held at a
small colored Baptist church in
Georgia. At one of the meetings
the evangelist, after an earnest but
Fruitless exhortation, requested all
of the congregation who wanted
their souls washed white as snow to
stand up. One darkey remained
sitting.
"Doin' yo' want yo' soul washed
w'ite as snow, Brudder Jones?"
"Ma soul done been washed
w'ite as snow, pahson."
"Whah was yo' soul washed
w'ite as snow, Brudder Jones?"
"Over yander to de Methonis
chu'eh acrost dc raihoad."
"Brudder Jones, yo'soul wa'n'l
washed hit were dry-cleaned."
