The Grass Withereth, the Flower
Fadeth But the Word Of Qod
Shall Stand Forever.
No fragrant of a battle ever sur
vived so many banles as the Bible;
no citadel ever withstood so many
hurricanes and was swept by
so many storms. And yet it stands.
Ii has seen the rise and tail of Dan
iel's four empires. Assyria be
queaths a few mutilated figures to
the riches of our national museum.
Media a, id Persia, like Babylon,
which they conquered, have been
weighed in the balance and long
ago found wanting. Greece faint
ly survives in iis historical fame,
"lis living Greece no more," and
iron Rome of the Caesars has long
since ceased to boast. And yet
the book that foretells all still sur
vives. While the nations, kings,
philosophers, systems, institutions,
have died away. The Bible en
gages men's deepest thought, is
examined by the keenest intellect,
stands revered before the highest
tribunals, more devoutly loved and
more vehemently assailed, more
defended and denied, more indus
triously translated and freely given
to the world, more honored and
abused than any other book the
world ever saw. It survives all
changes, itself unchanged; it moves
all minds, yet is moved by none;
it sees all things decay yet itself is
incorruptible; it sees myriads of
other books engulfed in the stream
of time yet it is borne along till the
mystic angel plants its foot in the
sea and swears by him that lime
shall be no more. With Isaiah we
say: "All flesh is grass and all
the goodliness thereof is as the
flower of the field. The grass
withereth, the flower fadeth, but
the Word ot God shall stand for
ever." IS CASE OF FAILURE.
A commercial traveller at a rail
way station in one of our Southern
(owns included in his order for
breakfast two boiled eggs. The
old darkey who served him brought
him three.
"Uncle," said the traveling
man' "why in the world did you
bring me three boiled eggs? I on
ly ordered two."
"Yes, sir," said the old darkey,
bowing and smiling, 1 know you
did order two sir, but I brought
three because 1 just naturally felt
dat one of dem might fail you, sir."
Topeka Capital.
It's a good plan to believe only
half you hear and forget two
thirds of that.

TWILIGHT.
The shadows are falling, the end draweth near,
Sweet voices are calling, long hushed to our ear;
Old, homesick and weary, we sigh for the peace
That comes when eanh's dreary hard toiling shall cease.
The temple up yonder all glorious and brigln,
We glimpse oft and wonder, since God is its light.
The silvery river that flows by the tree
Of life in the city, in fruitage we see.
The white-robed immortals that throng the highway
Seem passing our portals, and not far away;
These these all remind us, we're nearing the strand,
And soon far behind us will lie shadow land.
The way often cheerless not much of sunshine
But few leagues were tearless, down all the long line;
The twilight is cheering, our old hearts grow light;
It tells us we're nearing the land of no night.
'Tis balm for our sorrow, for heartache relief;
Assures us to-morrow we'll be beyond grief.
The place without sadness, and never a sigh,
Where life is all gladness, and none ever die.
"THERE IS NO DEATH"
Do we grieve when the morning breaketh ?
Are we sad when the worm finds wing ?
Do we mourn o'er the bulb ttiat lies buried
Awaiting the coming of Spring?
With dirge shall the children long exiled
Return to the land of their birth
Shall the King's son, his country long serving,
Be crowned without glaunessVn'd mirth ?
O Brothers, when day for meldawneth;
When, ceasing to plod, I miy soar;
When the root by the Gardener transplanted,
Has blossomed as never before.
When the feet long weary with wandering
Have entered the beautiful gate;
And the child, through mercy forgiven,
Inherits the Father's estate;
When the eyes so fond of earth's bounty
New sight have, as well as new scenes;
And the ears, there retuned by God's angels,
Know what perfect harmony means;
When the soul so often defeated
Has conquered the last of its foes,
And the heart singing long in the darkness
Heaven's glory forevermore knows.
Come not with your low-muftled drum beats,
0 ring not one funeral bell;
March as soldiers returning from battle,
Whose songs of great victory tell !
Rejoice as when evil lies vanquished,
Rejoice that peace comes after pain!
When your hearts are by loneliness saddened,
Rejoice in mine infinite gain !
Think not that I have gone from your presence;
Our spirits yet nearer shall be;
When I know as I'm known by the Master,
1 can pray far better for thee.
He is calling me now for some service:
Your mansions perhaps I'll prepare.
'Tis not far to the Beautiful Country,
And I shall be waiting you there.
Anna P. Beyer.

An old lady was K'nK over
the zoo and after some time she
went up to a keeper and tapped
him on the shoulder with her
umbrella.
"Well, mum," said the keep
er. "I want to ask yon," explain
ed the old lady, "which of the
animals in the zoo you consid
er the most remarkable?"
The keeper scratched his
head for awhile. "Then
"Well, mum," he replied,
"arter careful consideration,
as you might say, I've come to
the conclusion as tho biscuit
goes to the laughing hyena."
"Indeed!" said tho old lady
in surprise; "and why do you
consider the laughing hyena so
remarkable?"
"Well, mum," answered the
zoological expert, ''ho only has
a sleep once a week, lie only
has a meal once a month. He
only has a drink once a year.
So what he's got to laugh about
is a bloomin' mystery to me!"

SAD MAN'S RED CAN.
A sad looking man entered the
shanty where the workmen were
eating their lunches. Ii was
holding a red can.
"Hey, fellers," hesaluted them,
"look at this can o' powder I pick
ed up outside. I've a mind to blow
meself up."
"Aw, cut that stuff and beat it
out of here," ordered the foreman.
The man walked around, then
walked deliberately over to the
stove, opened the door and thrust
the can inside.
There was a yell of dismay and
in a moment the shanty was emp
ty. Ten minutes later the runaways
returned. The can was lying
harmlessly on the fire and the sad
looking man was gone. So were
their lunch pails.
