HALF-WAY.
The years that steal your youth away
Come drifting on come drifting on
Like nowflake8 that endure a day
And then are gone.
Upon the hearth is blazing bright
An open fire I sit and dram,
And thiak how far into the night
And storm its ruddy glow doth stre?m
And then, within my heart, tonight
The flame of youth flares up once more
To shed a gleam of flickeiing light
Through all the dark that lies before.
And all tha lost come back once ; more,
And all the dead things live again,
Aad footsteps echo on the flor,
And faces press against the pane.
Ad now I try bo hard to catch
A whisper from the forms that paps,
To touch tke hand that lifts the latch
The lips that tremble on the glass.
And seek to check the rising tears
For sweet dead joys and loved ones
gone,
For memories that lie the yean
Come drifting on come drifting on.
My fire burns ?low, but through the
gloom
Comes stealing in the gray of dawn,
The shadows scurly from the room
mi ail are gone.
And morn is here the storm is past,
The room is filld with ruddy day:
But on my head is drifting fat
The snow that never molts away.
WANTED A PREACHER.
Wanted, a preacher in the town o?
Critic, to begin work immediately .
Salary $500, to one who can sait
each individual member.
We cannot afford to be generous
as we wish to secure the services of
a first-class man. We are a very
united and eilv satisfied people
aiid visti a lively, jovial, dignified,
sedate, serious sorl of man; neither
marned nor single a j oug man ol
much txperience and greatjjwisdom.
A good business man ia preferred
one who can support a large fam
ily give freely to all church espou
ses, charities etc., besides laying up
Eimeihing for t rainy day. To do
this it will be necessary for him to
Jiv in s quiet, fracol ifctn.er, in a
fin- h'.use el.ntlv - furnished, and
il.y" ready enter! nin comnatiy,
c'" xllj froLu the touuiry.
TLisiuey can well afford to do, as
wuen' vera Jfltuily rrnm the country
dine vit-h tue-it pastor the? bring
oi.ni a dezef ? egs to th summer
time.
We woulcl like ;i very plain looking
lr Mdsome m mi; t.Ue who k.11 call
reffu;..irly upon hi members, visit the
teud
. rnui, funeral and
wood, m-ke his own garden, and
always be found at home
He must win the affections of the
poor by trying to please the rich a
wry cilin, cool, entbnsiatc speaker
one who bs no throat difficulty,
butcbu speak in an easy eloquent
Located in the Finest
ti r,
The
manner.
If he b3 a fine scholar or a follee
professor, let the fact bo announced
before he begins to preach
or He may not be appreciated. O e
who will be guided in all th'ags by
eich member of the church, no ma
ter how widely they may differ.
We expect our pastor 410 welcome
and seat all persons.
Some of our members prefer home
to foreign miesionery work, although
tbey never pay adojtar to either, and
by using a little discretion he can
work in harmony withboth.
The preacher's wife must be a per
fect lady, do her own work and al
ways be dressed in style to entertain
callcio. Sh must combine the mot
ridgid economy with the most lavish
Hospitality. She mnst a be a very
intelligent, progressive woman; but
she must r member tfcat the majority
of our congregation haye a great
horror for stony-minded women.
The preacher must use every mesns
in his power to preserve a youthful
appearance, but will lose caste if de
tec ted in coioi bis hair or wearing
f&lse teeth.
We would like Ja pale, spiritual
looking man with a robust, healthy
appearance. Our people become
ery much excited if a minister is
seen standing around groceries 0:
stores, so he must be wise and bu
his supplies in the early morn, before
Ins congregation are stirring. If he
would win the young'men from . the
street it wodd be well to adopt some
Usguise so that he will not be reeog-
lized. He should not be disturbed
it some ot hi fuck wander away to
ther folds half tbe time. "Variety
is the spice 01 lKe-" i
Before spending aceat of his sa
lary he will be jexpected Jto consult.
ne leading memoers 01 nis congre
gation and govern himself accordino
ly. While not expected to select the
vmas tne pastor wm uve tne en
tire control of the choir untill re-
qutsted to step down and out.
He must be an active worker in
ine cuurcn, a leader in all aioral r-
.L- .1 I 1 mm
forms, never speaking of the evils of
tbe dny, but preach eloquently ol
the ? :ckednes3 of the peeplo berorc
the flood. Some would like a tem-
perence sermon occasionly, while
others declare that tbey will have
nothing to do with a temperance
crank As we differ in our views
upon the most important questions
o'thi ijoir, it i belter that oar pas-
tor shou'd have no decided opinion
of his own.
We want one who has no bad hab
its; a pastor who will be a shining ex
ample to our tioys. He mnst neither
chew nor smoke, bat if he does,
must treat the boys 00
casionlly, of course. Sometimes
