GLEANING.
Hast thou wandered far from the ''reaper* "
In search of perfume and flowers?
H**t thou lingered by murmuring waters,
Or slept In the vine wteathed bowers?
Will thy measure of worthless blossoms,
Halt hidden by wtherlng leaves,
Be a fitting gift for the Master,
In place of the golden sheavest
Hast thou cllmed the towering mountain,
vt ith its dazzling robe of light;
And sought for the fruit of the harvest
On its cold and barren height?
The pieans of fame die in echoes,
And its thorny crown brings pain,
But not on the mountain's summit
Canst thou gather the ripening grain.
Hast thou sighed for power and station;
And sought, in the hidden mine,
For the glittering heaps of treasures,
That there In the darkness shine ?
Ah I not the wealth of the Indies
Must the tolling reaper bring.
But the " gleaning " of whitened harvests
For the Master’s offering.
Hast thou wandered far into marshes,
Where the poisonous waters flow—
Where the air is heavy with vapors,
And the deadly nightshades grow ?
Is thy pure brow clouded with sorrows,
Thy sandals defiled with clay ?
In fields of sin aud temptation.
Alas ! hast thou gleaned to day?
Or hast thou brought joy to the reaper,
And strength to the sinking heart;
Extended a hand to the hopeless;
Bade the erring in peace depart?
Hast thou self and its pleasures forgotten,
While seeking thy neighbor to blest ?
Hast thou crowned e'en the understanding
With thy heart’s sweet tenderness?
Reaper 1 the eventide cometh 1
Soon shall thy gleaning be o’er!
The laborers' song of rejoicing
Tell of the plenteous store.
Bring forth thy sheaves to the Master:
So shall thy golden grain.
In the fields of the emerald waters,
Blossom in beauty again.
THE LITTLE RED CUSHION.
“Cornelia Evarts! ”
Little Miss Prim snapped out the
words, with as much of an air as if she
had a hundred or two scholars, instead
of a small district school; so small, that
you could almost put the whole thing
under a good-sized umbrella, and walk
away with it.
“Yes’m,” came back in a meek little
voice, from the other end of the room.
“I’m not going to hear this noise any
longer. No lam noi ! ” declared Miss
Prim. “So do you just walk up here to
the desk this very minute! ’’
Two small feet stumbled out into the
passage between the well-worn wooden
benches; and the little girl walked slow
ly up to the big desk, till she stood ex
actly in front of the sharp little eyes of
the teacher, who looked her all over
keenly from head to foot.
“What have you been doing to make
all the children laugh ? ” at last she
said.
“Nothing,” said Cornelia, dragging her
well-worn shoe back and forth over the
old school-room floor. And then with a
small stop, that just saved her from a
falsehood, added, “Only”—
“Only what?” said Miss Prim, sharp
ly, and adjusting her spectacles for bet
ter sight. “Speak out now 1 ”
“Nothin’,” again said Cornelia, but
with a gasp she came up again. “I
didn’t mean ter; I” —
“I can’t help what you meant to do,”
replied Miss Prim severely, and she
opened a drawer under the old desk.
“Now then”—
She brought what looked to be a wad
of paper, but when unrolled, it proved
to be a huge cap, which she proceeded,
with great deliberation, to fit on Corne
lia’s head.
“I’ve had trouble enough,” she said,
“all this morning, so that I can hardly
hear myself think. Now, I’ll see if I can
stop it. Wait a bit; you must get the
corn-cob in” —
“Oh, I don’t want that,” cried Corne
lia, under her fool’s-cap, which Miss
Prim had jammed, like an extinguisher,
over her countenance; and watching
timidly the teacher’s movements. “Oh
no, I don’tl”
“But it's just what you’re going to
have,” said Miss Prim, with a nod, “so
open your mouth.” And she held up a
big corn cob, ready to pop in, the mo
ment she saw the two rows of little
white teeth.
So Cornelia had the mouthful slipped
in, and then in obedience to Miss Prim’s
command, she mounted a little cricket in
front of the teacher’s desk, and turned
a comical face of distress to the other
scholars, who, one and all, set up a laugh
at her appearance.
She couldn’t cry, because the corn-cob
wouldn’t let her; nor yet could she beg
the teacher to take it out, and give her
any other punishment under the sun,
than to make her the laughing stock of
the whole school.
All she could do was to stand there
in utter misery, rolling her eyes at the
clock to watch its slow hands point her
release.
“Now,” exclaimed Miss Prim, having
fixed her as a public warning for all other
naughty children, “I shall see what you
have been hiding in your desk that has
made such a disturbance among the
scholars. I shall see for myself. ”
So she walked down between the two
rows of benches, having all eyes upon
her till she came to Cornelia’s little old
desk. Without a second’s pause she
flung back the lid and exposed to view
—what?
A little heart-shaped pin-cushion of
red silk, sewed with painstaking care,
and stuck with pins that formed crooked
little letters, but each one set by loving
fingers, and the letters were, “Miss
Prim! ”
The little, thin, stern teacher stagger
ed back, and rubbed her eyes.
Then she picked up the little cushion,
and started with rapid footsteps for her
desk.
“Cornelia”—out came the corn-cob at
the same moment—“what is this for ? ”
she asked, holding it up.
“You said,” mumbled Cornelia, rub
bing her mouth with her fat. little hand,
“that ’twas your birthday to morrow ; I
heard you tell Aunt Johnson so—an’ I
wanted to s’prise you—l did.”
“Well, you have 1 ” cried Miss Prim,
throwing her thin arms around her, and
giving her a dezzen or more kisses, that
nearly knocked the breath out of her.
“Don’t you ever forget that; I’ve had the
biggest surprsse I’ve ever had in my
life, and a lesson too! ” she added, with
an humble little drop to her voice.
“Children,” and she tore off the fool’s
cap from the little brown head before
her, then turned, and faced them al), “I
ought to wear this myself—only,” and a
smile quivered over her thin lips, “I
suppose it wouldn’t look very well tor
your teacher to be so punished for her
carelessness.’’
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1881.
“But,” and she held as high as she
could reach the little red pin cushion for
them all to see, “this will always say to
me, ‘Be sure, before you find fault 1 ”
Youth’s Companion.
A Talented Lady's Views.—Mrs. C. F.
Fleming, State Lecturer of Missouri, and also
au artist of rare merit, whose picture of Ade
laide Neilson is pronounced by the press to
be the most beautiful portrait in the United
States, in a recent letter said: “I have been
troubled with kidney disease since my child
hood, and it finally culminated in chronic
catarrh of the bladder. It would be impos
sible for me to describe how much I have
suffered, and I had abandoned all hope of
ever being cured. I was, however, recom
mended to try Warner’s Safe Kidney and
Liver Cure, and it has done me more good
than the combined skill of all the physicians
I have ever tried during my entire life.” Such
testimony is beyond question, and proves
the value to all ladies of the remedy itadvo
cates.
HA VE MORE SUNSHINE.
Sunshine in the house —sunshine in
the heart I No one can overestimate the
value of either. What the world wants
to-day is more sunshine in its disposi
tion, in its business, in its charities, in
its theologies, and, queer as it may seem,
in even its pleasures. For ten thousand
of the aches and pains, and irritations of
men and women, nothing can be better
than sunshine. It soothes better than
morphine. It stimulates better than
champagne. It is the best plaster for a
wound. The goo I Samaritan poured
into the fallen traveller’s wounds more
of this than of oil. Florence Nightin
gale used it on Crimeon battle fields.
You cannot have too much of it, or use
it too freely. It is good at all times, and
on all occasions. Take it into all the
alleys, d rwn into all the cellar-ways, up
into the dilapidated garretts; take it into
the prisons and poorhouses ; take it on
all the ships; carry it ..eside all sick
beds. There can be no place on all the
broad earth where its light might not
fall and do good. Don’t be afraid to
have too much of it. Take not a vialful,
not a cupful, not a decanterful, but a
soulful. It is good for spleen, for liver
complaint, for neuralgia, for rheuma
tism ; it is good for falling fortunes, for
envy, discontent, for depression of mind,
for "melancholy. Doubtless we shall
find hereafter that heaven is full of sun
shine.

Consumption in its early stages is readily
cured by the use of Dr. Pierce's “Golden
Medical Discovery,” though, if the lungs are
wasted, no medicine will effect a cure. No
known remedy possesses such soothing and
healing influence over all scrofulous, tuber
culous, and pulmonary affections as the
"Discovery.” John Willis,of Elmira, Ohio,
writes: "The ‘Golden Medical Discovery’
does positively cure consumption, as, after
trying every other medicine in vain, this
succeeded.” Mr. Z. T. Phelps, of Cuthbert,
Ga., writes: “The Golden Medical Discov
ery’ has cured my wife of bronchitis and
incipient consumption.” Sold by druggists
Look On for the Rocks. —A gentle
man crossing the English Channel stood
near the helmsman. It was a calm and
pleasant evening, and no one dreamed
of a possible danger to their good ship.
But a sudden flapping of a nail, as if the
wind had shifted, caught the ear of the
officer on watch, and ne sprang at once
to the wheel, examineing closely the
compass.
“You are half a point off" the course,”
he said sharply to the man at the wheel.
The deviation was corrected, and the
officer returned to his post.
“You must steer very accurately,” said
the looker-on, “when only half a point
is so much thought of.’’
“ Ah! half a point in many places
might bring us directly on the rocks,” he
said.
So it is in life. Half a point from
strict truthfulness stands us upon the
rocks of falsehood. Half a point from
perfect honesty, and we are steering
right for the rocks of crime. And so of
all kindred vices. The beginnings are
always small. No one climbs to a sum
mit at one bound, but goes up one little
step at a time. Children think lightly
of what they call small sins. These
rocks do not look so fearful to them.
The Power of the Pbess.—ln no way is
the power of the press more surely shown
than in the universal' knowledge that has,
in less than a year, been diffused throughout
fiftysmillions of people of the wonderful
curative properties of that splendid remedy,
Kidney-Wort. And the people from the
Atlantic to the Pacific have shown their in
telligence and their knowledge of what is in
the papers, by already making Kidney-Wort
their household remedy for all diseases of
the kidneys, liver and bowels.—Herald.
“ Was it Our Jesus.”— A little three
year-old girl stood at the window one
Sunday “watching for papa,” who was at
church. Soon she spied him coming;
and as he entered she said:—
“Papa what did Mr. R preach
about this morning?”
Her father replied “He preached about
Jesus.”
“Papa, was it our Jesus? ” she asked.
“Yes,” said her father it was our
Jesus.”
The eyes brightened at the thought
that papa’s minister knew her Jesus and
spoke about Him to his congregation.
Do you, dear reader, claim this Jesus
as yours? I hope so, for it is a most
blessed thought that every little girl and
boy may have Him for their own Sa
vior. No matter how much He loves
other children, there is room, ever room,
iu His affections for you, and as many
others as will ask Him to care for them.
“They brought young children to Him,
and he took them up in His
arms, and blessed them.” (Maik x. 13,
16)— N. Y. Observer.

teemed young friend, James Miller, tbat bream
ed his last ou earth 3 :30 p. m. Sunday, Sept. 18th,
1881 aged 22 years, 4 months aud 6 days. James
is the son ol Mr. Audrew J. and Mrs. E. W. Mil

amid angels, parents, relatives, lamily. physi
cian and kind iriends—all of whom he earnestly
exhorted to meet him in heaven, his abidiug

to bear my happy soul to the celestial city above
whs re all is love. His suffering wass on aud

triumphant He was perfectly rational to the
last of Ins suffering, even In death.
Some 18 or 20 hours beloe his death her. quest

distinctly his experimental knowledge of the
power of Christ Jesus to fo'glve the sins of lhe
truly penitent. He also stated that he would
breathe liis last and first in heaven, 3:30 p. m.,
Sunday, while the brethren aud rtstera of Salem
church would be engaged in their regular prayer
meeting. Said he, it was my Intention to unite
with the Salem church at her August meeting,
but I was ealkd away ou business. It is now too
late for me to carry out that intention • bury me

the family. Father, please come near me; now
let us have s sweet prayer m eting h re around

‘There is a Fountain Filled with Blood.’ Dear
father, p ease meet me in heaven,, laying his
hand on his father’s head, leanfug on ttye aim of
bis sister Lucy he said, 1 will now rest. Noble
young man, manifesting in ear y life some of the
peculiar Chara ter|sticsoi true greatness. True
greatness consists in capacity f mind to properly
conceive of many things at lhe same time, and
appropriate them to practical purposes. The de
ceased possessed this peculiarity of greatness.
To this character of mind, a thirst for knowledge
is very important—literary, scientific, practical,
religious knowledge—for acquisitions to strong
native intellect are what a polishing instru ent
Is to diamonds. Language Is the vehicle of
thought. The true and tried friends of the de
ceased, professors Gwin and 0 Kelly. also his
classmate John Harden, are substantial witnes
ses to the fact that the deceased man tested great
decision of character and energy of miud in the
attainment ot true knowledge. Wisdom is
another trait of real greatness. Genuine wisdom
does not consist in the amountol knowledge pos
sessed, but in the practical capacity of wisely ap
preprinting the knowledge Acquired. Our friend
sought and found true knowledge, aud real wis
dom—
’ That wisdom that comes from above,
That's gentle, kind and full of love.’
Another characteristic of substantial greatness
is found in inflexibility of purpos» guided by
real wisdom and true knowledge. This the de
ceased possissed in a large degree to the last
hour of bis mortal existence.
The crowning trait o: all true greatness is
tound In real, genuine, humble piety. Without a
practical kcowkdge of the saving power of the
Lord Jesus Christ, all other greatness will ulti
mately perish. The wager dies on the battle
field and is forgotten. The statesman withers
when his dav is spent. Science without the
Bible is but a bubble. Our young friend, James
Miller, was a man of fine practical intellect. An
energetic student; a true friend: a faithfu' son;
a kind and lov’ng brother; a good eitizeu of his
age; a true belfever in the Lord Jesus C riot-
God has taken him to himself Our loss is his
eternal gain, and this beautiful passage of scrip
ture is verified iu his death: ‘Yea, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear on evil, for thou art with me, thy rod
and thy staff shall comfort me.’ Oh, how true
Jesus said, ’ and 10, I am with you always.’

FLORID XT
EEVISED DESCRIPTIVE CIRCULAR OF DELAND, t FLORIDA.
r T'HE village of DeLand is located five miles east
I of our landing, on the St. John’s river, where
all river steamboats pass; very near the geo
graphical center, north and south ol Volusia
county, and almost in the center of
THE GREAT ORANGE BELT.
This place is about twenty-five miles from the
Atlantic ocean, and is almost constantly favored
with a tempered
SEA BREEZE,
and from its elevation above the river, its location
among the pines, and its isolation from all stand
ing water, it is peculiarly adapted to the necessi
ties of invalids. This belt of land is about twenty
miles long, and averages about five miles wide, is
gently undulating, ann, in our Immediate vicini
ty, somewhat hilly. Our lands are
UMSnrpassed in Fertility
by any pine region in the State. In our village
which is only four years old, we have a
Fine School Building,
used also for union Sunday-school and church
services. We have dally malls, threegeneral mer
chandise stores, one of the largest in South
Florida, a drug store, millinery and notion store.
