'Tis hard to toil, when toil Is almost vain In barren ways; Tis ard to sow, and never garner grain In harvest days. The burJen of my days is hard to b sr, But God knows best; And I have prayed—but vain has bson iny prayer For test—sweet Re.-t. *Tii hard to plant in 8pring, and never reap The Autmn yi-ld; "I is hard to till, and when ’tis tilled to weep O’er fruitless Hold And so I cry, a weak and human cry, Sj heart-opprossed: And so I sigh, a weak and human s : gh. For Rost—lor Best. My way has wound across the desert years, And cares infest My path ; and through the flowing of I nt tears I pine for Rost. *Tws* always so; whon still a child I laid On mother's breast My wearied little head, e’en then I prayed As now, for Host. And I am restless still; ’twill soon be o’er, For, down the west Lifo’s sun is setting, and I see the shore Whore I shall Rest. New Advertisements.

When uu agent rung Mr. Bird's door bell the other day, says Mux Adler, Mr. Bird himself opened the door. Mr. Bird hud the buby upon his arm, and there were four other children at his heels. “Is the lady of the house in ?” asked the agent. “Certainly she isn’t!" replied Mr. Bird. “She is out. She is perennially and eternally out!’’ "Where can I see her?” "Why, go down to the Woman Suf frage Club Itoom, and if she is not there, go to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Acimuls, and if she has left there, visit the hull of the Association for Alleviating the miseries of the Stn- egambiaus, and if she has finished up there, look for her at the Church Aid Society or at the ninth ward sonp house, or at the Home of the One-legged, or at the Refuge for Infirm Dogs, or at the Hosoital for the Hsthmatic, or the St. Polvcarp Orphan Asylum, or at some of these pluces. If you got on her trail you’ll see more paupers, and strong- minded women, and underclothing for the heathen than you ever saw in the whole course of your life ’’ “I wanted to sell her u cool-handle flat iron, juit out. Do you think she will buy one ?’’ “She will if you can prove that the naked cannibals in Senegambia are yearning for cool-handle flatirons. She would buy diamond breast-pins for vhc niggers if the) wanted them, I believe.’’ “I intend also to offer her a new kind of immovable hair pin, which—” “All right! You just go down to die Home of the One-legged, and persuade those cripples to cry for immovable hair pins, and sho’li order ’em by the ton.” "Has she any children ?” “Well, I’m the one that appears to have ’em just now, anyhow.” “Besides I have a gum top for a feed ing botth; this is the nicest thing you ever saw.” “Now,” said Mr. Bird, “I’ll tell you what to do. You get those paupers to swear they can’t eat the soup they get at the soup house with spoons, but they must have it from a bottle with a rub ber noz/.le, and Mrs. Bird will keep you so busy supplying the demand that you won’t have a chance to sleep. \ T ou just try it. Buy up the paupers. Bribe ’em!’’ "How’ll I know her if I see her?” “Why, Bhe’s a large woman with a bent nose, and she talks all the time. You’ll hear her talking as soon as get within a mile of her. She’ll ask you to subscribe to the Senegambian fund, and to the Asthmatic Asylum, beforo you can get your breath. Probably she’ll read you four or five letters from reformed cannibals.' But tion’t you mind ’em. My opinion is she wrote ’em herself.” "Shall I tell her you told me to call upon her?” “It doesn’t make any difference. But you might mention that since she left home the baby has had four fits, John ny has fallen out of the pear tree and cracked his skull, Mary and Jim both have something like croup, and Tom my has been bitten by Jones’ dog. It won’t excite her; she won’t care a cent; but I’d like her to have the last news. Tell her if she enn manage to drop in here for a few minutes between now and the Fourth of July, she might may be wash the baby, and give the other children a chance to remember how she looks. But she needn’t come if it will interfere with the happiness of the one-legged mendicants, or make her asthmatics miserable. Mind and men' tion it to her now, will you ?" “I will.” “All right then. I’ll go in and put some fresli sticking plaster on Johnny's skull.” And with the baby singing a vocifer ous solo, and the other children clinging to his legs, Mr. Bird retreated and shut the door. The agent had determined to propose to a girl that night. He changed his mind and resolved to re main a bachelor. President Hayes in his veto message, says the Baltimore Sun, does not seem to be in accord with the electoral commis sion. That body, to which Mr. Hayes owes his election, decided that it had too much respect for States’ rights to see that votes were honestly counted. It decided that Congress bad nothing to do with elections in the States, and was but a registering and recording body. But M r. Hayes says “it is tha right of every citi zen possessing the qualifications prescri bed by law to cast one unintimidated ballot and to have his ballot honestly counted,” and he considers that the elec tion laws and force bills in the statutes are meant to secure all this. But if they had really done so in 187G the veto pow er of Mr. Hayes would be of very small account just now.
