I am so glarl that our Father in heaven
Telia ot His love in the Book He has given;
Wonderful things iu the Bible I see:
This is the dearest, that Jeaus loves me.

J, sus loves me. Jesus loves me.
lam SO glad that Josug lov. s me,
Jesus loves even me.*
Though I forgit Him, arid wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever l stray;
Back to His dear loving arms would I fl-i ',
When I remember mat Jesus loves me.
Oh it there’s only ore song I can Ring,
When in His beauty I o- iho great King
I'nis shall my sou..'in eternity be,
•Oh, what a wmil r that Jesus lovea me.‘ .

Oh, I am certain that Jesus loves me.
It one should ask of me, how could I tell 1
Glory to Jesus I know very well;
God’s Holy Spirit with mint doth agree,
Constantly wituiaeifig—JestK loveg me.
lo this agsnrance I find sweetest rest,
I mating iu Jesus I know I am blest;
Satan dismayed, from my soul now doth
flee.
When t jhßt tell him that Jesus loves me.

I heab the Saviour say,
Thy strength iudeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Fled in Me thine all iu all.
Cho.—Jrsus paid it all,
All lo him I owe;
Sin had led a crim-ou stain:
He washed it while as anow.
Lori, now indeed I find
Thy power, and Thine alotuS,
Can change the Jep. r’s speta,
And melt this heart stone.
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim—
Idl wash my garment white
Iu the blood ol Cavalry's Lamb.
When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
Ilieu "Jtsps {mid it all"
Shall rend the vaulted skies.
And when betore the throne
I stand ia Him complete,
I'll lay my trophies down,
All down at Jesus' feet.

Tlie True Gentleman-
He is above a low act. He can
not stoop to commit a fraud, He
invades no eeoret in the keeping of
another. He takes selfish advan
tage of no man’s mistakes. He is
ashamed of innendoes. He uses no
ignoble weapons in controversy. Ho
never stabs in the dark. He is not
one thing to a man’s face and an
other to his hick, if by accident
he comes in'o possession of his
neighbor's counsels, he passes them
into instant oblivion, He hears scal
ed packages without tampering whJj
the wax, Papers not, meant brill
eye, wljulbcr they flutter in at the
window, or lie open before him' in
unregarded exposure, arc secret to
him. H" piofmes no privacy ol
uitnther however the sentry sleeps.
Bo'ti and bars,locks and keys,bonds,
and securities, notices to trespassers,
an- not for him. He uniy be trus
fed out of sight—tie ir' the thinnest
partidou —anywhere. He buys no
office, he sells none, intrigues for
none,. He would rather fair of his
rights than win them through dis
honor. He will eat honest bread
He tramples on no sensitive feelings.
There is a little boy in .South Nor
walk who has watched with envious
eves his comrades slide down hid,
while he having no sled, was com
pelled to take up with an old chair
or barrel stave. His foster-mother
filially told bin to pray for one. He
took his mother’s advice, and one
evening prayed as follows: “Now I
lay me down to sleep, I want a sled:
I pray the Lord my soul to keep, I
want a cutter:” The grandfather of
the little fellow was informed of the I
prayer, and was so pleased that he 1
bought a sled, and in a few morn
ings after it was left by his bed, so
that he could see it as soon as he
awoke. As bis eyes first rested up
on it the good lady behind the door
was both surprised aud shocked to
hear him say, “Well, now, where the
douse did-that come from ?”
A Noted Desperado.
Iu Longley, the desperado, who
has murdered thirty-two men, and
is now waiting to bo hanged in Lee
county, Texas, the hoys ol the coun
try may study in real life one of
those characters so often depicted in
cheap and sanguinary romances.
Longley is described by the Globe
Democrat as "scarcely yet in liis
24th year, with dark hnu>woru very
long and slightly parted at tho side;
coal black whiskers and heard that
shade a fine olive complexion; a nose
rather after the Greek model; teeth
white and beautiful as a woman’s;
ovoh l-lack ns midnight, that seem
literally alive with expression, which
their possessor seems little inclined
to curb or suppress.” He is con
fined in a dungeon “as dark and dis
mal as any pictured in the pages if
romance. A massive iron door from
the rear opens into a corridor dimly
lighted by rusty iron gratings. At
the further end is the cell of Iho des
perado, the strong iron door of which
is secured by massive locks, and
whose walls arc also massive.” This
handsome highwaymen and man
slayer, a Dick Turpin aud Claude
Duval combined, will undoubdy
swing from the gallows. The Court
of Appeals has confirmed his sen
tence, and there is no further hu| a
for him.

Rejected I lie I'l‘llllS
Tho old saying that some men
would want more if they had a bil
lion was exemplified yesterday when
a Windsorite aud a Detroiter got
into a dispute at the ferry dock.
Said the Canadian, ‘You ought to
ho well pouudod, aud I’m tho mail
who can do it. However, I don’t,
understand the laws over here and
don’t want to bo locked up. If you
will come over to Canada I’ll pay
your tare both ways on the boat,
buy your dinner,treat you to cigars,
lick you till you cau’t squeal, and
send you homo with beef on your
eyes 1‘
Tho American thought of the
proposition awhile and then asked;
‘lf I go over with you will you buy
mu anew overcoat ?‘
‘I -I—yes, by thunder I will!' re
plied th<T-mnd N\ indsoritc. *
‘And a suit of clothes?’ .
‘No I won’t! That's asking too
much !’
‘Well, these are the only terms I
was over licked ou,‘ calmly replied
the other, ‘and your rejection of
them shows that you aro all blow
and no fight.'
They took it out in jawing.
While we are in the dining-room
wo must not forget the lilile miss of
fivo or six summers, who uncon.
sciously perpetrated one of the best
jokes of tlie season. Wine was be
mg passed around, and she was in
vited to take some, but declined.
‘Why do you not take wine with
your dinner, Minnie? asked a gon
tieman who sat near her.
‘Tause I doesn’t like it.'
‘But take a little, then, my child,
for your stomach's sake,' ho urged.
‘i ain’t, dot no tommik’s ache.' ii •
diguantly responded the little Miss
in the most emphatio manner. As
both questions and answer were dis
tinctly hoard by those around, every
one hurst iuto ; laliglvter, ‘which so
frightened the little maid that she
cried.
The same little miss upon being
one day bantered because she was a
girl, aud having represented to her
that boys were much more useful
creatures in tile world,although they
were usually more trouble,was asked
if she did not wish sho were a bov.
‘N ■, indeed,' she quietly replied,
T‘ec„ worse ngyv, tli.an, most boys,' ,
The Boston Journal, a Republi
can paper, says t “Now do not let
any of the soldier boys imagine for
an instant that Butler’s recent an
tics were induced by auy great re
gard for the boys in blue, or that he
cared two continentals for the vete
ran James Shields. There is to be
an election next fall in this State,
and as Gen. Hi fields suggests in his
1 tter to Butler, asking for an in
crease of pension, “this kind act
would not injure you (Butler) in
New England.” He advocated
Shields because it would stimulate
the Irish voters to look with favor
upon him next Fall.”
A little one just beginning to talk,
j whoso parents live near the military
I camp, strayed away the other eve,
ning and for some minutes could
not b: found and when brought
homo, where her father, cautioning
her against running away, said.
"You in Han’t run away, tne soldiers
will c itch you. Ain’t you afraid of
the soldiers ?” “No,’' said the little
thing, “I ain’t ’faiil of sogers—why,
I ain’t even ’faid of a bummy bee.”
