To see each other’s face.”
In a certain town where the confer

with extraordinary hospitality. Every
housekeeper had the table groaning with
fried chicken and yellow gravy. All the
choice fowls were killed off to satisfy
the white cravatted epicures. The day
after adjournment the evening paper of
the town had a picture showing two
scrawny looking young roosters peeping
at each other out from under the barn,
and then, crossing their necks, saying>
“And are we vet .alive
To see each other's face?”

A LITTLE ORATION FOR THE FAMILY
CIRCLE.—TO MY WIFE.
For thirty long years we have traversed the
sands
Of life’s storm swept desert together.
Toiling, struggling and suffering in various
lands
Little cheeked by the stress of hard weather.
We’ve given out strength, through the liest of
ourdaja.
To the one aim of blessing our kind.
Aud no thought of emolument, profit, or praise
Has been suffered to rest In our mind,
Many sorrows we’vo known, many tears we
have shed,
As our feet have been pierced by the way.
Fierce tempests of grief have raged overhead;
While dark clouds tauve obscured the bright
day.
But the Master’s blessing and hand has guided
usstill.
And His favor has brought us along.
For our purpose has been to work out his will.
And employing his strength wc*vo been strong.
And as we stand here, past the brow of life's
hill
With short stretch of the journey ahead;
Patient, ready and willing to battle on still,
Till we gather a crown for each head.
Our life has not been one of sorrow alone,
For much pleasure has brightened each day,
And God’s boundless goodness, we’ll gladly
make known
To every one passing our way.
We’ve heard the glad statement of good we've
done,
As made by the Father above,
And we've shouted his praise over victories won
" idle our souls have been thrilled by His love.
We’ve had food and raiment in ample supply
I roin storehouses to us all unknown.
With shelter sufficient, we scarce can tell why
Save that God wili provide for his own.
Our children stand round us, bright,handsome
and brave.
Well received ‘mongst the purest and best,
We've not been called, in the cold silent grave
To lay one ot our darlings to rest,
Our prospects are clear, none can have sweeter
cheer,
In scanning the days yet to come,
So we’ll gladly go on, in the way ho makes clear
Till we reach our bright Heavenly home.
Then hack to t his world we'll direct a fond gaze
And beckon the loved ones left here
To come on and join us in chorus of praise
To him who hath loved us so dear.
