LOVE ME NOW.
(By request.)
If you're ev. r going to love mo,
Love me now, wlill" I can know
All the sweet and tender feelings
Which from r< al affection tlow.
Love me now while I am living,
Do not wait till I am gone.
And then chisel it in marble—
Warm love words on ice-cold stone.
If you've d< >r. sweet thoiu his about me,
Why not whisper them to me?
Don't you know ’twouid m-'il' me happy,
And as glad as glad can be?
If you wait till I am sb • ping,
Ne'< r to wak'-n lure again.
There’ll be walls of earth between us.
And 1 couldn't hear you then.
If you knew some ono was thirsting
For a drop of water stv< > t.
Would you be so slow to bring it?
Would you step with laggard feet?
There are tender hearts all round us
Who are thirsting tor our love;
Why withhold from tin m what nature
Makes them crave all else above?
I won't neid your kind caresses
When tin- grass grows o'i r my face;
I won't crave your love or kisses
In my last, low resting place.
So, then, if you love me any,
If it's but a litllo b.t,
Ijet me know it now, while living,
1 can own and treasure it.
COMPLIMENTS OF tIiE SEASON.
The season for Christmas greetings l.ns i
again rolled around. It seems but on y ■
yesterday that w. were wishing our r ad- ■
ers a "Happy Christmas,” and yet a whole :
tv -lw -month iris p ss.?'l nd 'm-a W■-
son has brought witit it many attractions,
but with none come such an outpouring of
joyful emotions as during the happy Christ-
B'l.iS thh*.
Th*? very atmosphere scents filled with
good cheer, and <vry face beams with
joyful anticipation. Did 1 say every lace? •
Alas! there are only too n.tmv sad, pain j
faced women and children who .stand aside '
as the merry throng pass by and look with ■
longing eyes on their happiness. They have ,
noil neither pat t, pr. < t nor futun
to look to for joy or pleasure. The cruel (
hand of poverty, affliction or vice. Ims done ;
Its work, and they know not where to turn, :
Happy the heart that will turn aside from
Ils own pleasures and joys, to hmd out a I
helping hand to unfortunate humanity. |
In giving pleasure to oth> rs we ree ivc the i
largest po ■• ■ the bl- big. If wo would ■
Lave a happy <’lit : ill -. ourseLes, look
around ami find some other heart to till
with joy, and t n, and < then, can we

If there can b>» no practicable, application

Herbert Spencer, the world’s authority on
education, iajs that the rudiments of
science form the best basis ibr intellectual
culture. This is rtainly a science and
the accuracy of attention to minutiae thus
cultivated will boos great aid in other
pursuits. When Agassiz, the great nat
uralist, was invited Io speak before a
b-arned body on entomology h<- began by
banding to each person present a grass
hopper. He said that, he intended then
to discuss grasshoppers, but he could not
trust, even th. so m< n to know how many
cm-s ami kgs the creature -had and how
they were placed. Just think how mo
notony or ennui, as the French call it,
will fly far from us when w-rything
around ns takes on its new .and sanctified ■
value. While wo estimate at its full value
th- mental uplift, wo would ■ specially
stress the heart culture that would go
with it. Sentiment ami intelligence, wihat
wonders would they xvork. and who knows
what naturalists might bo developed by

don’t do it—just now anyway. AH I ask

will then be a. protective association,

which I should strongly advise eo-oduca-
- tion, for each alike n--ds to be taught
I the preeiousnvs.s of life to all creatures,
. and the blessing will not be alone to the
animals which are allowed to dwell in
, p.-ace and comfort, but will be doubled and
redoubled to th.- young people themselves,

Mrs. S. C. Thompson, Welborn, Fla.—-I
see In reading the letters of the Kingdom
that some sisters are divided as to millen
nial dawn. I can only say lam glad to
see such division in my day which Is
proof of the "ingatherings,” but am sorry
to see such a spirit as to want to de
stroy another's private property just be
cause it does not suit their views. This
spirit put Into practice would destroy all
books for al! their enemies.. But, dear
sisters, let us reason together thus: No
evil brings tho fruit of peace and love; then
If this book brings peace and joy ami a
loving disposition, It must boa good book.
If it makes better husbands ami wives,
parents ami neighbors. Is this not proof :
Are these principles not Godlikeness? But,
dear sister.', remember th.it those who
love truth or rejoice in hope must suff-u
contradictions, for truth is sown only for
tho lovers of It. for no ono seeks a tiling
or rejoices In finding a thing if they did
rot wish It. You know Abel suffered
do,i(ji from a brother because he saw in
his typical Lamb a re-urn from - v : l. H
!.■; not heaven we want, but fr- edom from
sin; and God has promised freedom from
sin through Christ, and "millennial dawn.”
opens up the mysteries of God in <'!ir -t,
which is our hope, which -hope brings joy,
peace and love.

I j by CHARLES 13. LEWIS. ’
All day long we had been on the march
over tho frozen highways of Virg.tua—a
cavalry column two hundred strong out
on a scout. War a.s w-il as peace had its
Christmas. Back In winter quarters there
were hundreds of boxes to be unpacked on
the morrow, ami there would bo thousands
of letters with Christmas g’, - tings. Wo
antlcijiatid and talked of th'-se things as
the column picked its way ov> r the. frozen
mud, and can! J alarm to tlie hotnes of
people made w.-.-Lchcd by the red hind of
war.
There was no burning, no destroying.
We wondered if sentiment dlctati J tin or
der. On almost my other day burr i I
stacks and houses would have be n giV'-n
up to tho Hames, and war would havo
laughed at the old -m u and v. omen and
children left ut:.-lieiti-red Irom th- bkak
De-timber winds and flying simv. 11-ik*
Now ami then w»- encounter*-'! an enemy s
picket ut a highway bridge or a .-iot
roads. A few -catt'-ring shots, which p- r
liaps emptied a saddle or two. and then ive
were upon them ami they were <L ad or s nt
to the rear as prisoners. Now ami th- n
some bushwhacker, feeling secure in his
retreat in the woods, would send i auii'-t
into the marching column, and then a
score of him-coals would dismount ami
“rush” him, and his corps-? would be h it
unburied amidst tlie tangled undergrowth.
The d xsk oi wintet s evening
and candii-s have bei t di
houses, wiieri th*.- h*a*i of tho lioni'-
turning column suddenly str.k -a .-eoutaig
party in gray drawn up icross the road.
A dozen shots ring out we catch the
hoarse commands and yells oi di I'm ;>"'■-
and all is over before those in th" rear
know what is going on. Fifty blue-c"ais
have charged down upon and over a score
of cotib derates, killing, wounding ami aris -
ing, and the road i.s clear again. Tln re
aro men lying dead—th' re are wouml' d : ail
ing out. 1.-. L tile enemy bury I.:- 0.,n
dead ami i:av for h:s wounded. Our d. ad
ami woundi <1 go on with us.
In the gathering darkness, with the snow
flakes flying faster, we believe that all is
well. No one sees Corporal Troop as he
sways about In bis .saddle ami linaHy
into '- road d< ■" ■
The bullet and the fall benumb him, and ho
is lying beside a dead confed'-i'ati- as we
ride away. It is not a victory—imt a d'-
feat—a trifling in- Ident wh eli will hardly
l>e reported by tin? colonel In command.
War I.s sel!ish--pitile.ss- without mercy. An
army buries it.s iL-ad after a- battle .o get
the dead out of sight of the living. A fly
ing column can march away irom Its dead
ami save the, work of pick and spade.
