I give thee love, as God gives light,
Aside from merit or from prayer ;
Rejoicing in its own delight,
And freer than the lavish air.
I give thee prayers like jewels strung
On golden threads of hope and fear,
And tenderer thoughts than ever hung
On a sad angel’s glittering tear.
I give thee treasures, hour by hour,
Which old—time princes asked in vain,
And pined for in their useless power,
And died of passion's eager pain.
; As earth pours freely to the sea
Her thousand streams of wealth‘untold,
So flows my silent life to thee,
Glad that its very sands are gold.
What care I for thy carelessness ?
I give from depths that overflow :
Regardless that "my power to bless
Thy soul can neither sound nor know.
Far lingering on some distant shore
My triumph comes—more sweet their late;
When from these mortal mists withdrawn
- Thy soul shall 'know inc—I can wait.

The Hop Pickers.
an Tacoma, W. T.
This section of the country is as widely
known for hop raising as is Delaware for her
peaches, Connecticut her nutmegs, Michigan
her wheat, or California her fruits. What is
called the prairie, a large tract of land lying
southeast of Tacoma, upon both banks of
the Puyallup River, is extensively set with
the vine, and now their harvest begins. ,The
pickers come from every part of Puget
Sound and British Columbia. They bring
their families with them, and it looks quite
amusing to take a walk along the shore and'
see those that have already arrived and those
that are still coming. They bring their er:-
tire families with them, dogs and babies, and
their tents and household utensils. They
hang their kettles on poles and cook their
food and bake their bread in what is known
upon the coast as a “dutch oven,” It is
simply a kettle with a tight fitting lid, and
into this they put their bread to be baked,
and after building a fire and accummulating
a large quantity of coals they then place this
kettle upon them and in a little while their
bread is baked, and it is quite good to one'
that is hungry, but would not like to have it
for a steady diet. I once took dinner with a
camping party and their bread was baked in
this way.
Some of the young Indian girls that I have
seen here that have come from British 001—
umbia, would, if dressed in American style,
he called quite pretty, with their wealth of
raven hair hanging carelessly over their
shoulders, their regular features and clear
laughing eye gives to them an expression of
beauty that the belles of Eastern society can
never attain not even with their bleashing
powder. These children, with poverty and
ignorance, seem to be happy and often have
I walked down by the shore to chat with
them, but meet with as much headway as
would a Frenchman and a Yankee. The
men take as little pride with their person as
the opposite sex. All go with their hair un-
ccmbcd, and the men wear their’s hanging
upon their shoulders and cut straight across
and continually falling into their eyes. 00'
casionally you will meet one that is some-
what civilized, when he will become niccly
dressed, hair closely cut, with a becoming
but upon his head, and ‘one could hardly
realize what a change it would work for the
better; also with the opposite sex. I have
met a few that are more than half white
that would be called nice looking, but few
seem to take any pride with themselves and
will go through the streets shoelcss, with a
mere handkerchief tied about their head and
generally wear blue or red, or some other
flashy color that causes them, to look con—
spicuous. As a class, they are not altogether
inviting to the untrained, at first sight would
become revolting, but custom is everything
and naturally one falls into line and floats
with the current. They camp here for a few
days previous to their departure to the hop
picking. Their canoes are all of-cne model
-—long and narrow, but they will force them
through the water noiselessly and,very rap-
idly. .
They do not remain here very long before
they take their departure up the river to the
picking grounds. Herc can be seen every
variety, class, color, age and sex, all mingled
together picking hops. Here is the man with
the wrinkled brow, who has probably passed
four score years or more, with his hair sprin-
kled with gray and his forehead furrowed
with age and care, while by his side sits a
laughing happy dame; children occasionally
throws a hop or so into the basket; but as a,
rule, the children do not pick much as they
soon become tired of the monotonous work
and the bulk of the labor is performed by the
patient old man and his fair spouse-
After the hops are gathered they are plac-
ed in a drying room, and after being thor—
oughly cured are baled and sold. The crop
here is above the average this year, and of a
good quality. The only trouble they have to
encounter is lack of labor to gather them, as
other kinds of work is plenty with better
wages, and Indians are the principal pickers
and they do not like to work very hard, and
subsist chiefly by fishing and tilling the soil.
Seldom will you see the man carry anything
as that labor is imposed upon her,,and you
will see them go through the streets carcworn
and bent over, caused by carrying these
heavy burdens, and they may be seen ped—
dling their fish from house to house, the man
accompanying her, but she will do the work,
harness and unharness the horses when in
town while he will be spectator.
Some scasws the hops are nearly a failure,
and when this happens it leaves the farmer
nearly destitute, as it does in any section of
the country where a farmer makes a specialty
of any one thing. A rotation of crops is the
only success to farming and where that is
followed up a healthier and wealthier com-
munity is always to be found. These farm-
ers, instead of making one thing a specialty,
should raise cattle and sheep for which their
land is well adopted-and a good for them, as
now the most of the cattle comes from Port—
land. Feed is here in abundance all summer,
. while the winters are very mild with but
little snow, and when it falls does not stay
long upon theground.
1 have talked with many farmers lately
and they tell me they cannot make farming
pay. How is it, on a virgin soil that is ap-
parently inexhaustible? With a climate
that is delightful with rain at the right season
and at the right time; with very light taxes
and other expenses proportionately light and
yet they say they cannot make farming pay
and many have sold their farms for less than
the improvements they put upon them.
Wherever I go the same old story is heard,
“farming will not pay."
Cannot some philosopher be able to step
into this arena at this difilcut moment and
explain a method in which farming can be
conducted so as to pay? There is a fortune
for the discoverer. EDWIN CoMs'roox'.

My countrymen, we do‘not now differ in
our judgment concerning 'the controversies
children will not be divided in their opinions
concerning our controversies. They will
surely bless their fathers and their fathers’
God that the Union was preserved, and that
slavery was‘overthrown, and that both races
were made equal before the law. We may
hasten or we may retard; but we cannot pre-
vent thc final reconciliation. Is it not possi—
ble for us now to make a truce with time by
anticipating and accepting its inevitable ver-
dict? Enterprises of the highest importance
to our moral and material Well-being invite
us, and offer ample scope for the employment
of our best powers. Let all our people, leav-
ing behind them the battle fields of dead
issues, move forwrrd, and in the strength of
liberty and the restored Union win the grand-
er victories of peace.

Finally. acting always within the authority
and limitations of ' the constitution, invading
neither the rights of the States nor the re-
served rights of the people, it will be' the.
' purpose of my administration to maintain
the authority of the government in all places
within its jurisdiction, to enforce obedience
to all the laws of the Union in the interests
of the people, to demand rigid economy in
all the expenditures of the government, and
to require the honest and faithful service of
all the executive oflieers, remembering that
the ofiicemcre created not for the benefit of
incumbents or their supporters, but for the
service of the government.
And now, fellow—citizens, I am about to
assume the great trust which you have com—
mitted to my hands. I appeal to you for that
earnest and thoughtful support which makes
this government, in fact, as it is in law, a
government of the people. I shall greatly
rely upon the wisdom and patriotism of Con-
gress, and of those who may share with me I
the responsibilities and duties of administra-
tion. And above all, upon our efforts to
promote the welfare of this great people and
their government, I reverently invoke the
support and blessings of Almighty God.
Mrs. Garfield on Woman’s Work.
The following is an extract from a private
letter of Mrs. Garfield‘to her husband, writ-
ten over ten years ago. Falling into the.
hands of Pres. B. A. Hinsdale of Hiram
College, Ohio, he used it to illustrate 9. Ice-
ture. After this it appeared in the Student,
apaper published by the students of Hiram
College:
“I am glad to tell you, that out of all the
toil and disappointment of the summer just
ended, I have risen up to a victory; that si-
lence of thought since you have been away,
has won for my spirit a triumph. I read
something like. this the other day: There is
no healthy thought without labor, and
thought makes the labor happy.’ Perhaps
this is whyI have been able to climb up
higher. It camcto life one morning when I
was making bread. I said to myself : ‘Here
I am, compelled by an inevitable mcessity
to make our bread this summer. Why not
consider it a pleasant occupation, and make
it so by trying to see what perfect bread I
can make?’ It seemed like an inspiration»
and the wholeof life grew brighter.The very
sunshine seemed flowing down through my
spirit into the white loaves,and now-ff believe
my: table is furnished with'better bread than
ever before; and this truth, old as creation,
seems just now to have become fully mine-—
that I need not be the shrinking slave of toil,
but its rggal master, making whatever I do
yield me its best fruit. You have been king
of your work so long, that. may be you will
laugh at me for having lived so long Without
my crown; but I am too glad to have found
it at all, to be entirely disconcerted even by
your merriment. Now, I wonder if right
here does not lie the ‘tcrrible' wrong,’ or at
least some of it, of which.the woman suf—
fragists complain. The wrongly educated
woman thinks her duties a disgrace, and
frets under them, or shirks them- if she can.
She sees man triumphantly pursuing his vol
cations, and thinks it is the kind of work he
does which makes him grand regeant;
whereas it is not the kind of work at all, but
the way in which and the spirit with which
he does it."
A Glasgow Factory Boy.
Just above the wharves of Glasgow,-on
the banks of the Clyde, there once lived a
factory boy, whom I will call Davie. At
the age of ten, he entered a cotton factory
as “pincer.” .He was employed from six
o’clock in the morning till eight at night.
His parents were very poor, and he well
knew that his must be a boyhood of very
hard labor. But then and there, in that
buzzing factory, be resolved that he would
obtain an education, and would become an
intelligent and useful man. With his very
first week’s wages he purchased Ruddiman’s
Rudtnwnts of Latin. He then entered an ev-
ening school, which met between the hours
of eight- and ten. He paid the expenses of
his instruction out of his own hard earnings.
At the age of sixteenhc could read Virgil
and Horace as readily as the pupils of the
English grammar schools.
He next began a course of self instruc-
tion. He had been advanced in the factory
from a “piecer” to the spinning jenny. He
brought his books to the factory, and placing
one of ;them on the f‘jenny,” with the
lesson open before him, be divided his at-
tention between the running of the spindles
and the rudiments of knowledge. ;H_e now
began to aspire to become a preacher and
a. missionary. and to devote his life in some
self-sacrificing way to the goods of mankind.
'He entered Glasgow University. He knew
thathc must work his way; but he also
knew the power of resolution, and he was
willing to makenlmost any sacrifice to gain
the end. .He worked at cotton-spinning in
the summer, lived frugally, and applied his
earnings to his college studies in the winter.
He completed the allotted course, and at.
the close was able to say, with praiseworthy
pride, “I never had afarthing that [did not
corn.” ’ ‘
That, boy was Dr. David Livingtonc.—-'
Chatterbox. ‘
General Longstrcet, in a recent conversa-
tion about Jeff Davis’s book, said of certain
leading generals : '
“General Lee was a noble character, but
he was not a perfect :field marshal. He was
not always cool in the heat of battle, and
that is really the greatest test of a comma n-
dci’s power. General Stonewall Jackson
not only had perfect control of his nerves in
battle and out of it, but he had the additional
merit of being able to move his troops with
great promptness and of executing his plans
with marvelous decision. Jackson was a
great field marshal. Nearly all of General
Grant’s military ability is his sublime control
of himself. Ninety-nine officers out of every
hundred in the army would probably pass a
better theoretical examination than Grant;
but, when the blood begins to run, or there
is a man wanted for an emergency, Grant
would be head and shoulders above them all.
The excitement of battle seems to cool rather
than circitc him. He is a great practical
soldier.” ' '

Making His Own Butter.
EXPERIENCE 0F_A MAN WHO WOULDN‘T EAT
OLEOMABGARINE.
' Oil City Derrick. -
A man who redides in the. suburbs of Oil
City, recently purchased some oleomargarinc.
He didn’t know it until he had eaten it. That
made him mad. Of course it did. People
don’t like to eat butter and then find out it
was olcomargarinc.
Well, he swore he would be deceived no
more; no never.
He would make his own butter.
He bought a cow.
He milked the cow.
That is to say, his wife did ; but as man
and wife are one, in reality he milked the
cow.
In time cream rose on the milk.
It rose in goodly quantities and was col-
lected by the wife.
On Saturday evening, as, the man was
starting out to spend the evening, the wife
remarked:
“You must come home early, so as to get
up in the morning and churn the butter be-
fore going to church."
He said he would.
He came home early—in the morning.
About two o’clock.
His wife remarked, distinctly—
“Now, sir, I want you to prepare-7”
“Two pair—hicj—no good.”
That was suflicicnt.
She soon after rose.
_ He retired, without the formality of re-
moving his boots.
She was mad.
He was sleepy.
Being mad, she churned the butter and put
it away, leaving the buttermilk in the churn.
Being sleepy, he did not hear her.
Before leaving for church she wiped the
outside of the churn, concealed the butter
and left the buttermflk in the churn.
She also left a note, telling him the churn
was already for him to commence operations.
“He said:
“D—d~—d—dash ’er churn.” ;
It was a dasher-churn.
He feared his wife, as all men do, and
commenced churning.
He commence! at nine o’clock.
At half-pastnine he looked to see if it was
“coming.” *
It did not appear to be.
At a quarter past ten he looked again.
Result of inspection not encouraging.
At twenty minutes to eleven, pcrspiling
freely, he happened to think of the bottle of'
brandy kept in the house for medical pur-
poses. . ' _
.Thc butter was not “coming," neither was
his wife.
But the brandy was forthcoming.
_Hc drank heavily. ;
At a quarter to twelve he stopped again
and made another examination.
Result was to warrant another drink.
He was getting mad.
At half-past twelve he took a7 lunch and
'continued churning.
At ten minutes past one he looken to see
if his wife was coming. .
She was not nor the butter.
At half-past two he could stand it no long-
er. ‘
And, therefore, took another drink.
Then he churned five minutes.
He then swore a few minutes.
Next he took his gun and loaded it.
down completely- Exhausted.
Ten minutes later he had demolished the
churn with a hatchet, and was just going to
shoot the cow when his wife came in almost
breathless and put him to bed.
Bishop Willlam’s Monday
Address.
The congregation of St. Thomas’s and
Christ churches had an address from Bishop
Williams at the Christ church services Mon-
day afternoon which to those who heard it
will be one of the lasting associations of that
memorable day. It is to be regretted that
there could be no verbatim report of it, for
any notes of it are meagre. Not to do more
than mentioh one or two impressive facts to
which he called attention, he pointed out the
curious coincidence that the four bishops who
authorized the service (used at the time) for
their respective diocese, and who happened
to be together in New York city, were rcprc
sentative, one from the extreme south (Flor-
ida), one from the northern limit of the south
(East in Maryland), one from the middle
states (New York), and one from New Eng-
land (Connecticut), and that one thought was
in the hearts of all, seeking expression in the.
form of service prepared. He also called at.
tention to the fact that in all the small
provincial newspapers of the British empire
constant bulletins of the late president’s con-
ditidn were published. Then he urged the
significance of the tolling of the great bell of
St. Paul’s. London, on the day of the funeral,
a thing which was never done except in the
cases of the deaths of the greatest dignitaries
in the British realm.:Thc blood of thousands
brouht the peace which came after the revo-
lution. Now the blood of one,- in this year
in which we are soon to celebrate the centen-
nial of the closing act of that war, brings a
far greater and stronger bond. He touched
briefly upon the life of President Garfield
and upon the affliction of the bereaved widow
whose choice seems to be that words would
leave her. as in that rotunda'of the capitol
“alone with her dead and with her God” and
thenrurged telling lessons of political duty
that come out of the event. Let there be no
“steel of the assassin sharpened on the desire
of political greed, nor purpose behind a pistol
shot come from the thought of official spoils.”
The crime of Guiteau he dwelt upon as a
crime against God—against the powers or-
dained of God.—Oonrant. .

Francis A. Rockwell.
Ridgefleld Press,
A , prominent, useful and well rounded
life has closed in the. death of IF. A. Rock-
well. An un'ostentatious practical Christian
has finished his career on earth. Only God,
his immediate family and the recipients of
his kindness thoroughly realized what a
rent sympathetic heart beat in his breast.
n early manhood he was engaged in man-
ufacturing, and his good were known in
every market in the country. Later, during
the war, his business was located in Wash-
ington, and it was then, through his con-
nection with the Connecticut commission
for the relief of wounded soldiers that he
found greater opportunities for developing
his love for his fellowmen. Although not
a politician, he has always taken a deep in-
terest in everything which affected the in-
fluence and welfare of Ridgeflcld. He has
several times been a representative in the
state legislature, and has always been as-
signed important places upon the commit-
tees. As a husband and father, the love and
harmony of that, until, now unbroken and
happy family circle, needs no comment. As
a friend and neighbor, his pleasant face and
cordial greeting will be sadly missed. At 63
years of age, he has in one short week been
stricken. down from the full health and vigor
of manhood, but as his whole life has been
only an apprenticeship :to a higher, he passed
away entirely prepared, and in the possession
of his faculties to the last.

Brave Deeds can Never Die.
BY W. BENNETT.
A'nation pauses in its onward march
To lay its martyred hero in the tomb.
The mighty engincry of commerce, hush'd
To silence for a single day, stands still,
And all the busy marts of trade are hung
In sackcloth. Mourning emblems, signs of
grief,
Greet the eye at every turn, and sounds of
woe
Are heard throughout the land.
Alas, for me. .
“I have no time to weep,” Napoleon said,
As thundering on in headlong charge he
Passed the spot where lay his bravest, dead,
But now, behold the millions of the free,
Standing this day beside the open grave, .
With bared and reverent head and solemn
main——
With tcar-dim’d eyes and bush of awe, each
heart .
, Throbs wildly, and the hands, releas’d
' from toil,
Hang listless down, as the doleful rattle
Of the earth falling on the coflln’d dead
“Earth to earth 1 Ashes to ashes! Dust to
dust I”
And now the nation’s hero is no more.
No more shall that brave arm do valiant fight
In freedom's noble cause. No more be heard
That clarion voice proclaiming for the right,
And causing freedom’s haughty fees to quail.
That eye, Once piercing as the eagle's now
Is dim and sightiess, and fcrever closed.
The hand that bore the sceptre of the free—
The arm that wielded valiantly the sword
Against the nation’s foes, is pulscless now,
And Garfield, noblelGodlikc, Garfield, dead!
Yet Garfield lives.

The hand that reared yon pyramid, that ages
' long
Hath stood in awful silence, and looked
down
Upon the multitudes that throng Rs base,
Long since hath crumbled to its kindred dust ;
But the huge pile still rears aloft its head
To greet the morningsun, as streaming o'er
Brave deeds can never
The sea, his orient beams fall lightly on
Its brow.
So shall it be with thee. O thou
Martyred dead. Thy hand hath reared for
thee
A monument more during, far, than all
The granite piles that lift their giant forms
O'er the desert sands of hoary Egypt, ‘
That voice, 1110' hush’d in death, shall ring
Adown the aycnues of time, and be
To us who follow, as the voice of God,
Bidding us be mindful ever of the
Heritage nobly handed down by him.
Yes—Garfield lives! Beside each winter's
fire,
'Where children gather round—where moth-
ers sit, . '
His manly deeds shall be recounted, and
W here’r God’s people gather ’mid the hush
Of Sabbath's sacred hours to offer there .
The sacrifice of praise and thankfulness,
E’cn there his influence shall be felt,
And prayer shall be more ardent,
And faith wax all the stronger as each soul
Remembers how our Garfield prayed, and
how
His voice from out the holy place'was raised
In supplicaticn for the nation’s weal.
Yes, Garfield lives. Deep down amid the
slums
Of wickedness, where bad men congregate,
And there concoct their devilish ‘ schemes,
and‘ where .
They sneer at virtue pure, and: pour con-
tempt
On all that’s good and noble in our race—
Even there his influence if felt, and men
Close tight the blinds and bar the cheerful
light
Lest haply some glance,
once -
Gleaming cyc, should penetrate the murky
gloom.
And thus betray them. ,
Virtue will walk more firmly, and sneaking
Vice shall hide in deeper dark its horrid head, .
Because of him.
Freedom shall lift her head,
Andrear aloft her proudest emblem, while
The millions of our land shall sing for'joy,
And tell in words of -fondest praise of him.
Good men all shall better grow from having
Such a model, and as the ages roll,
And untold millions hie them to our shores,.
The deeds of Garfield shall by all be sung,
His grandest monument.

Not as when some great captain falls
In battle, .where his country calls,
Beyond the struggling lines
That push his dread designs
To doom, by some stray ball struck do:
Or, in the last charge, at the head
Of his determined men
Who must be victors then.
Nor as when sink the civic great,
The safer pillars of the state,
_ Whose calm, mature, wise words
Suppress the need of swords.
With no such tears as e’er were shed
Above the noblest of our dead
' Do we to-day deplore
The Man that is no more.
Our sorrow bath a wider scope
Too strange for fear, too vast for hope,
A wonder, blind and dumb
That waits—what is to come!
Not more astounded had we been
It madness, that dark night, unseen,
Had in our chambers crept
And murdered while we slept!
'Wc woke to find a mourning earth,
Our Lares shivered on the hearth,
The roof-tree fallen, all
That could 'alfright, apps! !
The time, the place, the stealing shape,
The coward shot, the swift escape,
The wife, the widow’s scream,—
It is a hideous dream!
A dream 2’ What means this pageant, then ?
These multitudes of solemn men
Who speak not when they meet,
But throng the silent street?
The flags half-mast that late so high
Flaunted at each new victory?
(The stars no brightness shed,
But bloody looks the red 1)
Cursed be the hand that fired the shot,
The frenzied brain that hatched the plot,
Thy country’s Father slain V
By thee, thou worse than Cain!
Tyrants have fallen by such as thou
And good has followed—may it now!
3 (God lets bad instruments
‘ Produce the best events.)
But he, the man we mourn today,
No tyrant was: so mild a sway
In one such weight who bore
Was never known before.
One of the People! Born to be
Their curious epitome;
To share, yet rise above
Their shifting hate and love.
0 honest face that all men knew!
0 tender heart, but known to few!
0 wonder of the age
Cutoff by tragic rage!
Peace! Let the sad procession go,
While cannon boom and bells toll slow.
And go thou, sacred car,
Bearing our woe afar!
Go, darkly borne from state to state
Whose loyal, sorrowing wait
To honor all they can
The dust of this good man.
Go, grandly borne. with such strain
The just, the wise, the brave
Attend thee to the grave.
And there his countrymen shall come
With memory proud, with pity dumb,
-'And strangers far and near,
For many and many a year.
For many a year and many an age
While History on her ample page
The virtues shall enroll
Of that Paternal Soul.
THE ACADEDIY BELL.

The rich air is sweet with the breath of Sep-
tember,
The sumach is staining the hedges with
red;
Soft rest on the hill-slopes the light, we re-
member,
The glory of days which so long ago fled,
When brown-checked and ruddy,
Blithe-hearted and free,
The summon to'study
We answered with glee.
Listen, 0! listen once more to the swell
Of the masterful, merry academy hell!
187.
That tocsin which gathers the far-scattered
clans ; .
From playtime and leisure fleet-footed they
rally, '
Brave lads and bright leases, o'crflowing
with plans;
From croquet and cricket
To blackboard and map,
II but shooting a wicket;
No fear of mishap.
O Hark l~ how it echoes through dinglc and
dell,
The jocund, the earnest academy bell I
Then fly, at its call,from soft mother-caresses;
The boy will not tarry,the girl cannot wait;
So the round head close clipped and the loose
flowing tresses
Together flush out from the vine trelllsed
gate ; .
And the house that was holden
By revel supreme,
. Is wraped in the golden
Fair peace of a dream.
To sisters and mothers how silvcrn the swell
Ohm: zest-bringing, easeful academy bell.
The path by the river, where willowsare
dropping,
Is radiant with children. The long city
street. .
All busy with trafilc, makes room for their
trooping,
feet.
For the poet and preacher,
The man of affairs,
And the gentle home,teacher,
O’ciburdened With cares,
Alike spare a moment to wishing them well,
Who speed when they hear the academy bell.
God bless them, our darlings! God give them
full measure
Of joy at the fountains of wisdom and truth;
We tenderly view the enchantment of pleasure
Which royally lies on the days of their
youth; .
For, brown-checked and ruddy,
When children at home,
That summons to study
Once called us to come.
And inlet is departed We hear in the swell
0f the never-forgetting academy bell-
