% .1 MANSION FOR YOU AND FOR
ME.
“In mv Father’s house are many man
sions, if it were not sol would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you.”—
John 14-2.
There is a mansion for you and for me,
A mansion so bright and so fair,
And its beauty by faith we can see,
We will soon be at home over there.
Though the journey be tedious and long.
We will not stop to rest by the way ;
We are cheered by our Lord and made
strong,
For the pilgrims must make no delay.
We as pilgrims are traveling to God,
Oft the way may seem lonely and
drear;
Many pilgrims this same road have trod,
We will travel along without fear,
if sinners will not join our band,
By God’s grace let us still journey on;
'Till our eyes sec that beautiful land,
Though our garments be tattered and
torn.
Over death’s narrow stream we must
go,
To thebeautifal mansions of rest;
For the Saviour himself will bestow,
A crown on the heads of the blest. j
We will stand on the heavenly shore,
We will join inthesougs of ihe blest;
And there shall be sorrow no more,
For our souls shall eterually rest.
Four Ways of Getting Rid of the Surplus
The chairrnac ot the committee on
finance of lire Lime Kiln Club
expressed bis readiness to report on
the inquiry “How shall we use the 1
surplus in the Treasury ?” and re
ported as following:
“1 Gibebery city in de kentry
a millyon dollars to spend in flab
'7orks.
“2. Huy f o’ millyon b .shels of corn
peanuts an’distribute’em free to all.
“*> Her boss races an’ prize fights
once a week, wid admishun freo.
* “4 Distribute Waterbury watches
‘.n7 roller skates free to all, an’doan
charge nobody unfliu’fur lemonade.” j
In Uncle Sum's Regular Army.
I have been in the service of Uncle Sam for
just one month, and have five years and
eleven months yet to servo. I wish I was out
of it, but i have no one to blame for it but
tnyself. I was broke on the town, and sit
ting in a peep o’ day house, expecting the
barkeeper would turn me out, when two sol
diers camo in. They wore the uniform of
privates, but their clothes fit them likodudes,
and, now that I come to think of it, were of
much tatter cloth than what I have got on.
They seemed to have plenty of money, and
asked mo to take a drink. Then they got to
tolling stories about the gay lifo the boys led
in the army—nothing to do, but plenty to
eat, n night in town every week. One of
them sai 1 that no citizen stood a show against
a soldier w;ill the ladies. The other said it
was mighty hard to get into the army, but
he had taken a fancy to me, and if I wanted
to try it he would speak to the captain, lie
then staked me for a “quarter” to get a bed,
an 1 the next day I met the young fellows at
tli” recruiting < tli ■ , an . hero I am, the vic
tim of two “slit k cappers;” “body snatchers”
1 call them. There i. no use deserting, bo
•ausc th j always bring you bock, and any
tarrocks is better than working on the forti
\fications at Fort Leavenworth.—A Recruit
in G lobo-Democrat.
A Great Cause of Profanity.
Tho number of papers that lose their wrap
pers in the mails is enormous. The principal
reason is that they are put on with i>oor
mucilage. It is astonishing what a great
variety of worthless mucilage is sold in tho
stationery stores under various labels. It is
very en.'isp'ruting to try anil put up a paper
with mucilage and (hid it unroll about ns fast
as it I- wrapp 'd. That is what happens when
nine out of ten of the different samples of
mucilage one is offered in the stores is used.
The poor quality of this mucilage l> probably
attributable to the high rate ut which gain ,
urabic has bevn sold siuco tho war in ths
Soudan.—New Vovk I. veiling Sun.
