Requiem. Let her rest; the weary night Never brought her dreams like this; Let her sleep; the morning light Shall not wake her from her bliss. Glad was she to end the fight; Death hath coijuered with a kiss. Tired eyes need watch no more; Flagging feet, the race is run; Hands that heavy burden bore. Set them down, then day Is done; Heart, be still—through anguish sore, Everlasting peace is won. —Chambers’s Journal. THE BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE. When a State, or national political convention is called it is expected that thousands of persons will feel sufficient interest in the proceedings, to pay their own expenses to the convention and to sacrifice time and health to the cause. It is almost true that the prevalent belief is universal that polities alone can arouse sufficient interest to cause men to leave their homes in the worst season of the year for travelers, where no material benefit is to be derived. To-day in Indianapolis wc find a striking illustration of the fact that moral influences are sufficient to induce, not men only, but women,to sacrifice comfort for a cause which is to benefit no single person but all mankind. Members of the Baptist Young People’s Union, after hours abaord hot trains, arrived at this, their convention city, enthusiastic in their mission. Many of these delegates have expended more time and money in this, the Master's cause, than politicians would devote for persona! account only. It is a significant sign. This is one of several great religious movements, so potent that the world’s attention has been drawn to them. It is one of the tendencies in the religious world to give the young people wider opportunity to work. Religion is a beautiful thing in the old. It is perhaps more impressive in the young. Why should not the young devote their abundant energies to the best cause known to man? It has been the cry of preachers since the Man of Nazareth appeared among men that youth is the time when the habit of doing good should be formed. The young Baptists are forming it. They are devoting themselves to a religious couse. They are seeing tens of thousands of other people. They will benefit by their experience. To see many men and many things is a good influence and an inspiration to good things, but besides seeing, these devoted people offer their time, their means, all the energies of their natures to work which is so dear to them. There is another phase of this effort. It is making some middleaged men and a few old men young again. This Young People’s.Union is not composed of children alone — except that they are all children of the one Father. The doctors of divinity, the learned men of many professions, men whose wisdom has come with years, and women whose experience goes bock to distant days. . are here and ail are as earnest and 1 enthusiastic as youth and faith can ■ make them. We welcome them all to Indiana’s capital. They bring I much good to us. May the city contribute to the benefits which they will derive from their association here. —Friday’s Indianapolis News. Tl*e Fair by Twilight. Come to this fifcy as a fair summer day is ending. Over it hangs a sky . with the blue of the sapphire in it—a rare thing in this region, for gray, the light that artists love, is th,e prevailing tone of Chicago skies. Tiie . sun below the horizon throws arose- \ colored glory into the western heav- 1 ens, fan-shaped like a royal banner. Above it the white light of day slow- i ly gives way to the blue that is! strongest just- before the blackness of night. The slender thread of a . ! new moon curls itself faint and pale out of the rosy glow that is yet too strong for the stars. The grayish white buildings that stand about the Court of Honor are mellowed in the

light which touches and burnishes the lapping water of the lagoon. Here gondolas pass and repass with their gondoliers in a picturesque and fantastic dress such as is not seen in all Venice. Something to be stared at or laughed at in this western world, here they provoke not even a start of surprise. belong to this dream city, to this vision of beauty, the equal of which only imagination has ever seen before. Even when a gondolier passes with that grotesque adaptation of costumes which the fringes of civilization witness—a picturesque sash about the middle, and a harvest hand’s straw hat of modern Illinois a-top; a companion picture to the Indian with a breech-clout and a plug hat — there is no jar of incongruity. Garish nineteenth century civilization in the shape of swift-darting electric launches, with motorrnan and guard in smart blue uniforms, aflame with gilt labels cannot break the charm. Over all is the flood of the rosy sunset’s light. On every side rise the majestic forms of this dream city. The cool, dunk smell of the water, its gurgle and laugh as the boat pushes it aside, the sound of its rush and fall from the fountains, are doubly grateful; they bring assurance of reality, offering a solid purchase for the invitation to dreamland that beckons all around.—M. R. in Indianapolis News. THIS HACKS. Speaking of the races at Columbus last week the Evening Republican has the following to say on the closing day: “The races are over, and everybody certainly has reason to be glad of it. The racing here has been faster than at any other point in the United States this season in the same classes. With the exception of the time made by Mascot at Pittsburg, they have led all others. This has caused Columbus to be one of the best advertised cities in the United States this week. Thousand of people who are lovers of horses and fast, time have eagerly watched for accounts of the daily races in the metropolitan papers each morning, and many who never would have otherwise known of this city have wondered what kind of a track Columbus has that the fastest time is made there. By a comparison of the time made in the same classes, or nearly the same at Pittsburg and Saginaw, Mich., with that at this track it will bo seen that at this place faster time was made than on the tracks at these, places. The weather for the entire week was excellent, and fine sport was enjoyed by all who attended. It is not known how the assocation will come out in a financial way, yet it is believed that it made some money. There is one thing certain. Not a horsman who won a dollar left the city without getting every cent that was coming to him. For prompt pay, fine treatment and excellent track and stable accomodation this city has for years enjoyed an excellent reputation. A .better class of men was with the races this year than usual, and the officers in the city report this as a very quiet week Order your fertilizer of L. S. Fishel & Bro.

Smith will preach. • Sherman Hopkins, who has been teaching in Darien, Ga., is here to spend the summer with his parents. The Fishel boys are selling a great many Jackson wagons. Our farmers generally know a gc o.l wagon when they see it. The elocutionary entertainment given by Miss Teresa Ryan at the Moravian chapel last Saturday evening was highly enjoyed. Miss Ryan was assisted by several young ladies and gentlemen of this place. Miss Ryan’s graceful rendering of her selections added to the successful impression made upon the audience. It is gratifying to known that this township possesses a lady of such accomplishments.
