[Column One] GO, WINTER! BY JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY.

Go, Winter! Go thy ways! We want again The twitter of the bluebird and the wren, Leaves ever greener growing and the shine Of Summer’s sun—not thine—

The sun which mocks our need of warmth and love And all the heartening fervencies thereof. It scarce hath heat enough to warm our thin Pathetic yearnings in.

So, get thee from us! We are cold. God wot, Even as thou art. We remember not How blithe we hailed thy coming. That was, O, Too long—too long ago!

Get from as utterly. Ho! summer then Shall spread her grasses where thy snows have been. And thy last icy footprint melt and mold In her first marigold. —“Green Fields and Running Brooks.’’

[Line Spacer]

From the German. Translated for the Eliot Epworthian. By A. B. I. Das Herz. The heart has chambers twain ; In one dwells joy. And in the other pain,

While joy a watchful eye Is keeping, Pain slumbers slyly nigh.

O joy, ne'er cease, good care to take Speak low ! That pain may not awake. — Neumann.

II Shepherd's Sunday-song.

This is the day of the Lord, I am alone by the mere : Only a morning bell sounds; Silence is far and near.

And, as I bow, a painless fear, A secret sympathy, steals o’er me As if many here, unseen, Were praying, on bended knee.

By the nearness of the sky, And its beauty I am awed, All is so solemn and true Upon this day of the Lord. — Uhland.

LOCALS.

Better terms can be, and are, offered on pianos and organs by D. Lothrop & Co., than can be secured elsewhere, Their business is so extensive, their facilities so great, and their personal application and economy of expen-ses so practical that they stand above all successful competition.

All true success is to be found in working with God.

W. H. Moore, Dover, N. H. has taken the agency for the celebrated standard patterns the best and most re- liable pattern made. Send me a postal and I will mail you a catalogue free. W. H. Moore, Cabinet Ave., National Block.

The fourth quarterly conference of our church will be held at the Vestry, Saturday Jan. 28. Rev. Geo. R. Pal-

mer will preside, also will preach on Sunday a. m. of the 29th inst.. and administer the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper.
