PLOD.
ee
BY THE REV. ALFRED J. HOUGH.
Of the wise and holy Maker, of the good and gracious God,
Men can ask few higher blessings than the power and grit to plod.
Showy gift may be attractive, glibly talk of ** going to do ;”
But it takes the solid lifting of old Plod to ‘* put her through.”
He is mightier than all genius, greater than all boasted skill,
Having for his inspiration an indomitable will.
Genius is a passing meteor ; Plod, a never- setting sun;
Where all else hath failed and fainted, Plod has just gone in and won.
He hath reared the mighty cities, with a strength God-like, sublime ;
Made a highway for the nations through the ancient hills of time. He hath made the lightning serve him, eounted stars and measured space ; Wealth and genius fairly beaten in the middle of life’s race.
Hard to rouse and slow to action; but, when Plod once says ‘I will,”
He is just as sure to do it as the lightning is to kill.
He was busy at the building of the pyra-|
mids of old, And, though kings sought deathless men- tion, ’tis of Plod their tale is told. Never yet hath wond’ring, pilgrim ‘neath their gloomy shadows trod,
Without feeling and believing the omnipo- tence of Plod!
He hath yet beheld no mountain where his flag he dared not plant,
Just because he didn’t whimper and sit down and say ‘‘I can’t.”
In the sober days of plodding, thirty, forty years ago,
We had more of solid progress, less of tinsel and of show.
Our old mothers taught their daughters how to scrub, sew, churn, and bake;
How to take a turn in haying, on the load or at the rake;
Milk and drive the cows to pasture, catch and harness up old Bill;
Crack the whip, and take the produce to the market or the mill.
Never smarter, wittier lasses traded at the country store ; And they more than matched the saucy, smooth-tongued pedlars at the door. Handsomer were they and nobler, in their neat and simple dress,
Than the modern lady, strutting in a ruffled wilderness.
They would rather go to meeting, sitting, with a happy smile,
In the old pung, racked and broken, than to go in debt for style.
Not a dollar would they squander, not an extra ribbon get,
Till the parlor had been furnished and the farm was out of debt.
They’d have scorned the theught of sitting, dressed in frills and boughten curls,
While the house was run to ruin by a pack of hired girls ; ;
Or, to be accomplished ladies, make an organ squeal and moan,
While their inothers, late and early, worked their fingers to the bone. :
Yet, with all this sober plodding, Nature had no richer charms
Than she gave the happy maidens on the grand New England farms.
Eutethis age of great inventions, deeper thought and clearer light,
Has produced a patent Lady, and Dame Fashion holds the right.
Not content with sober plodding, tired of loafing and unrest,
All the boys are taking tickets for the prairies of the West ;
And they need but small persuasion to pull up their stakes and go
To where Nature yields a harvest if she’s tickled with a hoe.
But I’ve somehow got the notion that a lad, with prospects fair,
Failing in New England valleys, is a failure anywhere.
He may have the mildest climate, he may have the richest sod,
But it just amounts to nothing if he hasn’t got the plod!
It may be the age is giving birth to more enlightened views,
Butit doesn’t do to farm it in a pair of patent shoes.
And it simply stands to reason that a man can’t till his ground
If one half the time he’s loafing and the other—riding round.
Barns well shingled, thriving cattle, stone- less acres, rich and broad,
Come from nothing else, believe me, but the steady, sober plod!

- Se Benevolence.
The Lutheran Observer says: ‘“ Bene- volente is good will. But good-will, like every other right feeling, is not sincere or real if it does not find outward ex- pression. So we speak of benevolence here as displayed in bringing offerings to Christ. These offerings are manifold. Among them are influence, time, bread for the hungry, elothing for the naked, and money. The last named rep: esents all material gifts, for with money we can buy food, clothing, fuel, and medicine. can provide care for the sick and shelter for the outcast, and print and circulate the word of God, and support missionary labor. The use of money determines the ase of time and influence more or less; for the man who makes money only to hoard it, or to spend it for his own plecsure, will prompt others, by his ex- ample, to yicld only to selfish impulses,
and will have no leisure for well-doing.” |

CATARRE.
Constitutional Catarrh CURES CATARRH.,
Hear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the ‘onstiiutional Ren.edy.
Remedy
T. J. B. Harprxe, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—
Dear Srr—It is now two years since your “‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “too good to ie true.”
I was afflicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward ‘‘drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit upin the bed, My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter o the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third, I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.
A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make what use of it yon may sce proper. Yours truly,
W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
