LIGHT IK DABKNESO.

0 God I our way through darkness leads,
But Thine is living light:
Teach us to feel that Day succeeds
To each slow-wearing Night:
Make us to know, though Pain and Woe
Beset our mortal lives,
That 111 at last in death lies low,
And only Good survives*
Too long th' oppressor's iron heel
The saintly brow has pressed;
Too oft the tyrant's murd’rous steel
Has pierced the guiltless breast:
Yet in our souls the seed shall lie,
Till Thou shalt bid it thrive,
Of steadfast faith that Wrong shall die,
And only Right survive.

We walk in shadow; thickest walls
Do man from man divide;
Our brothers spurn our tenderest calls,
Our holiest aims deride:

DEPARTMENT OF THE GREAT CENTRAL FAIR
THE FLORAL
It has been determined to continue the Fair
open at the old rates during the present week.
On Saturday night the season will close, and
with it the obligations of the Managers towards
holders of season tickets. Monday and Tues

these will close the Great Central Sanitary
Fair. Yesterday the attendance was full, as
Yet though fell Craft, with fiendish thought
Its subtle web contrives,
Still Falsehood's textures shrink to naught,
And only Truth survives.
Wrath clouds our sky; War lifts on high
His flag of crimson stain:
Each monstrous birth o'erspreads the earth
In Battle’s gory train:
Yet still we trust in God the Just,
Still keep our faith alive,
That, ’neath Thine eye, all Hate shall die,
And only Love survive.

In the northwest corner of the enclosure,
the Department of Curiosities and Relics is
located. It is under the special charge of a
committee of ladies and gentlemen composed of
lovers and collectors of whatever is rare and
curious, and of historical value and interest.
Mr. Franklin Peale is Chairman, and Mr.
Robert C. Davis is the industrious Secretary
of the Gentlemen’s Committee. They are
ably seconded by such active and intelligent
antiquarians as Mr. F. J. Dreer, Dr. J. M.
Summerville, and other gentlemen who enjoy
the same pursuits. Mrs. Thomas P. James
is the indefatigable chairman of the ladies’
committee in this department.
