But I ran Irust.
I know not why my path should be at

I only know Ood could keep wide thj doorj

I find no answer, often when beset
Willi qui'Stloi.j fierce and t ibtlemi my wav,
And often have but strength to faintly pray'
Hut I can trust.
I often wonder, at with Itcmbllng hand
I cast the seed abing the furrowed ground,
If ripened fruit for Cod will there be found;
BjI I can trust.
I cannot know why suddenly the storm
Should rage tu fiercely round me in its
wrath;
But this I know, God walches ail my eih
And I can trust.
I may not draw nsiile Iho mystic veil
That hides the unknown future Irom my

Nor know if for me waits the dark or light,
But I can trust.
I have no power tn ouk across the llde,
To see while hero the land beyoLd the

A RUSSIAN ST0BY.
That crazy Euipirnr, Paul I. of It mala,

whose couuteuanoa pleased him,

said Paul.
"Sire, lam only a private."
"Tbe Emperor is nsver mistaken, cap.
tain."
"I obey your orders, sire."
"Very good, commandant. Take your
seat by my side. What lovely 'weather
wo have, to-ilayl'
"Sire, I dare not venture"
"What are you saying, colonel?"
Unluckily for tho now-made colonel,
tbi Emperor had to be buck to tbe palaoe
early that morning. If tbe drive bad
continued a few minutes longer bla
chance companion would have been
midu a del '-marshal As it was, be was
obliged to coutent himself with tho grade
of major-geutral.
Hut a fctv days ntlerward the same
poor wretch, picked up by the Emperor
in exactly the samo way, bad to go
through the earns gradations of rank,
only in tho reverse direction, nnd in half
nu hour from beiag a major-general, had
to become a private soldier again.
