iri encship-with strong intellect and mind
well cnltiyated-wi'h winning manners and
standard of judgment above all low estimates
she secured respec: from all; and was look ID
upon as one whose influence in society was
important. She left upon all who approach ed
within her sphere, the impression Of character:
that there was one whose principles of action
were decided-who proce eded upon conviction
and nteiligence-who- could not easily be
moved tom the right. Her conduct in every
relation OF life, was such as to leave in the
minds OF all who Ind the happiness to be asso.

awaited its approach with resigned Ca linn ess;
and while all around were sunk in grief, the
consultations of Il spiritual faith and holy trust
did not fail her in the last struggle Well

the presence Of the LEVIED one.
with silence only as their benediction,
Gods angels come,
Where in the shadow of great affection,
The soul sits dumb

They live on earth, in thought and deed as

on the authority of a gentleman Of well known

menl Of regular forces 10 1882, during the
+" Sank Furse." proceeded TO the east side Of
Fox river TO meet troop Of Illinois Dragons
coming up fora. reinforcement. Several Of
the dragons had lost their horses, Col. Taylor
who was a stranger TO all OF them, rode thro'
a ford 10 welcome them, and took all of those
dragons who were destitute of horses, across
the river behind him, on his own horse, one
after another. II is no wonder that such an
officer is beloved by his soldiers.

Why should we let such Thugs perpex Us

Why fret ourselves about the Tariff;
The question is "Who'll be ouf Sheriff."
How many hands are daily shaken'
How many babes are kissed and Iasenl
How many smooth tongced lies are spoken!
How many pledges made and brokenl

The folks are generally weary,
And every one impatient waits
To see who'll be our Delegates.
