The lid was then closed, throwing it's shaa-
ow, as it fell, over that fair and beautiful
face. And then there seemed to fall
shadow on our very hearts, as though some
thing bright and joyous had passed from
earth.
Take him. father. take your son, all that
OF him TO earth remains, take him to your ru-
raj home among the park like groves of the
beautiful North. Take him, thai the mo-
ther, and she brothers, and tho sisters, may
look once again on the face yet so lovely,
though pale and cold. Take him, and bury
him in your own rural cemetery. Bury hila
where the gssnd esa oak ,say thibw lis wa.
wing shadows over his place Of rest--where
the birds Of summer may sing their joyous
carols at the coming OF mom-where the
wildwood flowers shall sprinkle with beauty
the turf, that lies on his quiet breast-where
tho poor mother may kneel in prayer with
faith and nope over the mound that covers
him. and where his little sisters may, in the
spring morning and on the summer evening,
deck his gave with flowers.
Farewell. sweet boy, farewell, "a long. a
sad farewell. To thee many stricken,
bleeding heart says, farewell. Thou art gone
from us, gone in thy beauty, gone in the
midst Of thy early hopes. For thee yet

many an eye, though dim and sightless; and
many a voice that warbled bird-iike through
these halls, Is now hushed, or heard only in
low, plaintive tones.
We loved thee, dear boy, and thou didst
love us. and there are, in that world whittier
thou art surely gone, others whom we have
loved. and who have loved us. They left
us, as hast thou, in thcir youth and beauty.
Spring after spring has returned and renewed
the face of nature; summer after summer
has come and gonc-autumn after autumn
has strewn the ground with fallen leaves, and
winter after winter has spread It's white wind
ing sheet over the beauty and the bloom of
earth, and still our hearts bleed for the dear
ly loved and early lost.
Thou wilt meet, lovely boy, amid the
groves Of paradise, in the ambrosial bowers
OF bliss, those loved ones Of ours And we
too, if we obey thy dying exhortation, may
hope, when life's labor Is over, to meet thee,
and be welcomed to thy heavenly home, in
that house of our common Father, in which

DEFALcATIoN AsD FoRaKaIHs-It is now
reduced to q certainty that Brumbsugh, the
Fusion Probate Judge, has gone to parts un-
known, and that he has been guilty Of a
number of base forgeriss. We cannot form
an idea of tho extent Of the forgeries he has
committed, but know they are considerable.
Some Of our informants estimate them at ten
thousand dollars. As far as we have been
able to learn they are all upon his friends,
who seem to have tso much sympathy for
him TO pursue and arrest him. Until some
one Is appointed to fill the vacancy In that
slfice. wo can tell nothing about his defaca
tons. We feel satisfied, however, that when
the books are fully examined it will be found
that considerable amount of money has been
used by him and unaccounted for, both on
his first and second terms Of Office.
Here is another example of the way the
Fusionists control their affairs Of the "dear
people" Shroek was strong Anti Nebras-
ka man, and Brumbsugh was one of the prin-
eipal leaders in the Fusion party. Although
the people Of this county have had bat a
slight taste Of Fusion rule, yet through these
vagabonds they have got an ample supply

A BAD BEGINSING.-The Territorial Leg
islature OF Nebraska has gone very deeply in
to the business of manufacturing banks, by
comforting charters upon number of individ-
uals with authority to issue paper money.
This is bad beginning for that new and flour
ishing Territory. 1t would be far better II
these "bankers" would engage in cutting
down forests, opening roads, building houses,
and developing the mineral resources of the
Territory.

Some Of tho Fusion papers are repeating
another falschood, which appeared originally
in a paper at Greeneastle, as follows:
"W. G. LARRABEs Is an abolitionist at
heart-hsving cast one os the three votes
pOlled at this place for BIRNEY in 1913"

unanimously know-nothing, and, in their ef-

in one instance, at least, rather overshot the

amendment to the constitution, "that no per-
son should be entitled TO vote in this COM

the effect would be that none but sattralizeo
