SIsrERs-Shoud these words from the heart,
contain one dew-drop of love or sympathy, to
strengthen, when the fainting spirit fails y
to cheer, when discouraged, toilworn and wea-
ry-one feeble ray of light to lessen the dark
enng shadows of the rugged steep before you.
BRorHERs-Could we relieve that throbbing
brow, revive those wasted energies, then would
we say to the throbbing heart, be still and
to the trembling hand, be strong

THE ESTRA NGE d.

We who were friends, yet are not now
We who must daily meet
With ready words and courteous bow,
Acquaintance of the street /;
We must not scorn the holy past
We must remember still
To honor feelings that outiast
The reason and the will.
might reprove thy broken faith,
Imight recall the time
When thou vert chartered mine till death
Through every fate and cline;
When every letter was vow,
And fancy was not free
To dream of ended love and thou
Wouldst say the same ofme.
No, no. It's not for us to trim
The balance of our wrongs;
Enough to leave remorse to him
To whom remOrse belongs!
Let our dead friendship be to us
A desecrated name;
neutrality-suspicious.
4 sorrow and shame.
A sorrow that two hearts, which grew
Encased in mutual bliss,
Should wander, callOus strangers, through
So cold world as this!
A shame that we, whose hearts had earned
In life an early heaven,
Should be like angels, selfreturned
To death. whence once forgiven!
Let US remain as living signs,
That they who run may read
Pain and disgrace in many lines,
As of loss indeed
That Of our fellows any, who
The prize of love hath won,
May tremble at the thought to do

was breaking through the roofa the fire was
confined to the upper part OF the building,
which was a story and half frame 80 by 30
feet. Two boys were sleeping in room up
stairs and we're with difficulty aroused in time
to save their lives. They went TO bed about 10
clock and the fire did not originate in their
room. The building was insured for $500
and the contents Of the store at $4,000, in
