Pixies Peakers left GRANVILLE, Illinois, for
the Kansas gold regions. While travel
ing through the indian country on their
way out, one Of the company. young
man Of desperate chsraater, from the Vi

Indian he met, and unhappily during
the day, they overlook on the prairs de-

her dead.
His companions were hsrrow stricken At
the bloody-thirsty deed, but felt that they
had no power to punish him. The tribe

They discovered her lifeless body, and
saw at once the manner Of her DEATH.
They pursued the party Of Illinois Pixies

and demanded to know who committed
the murder. ,t4t...,.-...

MAN WAS NEVER MADE TO MOURN

oman was never made to meurn."
Spring, Appollo to thy feetl
Cast despairing thoughts away
Taste the cup of life how sweet.
Seize the hammer, seize the spade,
Yoke the rxen to the plough.
And bright thy lamp Of life shall be,
Earning plenty by thy brow.
"Man was never made to mourn"
Has wealth slipped thy eager hands

'Tis hidden in the vallies warm:
'Tis springing from the dusty shop,
When touched by labor's honest arm,
"Man was never made to mourn"
What though friends prove false and few,
Is that cause to sit and sigh
And wish the world was good and true9
Be thou true unto the last, ..l
On thyself thy burdens rest; ..
Give no sorrows for the past,
Hope-believe all for the bestl
Man was never made to mourn"
Though love has sighted you to-day,
Kill the youngstsr! seal your heart,
And time will bring a brighter ray.
The skies are full of brilliant stars,
Flowers are plenty in the wood;
And none are found so pure and bright,
But others CLEAN as bright-as good.

A slight pretty little woman, dressed in
soiled, tumbled wrapper, with hair in a
state Of direful confusion, answered the
summons. She had one Of those round,
bright faces which Nature intended should
be decked with continual smiles. but now,
