The ga> is burning brightly
Within a cheerful room,
And tip'r is tripping lightly,

The liyl,t-stand from the corner
Is drawn out in the floor.
With writing and belle isvres
Its top is covered DER.
The shutters closed and fastened,
Keep out intrusive eyes

Quoth Witty. sly,y winking.
As she shook her curly pate.

Then Dame Wise. glancinS upward
To the picture on the wall,
Dropped low her pcn,iyc eyes, and let
Two pcarly tear-,lrops fall.
Raising one warning finger,
"Ah. Witty" she hogan.
Life looks all bright before YOU.
H. happy while you can.
"Garncr up the richest fragrance
Of these glad AMI joyous days;
You willhccd their sunny mcm'ry.
When you tread lifc's rougl,cr ways.
''Not one ray Of hope or glaln-ss
Would blot ont from your heart,
Soon will come the days Of sadness.
When the roses must depart.
"Our life l. like an ocean.
With ever varying flow:
And choicest gems of beauty
Hid in the depths below.
And this I've always noted.
When staining Oh the shore.
Watching the da,hing breakers,
And listening To their roar.

SEWING MACHINES

Were Awarded the Highest Premiums at the
State Fairs of New York, Vermont, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.
Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mis-
souri,, Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia, North
Carolina, California, Oregon, and Mt the Fairs
| of the American Institute, Franklin Institute,
,, Maryland Institute, Mass Mechanics Asso-
citation, Penn. Mechanics Institute ST Louis
Agricultural and Mechanics Association,
and at numerous Institutes and County Fairs
including all the Fairs at which they rerc
exhibited the past three years. First Prizes
have also been awarded these Machines ut the
| exhibitions of London, Paris, Dublin, Linz,
! Besa neon, Bayonne, st. Dizier, Chalons, and
they have been furnised, by special command,
to the Empress of France, Empress of Austria,
Empress of Russia, Empress of Brazil, Queen
| of Spain, and Queen of Bavaria.
| The Grover & Baker Elastic-Stitch Sewing
Machines are superior to all others for the fol-
| lowing reasons:
l. They sew direct from the spools, and re-
quire no reminding of thread.
! 2. They are more easily understood and used
and less liable to arrangement than other Ma
| chimes.
3. They are capable Of executing perfectly,
without change of adjustment, a much greater
variety of work than other Machines.
! 4. The stitch made by these machines
much more firm elastic, and durable especially
| ironed, than any other stitch
5. This stitch, owing to the manner in which
the under thread is inwronght, is much the
most plump and beautiful in use, and retains
this plumpness and beauty even upon articles
| frequently washed and ironcd until they are
worn out.
| 6. The structure Of the seam is such that,
/ though it be cut broken at intervals Of only
a few stitches, it will neither open, run, nor
ravel, but remains firm and durable.
| 7, Unlike other machines, these fastcn botk
ends of the seam by their own operation.
s. With these machines. while silk is used
upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton
may be used upon the other side without less
cning the strength or durability of the seam
! This can be done on no other machine, and i -
a great saving upon all articles stitched or
made up with silk.
8. These machines in addition to their su
perior merits as instruments for sewing, by ~
| change of adjustment, easily learned and prac-
tised, execute the most beautiful and perma-
nent embroidery and ornament work.

The Fourth.

The celebration of the Fourth OF July in
this city. was quite largely attended. and gave
general satisfaction. The desire for a cele-
bration here was not very unanimous, and
many of those appointed to make the neces-
ssry arrangements, neglected to act, and the
final success was largely and mainly owing 10
The spirit and liberality of GEO. a. Dit &
Co, and BEARDsLEY Il Co.
The procession was fine one. and not less
than 1900 people assembled on the pleasant
grounds selected for the occasion. The ne
cessity OF a Chaplain had been overlooked
until the proper time for communicating with
Heaven had arrived when Rev E. S. HAvENs
vas called on who made orc of the most fit
ting and appropriate prayers TO which We ev-
OF listened. The Declaration of Indepen-
dence was excellenily read by Jos. W. Corr.
The Grafton, by Hon. J. 3. BRIsBIS. of ST.
Paul, was production of great merit, very
elOquently delivered. Mr.. BRrsBIS was re-
quested to speak, but few hours before leav-
ing ST. Paul for here, and only consented at
N-Ac Nn4AS SoAiSitotloi "a FCiHoiiaA AtAchNSs-
His reputation as a strong partisan was so
well known. that some dissatisfaction was
felt when it was known that he was to speak,
but the manner and the matter of his address
were pleasing to all. AS a cultured gentle
mana profound lawyer-and an eloquent
speaker, Mr. BRIsBN has few peers. and no
superioys IN the Northwest.
The Great Western Band. under the eff
rient leadership of r. C. MUNGER, furnished
the music-and the music was worthy of the
high reputation of the Band.
The afternoon was devoted TO social enjoy
nent. GEO. Dill kept open house at his ell
egant rooms, and entertained friends from
home and abroad in hearty hOspitable style.
The display of Fireworks in the evening
was very fine, and was enjoyed by large
crowd of people. LUM. ALDETou was the
ranking officer in this department.
The day closed with Grand Ball at Dun
bars Hall, which was very largely attended
and SO amid music aud mirth the 9Oth ami
v"rsary Of our independents was closed. and
the day drift,d away into the mass Of used
up days. a paper drifts into n waste basket
when lis usefulness is over.

Enron Journal A notice appeared in

finding Of body floating in the river below
Prescott. together with the verdict Of the cor
nnoris jury. that he came to his death bv
violent hands"
This week a number Of the citizens of this
place went down and disiuterred the BODY,
which was identified as that Of Thos. Hope,
Of Hastings. MINI.
careful examination showed that there
were no evidences Of gun shot wound, what
bad been supposed TO be such being probably
a flesh wound, inflicted BY the body coming
in contact with some sharp substance while
IN the river.
Mr.. Hope started nom Prescott for Dia-
mond Bluff one evening about three weeks
ago, and the skiff being very light and easily
capsiEed. he was undoubtedly drowned by
the upsettiug of the boat.

While in his garden. between 10 and ii o'cl'k
last night, was assaulted by a rufiian with a
slung shot, who. as he struck, said. "you
damned Yankee or similar words. The lead
grazed his temple, and he at once drew his
revolver. which not discharging on the first
attempt did On the second, but without CT
feet The night was very dark. and only a
quick and indistint sight of the assailant
could be had. as he escaped. Various reasons
for the assault are given, but it is ascribed TO
an assassin rather than a burglar, as lights
were in the Governors house, and the inmates
up Fortunately the Governors temple only
shows the brown discolored bruise made by
the slug. but had the back part of his head
received the blow, the effect must have been
fatal. or at least serious.
