THE LABORER.
BY GRANT P. ROBINSON.

-ssThou art as true a man
As moves the human mass among
As much part of the Great Plan
That with Creations dawn began,
AS any in the throng.''
Labor and wait, aud hope and trust
In him who rules the high and low;
Be earnest, faithful, firm and just
In all your strIvings here below;
Work with lnftier aim, and shun
Each low, degrading, base desire;
Strive for that goal SO surely
By all who to the true aspire.
Stand up-erect! and murmer not,
Nor heed the proud who pass you by,
Though they NAV spurn your lowiy lot,
And meet you with averted eye;
For he who judgeth all Alright
Who sees no stain in lowly birth
Will surely grant suerdon bright
To all the toiiIng sons OF earth.
You may not win hero's name,
For daring deeds with sword and shield f;
But you will earn enduring fame
Upon a far more noble field.
Earth's fairest flowers, with fragrance rare,
Will bloom in every glen and glade,
And blythesome birds will MARBLE there
Their early morning serenade.

RoBBERs IN LADY BED RooM<4 Brave

married lady OF that city went Last week 70

awakened about midnight, by some one finger
Inc about her neck. In the moment of sleep
waking, she fancied thatit was her sister, VINO
slept IN the Adjoining room, and reached out
per arm playfully 10 take hold of her hair,
when she WAS frightened by feeling the short
locks OF man! The same instant a hand was
placed upon her throat so that she could not
SPEAK; but by desperate effort she released
her throat, and screamed for help. This scream
awakened her brother in law. who moved 10
go over and see what was the matter; but on
his wife remarking that her sister was subject
10 nightmare, and screamed in her sleep, he
desisted. The unfortunate lady was nearly
being choked by the villain, and by almost
superhuman effort she relieved her throat
from his grasp, so that she was enabled 10 cry
for help: and her brother in law then sprang
out of he'd, and Just succeeded in getting open
the door TO her room when he saw one man
going out of the window and another out or
the door, The lady was game to the last, and
by her presence OF mind and desperate resis-
lance. prevented the villain from stranglng
her to death. Her threat was considerably lacer-
atcd by her efforts to tear loose the grasp OF
the rcbber. The brother in law had thateyen
ing brought home a quantity of valuable Jew
elry, and 1t was that which had doubtless in
duccd the visit of the robbers. The lady be-
came so nervous that she could not remain
longer, ard returned TO Dayton.
