Summer Dying.

On the scarlet mountains yondrr.
Summer lcs down to die;
She gathers her robes of spleudor
Around her royalty.
Her tender, purpling mos>c>
Pillow her royal head;
Her myriad, gentle grasses
Are weeping about her bed.
1t failed, the precious promise
OF her heauty's golden reign:
1t came. the loss, the longing,
The silence and the pain:
She WIS cruel i'll her splendor.
She Knocked lis i'll its reiSnz
She held her careless carnival
Above our idol slain.
Ills not the hand that crowns us.
The hand held out to bless
'Tis the hand that robs and wrongs us,
That VIC ottencst carcSs.
Still. O, beguiiing Summer.
We o'er thy beauty esn;
Thou 6idSt rob us, yet We love thee
Discrowned, We hull thee queen.
All passionate fervor faded;
With eyes at last serene,
Turned towards thy conqueror, Aatumn,
Thou art dying, o, our queen,
All that thou gavest to us,
In thy mornings gracious glow.
All thou hast take n from us,
Only our God can know.

CoRN-FIELD DARKEY.- Mem

come ''culled gemmen" and sell

wan darkey, if there ever was such

charge of disorderly conduct. He

kINDNESS---

KINDNESS --BENEFICENCE.- The
technical definition of these words is
one thing, and their practical appli-
cation in human affairs is another
The world is full of kindness, but
there is comparatively very little of it
utllltlzed and made available for man
kind. Kindness, in the dictionary,
is one matter, but kindness in the
family, the community, the State, or
the nation, is another, and in many
respects altogether different thing.
The world is full of kindness that has
never been spoken, and that is very
little better than none at all. It is
even doubtful whether such kindness
benefits its possessor. Like every
other good, to be beneficial this prin-
clple must be active. Passive kind
ness would soon make this world
blank. There is nothing God-like in
it. Love, active, out-spoken, is what
makes parents and children, brothers
and sisters happy. But if love is
kept q secret it might as well not ex-
lst, no one is made better by it. A
home without active love, kindness,
beneficence, and such kindred prin-
clples, is cheerless and cold, and the
lazy dog or cat enjoying life under
the stove, Cor at the doorstep. is hap
pier than the inmates of such a home.
There are great piles of trees fallen
IN inaccessible positions all over the
world that can never be made avail
able for human wants. There are
great masses of coal in the bowels of
the earth, from which no man has
ever yet realized any benefit. 1t is
only the hewn and marketable timber
and the mined coal brought to human
llabitations that give warmth and
comfort to a home. It is even SO
with kindness. That quality, frozen
away in corner of the human heart
or buried too deep in the depths of
the soul to be brought to the surface.
can never give Joy or sunshine to
any despondent heart or gloomy
home. Active kindness, outgushing
love, such as God manifested toward
the world, can alone benefit our race,
and the moral of all this is that the
poor is ever with us, and winter is at
our doors.

RAILROAD ENGINEERs.-Br Po-
mercy, OF the Lacrosse Democrat,
pays q just tribute to that practical
and devoted class of men. railroad
engineers:
God bless and preserve the engi-
neer! On all the pages of history
there are no braver records than
those made by railroad engineers.
We once heard the whistle of an en-
glneer at Des Jardin's Bridge, when,
with hand on the screaming whistle,
he sounded the alarm, and whistled
himself down sixty feet into the
murky waters and into heaven; never
deserting his post in the plunge which
was fatal to sixty three out of eighty
one souls. He was found at the
bottom OF the river, his hand firmly
helding the lever-his compressed
ups telling the noble story of his
death! We have heard him time and
again; we have stood by him on the
engine in the hour of sudden danger
and seen how q brave man would act
when death reached out his bonv
hand as we whirled past the door of
eternity, so widely opened that we
could almost hear the voices of those
within. We have seen engineers in
danger scores of times, but we never
yet saw one desert his post. To the
noble ones who have died in their
duty and their glory-to each of these
we sound our whistle three times, for
"Ali hail, thou noble menY
