Regarding alike the high and the lower
Waiting for neither the rich nor the poor

With scenes Of the battle, Of blood and Of gore,
With affairs less important-thls inyincible

Now, thanks be to Him whose name we re-

That by merGiful kindness and prOyident care
He 50 kindly permits us to greet this NEW

For the lost ones, whose greetings were always
sincere
Who were with us last NEW YEAR. to-day are
not here
Whose mem'ry wen always hold sacred and
Wen take consolation, while dropping tear,
For they're only transported to Il far brighter
sphere
OLD TINE in his march, many changes has
wrought;
Many lessons of wisdom to the world have been
taught
Many have fallen, as lifes battle they fought,
And many in the whirlpool Of vice have been
caught.
May God in His mercy cause the many who
err,
A resolution adopt on this HAPPY NEW YEAR,
HenCforth TO honor, to love Him, to fear,
His praises to sing His name to revere.

MEMOIR,

r. MEMOlR.
LAURA, daughter of s. F. and Mary johnson,
was born near West Lancaster in this county
July 1lth, 1853. She received early religious
instruction from her parents which seems to
have made a permanent impression on her
mind,
From earliest childhood she has been con-
nected with the Sunday School, which she
loved dearly. She committed much of the Bi-
bic to memory. and the hiding of the word of
the Lord in her heart kept her from SHINING
against Him. None loved singing more than
she, and none entered into its spirit more
heartily. For more than three years she has
been afflicted with disease of the heart,
which finally terminated her life. For eight
weeks past she has been confined to her cham
Der. From childhood she had a sweet, win
ming, a1'ectionate disposition; but aGliction
seemed to chasten and ripen it even more. Sus-
tanning grace made her in atiction, seem
more like sanity woman than child. Her
views of the Gospel plan were clear and mar
velously mature for one of her years.
While she was "brushmg the dews from
Jordan's banks" she told her parents she was
willing and DESTROYS to go,
On the morning of the 2Tth of December,
1867, her Father in Heaven, released her from
Earth, and sent angel spirits to take her to
Heaven. Thus closed the bright, but brief
earthly history of LAURA JOHNSON, in the 18Th
year of her age.

In our own little county of Fayette,
Success for the Right was complete,
Considering the Democrats effort
As usual, they suffered defeat.
Their leaders were busy deyising
Some means for their party to gain,
Regardless of honor or Justice,
Regardless of credit or name
And trumped up great stories of stealing,
And tried every means Of the hour
10 work on the minds OF the people -
But the people were out of their power
We hope dealers in Democrat thunder
VIII learn that their miserable lies,
Like seed cast on ground that is stony,
Affect not the honest and wise.
In TINS age of improvement, progression,
Advancement, refinement and art,
Little Fayette has not retrograded,
But improved since she first made a start
We hail with delight this progression,
With pride we observe on its face,
"E! CELsIoR," her watch-word and motto;
IMPROVEMENT" in Lethargy's place.
Fayette, from circumference to center,
Shows enterprise plain as the sun;
By her farms, under high cultivation,
by her pixies, that are second to none,
by her cattle, so fine and so weighty,
By her hogs, of the very best breed,
BY her sheep in her fields, without number,
By her horses, as fine us you need

Democracy stopped low to conquer,
ResOrting to trick and deceit
That was thought by His Lowness, the Devil,
Pure COpperheadism, complete.
They told the dear people the Darkey
Would the level Of Buttemuts reach;
And all such ridiculous stories
Were the theme of their song and therspeech
Financially, they promised wonders,
One of which is haunting us still
Just vote" they insisted, "Our ticket,
And your pockets with greenbacks Wen FILL
These greenbacls-they dare not deny it
Were denounced by Butternut brags
As an issue of stuff by our country
That was not worth the cost of the rags.
Theirs was a most sudden conversion
From distrust they to confidence jump
But the heart of the Butternut party
Never beat with regular thump.
