Come, dear old comrsde. you and
Will steal an hour from days gone by
The shining days when life was new.
And all Was bright with morning dew
The lusty days Of long ago,
When you were Bill and was Joe.
Your name may isunt titled trail,
Proud as a cOckeTers rainbow trail;
And mine SIS brief appendix wear
As Tam O'shanter's luckless mare;
To-day, old friend, remember still
That am Joe and you are Bill.
You've won the great worlds envied prize,
And grand you look in peoples eyes,
With II IN. and l. l.. ID.
In big brave letters, fair TO see
Your fist, old fellow of they go =
How are you, Bill, How are you, Joe!
You've worn the judges ermined robe;
You've taught your name to halt the globe I;
You've sung mankind eesthlcss strain;
You've made the dead past live again:
The world may call you what Il will.
But you and are Joe and Bill.
The cbsfing young folks stare and say,
"see these cid buffers, bent and gray
They talk Ike fellows 10 their teens!
Mad; poor old boys That's what II means"
And shake their besds they little know
The tbrobbiDg hearts OF Bill and Joe.
How Bill forgets his hour Of pride,
While Joe sits smiling at his side;
How Joe, In spite OF times Disguise,
Finds the old schOolnate in his eyes
Those calm, stern eyes that melt and I'LL
As Joe looks fondly mp at Bill.
All. pensive scholar, what is fame?
A ftiul tongue of lesping flame;
A eiddy whiflwiDd's tickle gust,
That lifts pinch Of mortal dust;
A few swift years, and who can show
Which dust was Bill and which was Joeg
The weary idol takes his stand,
Holds ont his bruised and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and GO
How vain il seems, this empty show
Till all at once bis pulses thrill
IT'S poor old JOe's God bless you, Bill!'
And shall we breathe in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears,
In some sweet lull OF harp aud song,
For esrth.born spirits none too long,
Just whispering of the world below
Where this was Bill, and that was Joes
No matter, while our home is here,
No sounding name is half so dear;
When fades az length our lingering day.
Who cares what pompous tombstones say
Read on the hearts that love US still,
Hic facet Joe. Hic facet Bill.

the wen fell, covering these young men, the
Courier says:
A thrill OF horror pervsded the crowd, and
wild rush was made to rescue them from the
smoking heap. Ia a remarkably short time, but
which seemed almost an age TO the anxious friends
of the young men, the rubbish was removed and
the bodies drawn forth. The joy was intense
when ii was discovered that no one was KILLED or
fatally injured. The wounded were borne to
their homes. aud at late hour yesterday after
noon, we're doing well. The following are the
names Of the sufferers, and the extent Of the in
jures:

limbs severely bruised, and face badly burned.

MODEL YoUTH.-There is q seventeen year
old boy living in county below rs who has
tv euty one acres planted in cotton. He hired one
man early in the spring, prepared the land and
bought about 500 worth guano and put upon it.
After getting il planted he started. to school,
which be has regularly attended during the sum-
mer. with the exception Of about two weeks
which his crop required. He works an hour Or
two every morning. in the afternoon and every
Saturday. His cotton is looking very tine, and he
expects TO get at least fifteen bales OF the twenty
one acres. Estimating each bale at 500 pounds,
aud that be viii get twenty-five cents per pound,
the gross receipts will be sls76. His entire ex-
pense, including the guano, will not be over $500.
which will leave 1875 the net earnings Of this
school boy. Give him the benefit Of every doubt,
and be will surely make $1,000 clear.
