A young farmer in Missouri kill
ed his mother on Sunday morning
a week ago because she had not
ironed his shirt collar to suit him,
he being in love and wanting an
unusually nice turnout to go to
see his sweetheart in. His bride
will probably be the gallows.

AT THE SUNSET HOUR.
By the window looking westward,
w han thu c,1nrot hour dram nil,

By the window looking westward,
When the sunset hour drew nigh,
We were standing, as full often
We had stood in days gone by;
Wewere speaking in low whispers,
While we turned our raptured gaze
Where the sun was sinking downward,
In a gold and crimson blaze.
When the glory of the Maker
Burned in every gorgeous cloud,
Till it seemed glimpse of heaven
And l spoke the thought aloud.
With astrange and solemn accent
On my ear her answer stole,
Was there magic in the whisper?
Forit thrilled my very soul. -.
And turned and looked upon her,
Half in wonder, half in awe,
For it seemed to be an angel,
Not mortal, that / saw;
For she seemed to be transfgured,
As she stood beside me now,
With the glory of the sunset,
Like halo on her brow.
1t had touched her cheek with crimson,
1t had filled her eyes with light;
They were glowing with some vision
That was hidden from my sight,
And it fell in flaming arrows
When it touched her golden hair,
Till it crowned with her splendor
Such as only angels wear.
Slowly from the western heavens
Faded out those brilliant dyes,
Leaving but streak of amber
When they vanished from the skies;
Slowly crept the twilight round US,
Darkness wrapt the distant hill,
But that strange, unearthly beauty
Seemed to cling around her still.
And in after years I've noted
When her genius scared afar,
And the magic of its power
Thrilled the souls of men with awe;
When its mysticspell was DER her
How her face was all aglow
With that weird, mysterious splendor
That itcaught SO long ago.
And I've fancled-was it fancy?-
On that even long ago,
When the sinking sun baptised her
With its gold and crimson glow;
It was then her gift was given her,
And message from on high
Fired her soul with inspiration,
And its power shall never die.

BSy The Platteville Witness states that
last week while the workmen were raising
the steeple on the tower of the new Con-
gregational Church, the rope broke just as
they had it within few inches of being
high enough, letting the whole thing down
between the tower timbers, smashing and
damaging it SO that in all probability it
will have to be taken apart and rebuilt.
Fortunately no one was injured.

BSg- The Republican party, by the aid
of the patriots of the country, have sue
cessfully resisted and quelled the rebellion.
They have, to the satisfaction of the whole
loyal people of the nation, settled the mat
tiers of reconstruction, and set the late
rebel States in running order again; and
now that matters are settled, and differ
ences amicably and fairly adjusted, they
want peace. They appeal to the people,
and ask, if we have not had war enough !?
if we have not had fighting enough if we
have not lost men enough, and have not
accumulated large enough debt? They
think we have, and they want peace. gh
The Democratic party of the north cried
war, until the war commenced in 1861.
Then they cried peace until it was ended !;
and now they call for war again. They
don't like the complexion of the southern
States governments, and call for the driving
out of the present officials, and the Installing
of rebels of their choosing. They call for
the driving out of the present Congress,
and claim that in Frank Blair they have
got man who will do it. The safest plan
will be not to give him chance. See that
the patriotic soldier and able statesman,
Grant and Colfax, are placed at the head
of the government and army at Washing
ton, and then the rebels north, as well as
south, will be as powerless as they were at
the surrender of Lee. s9a5 81

Walters Troupe of theatrical which
played at the Court House in this village
on the three last evenings of last week was
well received by respectable audiences.
The first nights entertainment was not
as well attended as on the following occas-
ions, partly owing to the fact that the
weather was very unfayorable, and partly
from the fact that it was hardly expected
taat the performance would be worth at
tending; there being so many mounte-
banks and murderers of Shakespeare in
the business, that people are afraid of pat
ronizing such affairs for fear of getting
sold. The report of their first nights per-
Torrance being favorable, a good house
was in attendance the second night, which
was increased the third night. The acting
was very good, and the pieces well chosen.
On their return to our village, which will
probably be during the coming county
fair, we can promise them large and APP
preciative audiences.

w- There are some people always look
ing out for sights. They cannot even re-
ceive friend, they cannot carry on the
daily intercourse of the family, without
suspecting some ofense is designed. Meet
an acquaintance in the street who happens
to be pre-occupied with business, they at
tribute his abstraction to some motive per-
sonal to themselves, and take umbrage &C
cordingly. They lay on others the fault
of their own irritability. A fit of indiges-
ton makes them see impertinence in every
body they come in contact with. Innocent
persons, who never dreamed Of giving Of
Tense. are astonished to find some unfortu-
nate word, or some momentary taciturnity,
mistaken for an insult To say the least,
the habit is unfortunate It is far wiser
to take the more charitable view of our fell
low-beings, and not suppose slight is in
tended, unless the neglect is open and di-
rect. After all, too, life takes it's hue, in
great degree, from the color of our own
mind. If we are frank and generous, the
world treats us kindly. If, on the. contra
ry, we are suspicious, men learn to be cold
and cautious to us. Let person get the
reputation of being touchy, and everybody
is under more or less, restraint; and in
this way the chances Of an imaginary Of
Tense are vastly increased. People who
fire up easily miss deal of happiness
Their jaundiced tempers destroy their own
comfort, as wei! as that of their friends
They have forever some fancied slight to
brood over. The sunny, serene content
ment of less selfish dispositions never Wis
its them.
