To aAddie, in Heaven.

My darling child in heaven above. o, how miss thee
here;
Deluslve fancy often paints and whispers thou art
near,
look to see thy saintcd form and clasp thee to my
breast,
nd thou art forever gone art gone to be at resi.
My darling up in heaven, could SEQ thy angel face,
And catch lhe bright scraphc smile that o'cr each
feature plays.
Methinks this stricken heart of mine would soon for
get It's load,
woud bow to thy behests 0 God. and kiss the chast-
ening red.
Could but see beyond the vel that hides thee from
my sight
Mcthinks I'd thy angel form arrayed in dazzling
white
A harp within Thy little hands, a crown upon thy
head
lamb beside the saviour's side, and by him gently
led.
I'd ssc thee pluck celestial fruit from boughs of golden
Gather sweet flowers Of Paradise from fields of azure
blue
Drink living waters from the stream that flows SO
genilJbY
with angels walk the golden streets and with the
angels fly.
Thou darling of parents heart could but hear thy
voice,
Amongst the angel bands abeve, how would my heart
rejoice
10 hear thee sing the Savionrs praise and chant re-
deeming love,
That took thee from world of pain to dwell with
Christ above.
Enrths conflicts with thee now arc DER, thourt safe
from every fear,
Aud though cannot come to thee, the sayiour's ever
near;
lie will protect my little lamb and fold her to his
breast,
And from the rude and stormy blast enjoy glorious
rest.
Mchinks again hear thy voice in sylvan toSes reply
Weep not for me I'm happy now, never more shall
die;
Come meet me on tho river ehore, within the prom
ised land.
Where angels roam the golden banks a bright and
shining hand
Yes, we will meet thee precious one, when all our
tolls are DER,
On hoe bright plains of endless Joy where parting is
no more,
Where we shall Join the angel bands and sing rcdcea
lug love,
And never from the Saviour stray, in that bright
world above. s. II.

Two ofthe three of the most innoccnt-look-

to Warsaw, who could not possibly be

usual way.
Others, who had reason to suppose them

dark, and then climbed the wall of the con-

Gated with one of the outer boulevards.
Wilenski was in a hurry to get home at

would be until his return. So taking up

Benjamin +. Wade completed his law
studies in August, lS2S,a was admitted to
practice in the Courts of Ashtabula county,
Ohio. He settled down at Jefferson, and
was nearly 90 years old before he received a
case. His first attempt at the bar was in
defense of young man charged with some
petty oflcnse, and so determined was he to
clear his client that the old lawyers we've
greatly amused at his vigorous efforts and
earnest appeal for justice to his client. AL
though the case may have appeared small to
others, it was big case for Wade, and he
worked at it with all his might SO jealous
was he, that after the trial was over, the
good old presiding Judge condescendcd to
privately give him word of encouragement.
Mr.. Wade says no one can know how much
good the kind words of the Judge did him,
and how they put courage into his heart to
| fight the future battles of his life Without
the advantages of early education, Mr..
Wade felt constantly the need of close appli-
cation TO his law books, and became hard
student. The lawyers soon began to notice
his opinions, and the energy and confidence
he threw into case He had most won.

STEAM FIRE ESGINE.-The members of Wash
ington Engine Company have determined to
dispose of their hand machine and purchase a
steam engine to take its place. Any of the
neighboIing towns that may desire a substantial
hand engine, in good working order, and capable
of efficient service, will do well to apply at once
and secure the engine that is about to be thrown
out of use. For the purpose of raising the m cans
to pay for their new engine the Firemeu will
give New. Years Ball, the proceeds of which
will be applied to that purpose. But small
part of the purchase money can be obtained in
this way, and hence it will be necessary to appeal
to the liberality of our business men and all
who have property liable to be destroyed BY FIRE.
Some of the members of the Company have al
ready Piled ged themselves to pay SlOO each
toward getting steam FIRE engine, and it is not
doubted that property hOlders-not members
will contribute With equal liberality. The engine
is estimated to cost not to exceed $4,000, ana
what with the sale of the old machine, and the
money that can be realized from the ball and oy
subscriptions, the members are sanguine tnat
they will be able to pay for steam hre engine

IMPROVED PLow.-Mr. J. F. Abbott has now at
work on his ranch an improved 4" Gang Plow,"
which, upon examination, we deem admirably
adapted to the wants of farmers in this Valley.
This plow is the invention of j. c. Pfeil, of Ills
nOis and the merit claimed for it, is that it runs
lighter than other plows running at the same
depth, and held by the plowman while on foot.
The depth of the furrow is regulated by crank
axle, which is 50 arranged that the the p!ow can
be driven deeper or shallower by means of
lever at the pleasure of the driver, when the
team is in motion. With this pillow one man can
do more work than two men with the ordinary
walking plow and the same amount of team, and
hence on any ordinary farm the whole cost OF the
implement can be saved in a single season.
Among all the labor-saving machines we have
examined, designed for the use o: the farm, we
know of none that for simplicity, ease of work.

we commend it to the attention of our farmer
