There is many q rest on the road Of life,
II we only would stop to take Il;
And many tone from wisdom's voice,
II the querulous heart would make It
To the sunny soul, that Ia full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'r faileth,
The grass is green, the flowers are bright,
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to hope, though the clouds hang low,
And to keep the eyes i'll lifted
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted
There was never night without day,
Or an evening without O morning;
And the darkest hour as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many gem in the path Of life,
Which we pass in our idle pleasures,
That is richer far than the joweled crown,
Or the miser's boarded treasures;
It may be thelove Of little chiid,
Or mothers prayerito Heaven,
0r.oniy beEgars grateful thanks
Fora cup Of water given
Better to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden filing,
And to Gods will bow with ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing;
Than to snap the delicate minute threads
OF our curious life asunder, ~
And then blame Heaven for the tangled ends,
And sit and grieve, and wonder

ON The cars Of the Keokuk and 81. Paul

the soldier had his boots on one OF the seats,
when the brakesman ordered him to remove
them; one word brought on another, until

Conductor Blackburn made his appearance
and qaelled the disturbance. Judge jaeger
was on the train and witnessed the fight, and
no doubt, had the parties arrested.
