ONE LINK GONE.

Take the pillow from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtain, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam Of day.
Spread the pail upon the table,
Lay the lifeless body there;
Back from of the marble features,
Lay the auburn curls with care.
With its little blue-veined fingers
Crossed upon its sinless breast,
Free from care, and pain, and anguish,
Let the cherub infant rest.
Smooth its little shroud about it;
Pick the toys from off the floor
They. with all their sparkling beauty,
Meier can charm their owner more.
Take the little shoes and stockings
From the doting mothers sight,
Pattering feet no more win need them,
Walking in the fields of light.
Parents faint and worn with watching,
Through the long dark night of grief,
Dry your tears and sooth your signing
Gain a respite of relief.
Mother, care no more is needed
To allay the rising moan,
And though you perchance may leave it,
Itcan never be alone.
Angels bright will watch beside it
In its quiet, holy slumber
IT'LL the morning then awake it
To place among their number.
Thus golden link is broken
In q chain of earthly bliss
Thus the distance shorter making
'TwiXt the brighter world and this.

Jail Delivery Saturday Night.
Three White Men Gain their Liberty


Three lite men, named, respectively,
Phil. Burns, J. w. Williams, and Joe Yam
cey, made their escape, rather mysterious
ly, from the jail here last Saturday night.
The men had been furnished with the
necessary Instruments with which to undo
the fas,enings to the cell door some time
previous, and st night the jailOr, Lewis
Hardy, passed through the outside door,
leaving it unlocked. and went on up to the
second story. The prisoners svailed them
selves of this convenient opportunity to
make their escape.
Burus was awaiting trial for malicious
shooting. Williams for larceny, and Yancy
for playing Kuklux and stealing from his
colored friends.
We don't charge the jailor with any
completely in the delivery of these prison
ers, though we have heard many express
considerable indignation at what the mild
est of them pronounce an inexcusable di-
rejection of official duty. With knowI-
edge Of the many similar instances which
have occurred here, it does seem little
strange to US that the jailOr should forget
to lock the door of the prison.
The jsilor, through handbills, offers a
| reward of $25 apiece for the apprehension
and confinement of the prisoners.

A. Hadley, in a communication 70 the
Northwestern Farmer gives what be regards
as three important reasons why clover
qbould always be grown with timothy:
/. The clover being taP-rOotsd. Pens-
trates deeply, stands droutb, melIOWs the
soil. and the timothy grows much stronger
and holds up the clover. e. If sown for
pasturage the timothy almost universally
prevents the clover from swelling cattle
3. Hay is too binding, especially for cattle.
and clover too washy (succulent); hence,
both together are better than either alone.
To these we may add, Under the head Of
the fret. where grasses come in rotation, it
is Of the utmost importance, on clay soil,
that at least part of this grass crop be clo-
yer. It will serve to mellow and loosen the
heavy soil 10 g remarkable degree, so that
when turned over With a plow it viii not
only be rich, but loose and friable. If, on
the other hand, timothy alone be sown
(which some do because the hay sells bet
ter) the soil will turn over heavy aud clam
my. and be unfit for any crop which is 10
follow. The same correspondent says that
be is partial to rye for calf OF sheep pasture,
which he occasionally sows in The summer
or autumn, after a crop Of corn; aad then,
after being pastured winter and spring, Il

People who are apprehensive that some
of these days this globe may be smashed to
atoms by wandering comet and who have
not been reassured by the assertions of sci
enti6c men, that comets are mainly com
posed OF gas. may certainly now dismiss
their fears. An aerolite, as big as a small
comet, has recently fallen on the earth s
surface near Warsaw, in Poland, without
doing any damage. but, on the contrary, be-
ing itself shivered to pieces by cOncussion
with the atmosphere before it reached the
ground. It is said to have had surface OF
two thousand acres, which by computation
would give it diameter of more than 8
mile. 1t first bursted high up in the air,
then each of the pieces broke up in turn,
until parts of the mass were reduced to
powder. One scientific man picked up 924
fragments. another ,692. and millions
more remained strewed over the country,
This shows that our atmosphere acts as a
kind of cushion to protect US against such
dangerous visitors, and also both sets them
on fire by friction, and by the heat thus en-
gendered explodss them into comparatively
harmless bits.

TAKE AWAY YOUR COCKTAIL.
A Warning to Drinkers.

Jinks drank too much, as sll his friends
knew. but. like many another good fellow
who drinks. it Was hard to convince Jinks
that he ought to let up on it. He boarded
at one of the hotels, and night after night
he would remain until past midnight at the
saloon bar "histiDg" it in, rendering it nee
essary morning after morning to have
cocktail brought up from the saloon before
he could get out of bed, and then another
to brace him up for breakfast.
Finally, the bar attendant, who brought
up the drinks, demonstrated with him, tell
ing him that if ne continued his course
rauch longer he would certainly have the

years. Il never hurts me. A cocktail or
two in the morning. and I'm ell right al
ways"
The bar man had more sympathy for =
man on the downward road Of intemperahcs
than most bar men have, and he determin-
ed to give Jinks a fright. Accordingly,
the next morning, when the well-knOWn
ring from Jink's room was heard, the bar
tender prepared very entioing gin cock

in Innocent wonder.
''Why the toads, snakes and things round

back of the bed and viewing the loathsome
reptiles with aversion and dismay.
"Why, Jinks. my man, there is nothing
around the tumbler-no:hing on the waiter
except the cocktail"

Beautiful Compliment.

From the Henderson, KY, Reporter.
More than two years ago one of the lOvli-
est and most accomplished ladies of our ci-
ty gave her hand to a resident of sister
State, and with him went from US to their
home. The parental roof-.ree was on yes
teyday gladdened by the return. for brief
visit, of husband, wife and their little
child.
Two hours before the turn of midnig ght-
in the stiffness of the hushed night. and un-
der the shodow Of the silvery moon, were
seen, two by two. stealing into the porch
of the old home, the forms Of many oi those
who, from youth up. had known and loved
the returned one. Silent they stood for a
time, and then when the radiance was
brightest and the hush the stillest, came
forth from voices attuned to melody most
perfect the words of 1OeIc0nas home. And
how ioyously did the night wind take up
and bear onward the refrain,
"Home again, home again, from foreign shore"
as tenor, bass, aud alto, strove in generous
rivalship of harmony, with the tuneful so
prano The song sung-the welcome Civ
en--as silently they came, they went away
And now the returned one may carry
with her through life, as a cherished souve.

The LEGAL Advertising Questian.


Mr.. Woodcock introduced a bill in the
house last Wednesday to amend the act of
last session regarding the publication of le-
gal notices. The amendment required such
notices to be published in the paper having
the largest circulation in the county where
in the notices are required to be published,
such paper having been de - by the
Governor and confirmed ate in
accordance with the origini Passed
and referred TO Judiciary Committee.
II the Judiciary Committee would do its
duty and eutitIe itself to the lasting graft
tude and respect of the CESS and the peO-
pie, let it recommend the repeal of the orig
inal act--relieve clerks and sherifs of the
unnecessary trouble imposed upon them;
relieve the parties IN the Courts from the
unnecessary expense of having extra adver-
tising done 10 their respective counties; re-
lieve the conservative Press of this unjust
and proscriptive curtailment of their legIti-
mate aud necessary patronage. and let all
papers, of all parties, stand upon their own
merits-"free and independent"- ed
and uutrammelled by partisan Legislation.
What say you. Press and Times? What
say you. Legislators? Can you, will you
afford to be just and honest in this matter?
