MY LITTLE ONES.

BY n. SCOTT.
NEVER a noise my LITTLE oucs make.
pattcrinC through the hall;
Never a bit Of trouble they take,
Always within my call
MY little ones are, and oh so good.
Gathered about my knee.
Harry would be a man, Il he could,
Though he is only three.
Benny, my eldest, my hrst-born,
Stlll sitting on my lap,
Though he now dreams Of the college hour,
And hoists bis ready cap.
These are my little ones, ah so sweet
And yet one more
He never has tried his little feet,
Never beyond the door
Nestled close in my heart are all
Myquist little ones;
Ever within my whispered call,
My noiselcss little sors.
They play at ball on the oakcn floor,
Many a time and Oft;
Or steal behind through the open door
To kiss me soft.
NV little ones in memory live,
Allsoquiet and still;
Never a bit of trouble thev give,
They come and go at will.
Come and go about my home
So soft and still:
In my brain my little ones roam,
MY heart they fll.
All about In happy places
Are my little ones
But none may see the angel faces
or my little sons.

FROM LELAND.
FIRE.


On Saturday night of last week the house Of
Mr.. Dorfner, situated on Locust street, caught
fire, and it was with considerable trouble that
the fire was extinguished Every citizen who
could be made available was set to work playing
fireman. The fire was not put out until every
thing inside the building, in the lower story,
had burned up and the fire had reached the up
per story. But for the fact of a heavy fall OF
rain on the previous night, so as to fill up an
open well within few feet of the house, the fire
could not have been extinguished, and all the
houses on Railroad Avenue must have become
victims The loss is probably no. far from $500.
The owner, Mr. Dorfner, was in Peru, and knew
nothing of it until after it had happened.
THE RAIN-DAMAGE.
On Friday and Saturday nights we had the
heaviest fall of rain known in these parts for 10
years. On Friday night the fall on the level &C.
tually measured two feet but the fall was not 80
heavy on the following day. Considerable dam.
age was occasioned by the rains. Roads were
spoiled, and in many places covered with water
for one.fourth of a mile at stretch. The walls
Of the Severy House slipped from under the
building, especially the south 40 feet, and the
inmates of the building were reused from their
slumbers to work for their lives. 1t was with
the utmost caution, diligence, labor and danger
that the building was kept from falling down
Full $500 damage was caused by the fall.

THOMAS PERRY, Qamiliarly known

seventy.six years. The original name
Of the deceased was Butler, but he
assumed the namo of Perry from an
unclo by whom he was adopted. The
a1nictions and privations Of his de-
clining days, he sustained with great
patience and resignation, and his con-
vcrsation and his department shortly

The LABOR MOVEMENT IN THE
STATE.-Wc sec that movement has
been set on foot by committee Of
Republicans, to hold " convention OF
the working classes in Columbia, Oh
tho Gath inst, for the purpose Of reg
ulating the subject of wages. This
movement we think, can only cmbar-
rass the relations between employer
and employee, without affecting any
permanent good to the laborers. Cir
cumstances may Justify these combi-
nations. and trades and professions
may find it necessary to take meas
ures to sccurc their dignity and intcg-
rity. But no Fictitious appliances can
give more than it's market value to
labor, and it is more than folly to at
tempt to adjust the unreliable agricul
tural labor of the cmancipatcd slave
especially, to any graduated scale of
prices. The upshot of it all will be,
that rs in the waitcrs' strike in New
York, the employer will be forced to
import cheap labor-Chinese perhaps
at any rate cheap labor.

The angels have another sistcr in

youngest daughter of DR.. w. C. Nor

During her severe illness she cxhib-
tied many lovely traits of character.
together with tho more spiritual
graces Of tho childlike Christian.
Her protractcd suffcrings cxtortcd
moans, but no murmur. No word cs-
capped her lips expressing distrust Of
God, or opposition to His will. She
suffered mcelily, believing that the
Divine Father is g too wise to err, too
good to be unlind" "Pray," she
said repeatedly to her sister, "pray to
God to let mo life for those l love,
and to. glorify him by - Christian life,
if it is His sciU; if not, 10 make nc re-
signed and happy in His love-"
There was much around her to
make life hero very sweet. Having
completed her education in Baltimore,
she hurried home last June to be pres.
cnt ut the death bed of her father.
That father lives, aud on the day Of
her burial. kissed her cold brow, bid
ding adicu to his darling. Child with

her love. After long engagement OF

Death, tho messenger Of our Lord,
touched the frail human flower, so
loving and beloved, and she ceased to
suffer and began to live. When dying
she strovc to comfort her father, say
ing how much bottcr it was to have
children with tho angels in Heaven,
than dwelling on earth.
Trusting in Jesus she was willing tc
die. "Madc perfect through suffer
