TOWARD HOME.
How shall you and appear
When our souls and bodies sever;
Shall we live as We do here
In the house Of the Forever?
Shall our spirits feel no tread,
And our lives meet no disaster,
When at last we come 10 tread
On the floors Of the Hereafter?
What high art shall serve to cheer
When life's earthcn bowl is broken;
What hath. Sense TO conquer fear;
What hath Hope for sign or token?
Shall our love grow faint or fail,
Or our friendship die oi fasting,
When we cross the shadowy vale
To the halls of Everasting2
Shall we clasp the friends we lo7c,
Karbor fond delights we cherish?
Are dear hearts in want above
For the hour when we shall perisiI
Shall rejoicing shouts arise,
Echoed with joy supernal,
In the grand and peopled skies,
Through the corridors Eternal.
Shall we meet and shall we share
Joys with dear ones here beside US?
Shall there be no parting there
Whatsoever fate betide US;
Will our beings overflow,
Soon as we shall touch its shore,
With delights we can but know
In the land Of Evermo5e.
All l ask brings forth as guests
Angels without mental tasking;
In what our desire suggests
The thought answers 10 the asking
You and l from care and care,
When we reach the golden portal,
Shall each others glory share
IN The groves Of the Immortal.
Rather loves US all llbelow-
Zach as if an only child;
Well the happy shore ! know
Where love liveth undefled:.
Well know the happy shore
t'lecked its waves with snowy laughter
We shall dwell to mourn no more
In the homes OF the Hereafter.

The COUNTY CoMMIssIoNER.--We again
call the attention of the taxpayers to the
importance Of having proper person to
Gil this responsible Office, and urge upon
them the necessity Of sparing little
time to the matter of elections of this
kind, which so nearly concerns them. It
is useless to expect other treatment than
what they receive, so long as they allow
trading office seekers and political
hucksters to say who shall or shall not
be elected, when little exertion, with
the aid Of the Industrious toilers, would
compel the rowdy element and its pipe
layers" to keep their places. An OPP
portunity now offers, and we are glad to
know that some of those having an in
terest at stake have determined to en-
brace it. We learn that number of our
most responsible citizens are urging
Alderman Moffet to become candidate.
This is step in the right way-the Office
seeking the man, not the man the Office.
Nor could better selection be made.
He is gentleman of trained business
habits and marked ability, sturdy in
dependence, and fearless in exposing
wrong doing, as his course in the Board
of Aldermen has clearly shown, and
points him out as the proper person for
the place. He is worth a dozen of the
men of jelly who yield to every circum-
stance which promises to serve a selfish
end. He is also the most available
man, for with the working classes he is
highly esteemed; and his whole career,
public and private, has gained for him
the respect and confidence of the over
burdened property holder; and this
uniting of the two classes would be a
certainty of success. We hope he may
consent to run, for, if he does, and will
90 into The canvass with his accustomed
energy, broken down politicians may
we'll leave the track.
