EDs. REPUBLICAN, Having noticed in
late number of your excellent family
journal request to persons in different
parts of the county 10 send in items OF
news, | have concluded to try hand at a
communication.
All the Republicans in this vicinity who
have seen your paper are well pleased
with its appearance, and am sure that il
you would visit this part Of the county
with few copies of the REPUBIIcAN and
with your subscription book you could
add large number of good names TO
your list We are all very busy with
harvesting. Wheat looks very well the
yield about here will DC more than aver
age. Oats promise an excellent crop.
Corn is perhaps IN a worse condition thai,
any other early crop. the ground having
been too wet to admit OF being plowed
and hoed as il should have been. In
walking through tie country yesterday 1
saw several fields in which there had eyi>
DENLY been no pillow since the last furrow
was run, for weeds were far above the
corn Potatoes have not been very much
injured by the potato bug. bat have been
under water too much of the time to pro-
duce large yield.
This is good saw mill country, the
timber being of very heavy and of
good quality Cushman's mil turns out
splendid lumber, Oglesbees mill is un>
doubtedly one of the best in the county.

CAT THE LAST.v


The sire am is calmest when il nears the tide,
And flowers are sweetest at tho eventide,
And Lsrds most musical at close Of day,
And saints divinest when they pass away.
Morning is lovely, but hoiier charm
IiSs folded close in Evenings robe Of balm;
And weary man mrsI ever love her best,
For morning calls TO toll, but night TO rest.
She comes from heaven, and on her wings
doth bear
holy fragrance. like the breath of prayer;
Footsteps Of angels follow in her trace,
To shut the weary eyes of Day in peace.
All things are hushed before her as she tL.ows
Der earth and sky her mantle Of repose;
There i "a calm, a beauty and power
That Morning knows not, in the evening hour
until the evening" we most weep and toll,
Plow LIES stern farrow, dig the weedy soil,
Tread with sad feet our rough and thorny
way
And bear the heat and burden of the day.
Oh, when our sun is setting, may we glide,
Like summer evening, dowL the golden tide;
And leave behind as we pass away
Sweet, starry twilight round our sleeping clay
