CASTLE BUILDING.

My childhood mimic castles wrought,
Of tabled ore from elf land brought;
Who docs not, when child,
Build castles of the widest scope,
Through which child fancies dimly grope,
Enchanting, howe'er wild?
Each bell flower, with its spreading dome,
Was model of fairy home,
Where would princess be
Each rolling cloud chariot wheel,
With glowing colors to reveal
My wealth of royalty.
Then girlhood clearer visions woke,
Through wand of hope, with holder stroke
This time the castle wall
Was hewn from granite stores of earth,
By knigh;ly hand Of regal birth,
Whom love crowned lord of all.
No venture seemed too large or bold
For loves transmitting into gold;
With love l walked queen,
Through envied halls of social pride,
Wherein no evil could betide,
Nor shadow be foreseen.
The earth seemed only made for such
As we, to fashion to our touch!
That God had other way
To differ wide from that we planned,
Or by our finite vision scanned,
He did not then betray.
But steadily He overthrow
Each castle as it proudly grew
Each venture on the sea
By wind or storm in turn He wrecked,
Till not CLEAN the vista fecked,
Of sails launched joyously.
No gilded palace now l tread
No Midas king is be I've wed
But better far to me,
The generous home I've learned to prize
Within his heart, beneath his eyes,
Whose light beams tenderly.
No silken curtains richly fall
Der diamond panes from pictured wall
But never storm or sun
Beats on me harshly, for vail
or love, whose colors never pale,
He weaves till day be done.
Within rs roseate folds l dwell,
N IT fear the world beneath its spell:
A loved and trusted wife
Of one subdued to Higher viii
Has Joy beyond her hope to fill
The golden bowl Of life.
The mimic structure Of the child,
Md tangled fern and roses wild,
Or dream of ma:denhood,
Floating adcwn the coming years,
In gilded barge her lover steers,
Is faint to later good
Of love and life restrained 10 pray
For that mysterious, better way
Than ours, our once delight,
Truer the winds that fill our SAIL
Clearer the skies which now prevail.
When steered by faith, not sight.
Faith that Will encircles us,
All-perfect, though MYSTERIOUS;
That if to it we yield.
1t compasses our restless way,
Leading TO rest and peace away,
And treasures, Faith revealed.

Cory o'Lanus on the. VeIocipedc.

Managing the velocipede is just as
easy as skating, when you know how to
do it.
It takes you little time to learn
how
All you have got to do is to keep the
velocipede up and keep it going.
You can't do either of these separate
ly. and have to do them both at once
Which makes it difficult
Because If the velocipede stops it falls
down.
At the same time if it falls down It
will stop.
The first law of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. is
motion.
On the beautiful philosophical princi-
pie that necessitates the perpetual motion
of the planetary bodies, comets, ecipses,
meteors, aurora borealises, and things
which are continually going on.
Or like mans credit, the moment it
stops running he goes up.
Only in the case of the velocipede he
goes down.
First, you must start the velocipede be-
fore you mount, then jump on while it is
running.
If you have had any practice as a
circus rider this comes easy enough
All you have to do then is to catch
the pedals with your feet, and keep the
wheel revolving.
Steering is very easy, when you get
accustomed to it all you have to do is to
turn the wheel the way you want to go,
and you'll go it.
You must not, however, go upon the
principle that one good turn deserves an
other, because too many turns may wind
up with an overturn.
Any speed may be attained by increas-
ing the velocity of the velocipede, which
is done by lively agitation of the driv-
ing wheel.
The more revolutions you make the
faster you will GO

On the 18th inst, Mr. A johnson, of

when he espied the objects of his search,
two horses in the possession of three men.
Mr.. johnson claimed the animals as be-
longing to him, and informed the men he
would Immediately secure the services of
the Sheriff to obtain his property. He
started to look up the Sheriff, when the
men called upon him to stop or they
would kill him. Not needing .heir sum-
mons, the men drew their revolvers and
fired thirteen shots at johnson, five of
which struck him in various places
johnson Immediately drew his revolver
and fired at the attacking party, killing
two of them instantly, and mortally
wounded the third, who only survived
his two other companions ten minutes,
when he also expired. johnson was ar
rested, but the evidence adduced show
ing that he was justified in killing the
three men, he was released. Although
he received five wounds, he was about

dead men decently buried at his own ex-
pense. The names of the deceased were
