Died, January 31st, 1870, infant son of Jesse
and Elvira Branson, aged eight days; and on
GRANT, aged year months and % days.
'1Oh, when parents meet ON high
The babes they lost in infancy,
VIII they not have for pains and fears,
For weary days and watchful nights,
For all their sorrows, all their tears,
An oVerpayment of delightr'
Sickness and sorrow have laid their heavy
hands upon the bereaved parents. Two little
ones have been torn from their arms by the re-
lentless hand of death, all within q period of
less than six weeks, and almost without note
of warning. Indeed, how unsatiate is death
how unrelenting his demands. One darling
could not suffice, though sweet little babe but
one week old, angel spirit, mild, innocent and
lovely as Eden's first morn, it did not satisfy,
but Death must lay his icy hands upon their
frst-born and their all, with less than forty
eight hours illness. To those who knew the
angel tread, smiling face and winning ways of
sweet little Grant. we need not praise him, for
the tears of weeping friends, and the long fu-
neral procession, spoke in words too plain to
be mIsunderstood-love be to his memory and
peace to his remains. But oh, how sad to see
him die and go to his dreamless bed; and then
go back and gather up his little garments and
precious playthings that he loved so dearly,
and hide them from sight, leaving only the
memory of his loneliness to fill the void within
your hearts.
Deeply do we sympathize with Them for we
know, from sad experience, the feelings offond
parents they stand beside the grave of n
cherished babe; and as our pen would utterly
fail us in the attemptto describe these feelings,
so does our heart fail in the attempt to speak
words of comfort and consolation to those who
feel as none but those who have suffered the
heartrending experience do feel.
All, yes, too good for earth, they have left for
realms above,
To bask within Jehovah's smile where all is
peace and love.
Their dimpled hands in silence lie across the
puiseless breast,
And in their waXen beauty tell of Deaths
deep, dreamless rest.
The cleaning eyes, so soft and bright, are cur
tanned in repose,
And on their cheeks but lilies live where lately
bIoomed the rose.
The saddest trial you have known, with
scarce n warning given,
That God had chosen your precious buds to
bloom for him in heaven.
No babe to sleep in mama's arms, or receive her
watchful care.
To place her future hopes upon and blessings
No little boy to watch for pa, and meet him
at the door,
Those bright blue eyes and sunny smiles will
greet him here no more.
The threbbings of your hearts bring pain, each
remembrance a tear,
For everything reminds you of your little ones
that are not here.
Then put the half-worn shoes away, and
playthings all so dear,
Yes, lock them safe from out your sight,
Grant, your darling, is not here.
But what is that they've given you? a precious
lock of golden hair,
Then press it closely to your heart, because it
is so dear.
And raise your thoughts from earth, to God
your hearts be given,
Mourn not for your cherub babes whose
beauty blooms in heaven.
MRS. C. C. DEwEEsE.

We have frequently heard strangers remark
that the cattle ia this country were Of better
quality than they had expected to see in a
country so new. 1t is fact that good deal
Of the stock hereabouts is frstrate. Still some
people who engage extensively in stock-raising
appear TO think that it is not worth while to
improve their stock-that tong-legged, lank,
long-horned animal is just as desirable as a
round, close-made, neat and handsome one.
Sentiment is fast changing in this respect, how
ever, and the day is not far distant when an in
ferior grade will sell only at great discount
in this country. 1t don't cost any more-nor
so much-to raise good animal than a poor
one, and we don't see why people won't ADAM
don the latter, and keep and deal in nothing
but the former. As an illustration of the ad-
vantage in raising good stock, let those who
feel an interest in the matter call and look at
the stock belonging to Lewis Haver, on his
farm ON the Neosho. he has been at consider
able expense TO improve his herd, and as n re-
suit, has a lot of yearlings and two-year-olds
that are worth from five to twenty dollars more
per head than the scrubs that some farmers
will persist in raising. r.

FINE CATTLE.-To the eye Of the cattle-man
no finer sight can be had than a large drove OF
fine, fat, cornfed steers, all large and OF about
equal size 1t is n feast which he enjoys as
much intellectually, as he enjoys that one
ply sically which he sits down to ut dinner,
and which is served up-to him in the shape of
a nice, tender, juicy and well cooked steak or
roast. Although no cattle-man ourself, we
doubt whether the most enthusiastic admirer
and the best judge of cattle, would have en-
joyed more heartily the sight which we ENJOY
ed day or two since. A short ride into the
country, about three miles east, brought US to
a most delightful place in the timber where 60
head Of as fine, large, fat cattle as we ever be-
held arc kept. No better spot could have been
selected for a corral. The Neosho winds along
the southern edge of the timber, from which
the ground gradually rises until it reaches the
bluffs on the north and west. The timber and
bluffs together afford very sure protection
against the wind and cold. These cattle are
now the property of +. Schmidling, Esq, our
enterprising butcher, who has just purchased
them from j. c. and w. C.. Fraker. There
We're originally 20 head in the herd, but Mr..
Schmidling had been slaughtering them ut the
rate of from six to eight head per day for few
days previous TO the day of our visit, and the
number was at that time just 90. We never
saw a finer lot of cattle. The Messrs. Fraker
have been feeding the larger portion OF them
for five months, all the corn and hay they
would cat, while the rest have been cared for
in the same manner by Z. w. Lee, of Toledo,
until very recently, when they have all been
collected together and fed by Mr.. Fraker and
brother.
Scarcely any Of those cattle would fall below
| 1900 lbs. in weight, while some of them
will fall but very little short of 1900 pounds
One large white steer we are sure-and our
opinion is confirmed by good judges-will
weigh fully one tun.
We advise all who areloyers OF fine stock to
| go out and look at this herd of splendid cattle

NEW HoUsEs.-There was a time when THE
NEWS faithfully noted the erection OF every
new house in town, but that time has gone by
it Is no longer practicable; too many houses
are going up to make note of each indiyid-
ually. In our perambulations through the city
the other day, we saw great many new houses
which we have never mentioned, and many
frames not yet inelosed, upon which the work
men were at work. We made partial list of
what we saw, as follows:
Isaiah Jones, a two-story frame business
house, 60 feet deep, on Commercial street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth avenues.
Miss Emma Dixon, milliner shop, on Com
mereial street, near Seventh avenue
G.. II. Bartch, one-and-a-half story cottage,
on Mechanics street, south of Sixth avenue.
Almerin Gilett, n residence OH lot No. IS

Evan Jones, a tailor shop, between First
and Second avenues, on Commercial street.
James means, residence on Market street, be-
tween South and First avenue.
Albert Kennedy, residence on lot No. 12 Mar
ket street.
John Carr, residence on Sixth avenue, be-
tween Cottonwood and Sylvan streets.
L. +. Sprague. residence, Oh Cottonwood
street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues.

street and Seventh avenue.
DIR. Lawrence, residence, on Constitution
street, between Ninth and Tenth avenues.
Rev. j. G.. Houston, residence, on Merchants
street, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
James Hammel, residence on State street, be-
tween Tenth and Eleventh avenues.
Joseph Ruble, residence, corner Of Constitu-
ton street and Ninth avenue.
Thomas Holmes, residence, on State street,
between Fifth and Sixth avenues.
DIR. T. Morris, residence, corner of State
street and Fifth avenue.
Mr.. o. 1. case is finishing the brick residence
on the corner of Neosho street and Sixth ay-
enue.
In addition to the above, we saw the material
ON the ground for many houses not yet COM
menced; foundations laid upon which the
frames will soon be raised; frames not inclOsed,
and houses not yet finished, which we do not
mention be cause we did not learn whose they
were; besides many that have been built in
the several additions to the town site which we
do not include, and others of temporary
character which will by and by give way to
more substantial buildings.

THE BAND.-The members Of the Emporia
Cornet Band propose to reorganize ON per
manent basis, II money enough can be raised
10 purchase some new instruments. Several of
the old instruments are worn out and useless,
and nothing can be done until the new instru-
ments are had. We need band. There will
be many occasions during the summer and fall
when hand will be absolutely necessary.
There Will be celebrations, fairs and political
meetings, where a band will be indispensable.
The amount Of money that will be necessary to
hire band for one occasion will almost meet
the demands Of our own band. Acanvass will
be made in few days for the purpose Of rails
ing the amount OF money TO meet the wants OF
our band, and we hope our citizens will con-
tribute literally. With this aid the boys pro-
pose to make our band one Of the best in the
State. Contributions may be left Mt THE News
Office any time during the next week.

served the NJ. E. Church OF Emporia in the ca
pacity of pastor, and has tremendously gone in

low-ministers Of the other evangelical church

expression of fraternal regard. His quiet and

his family take their leave OF US, we sincerely
commend them to the Divine Watcher, praying
that true prosperity may attend them wher-
ever their lot shall be cast.
