Oh, sweetly my dove sings!
Like a shaft of light her voice breaks forth,
NV soul to meet it springs
As the shining water leaped OF old,
When stirred by angel wings.
Ave longing to list anew.
Awake and in my dream.
But never song she sang like this,
Sewing her long white seam.
Pair fall the lights, the harbor lights,
That brought me IN to thee.
And peace drop down on that low roof
For the sight that did see,
And the voice. my dear, that rang 50 clear
All for the love OF me.
For Oh, for Oh, with brow bent low
By the Pickering candies glcam
Her wedding gown il WIS she wrought

next look we took at him he was dead, sir :;

stunned.
We had him buried quietly, as he had
said, and then went home. Tom couldn't

Well his time did come, sir, as you can
see by that paper. He stopped there at the
Junction, never talked to nobody, never
read the newspapers, but just ate what they
put before him, and walked around sort of
Inoping. He went regler to Charley Cot

it was still there, and then coming away
again. He always seemed to be waiting for
something; and, as most folks who stops
over at the Junction isjust waiting for trains,

sort of dropped off, about four months after
he lost Charley; and he was buried beside
him, up there.

THE RIvEg.-It will be pleasant. news to
most people to hear that the river has com
menced failing at this point. 1t fell two
inches during the last 81 hours at Dubuque,
and one inch at this place since six o'clock
last evening. The height of the water as
marked on the water gauge of the Davenport
abutment of the new bridge is 6 feet and
inches above low water mark. From a
photographic chart in the Z. S. Engineers
office showing the height of the thermometer
for the last ten years, it is observable that
when the water of the river has reached its
maximum it continues there without any
perceptible decrease for several days, when
it fall rapidly. So within week we may
hope to see the water flowing back in its
proper channel and the river resuming
It's normal height.
