The Lesson OF Life.

The Warm Hand Of sympathy.

Till We have reflected OH it, we
are scarcely aware how much the
sum of human happiness il the
world Is indebted to this one feel
ing-sympathy. We get cheer
falness and vigor, we scarcely
know how or when, from mere ass
sociation with our fellow-men, and
from the looks reflected on US
OF gladness and enjoyment. We
catch inspiration snd power to go
on, from human presence and from
cheerful looks. The workmen
work with added energy from hav-
ing others by. Tho full family
circle has strength and life pc
culiar to its own. The substan :
tial good and the effectual relief
which men extend to one is tri-
ding. It is not by those, but by
something far less costly. that the
work is done. God has insured it
by much more simple machinery
He has given to tho weakest and
poorest the power to contribute
largely to the common stock OF
gladness. The child's smile and
laugh are mighty powers in this
world. When bereavement has left
you desolate, what substantial
benefit is there which makes con-
dolence acceptable2 It cannot re
place tho loved ones you have lost.
1t can bostow upon you nothing
permanent. But warm hand has
touched yours. and its thrill told
you that there was living re-
SPONGE there to your emotion. One
look, one human sigh, has done
more for you than the costliest
present could convey.

THE HOUSE OF aILENCE.
sY SUSANNA =. noo,s.

BY SUSANNA =. MOORE.
We were lingering near the gateway
Lingering for friend to come
While our thoughts we're dwelling sadly
On the silence OF that home.
Flowers were blooming round the threshold
Filling with perfume the air;
And we fancied, for . moment,
We should meet the dear ones there!
Twas the fancy of moment,
For We knew they all we're gone,
Knew full well that we were waiting,
Near the gateway all alone.
There q young and happy couple,
Shared the cares, the joys OF life
He, loving hearted husband,
She, true and trusting wife.
Three sweet babes had blessed their union,
And the future seemed to be
As pathway without shadow,
Far 40 human eye could sae;
But there came an hour Of darkness:
Who has not experienced this y
That We meet our deepest trials,
In expected hours Of bliss
In such hour-the wife-the mother
Passed through death to life away;
Lett her children, left her husband,
Here little while to stay.
Now, one heart is desolated;
This, oh, this, too well know;
But We dare not draw picture,
10 portray another's woe I
He " no has in love afflicted,
Will not leave US all alone
He will soothe our every sorrow
When we feel his will 10 done.
But we hear light footsteps coming,
For our friend is near the gate;
Farewell ! to the house of silence,
For we would not have her v ait.

School Tax.

School Tax.
The Trustees of this Coanty had de-
termined upon subn itting proposition
to levy tax of one half mill upon the dollar
as property tax, and capitation tax of
fifty cents. The County having levied a
capitation tax of fifty cents, which is the
limit, fixed by the Constitution, for all
purposes, it won Id te Illegal to impose
another. Hence the County tax for
School purposes must be one upon prop
erty alone. A tax of less than one mill
would not answer the purpose designed.

Roads.
The Page Courier speaks of their roads
being in excellent cond iton and attributes
the fact to the working of the new sys-
tenn. We are sorry that we cannot say
the same about our Roads.
A great improvement could be made in
some of the roads by Macadamising at
points where they are most liable to be
cut up. We think an experim ent could
be made on the road leading from this
place to Van Buren, furnace. 1t is used a
great deal and by a little attention could
be made an exeelleut road. Our farmers
and owners of lots near town, could con-
tribute to this enterprise by hauling the
loose stones from their land to the road
side. They could be broken and put on the
road by the Roadmasters.
