POetical.
SO Goes the World,

Our varied days pass on and on
Our hopes fade unfulflled away
And things which seem the life of life,
Are taken from us day by day;
And yet through all the busy streets
The crowd Of pleasure-scekers throng,
The puppets play, the showman's call,
And gossirs chat the whole day long,
And SO the world goes on.
our little dramas come to naught
our lives may fail, our darling plan
May crumblc into nothngness,
Our nrmest castle fail TO stand;
And yet the children sing and dance,
The moncy-mnkers laugh and shout,
The stars uumindful, still shine bright,
Unconscious that our light is out,
And SO the world goes on.
The house grows sad that once was gay,
The dear ones seek their Blessed Home,
And we may watch and wait in vain
TO hear their well-known footsteps come;
And yet the sunlight checks the floor,
And makes the summer shadows long,
The rose-buds at the easement bloom,
The bird pours forth his cheerful song,
Ana 80 the world goes on.
And God goes on, and with our woe,
Weaves golden threads of JOY and peace.
Guarding with His heart of hearts,
Our days Of pain, our days of case
lie marks them all--ihe seed, the sheaves,
Tho dangers smile, the mourner's tears
And keeps them safc-Ilis children all
Through all the great eternal years,
Ana SO, thank God, the world goes on.

A FAMILY WITHOUT A PAPER.--Noth-
ing presents sadder comment upon the
present unhealthy condition of our once
loved and prosperous country than the
large number of families, both in the city
and country but more especially in the
latter, that subscribe to no paper of any
kind. Hundreds and thousands of fami-

world around them-ignorant of the

Big Game.
iFrom the Ino. Jurnal.l

From the Ino. Jurnall
Our correspondent "KANKAKEE,"
whose communication we publish in
another column, gives an erpose of one of
the largest grab games that has been set
afoot in Indiana since the memorable
swamp land swindle of Gov. Wizards
time. Under cover of a law, seemingly
intended for the benefit ofthe settlers and
land owners of the Kankakee region,
measures have been inaugurated for turn
ing hundreds of our citizents out of their
homes, and transferring their titles to their
farms to set of land sharks. We do not
believe that even the last Democratic
Legislature was rascally enough to in
tend that such game should be assisted
by the supplemental drainage law passed
last winter, but it is quite evident now,
that the gentlemen in whose interest that
law was passed, were the present cor
porators of the Kankakee and Newton
County Drainage Associations, who have
completed arrangements for gobbling
over half million of acres of land under
color of that law. The plans of the men
having this scheme in charge are fully ex-
posed by our correspondent Under the
pretext of raising funds to drain the
swamp lands, they have made extrava-
CANT assessments for prospective benefits
to lands, and as most of the land owners
are unable to pay the assessments, their
lands will be sold at auction, while the
men who have concocted the schemes will
bid them in. The whole thing is an out
rageous perversion of the drainage law,
which was intended for the use and benefit
Of our own citizens, who, it was expect
ed, would combine their means and efforts
| from time to time, for the purpose of i'm
proving their lands, as they were able.
Now, two immense corporations, COM
posed mainly Of nonresidents, are using
the law to bankrupt and ruin our citizens.
This must not be. There is certainly
some legal preventive for SO great a
wrong. The people of some of the coun-
ties in which the lands lie, are very much
excited, and we learn of one instance in
which the agents of the corporators have
been driven from their work. We do not
council violence, but urge those who are
interested to invoke the protection OF
the law before their loss is irreparable.

TOUCHING INcIDENT.-Int the city lives
a poor family, the father of which is a
Catholic, while the mother is Protest

child of five years, suddenly sickened and
died. During its sickness it was attend

on every vi it by his daughter, girl of
fifteen years, who eviuced the greatest So
licitude for the little sufferer When
death came with its cold icy grasp, this
young lady was there, and with tender
hands closed the innocent eyes and ar
ranged the form of the babe who had been
called home. The funeral took place the
next day, and, owing to the conflict of re-
ligious opinions between the parents,
neithe priest nor minister was called in.
The VIC ing lady went to the house of
mourning, and, IN company with the grief
stricken pan ,ents, followed the remains to
the cemetery. Arriving there, the little

by this outburst, and when she called up
on the young lady to offer prayer tor
her poor darling, all reverentially Lucov-
cred and knelt to the ground. The 20 ing
lady, without moments hesitation,
knelt and commenced praying. At first,
her voice was visibly affected by emotion,
but as she proceeded she seemed to for
get self and surroundings, and poured
forth such afervent and touching appeal
to the Throne of Grace that there was
not, when she ceased, dry eye or an I'M

When she had finished, the body was
carefully lowered into the grave above
which now grows some beautiful flowers,
mementoes of the love of the fair young
lady.-Mensphss Aoalanehe.
