The note was given by one of orr citizens

lirious manner, and sought shelter in the

night. There are evidences that he tried to
gain admittance into the main part OF the
building through a door leading into-the
shanty, and being unable to accomplish the
purpose by this door, endeavored to enter by

The moments fit like shining things,
Aglow for very pleasure;
The hours hymn by on golden wings,
In sweet, slow-mo ring measure,
Day, lettering, careless round her filings,
Her regal store of treasure,
And night in softest cadence sings
The song of happy leisure
Life's richest wine in sparkling beads,
From ont Times cup IS flowing;
And eager thought to thought succeeds,
Inspired by its glowing;
Long-silent powers call for deeds
To thrill them into growing,
And soundless voices hint the needs.
Fair Honor is bestowing.
. strong armed Present leaning back
In listless indecision,
And idly peering down Lifes track
Where CLOVIS soma dream Elysian;
Reach forth transform to living fact
Each haunting, hope-born vision,
Compel the Future, by thine act,
To yield thee proud submission.

A CLOSE SoUEEzE. the bene-
fit of those whe may be curious to learn
how our Literary Society came out fnan-

invested in lectures for the benefit Of the
ticket holders
