Oh, it was well to cover her with flowers.
So young. 90 fair, SO sweet!
Had slipped beneath her feet
Last year abesuteous BRIDE and decked rs now
With veil and blossom;
This year sweet motherhood sat on her brow,
And filed her bosom.
Now what was loves and lne's one year ego
Belongs TO death and heaven,
For wealand bells are knels and notes OF woe.
For smiles our tears are given.
Fold the pure hands upon the pulseless breast.
The glorious eyes are sealed she Is at rest
With Christ in paradise.
The earthly asket was not strong enough
To hold Gods living Jewel.
The paths of lie are full N ihorns and rough,
It's stones are sharp anG ewel.
Then how much better for the lambs TO he
sheltered within Gods fold,
Why do we moan and weep so piteousy
Their faces to behold?
Vas G cd not merciiul to take her so,
While lie was beautiful.
To take her ere The blight OF earthly woe
Had made it pitiiul?
Was He not good to give her back her child
Ere she had lost her way
Amid esrth's labyrinths so dark and wild
Where feet so often stray?
All OF LIES sweetes. blossoms she had culled
No fostering poisons yet
Had pierced her lender hands gently God luled
Her even to forget
The earthly bloom that met at every turn
Her earnest, happy eyes.
In place of these He gave the stars that burn
Forever In the skies.
What are these fragile, floating flowers sec

When God shall give us an eternity
Ofprecious things to grasp?

Ohaunted hearts that mourn!
Weep Tor yourselves, not tor the blessed dead,

Olson green earth that hides
The face your tears and kisses once did lave,
That now in darkness bides.
The darkness is no darkness unto her,
The night has dawned to day,
Never . doubt her trusting soul shall stir,
For God has led the way.

Killed in SelE.Defense.

DELPHI, o., October 30.-Last night
an unknown man, about thirty-five
years old, was killed by Andrew Stevens,
a wealthy farmer residing six miles
from here. The man came to the house
of Mr.. Stevens and asked for soma
matches. Stevens handed him some.
The man had q revolver in his hand,
and asked Stevens if he saw that,
whereupon Stevens knocked it from
his hand, and knocked the man down
upon the floor. Mr.. Stevens had a
small pocket knife in his hand, with
which he stabbed the man several
times. The man then got up and stag
gered to the door. Mr. Stevens went to
one of his neighbors for assistance, and
on his return the man was dead. The
deceased had on his person two revol-
vers, six watches, and about forty dol
lars in money. The Coroner held an
inquest, and the jury returned verdict
that the deceased. name unknown, came
to his death at the hands Of Andrew
Stevens, in seltdefense.

RObberieS.

A few dsysago the house OF Mr.. Hsr
ris, in the lower portion OF this county
was entered while the family were away
and robbed OF about forty dollars worth
OF clothing. No clue, as yet, 10 the
robbers. The same night, a little after
dark, two men entere the house Of Mr.
Duff, on Jessie's run. Mr.. D. had re.
tired, and Mrs. D. was justin the act OF
doing 20, when a rap was heard at the
door; upon invitation, two persons
walked in, and went directly up to the
bed where Mr. D. was lying, accosting
him with good evening, Mr.. Duff
don't you know me p and seizing Mr..
D., who was thrown off his guard by
their familiarity, demanded his money.
Mr.. Duff had S5l0in money and papers
of nearly as much more about his per-
son. which the robbers took possession
Of and escaped. They have not yet
been apprehended.
On Wednesday night, the store OF
Mr.. Michner, at Rockport, was entered
and twenty dollars in money stolen.

The first gift the Rev. Mr.. Swing has
received toward his new church is a
collection of old and rare coin and the
letter Of Abraham Lincoln to the Senate
and House, approving the act for the
release of certain persons held to service
of labor in the District of Columbia.
These are to be sold for the benefit OF
the new church. They were given by
one who gave his mite toward West,
minister Church long ago. These gifts
are to be sold and will probably bring
about $1,000.
The report that the Bricklayer 2 Union
ofthis city contemplate strike for
higher wages is not true. Wages are
now high, and it is no doubt true that
builders and others, in view OF the
heavy losses they have sustained, can
not pay any more than they are now
paying.
The Kimball palace car, built in San
Francisco, OF California wood, and con.
sidered the finest in use, was burnt in
the Rock Island depot. The Ogden or

plan. The railroads interested in the
matter will subscribe 100000 for that
purpose.
The Journal Jays Rev. Mr.. McConkell,
of Philadelphia, and formerly OF this
city, recently refused to allow his
church to take up a collection for suf-
fering Chicago, saying he knew Chicago
well and in his opinion the recent ca
lamity was a manifest indication Of the
Of Almighty God with the
of the city and he did not
propose to meddle with the affair.

CHICAGO.
The situation In the city.

CHICAGO, October 30.-lt is just three
weeks ago this day since the flames
which destroyed the better portion OF
our city were raging. This seems much
longer to the people of Chicago who
have been as busy as can be, and who
are buster today than ever. In these
eventful weeks the municipal council
and financial machinery of the city has
been restored, trade is resuming its
former activity, our merchants are re-
ceiving stocks of goods, many OF them
having already opened temporary stores
The grain, lumber and cattle trades
have never been more lively or exten-
siye, the banks are working easily and
regularly, and the debris OF the ruined
parts OF the city is being rapidly
cleared away and substantial new
buildings erected on the old sites. Not
less than two hundred brick structures
are now in progress Of erection in vari,
ous localities Of the burned district, and
some of them are already nearly finish
ed. If the prospects of the weather
should be anything like favorable In the
opening of next spring there will be
hundreds of rebuilt business struc'
lures finished and occupied: A num-
her of frame buildings are already con-
structed, or in course Of construction
| for temporary accommodation of mer'
chants in the section Of the lake shore
and MANY OF the ruined streets are
literally dotted with them. The scene
of energetic activity that presents itseli
to the spectator all over the desolated
north and south sides is in the highes'
degree inspiring and cheering to the
well-wisher of Chicagos future.

Another Collision on the Pittsburgh n
and COnneIIsyilIe Railroad.

to publish accidents on the Pittsburgh
and Connellsyille railroad. we cannot
help recording them when they trans

ment and attending consequences on
this road should be made public, not
with view to injure tra le or travel on
this, our railroad, bat with the hope
that public exposure may contribute
towards better management in future.
The latest accident is related as follows:
On Saturday morning last the express
train from Pittsburgh due here at A.
NJ, was delayed. and the conductor,
finding that he could not make Cumber-
land before the starting hour for the
express train to leave here, $40 A. NJ,
put man ahead Of his train to warn
the one approaching from the east,
whilst he attempted to make the siding
at Cookies Mills, q small station about
ten miles from Cumberland. Hav-
ing reached the east end o. the siding
he called in his flag man and the
train was being backed into the siding.
As the engine was passing over the
switch itjum ped the track on the frog,
and before a man could be again sent
forward to halt the train from Cumber-
land then due, it came laundering along
and ran into the disabled engine. For
tunately the speed had been slightly
checked, and the consequences were not
so serious as they might have been. as
no lives were lost, but several persons
were severely but not seriously hurt.
Both locomotives were damaged. One
OF them was fine new engine, making
its FIRST trip. Every car in the Cumoer-
land train was more o. less broken, the
baggage car having one end stove IN.
The broken cars and locomotives were
drawn back to this city and sent to the
shops for repsirs.-Cumb~land Daily
