REGRETS.

If VIC had but known, if we had but known,
Those summer days together,
That one would stand next year alone,
In the blazing July weather
Why, we trifed away the golden hours,
With gladness, and beauty, and calm,
Watching the glory of blossoming flowers,
Breathing the warm airs balm;
Seeing the children like sunbeams play,
In the glades of the long, cool wood;
Hearing the wild birds carol gay,
And the song of the murmuring flood.
Rich gems to Times pitiless river thrown,
If we had but known, if we had but knownl
If we had but known, if we had but known,
Those winter nights together,
How one would sit by the hearth alone,
In the next December weather;
Why, we sped those last hours, each for each,
With music, and games, and talk,
The careless, bright, delicious speech,
With no doubt or fear to balk.
Touching on all things, grave and gay,
With the freedom of two in one,
Yet leaving, as happy people may,
SO much unsaid, undone,
Ah, priceless hours forever flown,
If we had but known, if we had but known
If we had but known, if we had but known,
While yet we stood together,
How thoughtless look, a sighting tone,
Would sting and jar forever!
Cold lies the turf for the burning kiss,
The cross stands deaf to cries.
Dull, as the wall of silence is,
Are the gray, unanswering skies!
We can never unsay thing we said,
While the weary life drags past,
We never can staunch the wound we bled,
Where chance stroke struck it last
Oh, the patient love meath the heavy stone,
If we had but known, if we had but known!
If we had but known, if we had hut known!
We had climbed the hill together;
The path before us seemed all our own,
And the glorious Autumn weather.
We had sown; the harvest was there to reap
We had worked 10 the wages ready,
Who was to guess that the last long sleep
Was closing round one already.
With never a warning, sharp and strong,
Came the bitter wrench of doom,
And love, and sorrow, and yearning, long
May wall by the lonely tomb.
Oh, keenest of pangs mid the mourner's
moan,
If we had but known, if we had but known!

A GOOD SUGGESTION:

A few months ago we published full
account of the manner of conducting
what is known as stock Sales" at Lon
don, Madison county, Ohio, and COM
mended it to the attention of our people,
at the same time expressing our belief
that something of the kind would not
only be good thing here, but could be
made TO pay.
The question of establishing what is
called a "Market Day." is being agitated
by some of our citizens, one of them in
particular being active in the matter
This Market Day might be made a good
thing for the people of the city and
country. In u little while, if properly
conducted, they could be the occasion
for general assembly, from all parts
of the. country, of all the people who
had any article for sale, and all who
wished to make purchases. They
should be held once or twice a month
For instance, a new conner wanted to
buy a team. Those who had teams to
sell would bring them in on Market
Day. He would come there to buy and
would always find something to suit
him. Persons who wanted to hire to dc
farm labor, or anything of that sort
could meet, on these occasions, those
who wehted to hire help of that kind
Those who wanted to sell cattle would
readily find purchasers at these sales
Stock raisers would meet and discus:
the good points of different animals, and
spirit of generous rivalry would be
instituted for the imprOvementof stock.
Each stock raiser would want to brin 9
the finest animals for sale and exhibit
ton. Men living in remote neighbor-
hoods would be brought together
to buy and sell, to hire or be hired
to discucss the merits of different
breeds of stock, to see each other
and exchange neighborly fellowship
and the Market Day could be made one
of interest and profit. We throw out
this article as suggestion. We should
like to have our farmers, stock raisers,
and all others, who wish to do so, to
write US what they think of the matter,
and make such suggestions as they may
see fit. Meantime let us agitate the
sIiliect

A FRIGHTFUL HIsToRY.-The juno
ton City Union, of the 22d, contains an
account of q murder which occurred
on Clark's creek, in Davis coVptys Kan
sas. which, it says, ''adds to the already
dark and bloody history of-that portion
of the county" In this affair a man
named John S. Evans was found dead
in a house on the jackson farm, with
two large holes in his head and cash
on his face. A young man who lived
with him, named Mansel Cuppy, has
been arrested for the deed, and bound
over TO the district court. The two men
come from Brownsville, Nebraska, and
had only been on Clark's creek two
weeks.
In winding up its notice or this case,
the' UaiGn gives the following record OF
crimes that have been committed from
time 10 time on Clark's creek:
SThat portion of country has a fright
FIJI history When Whiskey Point was
ia existence two men were murdered,
and the house burned. Then shortly
afterwards a man named kittlehouse
committed suicide, Next was the kill
ing of Hands, on Humboldt, by Wing
field. Then we were entertained with
the Kramer scrape, when he attempted
10 kin his brother. and then committed
suicide. Next Micky Moore killed his
wife, and then shot himself. Then came
the murder of Thomas Reynolds. Then
the killing of Charles Potenburg, by a
supposed crazy man, followed by the
accidental. shooting OF boy by broth
err, i'm the same neighborhood. The next
month John -Sanderson was killed.
And this last affair makes the twelfth
victim thar we know of. We hope this
NAV be the last, and may that beautiful

COOP ADvIcE.-A New Orleans pa
per tells the story of a printer, who,
when his fellow workmen went out to
drink beer, during the working hours,
put in the bank the exact amount which
he would have spent if he had gone out
to drink. He kept TO this resolution
for five years: He then examined his
bank account, and found that he had on
deposit S52l.S6. In five years he had
not lost day from i'll health. Three
out of five of his fellOw-workmen had,
in the meantime, become drunkards,
were worthless as workmen, and were
discharged. The water-drinker then
bought out the printing Office, went on
charging his business, and in twenty
years from the time he began to put by
his money was worth 100000. The
story, whether new or old, teaches a
lesson which every young mechanic
should lay to heart.

The New York Herald has an article
showing that the Democratic leaders
are already throwing away the posi-
biIity of their success in 1872, by the
exhibition--the moment they have a
success on the skirmish line-of the
cloven hoof of rebellion. The Herald
says tersely and truly:
'EAs long as the Democratic party
directly, or Indirectly, undertakes to
fight upon the issue of 1864, that 1.-THE
war is n failure" or upon the issue OF
1868, that the reconstruction acts OF
Congress, and the concurrent amend
ments of the Constitution, are ''uncon-
stituuonal, involuntary, null and void,
so long will this party be soundly
thrashed for its insolence and its stu
pidity,"
