Written for the TRIBUNE
OUT OF THE OLD HOUSE.

Out ofthe old house. friends moved up into tie new
All the hurry aud worry is just as good al through
Only bourden duty remains, for mother dear and I.
And that's to stand on the doorstep here and bid
the old house good bye.
Yes, we are going to leave the old and
tried friend for the new; but in thi-
instance. we are sure of not offending
any old and long-trled affection.
The old house! what hallowed assooia-
tons cling around the old stone hearth :;
every nook and creyice, is enGeared by
neverto-be forgotten incidents. How
memory carries US back to the time Of
arrival, fresh from city home. all vas
new. The log cabin with It's cedar bark
roof that in time after rose to the dignity
OF shingles; then the fre-placs rough
as Impractical hands could make it, but
what pen can depict the changing scenes
that have passed before its ever cheerful
glow. The happy smiling faces Of child
hood, and the peaceful countenance of
elder life have made light of toll and
hardships around its cheerful blaze
Here it was that the fairest OF the hap
py circle faded and passed onward in
answer to the Fathers call-"come up
higher" And here on this spot, sacred
to the tenderest feelings Of mother,
when time was passing peacefully on,
came the call for the eldest born to go
forth to do battle for his home tonderly
and faithfully was he seut forth and
here by the old stone hearth, the mother
sat at even-tide. The youngest standing
by her knee, would ask for the soldier
song, and while tear dimmed the sweet
blue eye, the mother would sing Of her
soldier.boy, And what tender memories
Of happy returns how tl&y seem to
linger round the old walls, but We lay
them away in the heart; as beautiful
blossoms that will never fade, and whose
fragrance to US will grow sweeter with
advancing time and over all is the
crowning tenderness OF a mothers love
anu CEGGIl uli!SSS 10 make the new nome
more endealing still
Fare you well, old house you're naught that can
feel or see,
But you like human being-a dear old friend
to me;
And will never have a better home however hard
try,
Until commence the Higher Life, in the true
sweet bye and bye. HALE.

Notice to Electors.
Ii. BREEsE, Secretary of State.

We have been informed that a report
has been spread through the county that
Mr.. Even has resigned and refuses to run
for the Office of County Treasurer We
need hardly say that such is not the case,
and We regard this falsehood as an under
handed Democratic trick for his defeat,
but we trust that all who have the welfare
and safety of this county at heart will
make special effort for the election of
Mr.. Even. Knowing as we all do, the
ability of Mr.. Even as an officer, we
would earnestly urge our Republican
friends to do their utmost duty at the
polls on the 9th day of December next,
to secure tie election Of a man who can
discharge the duties Of the Office of
County Treasurer to the satisfaction of
all concerned
Republicans, do not allow lukewarm
voter to stay away from the polls on the
9th day of December; see to it that all
are out, and vote and work for the sue
cess Of Querin Even.

SUDDEN DEATH.-The eldest son of
Edward lander, aged years, was sudden
ly taken sick with inflammation of the
throat and died within f9w hours after
the first symptoms Of the disease were
discovered. His funeral last Sunday
afternoon was attended by all the mem
bers of the Turner Society and by many
friends of the bereaved family.
Little Edward was bright happy boy,
a dutiful son, loving brother and friend
and a regular attendant at the public and
Presbyterian Sunday School; his sudden
demise is deeply incurred by all who
knew him. May his disconsolate parents
and all the bereaved find consolation in
the hopes of happy meeting beyond this
vale Of tears where no trouble, no sepa
ration shall ever disturb the joys of
happy eternity.
