The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1872-05-31


A DREADFUL DAY-The sun, on
Wednesday, sank to rect in a rosy bed
and the weather-seers predicted q
stormy day, but the sun on Thursday
brushed back the mists of the morn
ing and smiled upon the world as SER
enely as though there could be no "hor-
ror OF black darkness" or trouble, OF
sadness, or madness in all the earth,
But in many homes were wives bnd
children waiting in anxious suspense
for loved husbands and sons who came
not, who went out from their happy
domicils in their pride of strength and
flush of health to drive up their tardy
COWS from the fiower-spangled, dew
frightened slopes Of the prairies. The
fires died out in the kitchen stoves, the
noisy kettles settled into an oppressive
stiffness, and the yiands, on the tables
spread, were as cool as the fresh breeze
ofthe morning, but the footballs of
the absent ones broke not the suspense.
From many dreary face, hand-shaded
eyes explored the distant eastern hills,
and weary feet bore them from door to
door, and window to window, but no
sight gladdened them. No sound fell
upon the quick ears OF the watchers to
comfort the sad hearts 10 their bosoms.
"What can be the matter ?" was the
question. Alas! alas
for the fond hopes in men, and the
dead fears of this life .-the missing
pater familias fingered at the new city
pound to pay the Marshal flfty cents
each and to ''blessr the City Council
for impOunding their "critters."
