II, OUR SOULS ARE TRUE.
Bri,axEs rErrrsREw, JR.

d
Oh, the miles lie wide between You nd me,
And the clouds are dropping snow,
And the winter wind In an angry gfee,
Drifts the snow-dakes to and fro; 3D..
But the biting cold and the winter storm,
And the drifting clouds above, IL.
IL our souls are true and our hearts are warm
Have no power TO chill our love. --..4
On, the world may frown like the winter sky
And the life blasts wildly blow,
And with bleeding feetperhaps yon and 7
May yet tread the cold, white snow,
But although some hope shall be made q grave
And by US ere life be past,
If our souls are true and our hearts are brave
We will reach the goal at last
Some malicious ones may send barbed darts
From their fortress, rs we 20,
And may wiring 4 tide from our aching hearts
That will stain the pure white snow;
But although 1t seems we cannot endure
All the pain, the woe, the chill,
II our souls are true and aims are pure,
They can never wound TO kill.
There's a brighter life, and for us thank God!
: IL we find it not below, '-
When these forms are living beneath the sod
And the drifting winter snow;
We will find it where all his children do
And that Heaven is very near r't
If our aims are pure, and our hearts are true,
While upon our journey here.

A TRAIN ROBBED.
Railroad Track in Iowa OBJ
structed by Robbers--Pass-
enger Train Thrown Off,
Robbers Secure the Booty
and Escape on Horseback.


| CHICAGO, July Y, 1873.
An evening Journal special from Des
Moines to-day gives the following ac-
count OF the attack on a train on the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Rail
road, las. night, from Superintendent
Royce who was on the Train. The train
left Council Bluffs at five o'clock with
four coaches and two sleepers, the rear
sleeper being filed with company of
aristocratie Chinese, on their way to
New England Colleges. There were
two baggage express cars, in which was
the through California mail and express
matter, consisting in short of near
$4,000 in the express safe and three tons
of bullion. When about sixty-fve
miles west of this city about 80. at a
sharp curve in the road and an isolated
spot, with no house within several
miles in any direction, the train moving
about twenty-five miles an hour, the
engineer, John Rafferty,, suddenly saw
one rail move from its place about six
ty feet ahead of the engine. He in
stantly reversed his engine and applied
the air brake and while in the act of
doing SO bullets came pelting into the
engine like hail. The locomotive ran
into the bank and turned over, throw
ing out the engineer, John Rafferty,,
and the fireman, the former falling on
the latter dead. 1t is supposed he was
killed by the concussion as no bullet
wounds are found ON his body. The |
fireman escaped unhurt. The train be-
ing very heavy ran about one hundred
feet and stopped, the engine ran up in
TO the bank and turned-over and two
baggage cars doubled up and were bad
ly smashed. As soon as the train |
stopped six large athletic men masked
in full Ku Klux style appeared at the
Express car in which were the conduc- |
tor, William Smith, Superintendent !
Royce, the Express Messenger, John
Burgess, and three or four persons and
firing rapidly into the car,
yelling sget out of there, damn ye, get

and one side of the head of the express
The inmates jumped out,
when they were ordered to the rear
under cover of half a dozen navy re-
volvers. Two of the robbers marched
up and down the track threatening to
shoot any person who showed their
head on the train, saying, "Get down
put of sight; damn ye, or We will shoot
you. The robbers then took about two
dollars from the express safe
tut open the mail sacks, but took no
etters, and mounted each horse and
rode of across the prairie in souther-

less than ten minutes. They fortunate

Cold Water.

1910. 't.N.I
TO withhold water from children in
times of illness is downright cruelty.
It is doubtful il there is disease in
which the patient should not have cold
water. Oh, how babies often suffer for
cold water. A nursing baby is given,
no matter how thirsty, nothing but
milk. The little lips are dry and crack
ed, and the little tongue so parched it
con scarcely nurse, and yet it has moth
ing but milk to assuage Its craving
thirst. Try it yourself, mother, when
you have a fever, and we are sure that
ever after, when your darling is dying
with thirst, the teaspoon and tumbler OF
cold water will be in constant use. Deny
1t milk and give it plenty of cold water,
and 1t has a chance of a speedy recov-
cry.

NOT ON THE BILLS,
Mr.. sarnum and ths chndrsn.
lie Makes Up a Menagefie
from his Collection and Gives
a Private Matinee to a Little
Invalid. =

Mr.. P, T. Barnum's s ambition to give
the public better show than any one
else can for the same money, is well
known, though very few are aware of
the great pleasure he has in pro-
viding amusement for little children.
An incident happening in our city yes
terday illustrated this characteristic
very strikingly. There is "a little i've
year old invalid up town who has be-.
come quite a favorite with the great
Snowman who never fails 10 visit him
in passing through Cleveland. Yester-
day morning the little fellow heard the
door bell ring, and his face lit up with
joy as Mr.. Barnum entered the sick
room. The usual pleasant greetings
ensued, and the great manager threw
his soul INTO the work of entertaining
the. child as completely as when sur.
rounded by thousands he talks In his
great show. The child was delighted,
but the shadow which is always as near
joy as the thorn is 30 the rose, stole over
the little "Trot's7 face, on refiectingI
that he could not see the menagerie.
"Neyer mind" said Mr.. Barnum, .'if|
you cannot 60 to the show, We must
bring the show to you." So saying, he
departed, and half hour later the child
and the. whole family were astonished
to see a drove Of elephants, camels and
dromedaries marched into the yard and
come to halt near the child g window.
The little one was held up where he
could see the animals, and their keeper
made them go through regular per-
formanee. "Trot" gave his order to the |
elephants, and by sign from
the keeper they were all obeyed. In
half an hour the matinee terminated,
and the detachment of the procession |
back to the show-grounds,
leaving the child wild with delight. Mr..
Barnum's love for the little ones has
been frequently shown by the gener-
ous invitations he everywhere extends
10 orphans to attend his exhibitions free
Of charge, but this effort to please lit
lie child isa unique illustration of that
Observation-Disclosures Leader. /

CONE Usro ME-.

With fearful ewes I look around,
Life seems dark xnd stormy sea.
Yet, midst the gloom hear q sound.
A heavenly whisper, Some to Me-"
1t tells me of place OF rest
II tells me where my soul may fee, 4
oh TO the weary, faint opprest,
How sweet the bidding Come to Me-
When the poor heart with anguish learns,
That earthly props resigned must be,
and from each broken cistern turns, o.
II hears the accents, Come to Me"
When against sin strive in vain.
And cannot from its yoke get free,
sinking beneath the heaEy chain,
The words arrest me, Come to Me-
When nature shudders, loath TO part
Prom all i love, enjoy. and see;
When fzint chill steals ore my heart.
A sweet voice utten, '-Ceme to Me-"
Come, for all else must fade and die;
Earth is no resting-plsce for thee;
Heavenward direct thy weeping eye

Oh, voice OF mercyl voice Of love.

groom wasn't of the broken-hearted
kind. Returned to the assembled Ia

Reunited After Many Years.


A bit OF romance, Vermont paper
says, crops out at Shaftsbury, that
State, in the marriage Of Nathaniel
Olin, an old man of seventy years, to
woman who, years ago, had been the
bride of his youth, bnt from whom he
had been divorced. During this long
interval Olin has lived in Ohio, and
had two other wives, by one of whom
he had large family of children. But
the first wife seems to have cherished a
tender feeling toward him through all
these long years, remained single and
loyal; and on a visit of olin to his
old home, last week, the two met,
and the old flame revived, and the hap
py panacea of marriage was the satis-
factory endowment, %
