VOICES IN THE AIR.

Oft in the pleasant talk of waking dreams,
1 hold communion with the woods ano
streams, ,
Speak to the garrulous trees when winds
blow high,
And hear res sponses 'twixt the earth and skyi
I ask old Ocean when he chafes and rolls
Whether he chides trejOlcea, or eunuoies'
And hear with sympathy deem divine
His awful voice make answer back 10 mine
Beside the boulder on the rocky shore
Forlorn old relic Of the days OF yore,
Ere earth was trod By foot Of human kind,
I hear the wandering whispers Of the wind
Voices like Memnon's in the olden day,
That breathed soft music 10 the morning ray
And spoke of mysteries 10 wondering men
Within their hope, but far beyond their Ken
And all the voices NIL the sounds and slghs.
The half formed questions and the mute
replies,
Breathe but bne mingled hymn, and psalm
Which day and night, and morn and eve pro-
long,
In waves Of music ripping low and clear,
IInheard but of the mind that seeks to hear
One psalm sublime. around, beneath, above,
Words Of a myriad meanings, GOD IS LOVE-
All The Year Round.

Sing me the song again
The wild, sad notes that breathe of haunting
pain.
The wild. sweet notes that thrill my heart
with bliss;
Quicl, throhbing now with passionate dis
dain,
Now falling soft as evening breeze's kiss
Sing me the song againl
Repeat the wondrous tunel
The full. broad glory of the perfect moon,
The pearly glimmer Of the clust'ring leaves,
The ghostly shadows Of the nights high
noon.
My listening soul pereeives
Repeat the wondrous tune!
Sing me the song again
For through the sudden changes OF the
strain
Failing like dewdrops from the flashing
keys,
Plerces the anguish of a soul In pain,
That knows not where is peace
Sing me the song again
Sing me the song forever
So shall Its passion and its pathos never
Leave the rapt ear but all the ling ring
night,
Infinite longing, infinite delight
Sing me the song forever

CHAPTER V.



which was ltbrated once In hundred
years. 1t was tho custom of Babylon to
declare sOlemuly, at this feast, those of
the citizens who had done the most gem
erOus actions. The great mobiles and the
mags were judges. The chief satrap, ,
charged with the care of the city, pro-
claimed In loud voice the noblest ac-
tiors which had been noted under his gov
rrnment. A vote was taken. and the king
pronounced the judgement The victor
received from the hands of the monarch
crown of gold garnishedI with precious
stones, and the king said these words;
Receive the prize Of generosity, and may
the gods give me many subject resembling
thee"
The memorable day arrived, ard the
king appeared in the midst Of his mobiles,
the magis, ard the deputies which various
kingdoms had sent to this sOlemnity. The |
chief satrap proclaimed aloud such actions /
might seem to merit the prize. OF those /
which were announced that day there .
were two between which the voices Of the (
Judges were divided.
The one was Of u judge who having pro |

JEFFERSON CORRESPONDENCE,


EDS. HERALD.-As Jefferson Tp., is not
represented suff1 GENTLY for so popular a
part of grand OLD Mahaska, thought
would try a line or so. Farming is little
dull just at present; wheat is about all
sown and coming up beautifully /; fall wheat
does not look well generally, but we hope
for the best There is some oats being
sown this week, yet, wet weather Is going
to maze oats pretty late. Easter Sunday
{ yesterday, by the way }, was cele.
brated in the usual way, fried eggs
for breakfast, boiled eggs forl dinner and
poached eggs for supper. want to say
right here that we had the best sermon
preached at the Center School House i'm.
aginable, by the Rev. T. r. Lester, of
White Oak TIP. His text was one of great
importance and he handled it with the
ability of q man that Mahaska may feel
proud of. After meeting the Rev. went
to old brother Boles and took dinner, and
then at 4 o'clock p. M, joined in the holy
bonds of matrimony, Mr. Christopher
Maddux and Miss Hannah Walker, both of
this TIP. at the residence of the bridegroom
may their lives be long and happy. School
commenced at Center yesterday, and was
to commence at Coal Creek, but for some
unknown cause the teacher did not arrive.
The school has been going on some time at
Union. Our sub-directors have used
considerable judgment in their selections
this year. Our teachers are ladies we'll
qualified to fill their position. Well dear

to the bottom of this sheet of paper would
have confidential chat about the Changers
with you, and see about Doc. Jackson's

DOES FARMING PAY?

EDS. HERALD ALLOW me to express
my thoughts through your paper on this
subject. 1t may be will treat it in diff
ferent manner from some, for intend to
speak only of certain class who call
themselves farmers, but deserve not the
name. Having lived on farm all my life
think know some little at least of the
business. I am well aware that there Is a
general complaint of farming not being a
paying business on account of the high
charges of transporting our grain; but
there is another thought that occurs to
me that is very important one; duty
farmers have to perform to make farming
pay, and that is attend we'll to our own
business and let other peoples business
alone. The class I speak of think they
must go to town once week at least and
spend the whole day, sitting astride of a
goods box, or apple barrel, or stand
ing at the street corners gazing at the pas
sers-py and often it is almost impossible
to pass and have seen ladies try to pass
and find it utterly impossible. Some men
are devoid of good sense, or even If they
have it, it is seldom manifest on such occa-
sions. When they pretend to farm, they
have way of blowing l call skimming,
and cut and cover. These are few reas-
ons their farming does not pay. l will
say to this class of farmers, if you wish it
to pay, when you 60 to town, do your bust
ness for few weeks, and when it is done
turn your faces and your mind toward
your farm but if you must lounge about
town, do not be caught in the groups re-
ferred to; and when blowing adopt this
motto: "Plow deep while sluggards sleep
and you will have corn to sell and keep"
And I'll venture to say, it will pay.
