III had known in the morning
How YEARLY all the day
The words unliind
Would trouble my mind
said when you'wcnt away,
had been more careful, darling,
Nor given you needless pain;
But we VeN "our own"
With look and tone,
We might never take back again.
For though in the quiet evening
You may give me the kiss of peace,
Yet IL might be
That never for me
The pain oftlle heart should cease.
= How many go forth in the morning
That never come home at night"
And hearts have broken,
For harsh words spoken,
That sorrow can ne'er SET right.

And smiles for the sometimes guest,
But oft for sour own"

Though we love "our own" the best.

OBiTUARY
Died at his residence in Oregon. Ogle
county, Illinois, October 18th, 1873,
JOHN c. ORDER, son of John and
Eliza Crider, deceased, of Jefferson co.,
w. Va, aged % years, 5 months and
Is days.
Stand aside boys, here's the train,
At lightning speed it dashes along;
John Orders aboard, and his heart is
Of the wondrous rhythm of loves sweet
song.
No plumed cap binds his waving curls,
No jewcled steel hangs by his side,
But his heart beats high with love
sublime
For his dainty child and his pure young
bride.
Look at him now, boys see that smile,
Lighting up lips, and cheek, and brow,
He's a matchless picture of athletic
grace,
As he thinks of his wife and baby now.
Never the one to shrink was he,
He was always ready at duties call,
With kindly smile on his ruddy lips,
And kindly word for all.
Such was he ere that fatal day,
When leaping he missed the mark and
fell
To be crushed with the rail cars iron
wheel.
Friends, my story is hard to tell.
They carried him home TO his wife and
child,
And then they told him that he must
Must soon meath the heaped up mound
be laid
With the sobbing winds for his lullaby.
But death had no terroIs to shake his
faith,
He rose sublime Ger the awful grave,
He could tread that path with his risen
Lord,
And his Lord from death would save.
Bleeding ard crushed and torn he lay,
His brave heart true to child and wife,
To them he had given his hearts best
love.
For then he slept as the blessed sleep,
AS sleeps his mother and sire,
! Until the morn when Christ shall say,
Ye blessed, come up higher.

Re- CIRCUIT CoURT OF JEFFERSON
JUDGE ALLEN.-Judge Allen, who had
been holding Court for Judge Hoge,
during q session of some FIVE or SIX
weeks, closed on Monday evening last,
after disposing of a great deal of busl-
ness. We endorse a contemporary III
stating that Judge Allen is model OF
judicial labor, ana carefully examines
and promptly disposes of all cases that
are submitted to him by the lawyers.
His decisions are generally acquiesced
in as sound, and very few exceptions
have been taken to his rulings. He is
alike courteous to all, whether on or off
the bench, and the charming simplicity,
purity. and integrity of his character,
have made him decided fayorite with
the bar and people of Jefferson.
The attention of the Court, for the
greater part of last week, was engaged
in the trial of the case of the Shen. '.
r. II. Co. VS.. &. Il. Butler. Action for
assessment of damages for passage OF
railroad through his land. The jury, on
Saturday, found a verdict for the Deten-
dant. and assessed the damages at So
900, as follows On the upper or Hen
bricks farm, 81 ,32050; on the eighty
acres owned by Butler Individually III
the lower or home farm, $40; on the
25O acres owned by Butler and wife
Jointly in the home farm, s3.239.5O.
Travers for plaintiff, Faulkner and Bay
lor & Wilson for defendant.
Judge Allen is now holding Court IN
Berkeley, which commenced on Tues
day last, in place of Judge Hoge, who
is personally interested in many cases
i'm that county.

bDn County JAZZ CoNpEMNEn,-We
understand that committee was ap-
pointed at tie late session of our Cir
cult Court, consisting Of Messrs. George
n. Lynch, Robt. w. Baylor, and DR.,
Mason, to examine the new County jail,
recently erected in Charlestown, and
reported the building condemned.
We have not heard in what particular
it was condemned, but if such be the
case, and the Jail being insecure, after
a cost of twenty five or thirty thousand
dollars, of bard-earned money Of our
citizens, it is pretty rough upon the tax
payers of Jefferson county. The fault
does not lie with the contractor in bull
ding the same, but with the committee
who had the building in charge. 1t
conclusively shows that they were IN
sufficient for the task, that they lacked
the proper Judgment in erecting the
building. 1t is one of the largest and
handsomest buildings in the County,
and so far is an ornament to Charles
town, but if it is not secure the large
