why YIs 1T soy


Some nnd work whore some find rest,
And so The weary world goes on
] sometimes wonder which is best
The answer comes when life Is gone.
Some eyes sleep when some eyes wake,
And so the dreary night-hours 90.
Some hearts beat where some hearta break.
! often wonder why Ills so.
Some Wills faint where some wills fight
Some love the teut and some the field
! often wonder who are right
The ones who strive, or those who yield.
Some hands fold where other hsuds
Are lifted bravely ia the strife
And 80 thro' ages and thro' lands,
Move on the two extremes OF life.
Some feet halt where some feet tread,
In tireless MARCH, q thorny way
Some struggle on where some have fed;
Some seek when others shun the fray.
Some swords rust while Others clash,
Some fall back where some move on,
Some flags furl where others fash
Until the battle has been won.
Some sleep on while others keep
The vigils OF the true and brave,
They will not rest till roses creep
Around their name, above a grave.

What did he go for there
Money to make and fails to shake,
And with hay-seed GIL his hair.
The railroad went To the west,
What did it 20 for there
Money to make for its own sweet sake,
And TO strip the settler bare.
Both went ont TO the west,
Aud what they arc doing th ere

That both may vanish 10 the air.

Was somehow hitched to him.

Burglary. - On Monday H'ght the
nry Goods Sore of Judge Cook was tn
tered by burglars, and between two and
three hundred dollars worth OF goods
carried away. The store was entered by
boring and removing the tastenings to
the celler door, the thieves passing
through this entrance into tine celler and
from thence into the store.
On opening the store the next morn
ing dry goods were strewn promiseously
over the counters and d Dor, showing that
the thieves had evidently taken time to
make selection of the best articles. 1t Is
not known what amount was taken, but a
rough estimate places II at over $500.
TIE articles missing are principally
clothing, dress goods, handkerchiefs and
| Jewelry.
1t Is supposed that there were two en-
gagged In the burglary, as two carpet
sacks were taken, and two strange men
were seen in town the evening previous
one of them buying matches at Mr.. WAL
TER's grocery and the other buying a
candle at Mr.. BoETseH's. One OF them
exch anged his clothing in the store, leav-
ing a pair of light pants and vest, both
showing some wear. The pants were
recognized by several, as those seen on
one OF the strangers the previous evening,
