We have received the following
beautiful lines from a young lady,
with the equest to publish in the
INDEPENDENT. We cheerfully
comply with the request, and think
hem well worthy of publication
If this were ALL Oh if this were all :;
That into each life some rain must fall;
There were fainter sobs in the poet S
rhyme,
There were fewer wrecks on the shores
of time.
But temp ests of woe pass O er the soul
Since winds of anguish we cannot con-
troll;
And shock after shock we are called to
bear.
Till the lips are white with the HEARTS
DESPAIR.
The shores of time with wrecks are
strewn,
Unto the ear comes ever a moan
Wrecks ofhopes-that set sail with glee
Wrecks of love-sinking silently.
Many are hid from the human eye,
Only God knoweth how deep they lie ;
Only God heard when arose the prayer,
Help me to. bear-oh help me to
bear r
Into each life some rain must fall,
Ifthis were all, oh ifthis were all,

Maysville, Ky. Such gems Of pc
etry are not often met with, writ
ten by authors whose names are
never known to history
Is there DO place on the face Of the earth
Where charity dwelletb, where virtue
has birth?
Where bosoms in mercy and kindness
will heave
And the poor and the wretched shall
ask and receive?
Is there no place on earth where knock
from the poor
Will bring kind angel 10 open the
door?
All search the world over wherever you
There is no open door to the moneylcss
Go look in the hall where the chandelier
light
Drives off with its splcndor the dark
ness of night;
Where the rich hanging velvet, In shad-
owy fold,
Sweeps gracefully down with its trim
mings Of gold,
And the mirrors Of silver take up and
renew
In long lighted vistas the 'widering
view;
Go there in your patches and find if you
can,
Who opens the door to the penniless
man
Go look in yon church of the cloud
reaching spire,
Which gives back to the sun his same
look Of red fire:
Where the arches and columns are gor--
geous within,
And the walls seem as pure as soul
without sin;
Go down the long aisle, see the rich and
the great,
In the pomp and the pride Of their
worldly estate;
Walk down in your patches and find if
you can
Who opens the door to the moneyless
man.
Go look to your judge in dark flowing
gown,
With the scales wherein law weighetb
equity down;
Where he frowns on the weak and
smiles onthe strong
And Furnishes right where he justifes
wrong;
Where Jurors their lips on the Bible
have laid,
To render a verdict they've already
made;
Go there in the court room, and find if
you can,
Any law for the cause of the moneyless
man.
Go look in the banks where Mammon
has told
His hund reds and thousands of silver
and gold;
Where safe from the hands of the starv-
ing and poor,
Lies pile upon pile of the glittering ore
Walk up to the counter-ah, there you
may stay
Till your limbs grow old and your hairs
grow gray
And you'll find at the ank not one OF
the clan
With money to lend to the moneyless
man.
Then go to your hovel--no raven has
fed
The vile who has suffered so long for
her bread
Kneel down by her pallet and kiss the
death frost
From the lips of the angel your poverty
lost
Then turn in your agony upward to Goo
And bless while it smites you with the
Christening rod,
And you'll find at the end of your life's
little span
There's WELCOME ABOVE for the pen
niless man.

SKELETON FOUND.
The Disappearance Of Jacob Gels Of
Stearus County Accounted For.
(St Cloud Journal, Sept. 10y

(St Cloud Journal, Sept. 10Y
Last Monday morning IS small boy
named Gels was hunting his COW in the
woods about three miles from the VII
laee Of St. Jo, he came upon the skele-
ton OF a man. He at once informed his
father, who came for Coroner Overlook.
The Coroner and County Attorney
Brick went at once and held an inquest.
The skeleton was feshless, save on the
feet which we're protected by shoes.
But the clothing was recognized as that
of Jacob Gels, who had been ct work
on the farm Of Peter Kramer, near by,
and who had suddenly disappeared July
2sth. The readers Of the Journal may
remember the account given last winter
of hostler at Cold Spring.

head BY : horse. receiving 2
terrible wound from which part Of the
brains escaped. The cut on the skull
assisted DR.. Macdonald, the surgeon
then in attendance on Gels, in identity
ing these remains. Since receiving that
injury, Gels has been partially der.
anged at times. often expressing fears
that somebody intended killing him
The search for him after his disappear
ance, July 25th, was unavailing. and
he probably persisted in the woods

TO SUBSCRIBERS.

Very many Of our subscribers have
taken the ANTI. MoNoroL1sr with an un-
Outstanding that they wore to pay up
on the LIST of September. We would
respectfully remind them of the fact
and ask that they send in their money
before the issue Of our next number.
We. would also ask such of our
agents as have raised clubs, pay able on
the LIST Of September, to be good enough
to remit as soon as possible.
We would suggest that all moneys sent
us, be forwarded by postal order. draft,
check or by registered letters. e+
Our subscription list is increasing Sc
rapidly that we have been compelled to
resort to the patent process of printing
the names of our subscribers. The
figures after each subscribers name or
the margin of his paper, indicate thu
time to which he has paid:-thus, "JohI
Jones. Oct. Is, 1874" signifies tina
John has paid up to that date. If n.
date is given, it indicates that John i
in arrears, and he should hurry to pa,
up; for we have high authority for tn
declaration, that
."lelinquents ON the printers books,
Will never enter heaven" @s&s
1t is very probable that mistake
have been made. If so, we want GU
friends to write us and we will correc
them. Our agents who have raise
clubs, are requested to indicate to whoI
they will have their presentation COP

We again beg leave to express GU
thanks for the unprecedented succe:
which the generosity of the people hs

ces were made simply to supply eppor-
tunities for dangerous and unscruPu-
lous men.to WELD the rod Of oppression

A Temperance 'Reformcr mt Work
flor King. A@

Editor Of the Aa.i- Monopolist:
The Wright county fair will be held
at this place on the 23d, 24thsxnd 25th
Of September
The farmers:and others are making
for big time; with a
trotting and race course and all the
fixings for a modern Fair. Asst is the
heart of the Big Woods, look cat for a
big show of vegetables, cereals and
fruits. 7s4
The hum Of the threshirg machine
is heard in every direction; but the
Weld of wheat is not quite up to last
year and the prices being somewhat
lower, the agricultnralist does not con.
template with unlimited satisfaction the
products of his broad acres. If it was
not for Bill King circulating Though
the country and anddistributing green
backs, times would look rather dark.
In many instances in this vicinity his
contributions will make up for loans
through short crops and low prices.
But his favors are not, in all cases, dis
tributed equally. For instance, he
gives hard-shelled, sober, well-teSdo
Democrat fifty dollars, when in the
same neighborhood he gives q blatant
Republican only twenty-five dollars
But we suppose that this has some
thing to do with the Opposition District
Convention. The Republican Conven-
ton is safe, but the Opposition is not
quite sure yet, although Bill has got 3
xarranty deed of Colonel
Stevens and also Of the Farmer 8
Uuion, and most of the prominent
Democrats of Minneapolis. We think
it will cost him more money than he
made in his whisky speculation to
get q bond for deed of the Anti-Mon.
opoly party of the Third District.
But the King men have all suddenly
turned reformers,(yes, temperance
men. The Rev. W. w. Saterlee, who
pretends to carry all the temperance
work on his back in Minnesota; who
devotcs his time and talents, money
and means, bone and muscle, to the
