THE sOHOoLMAsTER's DREAM
BY R. R. H.

Twas evening, and the teacher leaned
His weary head upon bis trembling
hand,
lie fell asleep, and sleeping, dreamed
He stood within the border of the
spirit land.
Around him stood his scholars, girls aii
boys,
Wh, m he had taught in days long
past.
They sang Of earth, of heaven and heav-
emily joys.
And round the teacher beautous gar
lands cast.
And then glorious, shining being
came,
Bearing crown Nth many glittering
stars,
And calling the trembling teachers
name,
He babe him rest from all lite's tolls
and pain.
Then placing the crown upon his brow
He gave to him harp of shining gold.
There are thy jewels be said, 50, see
them now,
All gathered safe to the Savior's 'oid.
sand thou, 0 mortal, shall be doubly
blessed
In this Earth S ransomed saints abode
Here thou shalt ever sweetly rest,
This harp aud crown receive as thy
reward"
For thou vert faithful with the favored
few,
Thy master gave the these, in that
green land,
And now, because thou vast so good and
true,
Thou shalt be ruler over the heavenly
band"
Then the poor teacher woke only to lind
Twas all dream and life seemed Just
as hard,
Bat our thoughts ara fixed ia his own
mird;
Only in heaven the teacher gets his
full reward.

In the criminal court yesterday the
case Of Stephen Dillecella, the deputy.
sheriff charged with tampering with the
jury in the Mclean embezzlement case
and that of Louis Moore, one Of the ju
rors in said case, charged with conterapt
in violating the instructions Of hecourt,
and Of endeavoring to illegally influence
n verdict for the defendant, was argued
before Judge Flippin. Upon conclusion
of the argument the eourtunhesitatingly
announced its conviction Of the guilt OF
the parties, and at once pronounced
judgment, sentencing Louis Moore to
pay a fine Of fifty dollars and be impris-
Oned ten days in the county jail, and
Stephen Dillecello to like fine and inn
prisonment, and, in addition, to give
approved bond in three thousand dollars
to appear at the next term of the court
TO answer the charge Of bribery Of jurors.
This is the first bOmbsheIl cast into the
camp OF the corruptiOnists, to be followed
when the grand jury meets, on the third
Monday in this month, by such broad
side Of indictments as will startle our
community into The gratifying be-
lief that henceforth trial by jury
in the criminal court, especially
in important cases, where large sums Of
money are involved, will not be . solemn
fsrce-a trial by jury empsnnelled to
acquit. We say 10 Judge Flippin and
the atto,ney-genersl, that in purging
the criminal court Of deleterious In
flueuces they will be sustained by the
solemn Endorsement of this whole COM
munity. 1t is nearly time that jury
trials, especially in cases of great mag
nitude to the people should be what the
law intended-animpartial medium of
justice between man and man. The en-
forcement Of the law can not damage
the honest citizen; ali others must take
the consequence of its violations.
