Sister, death is o'crmc stealing
Earth is fading frommy sight;
Angels DER my bed arc bending,
Clad in robes of shining light.
Sister am parting from thee,
Leaving all lifcs toll and paiu;
Now l leave thee, sister dearest,
But thou'lt yet be mine again.
Yes, in yonacr world of glory,
Where the heart no grief can feel,
Where no sin shall mar our spirits,
Sister, we shall love there still.

Far beyond deaths foaming ocean,
Lo, lSscc the eternal shore.
Give to him my dying message;
Give TO him my last farewell,

Will be free from doubt and care;
Spoc Ill reach the courts of heaven:
Tell him he must meet ME there.

eions, over S251 ,C00,O00 Deiucting So 900,

The CIairyOyant Vision of a
Country Editor.

The last package had been sent of
by mail The weary editor nodded
on his hard chair by q feeble fire.
lie had worked with unusual dill
gence upon that issue of his paper
and he had some hopes that it would
please. In his exhausted condition,
his nerves unstrung, lie was peculi-
arlY susceptible to mesmeric infu-
cnces and fell easily into a clairvoy-
ant state in which he could see all
his subscribers and hear all they had
to say about the paper, which had
cost him somuch labor. Here is what
he heard. We premise that the pa
per was called the Commercial, and
the name Of the editor was Ryan. -
LAwYER.-Not q word about the
Supreme Court decisions, and / have
been looking out for the case of
Smith VS.. Jones. l told that stupid
Ryan that I would stop the paper if
81 filed it up with farm articles and
- nothing in it for professional
gentlemen.
FARMER.-I must take an agricul-
tural paper and quit the Commercial.
Ryan ought to know that nobody
wants to read this stuff about the
Legislature, the courts and laws.
YOUNG LADY.-W What q poor tale
this woel1I Not a word about love
or1marriago in it. I'll ask Pa to send
on for BOnner8 Ledger or the LadyS
Book. The Commercial has no senti-
menb in it, and / dote on sentiment.
OLD LADY, heard that Mr.. Ry-
ansWas a christian man and his pa
per is filled with trashy tales about
love. which turn the heads of girls
and make them worse fools than
ever.
PLAIN CrTrzEN.-A poor number
of the paper, nothing against the
rings. They've bought him up.
Ryan must do better or I'll quit him.
SHoDDY SHARPER.-IIow l hate
that vile paper! It tries to make
people believe that sharp tricks are
not honest I'll crush that fellow
Ryan, if money aud sly intrigue can
do it. | must have power as well as
money, and people will look upon
me rs swindler so long as that pa
per lives. I'll send my strikers
among the Changers and blacken
him.
MERCHANT. - Here is paper
called the Commercial, full of a rig
marole about Ceres, Pomona and
Flora, Grange meetings and all that
sort of thing, and no commercial |
news in it.
GRANGER.-Ryan Processes to be |
q friend to our order, and has not !
said one word about that Grange |
meeting ut Oaklawn. We want a |
live Grange organ and must have
one.
Just then the clairvoyant editor
heard the sharp click of scissors, and
looking round he saw Poachem, Of
the 11CelfiSer, clipping his paper
and giving no credit. Ryan made
ut Poachem with his clenched fist. |
Plagiarist looked up and said plead
fngly, 81 only wanted copy" The
blow descended with crash which
awollc Ryan from his vision. The
printers devil lay sprawling on the
floor, saying, Please sir, more copy

sm Another Express Robbery.

During the night of Wednesday, Nov,
18th, the express Office al Baldwinsyille,
Mass, station on the Vermont and
Massachusetts railroad, WIS broken into
and the safe taken away entire ia a wag-
on, the tracks of which we're seen the
next morning. Luckily for the express
company aud unluckily for TIE robbers
the safe contained only Eve dollars which
belonged TO the agent. The safe was AN
old one, only intended for use during the
day time, the agent making other dispo-
sition OF the company's funds each night.
1t was found a few days after, about
three miles from the village, in piece
Of woods, where by the help of sledges,
stolen from blscksmith's shop near by,
it had been battered until hole large
enough to admit an arm and extract the
package was made, and the safe left in
disgust The day previous the agent
had received an extra laage amount of
money which the robbers evidently sup
posed was left in the safe at night. The
result of this is somewhat in contrast
with the result of the other two heavy
express robberies which we notice else-
where this week. BaldwiDsville Office is
under the supervision Of supt. Geo. H.
Babbitt, one of our townsmen and he
thinks the burglars earned more than
they got, as the safe was quite heavy and
says if they will make themselves known
he will make them present of an ad-
ditional "V" for taking the safe out Of
the way as it was an old style one and
nearly worthless.

WESTMINSTER WEsT.-A lecture was
delivered at this place on Monday eve
ming, November 10th, by Mr.. George
Harris, a blind young man, a former
pupil of the Perkins Institute for the
Blind at South Boston, also recent
graduate of Harvard Divinity School.
His theme was, The eeucation and ex-
periences of the blind" and under this
topic he endeavored to present to his au-
dience some idea of what this life of ut
ter darkness must be. Also the different
methods by which this class of people
are enabled to become educated and in
dependent. He stated that there was
hardly profession in life, to which the
blind man might not aspire, and with
good prospect of success, if attended
with brains and determination. Many
amusing anecdotes were introduced, and
the close of the lecture was an appeal to
the people for help, sympathy and en-
couragement, in behalf of the blind peo-
pie, We regret to say that but very
small number of people were present, at
this most deserving lecture. And we
not only regret, but say it with some in
dignatiop, since it is so rare citcum
stance that anything SO meritable, pre-
sents itself to the people of this place
for their patronage. Even though there
did not exist among the people any in
terest in an entertainment which prom
ised to be pleasing and instructive to the
cultivated mind, surely the feelings OF
common humanity and sympathy for
one upon whom great and life long
sffliction rests, had it not been entirely
dead, would have called forth crowded
house. Methinks the good people OF
Westminster West would do we'll to de-
vote little season to the meditation OF
| the Golden Rule.
