For the Farmers vindicator.l
IN VAIN.
BY sALLIE ADA VANCE.


Your words are sweet, your promise fair,
1t shows path Of May-day bloom;
/ scent the breath of balmy air
My heart takes in its sweet perfume.
Where sweet and cooling waters flow,
Your feet will stray on golden sand,
And precious pearls will CLEAN and glow
All ready for your waiting hand.
Some gentle brow serenely fair,
Untouched by any earth despair
Must wear them with kiss Of thine,
But, Darling not this brow of mine;
If it should throb with sudden pain,
Perchance your touch would be in vain
Dear love,
In vain.
Deep hidden in the summer green
Is luscious fruit so ripe and sweet,
And it would drop its golden sheen
In tempting beauty at thy feet
But touch it lightly as you must
And hold it dearly as you may,
1t yet may turn to bitter dust
That naught but tears can wash away.
From out dim and starless night,
My eyes look upward to your height,
But on the flowers your steps have pressed,
My weary feet will never rest;
My heart throbs with sudden pain,
You hold my trembling hand in vain
Dear love,
In vain.

hardly move his leg from pain.
He found that he must either bs
run over by The next train or make
known his situation. He shouted
himself hoarse, but no one came.
After having been prisoner for up

and The idea came TO him to signal
the train. Tearing the papers oil
his bundle, and getting at some
liters, he rolled them into n heap.
and for fear the flames would die
out too suddenly he added his
clothes. The bundle was then
made fast to The end Of his walking
stick, and he waited until tho
headlight of tho locomotive should
appear. 1t finally greeted his
vision and he struck his match, but
q gust Of wind blew 1t out. An
other match was struck, and in an

death was certain he heard the
whistle for brakes. lie WAS saved

One Of the most pathetic re-

Disaster, is the habit OF woman
whose three daughters were killed,
but still believes that they are
alive. Every day when the facto-
ry bells are ringing for dinner, the
woman who saw her three daugh-
ters borne away to be buried, takes
tin pail, as she used to do, anu
starts for Granite Mill No. !,
Sometimes her neighbors divert
