Poetry.
AN OLD MANS sOLILOQUY.

1t wasn't so when I was young,
We used plain language then;
We didn't speak of them ''galoots"
When speaking Of boys or men.
When speaking of the nice hand write
Of 10, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say
HE swings nasty quill
And when we saw "a girl we liked"
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good;
But not "about the cheese
WE'LL when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him, but didn't say,
Hello, you old sardine u
The boys sometimes got mad and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows,
But now they "whack him on the snoot,'
And ''paste him on the nose"
Once when a youth was turned away
Fiofr jlses sa loved most dear,
4 Hi walked OF on his feet, but now
sEe .ssi'aNHls off on hts ear"
we used to sstiiee when was young,
And used sto safA lyso,
But now they don't, they only 'sling
The light fantastic toe"
OF death we spoke in language plain,
That no one did perplex
But in these days one doesn't die,
He ''passes in his checks.''
We praised the man of common sense;
His judgments good we said,
But now they say, well, shat old John
Has got a level head"
It's rather sad the children now,
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to ''chin' instead of talk,
And sswaltz'' instead Of walk.
To little Harry yesterday
My grandchd aged two
I said, ''You love grandpa?H said he.
ssYou bet your boots do''
The children bowed to strangers once:
1t is no longer SO;
The little girls as well as boys,
Now greet you with ''hello.''
In those days, when I would ask.
MAY walk with you to SCHOOL,.
She answered, ''Yes sir, if you please;'
But now, it is always 'ih the COOL
Oh, give me back the good old days
When both old and young
Conversed i'll plain, old fashioned words,
And slang was never ''slung y

News for Farmers.

As you are all desirous Of having your
buildings and their contents insured:
against loss by fire and damage by light
ming, we would call your attention to the
superior inducements offered by the Water
town Fire Insurance Co., Watertown, N.
Y. The peculiar feature Of this company
is that it confines its risks exclusively to
farm property and private dwellings, and
is consequently exempt from the ruinous
losses incurred by companies holding
heavy risks in great cities like Chicago and
Boston. which have been recently swept
by such destructive fires, as to ruin many
companies doing business in those places.
The Watertown il stock company with
cash assets over 100000, and. surplus Of
$340, $50. such being it's dour:shing condi-
t;on. We can safely recommend it az the
most reliable company for farmers to in

companies insuring all classes Of property

Transportation Reduction.

The Rochester Post in an article up-
on this subject as affecting the elec-
tions, says:
The States, in their individual capacity,
may do something in this direction, and
yet, there seems to be growing convic-
tion among the people that the permanent
and satisfactory adjustment Of the trans
portation question will depend largely on
the action OF the national Congress. This
is, undoubtedly the correct view. It is.
eminently, national matter, and will have
to be settled by the nations represents
tives.
As before indicated, this question will
enter largely into political discussion, in
the political campaign, even if it is not the
main issue; and as the Northwest have
vast interests at stake in the issue. tho
choice OF members of Congress become
highly important. None but men thor
ougly tried and not found wanting; none
but men Of conceded ability and influence
and who are actively and honestly alive
to the interests Of the people, should even
be thought Of, much less named in con-
nection with Congressional honors and re-
sponslbilities. No mere untried politician
or place-hunter, for the sake Of availability
or other partisan motive, should be select
cd tor this important position. They
should be men Of and from the people, ca
Pable and experienced, and thoroughly in
earnest respecting the demands of public in
terests and individual necessities.

June g.
We are baving fine weather to do farm
work, and our farmers are improving their
time. Cultivating corn is the order Of the
day, yet some have not got all their corn
planted. Our late rains seem not to have
stopped the drought, however vegetation is
growing rapidly. Several Of our prairie
farmers are opening farms in the woods.
D. Lyons has quite a piece under cultiva-
ton. This prairie has got 90 fenced up
that the cattle have to wander far to get
sufficient to eat. Some Of our citizens are
using little paint on their dwellings and
utensils which improves their looks very
much. The White Star Base Ball Club
plays match game at Esdsile to-day. Ye
Red Wing Club take note. Our Sunday
School is still improving, and may sac
cause be carried on with true interest.
The cutworm seems to be as bad on the
potato vines as the potato bug. Colyer &
Dopkins are at their old stand they make
splendid offers to those who wish to pur-
chase anything in their line. A good deal
OF improvements have been made in the
roads this spring. It will not be many
years before timber will be very scarce in
this neighborhood. To travel on one Of
