pxw W. D. HowELLs.
There is bird that comes and sings
Ia the Professors garden trees;
Upon the English oak he swings
And tits and losses in the breeze.
know his name, l know his note,
That so with rapture takes my soul;
Like fame the gold beneath his throat,
His glossy cope is black as COAL
Oh, oriole, it is the song
You sang me from the cottonwood
Too young to feel that was young,
Too glad to guess If life were good.
And while bark, before my door,
Adown the dusty Concord road
The blue Miami flows once more
AS by the cottonwood it flowed.
And on The bank that rises steep
And pours thousand tiny rills;
From loss and absence laugh and leap
My school-mates in their fiutter-mills.
The blackbirds jangle IN the tops
OF hoary -anilered sycamores;
The timorous killdeer starts and stops
Among the driftwOod on the shores.
Below, the bridge-a noonday fear
eOt dust and shadow shot with sun
Stretches its gloom from pier to pier,
Unto strange coasts, unknown, or won
Only by daring more than mine
OF older boys that breast the tide;
Dimly their sim, white bodies shine
Far over from the other side;
And on those alien coasts above,
Where silver rIpples break the streams
Long blue, from some roof sheltering grove
A hidden parrot scolds and screams.
All, nothing, nothingi commonest things;
touch, glimpse, sound breath
But in the song the oriole sings
Lives a lost world that knew not DEATH
The world we somehow hope at last
So the heart juggles with the brain
We shall find somewhere, and the past
Forever make our own again.

DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in
the world. We fully guarantee them in all the above
pa ticulars. COLTS ARMS co. have spared no
CHIMES with which to build these Engines SO that
every part Is made up to gauge and are perfectly in
Interchangeable, the Importance of which will be
de stood by all who at all familiar with machin-
cry, Thus every Engine of given size is exact
duplicate of every other one of that size and IN case
OF breakage the broken part can be immediatelyre-
placed by its perfect duplicate.
The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its
the great need that exists for perfect
Steam Engne-of small power-adapted to all kinds
OF light mechanical work, and that should also COM
biae all that is good in Steam Engineering.
Tine first point was, to secure perfectly pho-
so9hical Boiler and Furnace in order to insure the
most perfect combustion, and to take up the greatest
possible amount OF heat in generating steam.
The second point was, to make a perfect cutoff
Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up
TIE temperature OF the Under to prevent loss by
radiation or condensation.
The third point was. to combine and make the
whole mechanically and scientifically correct ma
cline; all its parts being provided with means to
nltmoer of years, and always run smoothly. In all
tese particulars as much has been taken as In
u largest and most perfect engine constructed
The result is-THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF POWER
PRoPoRTIoNED TO THE AMOUNT OF FUEL CON-
stMED-thus proving the fact-wel known to men
mt the mechanical forces, generated in the COM
6asstson Of FUEL to the production of n,otUe po,cer

THE false idea of honor which
prompts drinking men to accept any
penalty or inconvenience rather than
testify to the truth before court, in
a case where liquor dealer is inter-
ested, is unaccountable on any Just
Or proper theory of reason or honor.
Referring to the case of a man who
refused to obey the summons to tes-
tify in a liquor suit, and was thereup-
on fined by the court for contempt,
the Cedar Rapids Times thus lays
down the true theory in this regard:
If a man sells another man whis-
ky, he does so at his own peril, and
it should be with the distinct under
standing upon the part Of both the
vendor and the drinker that if the
latter is called upon to testify he will
do so without fear or favor, and no
man who drinks intoxicating liquors
in saloon in Iowa has right, NOR
ally or legally, to refuse to testify to
the fact when legally called upon.
