this as the most perfect pun he knew.

Little Orie.

BY WILLIAM W. sroCKwELL.
Alas, how very soon is gone,
A darling child!
Into a new life born,
Pure, undehled;
And fond hearts almost break,
Bearing their woe;
Hearts that Will ache, and ache, and ache,
While lingering here below;
Unless some messenger oflght,
Their way of life shall cheer,
And clearly bring to mortal sight,
The angel sphere.
The earth has one less tie that binds,
One great grief more;
In Heaven a new star shines,
Unknown before;
Eternity has gained
What time has lost;
Then why should kindred hearts be palned
When times last wave Is crossed,
When ones most fOndly loved has found,
For all the years to come,
With all the blessings that surround,
Heavenly home?
O, aching hearts! o, hearts bereaved!
DiSpel your grief;'
Heaven has its own received,
And given relief;
And Heaven is very kind,
As you will see,
When earthly ties no longer bind,
And you from time are free.
Your darling child is with the blest,
The dear ones gone before,
And is by angel hands caressed,
On that bright shore.
The life to be is very sweet,
More sweet than this;
Its joys are more complete,
More pure its bliss;
And though such bliss is gained,
As angels Know,
Our hearts are sadly panied,
When loved ones from us go;
But time with all is brief indeed,
We ever forward move;
And tread pathway that will lead,
To those We love.

4 WISE ExcUsE.-On one occasion at a
dinner at the Bishop of Chesters, Han
nah More urged Dr. johnson to take
little wine. He replied 81 cant drink
little, child, and, therefore, never touch
it. Abstinence is as easy to me as tenn
perance would be difficult" Many have
the same inirmity, but are destitute of
the same courage, and therefore are
ruined.

Little Blue Eyes.

Pack away the little dresses
That our darling has outgrown,
Round them cluster precious memories,
Brightest hopes our lives have known.
In their folds of snowy whiteneSS
Have we watched her form so fair,
While our souls gave silent utterance
Toa parents earnest prayer.
Holy angels bless our darling,
Guard and guide her gentle feet,
Fill her soul with heavenly wisdom,
Make the path of duty sweet.
Ere the rosy lips could utter
W OrdS whose meaning we might trace,
Sweetest smiles of recognition
Played about her cheTub face.
Now her p"attling tongue beguiles us
EVermore with music rare,
Baby talk and merry laughter
Fill with melody the air.
Little socks, so by wearing,
Little toes We're peeping through;
Keep the treasures for the future,
Tokens unto memory due.
Shoes and stockings, shorter dresses;
Looks as proud as any queen,
MamIna'S s blue-eyed, laughing baby,
Happier girl was never seen.
Precious child, about thee ever
Is a mothers holy love;
Pride and joy in thee were centered;
May noble WOmanhOod
Be the crown to deck thy forehead,
Be the chorus rich and grand,
Echoed by celestial voices,
From the shores of spirit-land.

THE WOODS ORGAN.-Mr. Herrick, of
Herrick & Hcnshaw, called our attention
the other day to a superb Geo. A. Woods
& Co.'S. organ just received by the firm
to fill an order from Fayette county. 1t
was one of the higher priced instruments
in magnificent black walnut case, which
is the very perfection of elegance of de-
sign and finish. The Wood Organs are
winning their way to the first rank in
instruments of their kind. They have
several important improvements peculiar
to them, and their tone and volume unex-
cellcd by the instruments of any other
makers. One thing that distinguishes
them, is that just as much care and skill
and finish is bestowed upon the internal
arrangements of the cheaper instruments
of this manufacture, as upon those of the
highest priced organs. According to its
capacity and power, the cheapest Woods
Organ is equal to the most costly. The
FIoJccliHS Key poaIu, WHICH gives tHc
Woods Organ its elegant appearance, be-
sides adding to its utility, is patented and
is found on no other instrument. The
constantly increasing sale of these organs
where introduced, attests the favor they
are receiving from the public. Herrick &
Henshaw have the agency and keep full
supply constantly on hand.

TERRIBLE ACcIDENT.-Fred Aborn, {

TERRIBLE ACcIDENT.-Fred Aborn, a
lad of ~ years, and another boy of about
the same age, being in the western part of
the city, near the track of the B., c. r.. &
M. railroad, conceived that it would be
rare fun to operate the turn-table there To-
Gated, and, as we think, with culpable
carelessness, left unlocked. For while
all went well, but the last round, in at
tempting to jump on the swinging track to
ride, young Aborn missed his hold and
fell between the end of the table and the
stationary track, and was fearfully crush
ed. His hurts are broken collar bone,
the fracture of three ribs on one side and
two on the other, besides other in
ternal injuries from which it was suppos-
ed he could not possibly recover. There
is, however, great recuperative resources
in an active. healthy boy. At the present
writing Thursday we learn that in spite
of his serious hurts, the lad is comforta-
BILE, with good pulse, and respiration, and
that the probabilities of his recovery are
by no means desperate. Now let that
turn-table be made stationary, beyond the
power of mischievous boys to. swing it.

KIEFER-I In Haxleton Township Buchanan Co.,
Iowa, July gid, Of Consumption, Mrs. Alice
kefer, wife OF John Kiefer, In the 9th year Of
her age.
Mrs. Kiefer was q bride Of but little over one
year and half Her illness, lof but two weeks
duration, was borne with great patience and she
died In the full hope Of o glorious resurrection.
She had been member Of the NJ. K. Church for
six years. She was an exemplary Christian whose
loss will be deeply felt by the church and COM
munity. Her life was worthy Of imitation.
She was born in the State OF Indiana, where her
parents still reside. When her illness assumed a
dangerous character, they were ,summoned, her
mother arriving but two days before the death Of
her daughter. 1t was great consolation to both
to meet and say farewell ere death had yet separ-
ated them forever in this world. During all her
illness she had every care and comfort that could
be bestowed upon her.
Her dearly beloved husband deeply feels his
loss. May his hearts affections be drawn by
this bereavement away from the world as never
before and placed ION things eternal"- Words Of
comfort were spoken by Rev. John Dauson, her
pastor, from Revelations, Chap. xii: FIRST clause
Of the 9th verse: ''And there shall be no night
then" He spoke with affectionate regard and
hope of the Christian character Of the deceased.
During the discourse very many in the large au-
dience shed the sympathetic tear. The remains
were taken for burial to the Cemetary at lndepen-
dence Blessed are the dead which die IN the
Lord, for henceforth."

GAs.--The City Council had special
meeting on Wednesday evening, to
consider the proposition of the Chicago
Automatic Gas Co., and the application
for a charter to establish gas works in
this city, to which allusion was made in
our columns last week. Upon examina-
ton of the demands of the company, it
was found that they ask for an exclusive
charter amounting to monopoly, for
thirty years. Considering that very little
is known here of the company, or of the
quality of the gas they propose to furnish,
the Council, very wisely as we think, re-
ferred the whole matter to committee to
procure Information, and report at the
next regular meeting.

Iowa FINE Stock GAZETTE. first
number of neatly printed, well filled
and illustrated monthly of 16 pages, with
the above title, published by G. r. Will
kinson & Co. of Vinton, Iowa, is on our
table Ii has number of articles of
great interest and value to those engaged
in the raising and improving of stock of
all kinds. The publishers say in the pro-
spectus:
"We apprehend that the demands of
the country are absolute for greater atten-
ton and effort in the direction of Stock
Raising; that the salvation of the farmer
from the burdens of debt, involved by the
exclusive attention to grain-growing, de-
ponds upon the advantages that await him
in breeding, raising and feeding of fine
stock. 1t shall be the aim of the Iora
Fine Stock Gazette to render valuable
service in such reform of the industries
of agriculturists, as will induce their
wealth and independence. The breed
ing of improved and thoroughbred stock
the condensation of bulk, before ship.
ment, by feeding, we regard as preemi-
nently the first and most important steps
in such reform"

and citizenesses, with a smart sprinkling
of youngsters, went out to the vicinity of
Littleton yesterday, to enjoy picnic in
the woods. 1t is probably unnecessary to
add this broiling weather, thatthey enjoy
ed it. These occasions of social pleasure
and relaxation are very interesting, es-

Adam Forcpaugh's world praised aggre-
CATION is to exhibit here on Tuesday, Au-
gust II. This will be good news to many
of our readers, old and young. We
have not time to make an extended notice
of this, the largest and finest combination
of1menagerie, museum and circuses in the
world. Suffice it to say the menagerie
embraces 1, 500 exhibition animals, rang
ing from the hippopotamus to q hum
ming-bird the museum presents not less
than ten thousand wonderful curiosities
from all parts of the world, and a circus
in too rings, or rather two circus com

able of holding ten thousand spectators.
A performing animal show, with three
trained elephants, pair of lions and
tigers, and an unicorn weighing 5000
pounds, and camels, dogs, goats, and
many other animals, constitutes new
and novel feature of this stupendous COM
bination.
On the morning of show day the grand
caravan will enter the town preceded by
the gorgeous triumphal chariot containing
the army band, all drawn by twenty Ar
abian horses the performing elephants
and herd of camels will follow Herr
Darious performing with his lions and
tigers in an open den, and the longest line
of cages and museum wagons ever seen in
a show parade will follow. All the wa
CONS ever seen in show parade will fol
low. All the wagons, harnesses, &C., are
new, drivers and horses will be uniformed
and plumed, 400 magnificent paintings
adorn the cages, besides carved statuary
representations of kings, princes, presi-
dents, divines, philosophers, generals,
members of congress, &c. With good
weather we shall expect to see the largest
crowd here on show day ever seen in this
city. Come in early and see the grand
parade. One ticket for so cents, children
25 cents, admits to the eight combined
tents
