POETRY.



Oh. let the soul its slumbers break,
Arouse It's senses, and awake
To see how soon
Life, in Its glories, glides away,
And the stern footsteps Of decay
Come stealing on.
And while we view the rolling tide.
Down which our flowing minutes glide
Away 50 fast
Let DIS the present hour employ
And deem each future dream a joy
Already past.
Let no vain hope deceive the mind
No happier let us hope to fnd
Tomorrow than to-day
onr golden dreams Of yore were bright,
Like them the present shall delight
Like them decay.
Our lives like lasting streams must be
That into the ef1gulfng sea,
Are doomed to fall
The sea Of death whose waves roll on,
And swallew all.
Alike the rivers lofdly tide,
Alike the rivulet's humble glide
TO that sad wavei
Death leaves poverty and pride,
The rich and poor sleep side by side
Within the grave.
Our birth is but the starting place
Life is but the running Of the race,
And death the goal;
There all our glittering toys are bought,
The path alone Of all unsought,
Is found of all.
See. then, how poor and little worth
Are all these glittefing toys of earth,
That lure us lefe--
Dreams of a sleep that death must break;
Alas before 1t bids us awake,
We disappear.
Long ere the damp of earth can blight
The cheeks pure glow Of red and white,
He passed away.
Youth smiled, and all was heavenly fair
Age came and laid his finger theres
And where are they
Where Is the strength that spurned decay,
The STEPS that royed so light and gay,
~ The hearts blthe tone?
The strength is gone, the step is slow,
And joy grows wearisome and woe,
When age comes oni

FRETTING.--There is one sin which it seems
to me is everywhere and by everybody under
estimated, toler ted with undue tolerance
and quite to much overlook in our valuations
of character. 1t is the sin of fretting. 1t is
as common as air, as universal as speech so
Common that unless 1t rises above it's usual
monotone we do not even observe it. Watch
any ordinary coming together of people, and
see how many minutes it will be before some
body frets--that is, makes more or less COM
planning statement of something or other,
which, most probably. every one in the room;
or the stage or the car, or the street corner,
as it may be, knew before, and which, most
probably, no body can help. Why say any
thing about it? II is cold, it is bot, it is wet
Ii is dry somebody has broken an appoint
ment, iil-cocked meal stupidity or bad faith
somewhere has resulted in discomfort. There
are always plenty Of things to fret about
The days will always have more or less Bad
weather inconvenient to somebody's fixed
plan All men go astray, speaking lies and
making blunders. as soon as they be born
n Is simply astonishing how much annoyance
and discomfort may be found in the course OF
every days living, even at the simplest, IL on
ly keeps sharp eye out on that side Of things
Eveti Holy Wrfl says we are horn to treuble
as sparks fly upward. But even TO the sparks
flying upward, in the blacklist of smoke, there
is blue sky above, and the less time they
waste on the road the sooner they win reach
it. Fretting is all time wasted on the road.

think that it is jest as bad for him to listen to
a bad story or song as for girl, or worse, for
he has more strength to resist or run away. Il
have brought him up to think that manliness
doesn't consist in havin' cigar in his mouth
and his hat to one side and swearin' and re-
petin' slang frases and KNOWN about ques-
tionable amusements, but in layin' hold of
every duty that comes to him with brave
heart and a cheerful face in helpin' to right
the wrong, protect the weak, and maxim the
most and best of the mind and soul God has
given him. In short, have brought him up
to think that purity and virtue are both masku-
line and feminine gender, and that Gods
angels are not necessarily all she ones.

H. w. Talcott, of lola, Allen county,
is the successor of Hon. Jno. Il. Goodin
as Judge of the Seventh Judicial District
having been appointed by Gov. Osborn
last Friday to fill the unexpired term OF
Goodin. Mr.. Talcott has resided at lola
eight or nine years, and We think first
appeared before the people OF Allen
county as the editor of the lola REGISTER.
He was educated to the trade OF q
printer. He found but little reward as
publisher and soon abandoned the
newspaper for the law Office, and has
since continued in the latter profession.
In 1871 he ran for Judge against Goodin,
though but little interest was taken in
the campaign by either. Mr.. Talcott

age. He is regarded at home as lawyer
of good ability, and is gentleman Of

Yet ever beyond doth the Beacon Light burn.
