Lighted tspers dare in equal rows,
Aud cast their way'riug shadows On The val:
Tossed fro and backward, er'ry censer throws
It's perfume on the hoavy mautled pail
And those who bow their weeping heads around
Give soft Amen to every requiem,
Until the mellow, cadent sound
Ii bo1ue aloft bg whiting cheruhim.
Heavy Grapes the faded gar1ands deck,
And tw7ne among The laurel and the feTn.-
While statues draEed the portent Little reck
Gives honor to the newly-sculptured urn.
High balconies the s2ble mourning wear,
And lend their solemn homage, seruonfc,
Where, ao.nhre from the halfway shaded g!arnt
The organ pours it's offer, symphonic.
The priest, in flowing robes Of white and black,
From altar oentering the gathered shrong.
Gives to the Earth ita borrowed portion back.
And sends the Spirit upward, borne on song.
And now the reverent cortege files past
With measured step and eyer-bated breath.
So, vhen the morrow's sun shal1 como ut last,
1ta rays shall Light the saddcued Hall of Death.

Wilson. We certainly would use no
other. 1t works with equal facility on
muslin, cloth, cambrc, tarletan, fanael

spine or wear out the operator In any
way, neither does 1t demand an incessant
stoppage to find out where the difficulty
is, as none exists. There is no difficulty.
10 runs smoothly and evenly, hens, fells,
tucks, gathers and binds. 1t does the
finest and most beautiful work on cam
brio and linen. 1t also has the merit OF
being cheaper than any other tlrst-class
sewing machine. 1t does not get out OF
order nor break needles, nor slip, mol
quicker the cloth. So complete has thu
Wilson Sewing Machine been made, by q
skillful combination of brain and mus

was committed in such bold manner at
Carbonate Oh Wednesday evening, by
some member of the Williamson county
bandits. has created considerable talk in
this city II is considered here Us last
ing disgrace upon the whole Of Southern
Illinois. and the question asked by all is,
how long are these outrages to be pcrpc-
tratcd upon the citizens of this portion
of the state, without some action being
taken by the State authorities to put a
stop to them: Even the most innocent
are not safe while the perpetrators of
these cruel crimes are at large.
