Mr.. p. KIRsHERand lady visited our town
last Monday. Mr.. X. informs us that not
withstanding a great number of grasshop-
pers were washed away by the recent food,
there are still myriads of them in his neigh
borhood. They have gone over his field
and eaten it off clean, and are waiting for
the grain to come up again. He thinks the
crops that were sown late will fare best, as
the grasshoppers will probably leave the
fields in search of food before the grain
comes up, and when they leave, may be kept
OFF by surrounding the fields with water I'M
til they are large enough to fly.

them in saving King 4 Gillette's dam, at the
bead of their tlume, from being swept away

men have done good service to ON citizens.

camp, as well as to the proprietors of the
dume. having saved them several thousand
dollars. 1t is to be regretted that those who
worked hardest, have sustained the greatest
DAMAGE by the flood. 1t is estimated that
it will cost them several weeks OF hard labor
TO drain their ground, which is near the
head of this fume.

It Might Have Been.
by R. KELso CARTER

by R. KELso CARTER
Full often I'm our lives has come day
When, pausing where two paths divergent lay,
We pondered, deep and long, which one 10
Fearful that, either followed, we might lose
The rare enjoyment of a happy hour,
or grateful incense OF a fragrant flower,
Or glimpse OF some fair land Where sni"eS 'iie
on giant groves, and where the rivers run
Through furrowed fields and through the shad-
or cypress trees that weep upon the banks.
We fear to lose SO much but, knowing not
The changeful chances OF our future lot'
We set out boldly ON the chosen track -,
And then-so often, comes the looking Daek
The baffied strife our cherished goal 10 VIII
The mournful, hopeless cry-'It might nave
BEEN"
Sometimes the soul, when with great sorrowing
Recalls a time, long fed, when lightly hung
The course offuture years In Fate's great scale ;
And see how, all unwittingly, an influence
As morning dews that on the grasses CLEAN
Destroyed the even balance Of the beam
Unknown TO us the deep decision made
And turned our path from sunshine into shade
A passing thought; a look a trifiing deed;
word unspoken In an hour OF need,
Or spoken when Z were better left unsaid;
Some written line that we by chance have
All these can shin the scene with subtle hand,
And round our future draw an iron band.
We think that such little thing
Can ever such tremendous sequence bring,
Until too late; and then, we backward turn
The page that we have filled, and dimly burn
The light OF other days, in vain regrets
For opportunities gone by. The spirit frets
Against its destiny, and deep within
Our hearts we mourn for what We might have
been.
All I soul look upward, trusting; kiss the rod;
And know'there is no "might have been" with
God.
From Him, whenever lowly we draw near,
We learn of Love that casteth out all fear;
We find Faith that, in oblivion's sea,
Whelms every dread and doubt eternally;
Hope unfaltering to us is given;
A tender Charity, as broad as heaven;
A perfect Peace "A calm, untroubled Rest;
Through these, all things seem ever right and
best.
We rise triumphant over death and sin,
All pain and sorrow I'm our Joy forgot,
And, looking backward on our "might have
been,"
Thank God that IL was not.
