In the golden sunlight that slants across
my path
lean ind no traces of Gods gloomy wrath.
In the soft warm colOrs of the dainty
flower
1 can see no threstenings Of vengeful
power.
And the smooth clear waveIets OF the
gIistening lake
whisper only peace, as 'gainst the
shores they break,
And the merry rivulet flashing swift
along
has ever love the burden of its silver
song.
Zen the awful storm clouds, shutting out
the sky,
And the dreadful tempest as it PUSHES by
Fen the vivid lightning, with its swift
death-bIow,
Tell no tale OF malice, or eternal woe.
These too, come in mercy from gener-
Gus Hand
To nourish and reyive-to purify the
land.
Life's dark storms OF trouble Ger our
heads may break,
Yet ever sunlight follows in the Storm
kings wake.
Clouds Of darkest color silver ltnings
wear;
Nature paints no picture without some
thing fair;
Brightest raIn-bows gIisten after fercest
rain.
Gods loving promises that joy shall
follow pain. NAOMI.

This talented company OF artists will
be here at Bancroft's Hall next Tuesday,
June 9th. As an evidence Of the quality
Of their entertainments. we quote the fol-
lowing from the Fort Scott DAILY Moni-
tor OF the 10th instant:
The famous Peak family drew e large
and appreciAtive audience last evening.
such an audience rs only the best artistic
telent can bring out In + ort Scott. 1t is
one Of the Oldest troupes travelling, and
the reputation OF the Peaks Is almost
worldwide. The programme last night
was one Of great variety and many attrac-
lions. The table bells were handled
with that wonderful skill and eject Pc
culiaP to the Peaks, and unequaled by
any other company OF bell ringers; and
the staff solos by Fannie Peak and I'd. 8.
Peak were faultlesslY rendered. But
bell ringing constitutes on ~ . small por-
tiOn OF the entertainment given by this
troupe. "DOt" and ssSpark' are star
specialities, while "our German friend"
Aft Wyman, Is immense. These three
are better than menAgerie and circus
combined, with . full brass band. The
Dutch sketch, ''Karl and Gretchen"
kept the audience laughing for half an
hour, and ALI. Wyman's musical sketch.
'MAsks and Faces" was decidedly rich.
As clog dancers "Dot" and 'ESpark"
probably have no superiors OF their age
In the country.

of those young men who want TO learn

come and work and pay their own

along and they can find plenty of
chances up this way TO learn what it
Is 70 be leg weary at night. Our plant

planting, but there is quite q COM
plant about having to replant. II
you have . receipts TO prevent field
mice from taking up corn, please pub
lish it In the News, IS they are very
destructive this season.
Our small grain Is looking well, and
the grass and weeds never grew faster
then they do this season. It reminds
one of Sunday up here, every day, for
there Is q perfect quiet. The herd law
question seems % have disappeared,
and there Is no public blowing of poll
ties. We do once in while say that
We are for Peyton and Brown, but
then, / expect that there are Others that
keep mp q powerful thinking, and If
you folks are going to run c. ". for

ter take him down before you put him

that Is an old trapper, and he says that
G. v. does not understand how TO skin

trap them, then to bury them, say IS
hours beEOre you attempt to skin. /
WAS asking him what he thought G. v.
had better do to git rid of THAI stencil
that the skunk had left on him, and
my neighbOr said that the best thing
that he ever knew to Co for 8 dog
when they come in contact with
ekunk was to feed the dog plenty of
fat bacon and lay IL away ia the shade.
Then he says the darn things will

JOHN MILLER.
Another Lyon Ceunty Preacher
Disgrased

Another Lyon County Preacher
DisgFassed-
Rumors reach US that John Miller, q
minister OF the Christian denomination,
who has for some years lived on the Neo-
sho near Hartford, ten or twelve miles
below here. has grossly violated the COM
mandment, Thou shalt not commit
adultery" He is said to be lty-fiYe
years old and has been married about
thiFty.three years. He has been suspI-
eioned OF being too friendly with a Wild
ow lady Of that vicinity for some time.
On being accused he did not deny his
sinful and dlsgrseeful conduct. The
partner Of his guilt was formerly the
wife Of . prominent citizen Of Empor1a,
and has always been highly esteemed for
her Virtuous, womAnly qualities. She
came here about twentv years ago, quite
. young girl. and was almost raised here.
Her old friends are not only surprised
- her fall, but deeply panied.
Miller Ii an industrious man, and with
the aid Of property brought him by his
wife, who IL > most estimable lady, had
accumulated considerable property. We
hear he attempted to swindIe her out of
her just share, but was defeated in this
by her friends. She has commenced pro-
ceedings for divorce. Miller, we hear,
soon enjoy life with his new affinity"
The details OF this affair, as we hear
them on the street, are most disgraceful,
and We believe the parties should be
dealt with In the most severe manner.
