Dear heart, the sunny days fly by so fleetly,
hardly mark the happy golden hours;-
stoop to pluck the blossoms breathing sweetly,
But gather Autumn leaves instead of flow'rs.

But ere the sigh is breathed, the snow is gone
And, pouring from the cliff, the torrents foun-

The days are filed with oyerfi)wing gladness-
Such happiness rs ne'er was voucllcd before;
But soon-the thought is scarcely tinged with

Lifes varied change will touch my heart no
A year from now, the winter snowfakes drift

Will lie upon my cold and silent heart;
And from above my head, the chill clouds rift

Fair buds and blooms of Spring will blushing

MILWAUKEE, Wis.
Bickham, of the Dayton Journal,
writes the following good one from
Washington. The fact is, Ohio has
been for some time past furnishing the
brains to run the country. There is no
telling what this country will come to
when there is good thorough surface
dressing of Ohio brains spread all over
the States:>
Quoth Senator Bayard to Senator
Thurman in the High Commission
chamber the other day, when Stanley
Mathews was delivering his great ar
gument in the Florida case: Il say,
Thurman, have you many such men las
Mathews1 i'll Ohio?' ''Oh yes" rtjoin-
ell Thurman. 1.-The State is full Of
them waiting only for a chance to come
here and wake you all up"
On the same occasion, said UOar to
Garfield: lave you many men like
Matthews in Ohio?' Garfield replied
humorouslV, No, not 4 great many;
Matthews, think. is Il little above tile
average.' TO which Hoar responded,
Well, sir, we have no such man in
Massachusetts," This is only an exam
ple' Of compliments showered upon Mat
thews and Ohio.
We are inclined to think that Buch-
anan, of the Sioux Falls Paragraph,
is 4 man after Our own heart. The
Swan Lake Era says of him: - When
Buchanan says in his first number that
lie will run the paper to suit himself,
we verify believe him, for he bel 3ngs to
the church militant and his sword is al
ways loose i'll its scabOard. Let s
shake.'
And we notice that there is state
Of affairs in Sioux Falls similar to that
existing in Worthington. The Panta-
graph says:
The Sioux Falls Ring has shown it's
hand by sending up the sheriff to close
out the Paragraph just as we go to
press. These villanous efforts Of the
miserable bankrupt crowd will avail
nothing, and if things are not made
lively for them, then we are mistaken,
that is all.
All those to whom we have mailed
the Paragraph. not having returned
it or ordered it stopped, will be entered
on our books as regular subscribers.
AS the subscription books were stolen,
this was tie only remedy at hand to
meet it.
AS to "burying the hatchet,' we
confess we do not understand how.

SEED GR.AIN-CUUNTY AFFAIRS.
EDITOR ADVANCE: I have read the
seed grain bill in your paper, and think
it poor one. I think it will do more
harm than good. III the first place, it
will not furnish one in ten with what
he wants, and there is not one in ten
that will take the oath that will stay
in the country if they get half Il crop.
So the man that gets no grain will have
to pay for the same.
A few words us to our town. / do

But the excuse was that it was too hot
or too hard or the wages were not as
much as they got in War times.
AS to county affairs, | have watched
the papers for Il statement like the one
recently made, but never SAW it before.
The people would like to see full state
ment made as 10 county affairs, as you
suggest in your last issue. II any OF
our county officers have not done their
duty, bring him to time, and if there
is one that has betrayed his trust, give
him {: trial and let him suffer the pen.

but Il fair and full statement as to oul
