Farewell, Rosa I oh, We MES thee

But when by faith we look up yondcr,
And see our Rosa robed In white, fI.
Wen try TO hush our heartfelt sorrow
And meet her In that world Of light.
Farewell, Rosa Yes, we miss thee
Our home Is now lonely spot iIf
Those sweet, blue eyes are closed forever
Thy loving voice we hear II not.
Hsrk do you hear that heavenly music
Rosa strikes her harp Of gold

While all the Joys Of heaven unfold.
Farewell, Rosa Willie calls you,
And wants TO know II you're asleep
His black eyes took 40 sad and mnurnful,
We have to turn aside aud weep.
You were always here together
Always shared our home alike
Now only Willie's left TO love US
Dear little child, bis carcs are light.
Farewell, Rosa oh, we mics thee
And our hearts are filled with pain,
when we think that we shall never
Clasp you to our breasts again
Yet we know that high up yonder, 7.N'
Folded close on Jesus breast
We can End you II we're faithful pf
10 that land ofperiect rest.
Farewell, Rosa God has taken thee
From the evil yet to come
And when we reach the Crystal River,
She'll shout that Manma's coming home
How anxiously she'll watch for papa,
AZ he ncars the other shore
She'll shout for joy. our little loved one,
From US she'll uo'cr be parted more.
Farewell, gess We will meet thee
In thai bright, celestial land
And, with your little sister Mary,
Wen seek you In the angelic band.

What JOY what JOY No tongue can tell

Centennial year OF our nntion has
dawned upon US. The busy, bustling
scenes that have characterized our na
tions progress for a hundred years
have suddenly been suspended, and in
quietncss and serenity the people have
been called upon TO behold and invcsti-
gate the works of a century. The
works Of art and mechanism and skill,
the mighty inventions and strange dis
coveries that our people have ever
heen proud to boast Of, have been placed
upon exhibition and have stood up us
bright memorials while anxious multi
tudes have retired from their labors
and throngcd TO behold with astonish.
ment and pride the accomplishment OF
a century and to pay homage TO tho
names that bear the honors Of their
work. The poorly constructed machin-
cry and lily contrived appliances Of y
hundred years ago have been compared
with the well arranged mechanism OF
the present day. The old log school

SENATOR MoRRIssEY's RESoMiSA.
TIoN.-The Republicans of the Sew
enty Senate district have, we think,
done wisely In nominating Mr..
John Morrissey for reelection 10 the
State Senate. In saying this we do
not in any way commend Mr..
MoFrissey's character as q profes.
siOnal gambler, nor do we give coun.
tenance 10 the notion that gamblers
are the kind of men who should
represent the people in legislative bod
les. Mr.. Morrissey, however, occupies
an exceptional position. In the first
place, we do not think that his personal
honesty is questioned. Even in his
calling II has been his boast that when
he has accepted a chance 10 win al
opponents dollar he has given bis op.
ponent the same chance 10 win a do,lSc
from him. He has held public offices
for many years, aud no one ha' accus.
ed him oil swerving a hairs bread b
from the line Of Official honesty. There
is much more credit in supporting ;uch
q candidate, nominated for a good pur-
pose, than there iSin voting for a man
in whose favor, even II no direct ac-
cuRations are made against him, moth
ing positive can be said, and who, il
elected, will vote against measure:
calculated for the public good. Mr.
Morrissey is, moreover, a man Of in
telligence, independent in action and
thoroughly versed in municipal affairs
His course in the Senate last winter
showed that he understands just where
the buden of our municipal expenses
originates, and that no Senator had a
clearer or more practical conception of
the remedies that should be applied.
or his election there is little doubt
