The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1877-05-25


More precious than all jewels,
More glorious than gold,
Most wonderful OF treasures
That earth can ever hold.
The wisdom OF the ages,
The hone Of men denied,
The stumbling-block OF sages
The triumph OF Child'h
No mystery of science,
No wealth OF classic lore,
No mine of hidden knowledge
That men may doubt no more.
tale of simple meaning
The woman's hateful deed,
The curse that fell in Eden,
And mans most bitter need.
strange and wondrous story
The world was very young,
The prophecies were uttered,
The songs of triumph sung
OF Gods sweet compensation,
OF mercy's gentle need.
Lo she by serpent tempted
Shall conquer in her seed.
Let Abram leave his kindred
And Journey toward the west,
OF him shall come nation
To heed the Lords behest;
Anation and a people
Let Jacobs sons Increase
From Bethlehem. Bethlehem-Judah,
Shall come the Prince of Peace.
The centuries are lapsing,
And Judah's people weep.
But bark the cry Is sounding,
The Shepherd of the Sheep,
The Prince among the Prophets,
The stem of Jesse's rod,
He lies ON Mary's bosom,
And earth receives her God.
tale of simple meaning,
OF men from sin set free
The wisdom of the ages
Is lisped at Mary's knee.
The sages of Judea,
They wait for his replies;
Within their very temples
The child confounds the wise.
Lo fishermen are round him;
No men of high degree,
No learned Magi of the East,
The wondering people see.
The mystery of creation,
A woman and Child,
One through the serpent fallen,
The other undefled.
Ay, guard the treasure safely;
IT'S not for palace gates,
Nor for the dim secluded halls
Where lordly science waits;
But for the poor and simple
The path that Jesus trod,
He fashioned so that childlike hearts
Alone may find out God.

ON SHEDDING MY FLANNELS.
LII MI L..

We have parted, but well / remember
When first to my bosom you came,
For the dolorous chills of November
Had made me rheumatic and lame.
Where the moth and the rust cannot harm you,
/ fold you away on the shelf,
And with spices and gums embalm you,
The limp, lifeless shape of myself.
Like their odors, to me unfoRetful,
VIII faint, subtle memories cling,
As shudder and SILVER regretful
In the ptilcss east winds of spring.

No interference by the military power

As the perpetuity Of free government

US:

IT will be seen by our report Of the
proceedings Of the Board of supervis'
ors that q very appreciative reduction
has been made in the county tax levy
for this year, and were It not for the
fact that the payment of old debts, con-
tracted In the days OF Radical extrava-
gance, has to be provided for, the levy
for 1877 would be less than fifteen
mile. The whole expense for bridges
for the year is only $4,000, which would
not have paid for more than two OF
three bridges under Radical rule, and
this is but fair sample Of the econom'
ical manner In which the affairs Of the
county have been administered by the
present Board. With two years mOrt
of such management the county will b,

says:
"a man may pay rent on bis store

Rent draws no patrons, aud attracts no

for rent, and has bought stock, he Is
only ready to begin doing business.
He may be content with what business
