flowman, whose gnarly hand yet kindly wheeled
my my pillow to ring this solitary tree a..
WIN clover, whose round plat, reserved afield
. IN cool green radius twice my length may be-
scanning the corn thy burrows else might Weld
TO pleasure, August, bees fair thoughts and me
That here come oft together-daily l,
stretched prone in summers mortal ecstasy,
DO sur with thanks 10 thee, as stirs this morn
With waving Of the corn.
unseen, the farmers boy from round the hill
whistles a snatch that seeks his soul unsought
Anu nils some time with tune, howbeit shrill
- The cricket tells straight on his simple thought
Nay, Ills the crickets way of being still;
Ihe peddler bee drones in, and gossips naught:
far down the wood, one-desiring dove
Times me the beating of the heart of love;
Ana these tie all the sounds that mix each morn,
With waving of the corn.
From here to where the louder passions dwell,
Green leagues of hilly separation roll;
Trade ends where yon far clover ridges SWELL
We terrible towns, neer claim the trembling soul
That, craftless all to buy or hoard or sell,
From out your deadly complex quarrel stole
To company with large ainable trees
Suck honey summer with unjeaous bees,
And take Times strokes softly as this morn
Takes waving of the corn.

To Cook SoFT-SHELI CRABs.-They
do not require dressing except to wash
well in salt water then fry in plenty OF
butter season with pepper just before

In the matter of salt meat, it should
be remembered that the brine, if it has
been used several times, occasionally be-
comes an active poison, and very dan
gerous.
EXPERIENCE proves that two kinds OF
coffee mixed make a better beverage

It Is seldom that the two parties put in
nomination men of such uncxceptionable
character and fitness as we're nominated
this spring for the city Offices. When
such men are before the people for their
suffrages, the only regret is that but half
of them can lie elected. The very peculiar
fitness of Mr.. Griffith for the Office of Re.
eorder prevented any opposition to him
and both parties united cordially in sup
port Of Dr.. Dorr for Mayor. Oscar Ayers,

other nominee. In the first and second
wards the contest for Aldermen was a
little spirited, but entirely cordial. In the
first ward Mr.. Wilbour was chosen by
some IS majority over Jas. McGra:h, the
popular depot agent. while in the second
ward the vote for Mr. Phillips and Mr..
Rel nsmith was tie, and the candidates

best men In the city. Feeling that under
the circumstances, much would he expect
Cd Of him, he determined to make his ad
ninistrat,on vigorous ami in al respects
q Just one, aud he has done 20. He has
pfomoted the interests and maintained tho
sights Of the city against all oprose:s, &nd
IN some instances he has done it when a
man Of less CONSTITUENCIES and less
soergy would have been overcome and
turned aside from the path Of duty. A
man Of such characteristics always has
enemies and Mr.. French has them, other,
wisc he would have been rc.nominated,
for hs lacked but single vote, and his
defeat may be attributed solely to personal
feeling. II is creditable to him that lie
secepted the situation cordially. He re.

respect for the efficient and faithful per-
Sesmsnce Of its arduous dulles.

Hon. NJ. II. Dunnell has returned to his
home ut Owatontia, congress having adj
jotrned: He hns been one of the most
hard working men Of the past session, and
ty his fellow members lie is regarded as
one Of the Most able Snd efficient. His
judgment upon national questions has
won for him degree Of eminence attain.
ed by but very few members. During
his official service he has devoted himself
faithfully, not only to the interests Of his
constituents but to the welfare Of the
country at large. His action as member
Of the Florida Investigating Committee
was fully endorsed by the Electoral Com.
mission, and his views upon all national
questions l.ave been sustained by the ablest
men of The nation. It is fortunate for
Minnesota to be so ably and so faithfully
represented at so critisal time in public
affairs. Men Of his consequence cannot
escape detraction, nor is it best that they
should. The popular judgment Of their
value can never be correctly formed, con.
corning men whose lack of force and
positiveness have served to keep silent the
tongue of the calumniator! The man who
can successfully Withstand the shock of
contact with the viscious and unscrupu-
lous, has qualities which good men win
appreciate, and such man is Hon. II. II

then run across HE fate. He tried to
catch il with his hand, but it escsped him.
Severe paine beginning u shont from the
shoulder; Sheppard becatflc convinced
that he had been bitten by tarantula'
He then ran up TO the railway track to

an antidote, but unfortunately Robinson
had no whisky on hand. He then return.

Sheppard is 4 stout, powerful man, but
by this time he was nearly exhausted. The
pain had passed from his shoulder down

excruciating agony. A neighbor immed
lately mounted his horse and went to Pue

whisky.
In The meantime, Sheppard returned e
his cabin, and in short time, from ,ht
action of the poison. he became almos
insensiblc, and his body, head and limbs
became fr,ghtfully swollen. In just tw<

bitten, the much needed whisky was re
