We sing Of Heaven, all far away,
That shines with one uI.sullied day;
OF realms where SORROWS never rhe.
50 lar away beyond the skies;
We ask 70 reach that golden cline,
To leave our lot on esrtl Aud time,
To soar away and be at rest
In soul and spirit swCetlF blest;
But think and know to faith sincere,
There il no sense OF sorrow here
For God has made our p 'eseut stale,
And placed the world at Heavens gate,
And lie is here 10 al tbs lives,
And tie 70 all is being YES:
And lie il il that gudes cur lots
And we by Him are ne'cr forgot;
lie knows our need, our want, our cry,
He knows and comes with lull supply,
Then how can We our sta ion lcar:-
To faith there is no sorrow here
What He may will Is JOY indeed,
What lie bestows, cur utmost need.
No sadness then the Father sends.
Our very hardships are our lends,
Our losses trials all His Iaind,
And bear a blessing swee, and Kind;

Eut como and THE assurance know,
so long as Cod is good an dear,
To faith there is no sorrow here

A Great F1sHER.-A majority Of the mem

A GREAT FISHER A ma ority OF the mem
bers of the sazarac Lying Club are out in the
hills hunting or up on Reese river fishing,
and it is hard to get quorum. But the
regular meetings are held, nevertheless. Last
night the discussion turned on hunting and
fishing, and nearly every member had related
some startling personal exploit with gun and
rod; and the President was about to mention
that it was powerful dry, and that an adjourn
ment to the bar was in order, when the mem
Der known as cold Reliable" spoke up. He
said the greatest fisher he had ever seen was
over in Virginia City whats his nameF
asked member who is particularly proud of
his angling. "Why the great Comst tor
Fissure, Of course" was the reply. The
President ruled that such trifing was out of
order, and administered a rebuke to Old
Reliable for his levity, and hoped in future
members would confne themselves TO the bus
mess in hand.-R. r. ReoeiNe

TX Marvel writes about summer on farm
who miss the dinners and lack the courage
should never atfront tho summer on farm.
Yet for sensible people there may be worse
ways of passing'a summer than in mating
themselves with tho actualities of that life
which, with all it's drawbacks, is of such vital
consequence to SO many who make up our
body polite. Vines and roses and green
fields may greet the eyes of those who find
enjoyment at the great hostelries, whether by
the seaside or at inland resorts but summer
on farm implies something more and some
thing less More of nature, and of those
who deal with it at first hand; and less Of the
refnements of civilization and of those who
live under their influence. He adds: The
fewer the reminders of the city that are car
ried with one, or the fewer that are liable to
beset one, the more refreshing will be a two
months sojourn amid the investments of
farm life. For days and maybe weeks to-
gether our e1iles may see no passing save the
passing Of country teams; they can study no
fashions on Sunday; over and over, empty
minds that depend for regalement upon the
changing aspects of town life will vote the
whole thing dull; but, over and over, and
day by day nature is unfolding to an obser-
want eye her piquant mysteries of growth.
The young people can replenish their plant
collections and add to their pretty array of
insects; while the practical knowledge of farm
operations which may come of watchfulness
and occasional, not too fatiguing handling of
the implements of farm craft will be worth all
it will cost of time. to say nothing OF the
bronzed healthfulness and sturdiness that will
come with it.

Mr.. Neal Dow writes to an inquiring friend
that the Maine liquor law is not failure
quite the contrary. TO the best of his knowl
edge and belief, there is not a hotel in Port
land or in the State of Maine that sells strong
drink to its guests, The City Marshal Of
Bangor told him last month that he did not
know of place in the city where liquor was
sold Mr. Dow does not himself know of al
open bar or barkeeper within the limits Of
Maine Several convicted rumsellers are now
serving out terms, varying from six to twenty
one months, in the jails The traffic is en-
tirely suppressed, except in few of the larg
est cities, where he says it is confined to ''the
lowest and vilest part of the foreign popula-
ton. There has never been time, in Mr.
BOWS Judgment, when the policy of prohibi
ton was more firmly established in the pub
lie opinion of Maine than it is to-day; and
he thinks that liquor selling will soon be
made felony

PROFESSIONAL TEAMPs.-A few years ago
professional tramps were unknown in this
part of the world; now the towns along the
railroad are overrun with them. They pre-
tend, while begging for something to eat, to
be in search Of employment, but work is the
last thing they want to find. John Jurgens,
who is building malt kiln and making other
additions to his brewery had occasion to hire
several men making adobes etc. He sur
prised the professional tramps who visited
his place to beg and ask for work by giving
them a job, and in one week furnished
twenty four of them with all the employment
and in fact little more than they wanted.
Not one of the twenty four would work; they
preferred tramping and begging to earning
an honest living by working for it.-Silrer

ROBBED.
N. Harris store in the Odd Fellows building
was robbed some time last Saturday night of
clothing and jewelry to the value of about
$3.50. The stolen goods consist of % pairs of
boys and young mems pants, nine pairs of
mems pants, three pairs OF mems boots, six
or seven dozen red figured cotton handker-
chiefs and a number of gold rings, some Of
which were plain, some set with stone and
some with heart Also five boxes Of pocket
knives The burglars had handled over some
fine gold watches which had been taken out
of the showcase and put in box behind the
and went so far as to detach one OF
the gold chains from the watch, but for some
reason decided that they would not take them.
The entrance to the store was effected by
the bricks between the window sill
and the iron shutters which left an opening
about nine inches in depth, through which
they gained access to the G lass windows and
the lever which locked the iron shutters. 1t
was then an easy matter to open the iron
shutters and raise the window and proceed to
plumber. An old fashioned kingbolt to &
wagon with one end sharpened, was used to
remove the brick and was left where they had
finished work No one has thus far been able
to indentify the iron, which seems TO be the
only chance for clew to detect the trans

tuh1 uc Was ~ New AdS6uy SOuU.,
with Judge Billings.
A telegram was also received
from Judge Billings, announcing
the same fact, and requesting the
immediate presence of United
States District Attorney Lacey to
consult him on the Calcasieu log
question.
In response to that telegram
the United States District Attorney
will leave the city on the early
train this morning for New Haven,
where be will represent the interests
of the United States government
before Judge Billings at chambers,
and it may be possible that the
Calcasieu logmen will be repre-
sented ut the same time and place
by Gen. L. A Sheldon, and pos
sibly by Mr.. Brice, and within
week or ten days at the furthest.
THE LOG QUESTION
will be practically settled.
1t is learned upon authority that
the United States marshal has
completed an inventory Of the logs
in and about Lake Charles,
that were originally seized, and
the seizures yet to be made
will be inventoried as fast as pos
sible, in order that every facility
may be afforded the log men for
bonding, while at the same time
the United States authorities will
see that the interests OF the gov
eminent are fully protected.
From recent Investigations by
its agents, it seems that the De-
partment of the Interior at Wash
inton labors under the impression
that the government is being
defrauded annually out of million
or SO of money in the
SYSTEMATIC LOG DEPREDATIoNs
upon government land all along
the Gulf coast, and statements
from a reliable source lead to the
inference that steps will be taken
with the next few days to put a
stop to depredations of that al
legged character in this State.
/, is learned, too, from semi
official sources, that an expedition,
consisting of nearly a dozen dep
uty United States marsh ale, left
here last night for Pearl River,
where they are to make quite u
humber OF seizures OF logs, claimed
by the authorities to have been
cut from Government land, and
other expeditions are. it is said,
being quietly arranged for other
points in this State,
From conversation which
occurred at the Custom House
Yesterday it is inferred that
A SYSTEMATIC MOVE
is To be made by the Government
within the next few weeks upon
ali points on the Gulf coast, where
the depredations have occurred,
the representatives Of the Govern
msnt here claiming that by this
move further eDcroarLments or
" poaching" will be summary |
stopped.
Kumor has it that Col. Carter,
special agent, has been called to
Calcasiea by . telegram from
United States Marshal Wharton,
and will leave for that point this |
morning, when, after completing |
bis business there, he will devote
bis attention to matters in another |
direction.
