DR.. NJ W. Duvall was thrown from
his horse last Friday and was very badly
hurt. His friends don't think there is
any chance for his recovery. Drs. Rains

his recovery yet. He has many friends
and is well thought OF by all who know
him.
A little boy Of John Z. Ferguson was
climbing after a squirrel last Friday, and
fell about fifty or sixty feet and broke his

4 Dream.

81 slept nnl dreamed that life was beauty,
woke and found that life was duty"
Being weary in body and mind, threw
myself upon my couch and soon Nor
pheus threw his fascinating charms about
rue and swiftly bore me to the land of
visions.
bchcld life arraycd in all its beauty
as the misty wells of the future seemed
drawn aside,
| saw many persons wandering DER
the broad fields of space, trying TO gath
err in.from "Flora's ieweled casket" the
richest gems-joy and gladness.
Toathtul buoyaucy IN the horizon OF
lite, is ever Iingcd with golden dreams OF
beauty; fancy paints upon the canvass OF
luturity, glowing colors-but alas. how
often it is, they are never reI'izsd
raw myriads of radiant beings, fair
brow, beauty and happiness beamed
from their counleuances, and it seemed
rs il every thought was pure and hea,-
emily. dreamed that if their fond I
hopes were realized, they would glide DER
the arena Of lite like the gentle moon
beams, shedding rays of love, kindness,
and beauty on all surrounding objects.
There was in the happy company |
saw those of all ages, the innocent chill
dren as well as those OF mature life. 1t
seemed to me that the "Pcnrly Gates
would indeed be thrown open upon their
entrance to Heaven. Sweet zephyrs of
every CLINE played among each lcafirt OF
nature, and flowers difIusing sweet odors
bent idly TO the soft music of the mur>
mering fountains The rays of the bright
rising sun rcnetratedthrough thecascm Mt
still damp with LunarS dewy tears and
awoke me to find that all was dream
aud heard "still small Voice" echoins
through the dim aisles OF the past
Human pilgrimage is not dream"
Life is real as well as earnest, but we
should realize that we are travellers on
the sands of time, and that life has duty
as well as beauty, and that Jewels were
not made to he concealed in the casket
forever. II is an undeniable fact. that
without the performances OF our impor-
tant duties, we will neither have wealth,
fame, nor honor. The battle OF lite has
TO be fought, and il not courageous and
armed, to proceed forward, our names
will never be enrolled upon the records
of times honored chronicles. We can
not live by iuaction, Newton, who wrote
his name among the stars, did not.
Washington was n man OF action or he
would never have liberated his country
from the chains of oppression.
1t will not do for us to imagine thai
our pathway through life will be q
smooth and flowery road, if we ID. We
will find in the journey that we often
rise to mountain tops and again descend
into the valley. Our life is like the
beautious sky studded DER with starr,
gems, but before we have time to admir-,
it, flash from heavens artillery covers
the blue concave. The cup of joy is
mixed with sorrow all along the stream
OF human life.
Thus it was that dreamed in youth
that life was beauty. but awoke in ma-
ture lie and found that life is duty.

The only regret We have in not be-

stature is, that we wanted TO pass a
law making il a felony for a man to be
ever and eternally croaking about hard
times. See a man from any part of
the county, and ask him the
news, and with an elongated
countcnance and A cracking
voice, he RESI- onds-"Hard times, and
WIS a comm" Long faces, peevish
grumbling and gloomy brOws make
hard times. This everlasting cant
about hard times, and fOrebOding of
evil for the future, make times harder
than they otherwise would be. 1t
causes the miser 10 clutch his purse
strings tighter, and it prevents the
iimid frum putting into circulation
money that otherwise would be chang

him out of your community. Load
your shot guns with cheerfulness, put

Pro Bono I'ubiIc0.

There ARE, In all localities, a class of
people who seem TO think that every
thing was created FOE their especial
hrheft, aud that they are not expected
iu share any OF the burdens and respon-
sibililies of a public nature. To make
town or community prosper, the citi-
zcni thereof must work together for the
public good, and he who Is 50 selfish,
~ mean rs 10 refuse 10 contribute his
quota for the general good; but ready
10 avail him-elfuf the advantages, aud
gather the fruits of other mcu's laborS,
Is unworthy the name of man. His
soul is 80 little, that If placed in the
hollow of mustard seed, filled with
water, and allowin, that it could swim
as fast in prppurtion 10 size rs loco
motive can run on a railroad, it would
take that soul thousand years to swim
across the diameter of that mustard
seed. Hartford has whOle-sOuled, pub
lie spirited men, but not quite enough
Of them, and, we are sorry 10 admit,
she has several Of that class who aim
Go steal the advantages that are devel-
oped and IAaccl in reach lIy the enter
prise Of others. We had rather be a
Carrion Crow, and subsist on the raw
ayes Of an internecine war in our own
land, than TO feel that we had never
assisted in promoting the prosperity
aud public welfare of the community
in which We lived. Everybody should
become interested and labor for tho
good and prosperity of his section OF
country, for by so doing he pro
notes his own interests as well as that
Of his neighbors. Those who do moth
ing for the public good should surely
expect no favon from the public, and
ought not to receive any. They ought
10 be allowed to remain in their little
shell Of selfishncss all alone, and patri.
otto, philanthropic men ought not to
intrude upon them in a business way at
least. We have no one in view in
particular, and surely malice toward
no body; but, if our town is ever to be
anything, every man in it ought to see
that hereafter at least he is not one Of
the class wanting in public enterprise.

A StranPa Story.

Reports come from theineighboring town
of Milton of the discovery of a poor, half
witted man, who is supposed to have been
rendered lmbecile by a blow inflicted by his
father in a drunken brawl some seventeen
years ago. The story goes that at that time
a man named Joshua Fields, his wife and
five sons lived In a hut near Granite bridge,
In the old town of Dorchester. After the
family quarrel referred to two of the sons
were missing. Many people believed they
had been murdered, and the covering up of
an old we'll strengthened them in the be-
lief. Since this affair occurred the family
have lived in that part of Milton called
New State" On Friday last one of the
sons died, and a lady assisting in the pre-
parations for the funeral is alleged to have
found confined IN a room in the house, a
poor, half-wltted fellow naked, with long
hair and beard, who was readily associated
with the long missing Joshua, Jr. The se-
lcctmen were informed of the facts, and on
Monday Col. Russell, a member of the
board, called at the house, where he found
the man sallow in complexion from long
confinement, with a nicely shaven face and
cropped head and neatly dressed. The
family assign no reason for having kept
him concealed all these years, but old resi-
dents are said to adhere to their former
opinion that the one eon was murdered and
his body thrown into the well, and the 9TH
er missing son received injuries which pro-
duced idiocY.
