OVER THE RIVER

On the banks bevond the stream,
Where the fields are always green,
There's no night but endless day
There is where the angels stay.
There's no sorrow, pain nor fear;
There no parting farewell tear;
There's no cloud, no darkness there,
All is bright, and clear and far.
Flowers Of fldeless beauty there,
Trees of life with foliage rare,
Frdits the most inviting grow
There is where | want TO go.
Harkl hear the angels sirg;
Heavenly harpers on the wing
ThIong The air , and bi me rise
To the music in the skies.
so1n from earth I'll soar away
To the realms Of endless day;
Soo1 III join the ransomei throng
And sing with them redemption IS song.
Pcarly gates stand open wide
just beyond deaths chill ing tide,
There my mansion brightI see
There the angels wait for me.
Esrthly hours adieu adieu
Earthly friends, fare we'll to you;
Softly breathe your last good.byi
Jesus calls me, let me die:
Hallelujlh Christ has comet
HalleluJ1hl I'm near home;
Friends and loved ones, weep no more
Meet me on the other shore.

JOHN S. FORD ESQ, writing from Mil
waukee. Wis. to the Boston Traveller re-
ferring to the Germans and the beer ques-
tion, says:
In the matter Of health. physicians OF
the city who have had wide experience are
of the opinion that the person who uses
beer habituallv is more liable to contract
disease, and less able 10 throw it of, than
one who abstains from its use. A case
recently occurred here of German brew
er who had been heavy drinker all his
life, but who was apparently robust and
healthy, who accidentally stuck a small
silver in his hand Soon after the accident
his arm began to be painful and swollen,
and the pain and swelling extended in q
short time TO the whole body. and resulted
finally in death. The symptoms were
clearly those Of vitiated condition of the
blood, and no other explanation Of the
singular case could be given than that of
the poisoning of the system by long and
immoderate use of lager beer. 1t is also
a noticeable fact that the dead bodies OF
habitual beer, drinkers undergo decomposi-
tion much more rapidly than in other
cases"

The COOP BORA well.dressed boy,
about ten years old, stood on the walk in
front of the City Hall the other day eating
an apple. A ragged urchin, having rag
bag over his shoulder. stood close By and
looked as if he would give hat and boots
for one bite of the fruit. An attache OF
the City Hall noted the situation, and was
greatly pleased to See the lad suddenly
hand over the apple to the envious rag
picker.
'' That's a good boy-that was real
cbarity." exclaimed the gentleman as he
patted the boy on the head. Yes, l fell
sorry for him. replied the boy" and I'd
got down to a big worm-hole, too. ."-De'

MAY
BT John VANCE cHESEr.


When beeches brighten early May,
And young grass shines along her way;
When April willows meet the breeze
Like soflest dawn among the trees;
When smell Of spring hlls all the air,
Ani meadows bloom. and blue.birds pair;
When love first blres her sunny head
Over the brook and ily.bed;
Nothing Of sound or sight to grieve
From ehoiring morn ts quiet eve
Ny heart will not, for all us ease.
Forget the days 10 follow these.
This lovelness shall be betrayed,
This happiest Of music played
From field To iel !. by stream aud boush,
Shall silent be as tuueful now,
The silver launch Of thistles sail
Adown The solitary vale;
That blue solicilude of sky
Bent over beauty doomed TO die.
With mighty mist shall witness mere
The yielded glory Of the year.

THE True SEcRET.-IIow many tnke
wrong view OF life, and waste their ener-
gies and destroy their nervous system in
endeayuring to accumulate wealth, with
out thinking of tine present happiness they
are throwing away. 1t is not wealth or
high station which makes man happy.
MANY Of the most wre;ched beings have
both; but il is II radiant, sunny spirit,
which knows how to bear little trial. and
enjoy comforts, and thus extract happiness
from every incident in life.
A very small actor in Parisian thea
ire lately achieved a great success by very
simple means. In q piece "Ari>top-
hands" now being played al the Chateau
d'Eu, little, boy, almost baby, appears
on the stage for short time. This
performer had his admirers among
the public, one of whom the other day
expressed her approval of the tiny actor
by throwing, not a bouquet but = packet
OF bonbons. at his feet. The little cre;,-
ture, obvious Of the necessity for making
responsive bows or of obeying stage direc-
tons. instantly sat down by the footlights
and began TO devonr these delicacies, while
the curtain falling behind him left him
alone with the audience, who warmly ap-
! preciated the incident.

An EX-OLD MAIDS ADVICE TO GIRLS
But such marriages as mine are not tc
be expected or even hoped for. 1t must
be exceedingly rare for woman of forty
years old to meet man whose age. taste
habits and position make their marriage a
promise of happiness to both. Such 4
marriage is to be gratefully rejoiced over
if it comes, but it is possible 10 be useful
and happy without it. What | mean to
impress on the girls when l write 10 them.
is that they should make themselves able
to stand alone. I'll quote Margeret Full
ler's words on that subject TO them. With
self-support possible, unhappy years in
the parental home and many unhappy
marriages will be prevented. happy sin
gle life will he made possible, and happy
marriage will be more probable. Concise
directions? If give any they would be
like this
|. Don waste any time waiting for
him"
2. Don't spend quite as much as you
earn.
5. To prevent narrowness, master
some branch of knowledge not connected
with your occupation.
4. TO keep your heart warm, love
somebody's children. Ii possible, connect
yourself with their care or education.
). When married women confide their
troubles to you-and strange to say they
will do it much oftener than they confiie
them to each other-don't let it give you
a dark view of married life or of masculine
human nature.-From the Golden Rule.

PLAYING IN THE DIRr.-A wise man
gives mothers this good advice in the
New Haven RegtSter:-" The pest play
thing for your children is dirt This
teaching may not seem orthodox, but it is
true, nevertheless. II is hard to see the
clean dress of the morning wrinkled and
bemired. l! is hard to see the rosy cheeks
and the dimpled hands that we dearly
love 10 kiss. covered with dirt almost
deep enough to plant potatoes. All this
in annoying, but it is almost necessity
to the children's health. The earth is q
good mother. From it we came; upon it
we live; and to it we shall return Chill
dren naturally love the earth. If they
have no little spade they will improvise
one from a stick. and dig in the garden
They will run their fingers in the dirt and
stir it up, breathing the air that escapes.
1t seems TO be almost instructive with
them. Fresh earth is their delight and
mud-pies = luxury. 1t is well to dress
your children in the morning for dirty
work. A cheep calico apron and the
oldest pair of shoes they have should go
on. Lit is ple;tsan, let them play the
whole morning in all the dirt and mud
they like. They will have an immense
amount of fun and come in with glisten-
ing eyes. rosy cheeks and hard. firm flesh

The QUEENS ENGAGEMENT AND HOW
1T CANE ABoUT.-An inquisitive contrbu-
tor to the Figaro (says London corres-
pondent of the Chicago Tribune). who
writes under the name of "lgnatus," has
apparently been diving deep into the Sc
crets of Balmoral and Windsor. Some of
his discoveries would considerably surprise
her majesty, fancy; but. on the whole
the revelations of "lgnatus" are suffi-
ciently sober, and, if unreliable, At least
charmingly recorded The following ex-
tract, in which he tells the story of royal
courtship, is, think, as dainty bit of
writing as any have seen in u paper this
many day:
Certainly. the young queen thought less
of England than of marriage. The min
isters would fain have made her marriage
a sort OF international treaty. Beyond all
doubt, Victoria was the finest match in the
world. The queen, however, was full of =,
host of little projects, ever shifting and
changing, like the little heaps of sand the
children raise in the garden of the Luxem-
bourg. She told her mother that she would
wed with no one whom she did not love-
The Duchess of Kent reported the speech
10 the ministers, who thought il revolu-
tionary in the extreme. Coronation day
came, and the next day the ball ut Wind

A CALAMI1'OUS PARTY.

The platform of the Democratic State
Convention of Tennessee is the most
fearful and wonderful platform fulmi-
nation of recent times. It reminds one
OF the good old days, when politicians
exhausted themselves in ringing and
rhetorical resolutions, modelled after
the Declaration Of Independence, and
laying at the door of the opposite party
all the calamities and wrongs of the age
and all the results of laziness, shiftless-
ness and bad management of the people
themselves.
We could improve some upon this
platform by making it still more sweep
ing and Inclusive" in general and par
ticular. Thus we should resolute:
49thiy.-That the grasshopper inva-
sion and the consequent suffering Of
tho farmers of tha west during the past
few years, Is directly and Indirectly due
to the financial niism2nagement, adj
ministrative corruption and centraliz-
ing hetesy Of the Republican party.
thly.-That the tornatloes, water
spouts, tempests and yellow fever pes
thence, which have destroyed the crops,
the buildings and tie lives of the farm
ers, swept the merchant marine from
the hiRl, seas, and converted our south
eTn cities into rest-houses and Gene
teries, are the result, morally and physi-
cally. Of tile disastrous Astronomical
AID astrological policy inangurated by
the Republican party.

THE STATE LINE MOUNDS.

EDITOR ADVANCE: The heavy rains
and hot weather of few weeks past have
been unfavorable to farmers in our vi
cipity. The wheat crop has probably
lessened nearly two.thirds of what it
promised early, Many fields cannot be
cut at the present time on account of
the wet ground. Stacking progresses
slowly, and what wheat we get is of a
poor quality.
A few grassl,oppers have made their
appearance, but are doing no damage.
They are very feeble and are stragglers
who dropped down one day When the
wind was northwest.
Your correspondent, Chas. F.. Quirk,
of Brooklyn, wishes to know about the
mounds OH the State line. I first saw
them in the fall of 1872. and the conclu.
sion that then Rad was that they were
only State and County line marks. 1
have not changed my opinion SINCE
The west one marks the corner bo,lndry
Of :Osceola and Lyon counties, Iowa.
The East one is on the State line, on u
bluff overlooking the Little Rock
stream, and is s0r ewhat larger and
heater built than the usual State-line
mounds. 1 have heard no other explain
alton Of :hem by any one here.

THE GAME Law,

Parties have inquired of us good
deal lately as to clause of the game law
making hunters liable to $40 tine for
hunting on premises without permis-
sion. The following is the section re-
lating to this matter, as adopted last
winter:
Sec. II. No person shall at any time
enter into any growing or standing
grain, or any enclosed land not his own,
with sporting implements about his per.
son, nor permit his dog or dogs to enter
into such growing or standing grain,
or into such enclosed land, without per-
mission of the owner or occupant there
OF, and any person who shall enter into
such growing or standing gram, Or into
such enclosed land Of another, with
guns, dogs, or any sporting implements
upon his person, without the permis-
sion OF the owner or occupant of such
grain or enclosed land, with intent to
Kill, hunt or pursue any animal or game
bird, shall be liable to il fine of $40 for
such offence, to be recovered by action
before any justice of the peace OF the
county where the offence is committed,
by the owner or occupant OF sl,cl, grain
or enclosed land. But nothing in this
81 cti0n contained shall be 50 construed
as to limit or in any wise to affect the
remedy Of the owner or occupant Of any
such grain or enclosed land, or Of the
person injured, ut common law, for
t:eSpasS,

enough to abolish the distinction of
character which tends to give men in
fuenee. elevation and wealth. There
must be division Of character. -.
And after ts.es first division, the Dea-
mis- Kearney's will probably drink sp
their shate and then favor another d,
vision.
Having succeeded in securing an
equalization throughout, the commu-
njstic millennium, like total eclipse,
will be fully on, and the human race
will retire and sleep for the rest of eter-
nity.

THE COlMMUyISTlO MJLLENTx,3c

THE CUMMUNLSTIO MILLENNIUM
When tho communists realize their
dreams. the fntlle'iiun Will have come.
A writer in the North American Re-
view says there are four distinctions
creating an artificial inequality, viz:
rank, titles. privileges and wealth. The
first three have been abolished by Am
erican Democracy, and the war las be-
gun in earnest upon the fourth one.
Having equs&ized property and got
wealth distributed around equally, it
