Brooks 4 butcher, we learn that seven build
ings were destroyed by fire in Woodman on
Sunday night last The railroad depots,
warehouses and the freight stored in them,
the postofice and building belonging to Ad.
kius were all burned fbe destruction is said
to be undoubtedly the work of an incendiary.
II is reported that attempts were made to
burn other buildings, which failed. We have
not heard estimated the value OF the
loss but it is very heavy for a village Ike
Woodrnan. It is said that gang of sneak
thieves have for some time infested that

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Iflaughter is the daylight Of the soul, smile ia
| its twilight
By bestowing blessings upon Others we entail
them on ourselves.
Danger should be feared when distant, and
| braved when present.
To give pain is the tyranny of beauty TO make
happy is her true empire,
Patience is virtue which some people think
everyone needs but themselves.
The froth ofthe head not unfrequently becomes
venom when it reaches the heart.
The miser lives to die rich, and is the goaler Or
his house, and the turnkey of his wealth.
The mind that busies itself much with the fu-
| ture has need to be an uncommonly cheerful one.
Thelight in the world comes principally from
| two sources-the sun and the students lamp.
Riches do nothalfso much exhilerate US with
their possession as they tOrmentus with their loss.
The worst hearted OF enemies is often less to be
dreaded than the most kind-hearted of friends.
You may speak out more plainly to your assocla-
tes but not less coureously than you do to stran-
gers.
botFoN
the friends Of their kind, ask them what sort Of
kind that is.
The death smile is the grandest thing in the
world. ltmakes the dark Past an arch Oftrlumph
into radient Future.
You can't get anything in this world without
money some say; but this is not true, for without
money you get into debt.
It is but step from cunning to knavery; lying
makes the whole diherence-add that to cunning
and it is knavery,
Stay awake in church. 1t Is shame for the
church to be made cemetery, where the living
sleep above ground as the dead do beneath.
When we find ourselves more inclined to perse-
cute than persuade we may be certain that our
zeal has more of pride in 1t than charity.
Those who would render their charities useful
should judiciously diffuse them. He who would
have good crop must SOW with hishand, and not
pour out of the sack into one heap.
Many who would not for the world utter false
hood, are yet eternally scheming to produce false
impressions on the minds of others, respecting
facts, characters, and opinions.

CAssIUs AGAINST CESAR.

Honor is the subject of my story:
cannot tell what you, and other men
Think of this life, not being mind-reader,
But for my single self had as lleve not be,
As live TO be in awe Of such thing as myself;
And after you have ta'en good square look at me-

Having been ushered into the world
North Of Mason and Dixon's line;
So were you; we have both fed as we'll,
And we can both endure the winters cold,
And get along without chest protector well as he
For, once upon a raw and gusty day,
The troubled Tiber being in high rafting stage,
Caesar said to me-"Cassius, will bet you
Two dollars and half you will not leap with me
Into the angry flood, and swim to Hunters Polntw
quicker than you could have said
j. Robinson Crusoe accoutred as was,
plunged in and bade him follow me!
And so, indeed, the snOOzer did
The torrent rOared and we did buffet it;
With lusty sinews throwing 1t aside,
And stemming it, with hearts of controversy,
For in those times two dollars and half
Were not picked up every day,
But ere we could arrive the point proposed,
Caesar weakened, and cred-"Help me, Casslus.
I've got a cramp in my left legl"

Did from the flames Of Troy,
Upon his shoulders the old Anchises bear,
SO, from the waves of Tiber, did the

Become god, and thinks drumming for Governor,
While Casslus is still wretched tramp,
And must bend his body
If Caesar carelessly but nod to him
He had the fever and ague when he was
Canvassing for book in Spain;
And when the chill was on him
1 did mark how he did shake
And how like an endman's bones
His teeth did chatter 1 could have told
Him that quinne and whisky
Would knock the chs higher than

No; rather enjoyed the situation.

What hen roost doth this our Caesar patronlze,
That he hath grown so great?

A good egg will sink in water.

COhIANlON9 ON lIE hOADs
Llfe's mllestones, marking year on year,
Pass ever swliter as we near
The final goal, the silent end
To which our flted footsteps tend,
A year once seemed century,
Now like day II hurres by
And doubts and fears our hearts oppress,
And all the way Is weariness,
All me how glad and gay we were.
Youths sap In all our veins astlr,
When long ago with spirits high,
A happy careless company,
We started FORTH when everything
Wore the green glory Of the SPRING
And all the fair wide world was ours,
To gather as we would It's flowers
Then, life almost eternal seemed,
And Death dream 80 vaguely dreamed,
That In the distance scarce II threw
A cloud shade on the mountains blue,
That rose before us soft and fair,
Clothed In Ideal hues Of air.
To which we meant In aiter.tme,
Strong In our manhood's strength to climb.
How all has changed Years have gone by
And Of that Joyous company
With whom our youth first Iourneyed on,
Who-who are leit9 Alas, not one
Love earliest lotered on the way,
Then turned his face and slipped away;
And after him with footsteps light

And all the careless Joys that lent
Their revelry and merrlment

Hope falterlng then with doubtful mind,
Began TO turn and look behind,
And we, half questioning were fain
To follow with her back again.
But Fate still urged us on our way
And would not let us pause or stay.
Then to our side with plantlye eye,
In place of Hope came Memory,
And murmured Of the Past, and told,
Dear stories Of the days Of old,
Until It's very dress seemed gold,
And Friendship took the place Of Love,
And strove in vain for us to prove
That Love was light and insncere-
Not worth mans regretful tear,
Ahl all in vain-grant twas cheat
Yet no voice ever was 80 sweet
No presence like to Loves who threw
Enchantment over all we knew
And still we listen with sigh,
And back, with fond tears IN the eye
We gaze to catch glimpse again
OF that dear place-but all In vain.
Preach not, o stern Philosophy
Nought we can have, and nought we see,
VIII ever be so pure, so glad,
So beautiful, as what we had.
Our steps are sad-our steps are slow
Nothing is like the long ago,
Gone Is the keen intense delight
The perfume faint and exquisite
The glory and the ailluence
That haloed the enraptured sense
When faith and love were at our side
And common Life was deaed.
Our shadows that we used to throw
Behind US, now before us grow;
For once we walked toward the sun,
But now, Life's full meridian DONE
They change, and in their chill we move,
Further away from Faith and Love.
A chill is in the air-no more
Our thoughts with joyous impulse soar,
But creep along the level way,
Waiting the closing Of the day.
The Future holds no wondrous prize
This side Deaths awful mysteries;
Beyond what waits for us, who knows?
New life, or infinite repose?
