Willie grasped his fathers hand, for he
was too much elated to speak, and he ran
ava y to tell his tale of love to the girl Of
his heart. Jcanie had long loved Robert
sou in secret, and they were not long in
settling the matter. They forgot in their
first moments of JOY that old Saunders had
to be consulted, for they had determined To
take the old man with them. But here an
obstacle occurred Of which they had not
dreamed. Old age is selfish, and Saunders
obstinately refused to comply with their
wishes. The grave that held the remains
Of his wife and son was dearer to him than
al! the comforts promised to him by the i'm
patient lovers in that far foreign land
.)eanie wcpt-but Saunders, deaf and blind,
neither heard nor saw her grief, and Ikea
dutilul child, she brcathcd no complaint to
him, but promised to remain with him until
his head rested upon the same pillow with
the dead.
This was sore anI great trial to Willie
Robertson, but he consolcd himself for his
with the thought that Saun-
dcrs could not live long, and that he would
so and prepare a place for his Jean, and
have every thing ready for her reception

LIGHTS AND SHADOWS.

"Into each life some rain must iall,
Into all eyes some tear-drops start,
Whether they fall as n gentle shower
Or drop, like fire, from an aching heart.
Into all hearts some sorrow must creep,
Into all souls some doubtings come,
Lashing the waves Of life's great deep
From dimpling waters to seething foam.
Owe, all pathways some clouds must lower,
Under all feet some sharp thorns spring,
Tearing the flesh to bleeding wounds,
Or entering the heart with their bitter sting
Upon all brows rough winds must blow,
Over all shoulders cross must be lain'
Bowing the form in Its lofty height
Down to the dust in bitter pain.
f.ts all hands is some duty thrust,
Unite all arms some duty given,
Crashing the heart its dreary weight,
Or lifting the soul from earth to heaven.
Into all hearts and homes and lives
Gods dear sunshine comes streaming dowp'
Gliding the ruins of life's great plain
Weaving for oil the golden crown

that the plaintiff and defendant were part

bought out the defendant and gave his note
for the interest, and the defendant paid for
the note by delivering to the plaintiff a
COW, which was warranted not brcachy )
and the warrant was broken by reason Of the
brcachiness Of the COW. and the plaintiff
drove the COW back and rendered her to the

again, an put heavy yoke or poke upon
her, to prevent her jumping the fence, and
the COW attempting to jump the fence, by
reason of aforesaid yoke or poke. broke her

licve that the defendants interest in the
grocery aforesaid was not anything. the

Is The CIRCUS IMMoRAL.-A country
editor says, after discussing the question all
winter. he comes to the conclusion every
spring that the circus is immoral; but
when the bill poster comes along with the
big pictures, his miud changes. He adds:
AS we gaze at the lions, tiger and monkeys,
and think that nature made all OF them we
are not sure. And when We look at the
beautiful young lady, with nothing on but
blue ribbon round her waist, with one leg
pointing to six o'clock and the other to
high noon, and think that nature made her,
too, except the ribbon, We begin to lean up
to the circus But when the brass band
begins to play, and the elephants go round
we rush for front seat to get in ahead OF
the deacons, who always wear stoveplpe
hats, and won't sit down in front.

The Public Schools to BE Closed.

POSSIBLY AS EARLY AS MAY lST.
The District Commissioners have been busy
all day with Auditor Finson in going through
the accounts of current and necessary expendi-
lures of the District, to ascertain the exact
condition of finances before deciding what
action they will take in relation TO closing the
public schools. From present indica'i ions it
looks as il they will come to the conclusion
to close them peremptOrily on the lSt
of May, and without the ten days
notice promised the committee of the school
board some weeks since as that time has been
enCrOached upon by the unexpected delay OF
action by Congress The accounts of the diff
ferent funds. and estimates of the probable re-
ceipts of revenues and probable amounts ne
ceSSary to carry on the government between
the present time and the first Of the next fiS-
cal year, are being carefully examined and

morrow before the Commissioners will be
ready to decide.
the schools running the full term, and will not
issue the order to close until convinced of
their inability to meet the costs. Superinten-
dent Wilson and trustees Lloyd and Smith,
were at the Columbia buildings today, to dis
cuSS the action of Congress yesterday, and the
prospects for keeping the schools open. but
the Commissioners could give them no definite
answer.
They are all of the opinion that there is very
little hope, and think il an order to close is
necessary, that it should be given-at once. and
not JeOpardise the funds for the next fiscal
year by deficiency which might be incurred
In running the schools any longer at the
present time.
At2:30 o'clock Mr. Auditor Vinson thought
for 4 continuance were very cloudy and that
the schools will have to close.
