MAKE NE A SONG.

Out Of the silences make me song,
Beautiful, sad and soft and low;
Let the loneliest music sound along
And wing each note with wall Of woe,
Dim and drcar
As hopes last tear.
Out Of the sileuccs make me II hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows soft and dim.
Out Of the stillnesses ih your heart
A thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me but one, thou child of art,
The song Of hope in last despair,
Dark and low,
A chant of woe,
Out Of the stillncsscs, tone by tone,
Soft as a snowflake, wild as u moan.
Out OF the darkncsses flash me n song,
Brightly dark and darkly bright;
Let it sweep as lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows of the night;
Sing il sweet,
Where nothing is drear, or dark or dim,
Aud earth songs melt into Heavens hymns

A a0s,OOO LibsI Suit.

The HERALD prOprietors have been
summoned 10 answer the plea Of Mr..
John d. Kline for having damaged his
character as a physiciOn and surgeon to
the amount OF $4,000. None Of the
proprietors or editors have the honor
of DR.. Kline's acquaintance, and don't
know when or how they ever damaged
him, but we reckon 1t 10 q stand.off, for
we don't think be knows either. While
be was ct 1t he might just as well have
sued for q $l00,0O0-we believe that is
the usual amount for which this class
of suits IL usually brought. The
amount OF $4,000 is so much less thar
100000, that the suit has not affected
US very seriously, and the paper will
appear as usual. This is the fourth
time the HERALD has been sued for
having damaged people, but The Com
pany have never yet had TO pay a cent.
II people could make money by SIM
ply suing influential newspapers for It,
how easy 1t would be tor people TO
grow rich, 10 be sure.
DR.. Kline, 80 we have learned, is
damaged thusly by q paragraph we
wrote about his treatment of Miss
Chisholm, who was slightly wounded
in the Kemper riot, but who died.
We didn't know who was her physi.
clan, and 1t is probable that We got
our information from some journal
printed In that portion Of the State.
