Lines Suggested by the Deaths i'm 9
S. SfpOmg'S Family.

Death has been here, and who shall say.
Only child taken away.
The only son, the fathers prop.
The mothers stay and cheering hope.
Youngest, the pet. Why should we spare
Our darling, such sorrow must bear?
But hush my heart, did he not hear
Angels calling, the way to cheer?
Listen, see with one little hand
He points to this and that bright band;
Just across to the other shore.
There are my school mates gone before.
A heavenly joy, so sweet, so clear
Lighting his face as angels draw near;
To his playmates here lie leaves a word,
'Come with me" in low whispers heard.
Could we wish for our dear boy more, r-
Oh could we give him richer store?
Ye who doubt to such scenes draw near,
"a little child shall lead" through fear.
We wish him here-this world unclean
Might wreck his soul, he die in sin.
We take him to his quiet rest,
Angels care for cur loved ones best.
Then hasten home, q daughterthere
Is stricken low. Kind heaven spare.
She cannot stay, she too must go.
Our prayers ore vain. Oh bitter woe
The bitter cup is filed again,
Must drink the dregS till none remain.
Is there a God that answers prayer,
Will he not hear our wild despair?
IT'S not despair that gives us rest,
IT'S laying all on Jesus breast;
Yes, trusting him, though he should take
Our children all and blessings great.
Let's go to her and ask her now.
Is it we'll? TO Gods will canst bow?
With beaming face and accents slow,
My Saviour waits, to Him 60"
eff He has work for me to do,
I'll gladly wait, twill soon be through"
To mother spake in cheerful tone,
"Going to Jesus, will you Gomez"
So patient she through all this fear,
And quiet tries each heart to cheer
Oh what is life compared with this,
And what is earth to heavens bliss?

The Liver is the imperial organ of
the whole human system, as it controls
the life, health and happiness Of man.

ton, all kinds of ailments are the nat

THE ILLUSTRATED HISTORICAL
ATLAS OF WISCONSIN,

We hear favorable comments upon
the above State work which has re-
Gently been completed by Snyder, Van
Vechten & Co., Of Milwaukee. It is
now being delivered in this county
and is meeting a kind reception. The
people Of Kenosha county have reason
to be proud Of their showing in the
Atlas; no other county is better rep
resented, and probably no equal por-
ton Of the State can boast as large a
percentage of first-class dairy farms
These thrifty, intelligent farmers are
willing purchasers of this volume. It
is valuable in any family and would
be especially appropriate as reference
work in our public schools. The his.
torical and scientific departments are
of high order.

Los Angeles Co., CAL, has some far
mers who conduct their operations on
a pretty extensive scale. La1kershim
and Van Nuys have seeded 10, 900 acres
to wheat. One farmer has 5000 acres
of barley, another 1900, while scores
have planted over 1000 acres with
grain.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH:-I have been
in several orchards in Kenosha county
and find but little fruit. There is a
cause for certainly 1t isnot frost;
the tenderest vines have not been
touched. The theory that the pollen
has been washed off before the bios
SONS were impregnated cannot be the
entire cause THE heavy winds cannot be
the cause, as trees protected from the
wind have no fruit. On most trees the
leaves are crumpled and blackened
from some cause. / would like to
have some of your chemists to inves-
tigate and see If there is not nitrogen
gas or some element in the air that is
poisonous to fruit vegetation. Z. w.
ROBBERY of three churches in Ra-
cine o week ago last Monday night or
early Tuesday morning is an event of
some note. The churches of st. Joseph
and St. Patrick (Catholic) and Evan
gelical Nutheram were entered and
valuable property carried off or de-
stroyed. In st. Joseph church proper
ty to the value Of about 5000 was Ia
ken or destroyed. In st. Patrick
church the losses were not quite so
great. In the Lutheran they broke
open the box placed in the vestibule
for receiving aims for the poor and
probably got only few dollars. For
the several hundred dollars worth of
yaluables taken or destroyed the rob-
bers will probably not get over $25, as
they will have to melt them before
disposing Of them. The mode of en-
tering all the churches was alike and
was by cutting out a pane of glass, re-
moving the latch and raising the Win
dow. It is thought all the churches
were entered by the same robbers and
that they were old hands at the bust
ness.
