To have good schools, our children are too few,
And - we have 10 soour the country through,
To find some brave and self denying soul
To take our iedglings under his control.

The lofty work Of ntng men for heaven,
by teaching them 10 act their part earth,
And show what real human souls are worth
lie might have been lawyer, with name,
High on the scroll Of bright forensic fame,
An advocate to plead the doubtful cause,
OF such spurn restraint defy the lawsi
Perhaps a Congressman, and he might
Have shared the plumbers. and kept out OF sight
who knows but that he might have been king,
His realm the caucus, his body-guard the nng2
lie might have been q doctor, dealing pills,
And getting patients ready for their willis
A preacher snugly lying in the mould
The fathers made, his plant mass To hold,
And might have known how sweet Is liberty
To see things Just AZ other people see
Instead OF these, he chose 10 give himself,
In spite of toll, in spite Of tempting pelf,
To fashioning for llfes great ends,
In forms where strength with peerless beauty blends
our girls for Wogsen, aud our boys for men.
Confined within no narrow mountain glen,
hut floating far, on all the rushing tides.
Where ralcar rolls or gallant vessel rides
Our -tllwart spauldng and his helpmeet grand
Have spread themselves O'cr all our teemng land
Their children, and their ohildren's children crowd
The homestead, ON a day like this, a cloud
OF witnesses, to bring their tribute here.
In whom their solid virtues reaploar.
o Time, tread lightly where the silver spreads
Keep fresh the garlands round their honored heads.

L.. dearest L., love thee well,
Better than any tongue can tell;
For thee Id toll both night and day,
And at thy feet my trophies lay.
I'D sail the ocean DER and DER,
And gather riches from each shore;
I'D seek for gems from pole to pole,
And at thy feet I'd lay them all.
If | was lord of every land
Siberia snow, and Arab sand
And had all nations at my call,
ia crown thee queen, yes, queen of all.
I'D conquer obstacles untold,
And rob the hills of virgin gold;
I'd pluck the stars down from above
10 make crown for thee, my love.
The lOveliest place on earth would be
A horrid Hades without thee;
And yet, with thee, know it well,
I'D find a paradise in j.
The fumes and smoke of that dread place
Would be made bright by thy sweet face,
And the arch fiend himself would be
The first to kneel and worship thee.
All that ask forever more
Is thy sweet image to adore;
Thy lovely form know will be
My idol through eternity.

The Eclipse.

| By the hour of high noon OF Monday

our population, both great and Small, was
armed with smoked glass collected from
scrap heaps, back yards and deserted lofts,
and anxious enquiiies were being made By
many as to what time the eclipse would
commence. The sky was clear, the ait
fine, and not too warm; desirable posi-.
tidts were sought to witness what inany
had never before SEEN, total eclipse 1T the

the most elevated place in town, was Sc

for convenience and comfort The follow

Three front rooms. one 16X20 and two

streets, with a nice picket fence in front,
the building presents very fine appear
ance, and is another Of the nice residences
adjoining our town. We are glad to note
the enterprise and public spirit OF our lc-
gal friends, and trust many more will see
proper to follow their example. and build
homes here that any person might well be
proud of.
The erection of this building shows a
determination of the owners to remain
permanently with us, and that being the
case, the gentlemen are more appreciated
than if they had tried to get what money
out of the community they could and
gone elsewhere to make their homes.
