The Lightkeeper's Daughter

Never a talrer maiden lived
Than bonny, blue-eyed Alice;
Her hair was like the datfodils
Her brow like lily 5 chalice.
Within the lighthouse, from a babe
She'd dwet and known no sadness.
But eyry night dreamed happy dreams,
And woke each day to gladness
And closely crowdug round her home
The spirits of the water
With many a shell and sea plant rare
And ocean Jewel sought her
For brighter far than sun or star
They held the keepers daughter
But sailed ship from foreign lands,
Aud a handsome lover brought her:
He came to see the lighthouse grim.
And saw the keepers daughter
The eve the wedding DAY was set
Her fathers face was couded
And cen the light that burned on high
Seemed half in darkness shrouded
And sad the wind moaned when the maid
Ot her Old friends bethought her
And leaning from the door looked ont
| pom the moonlight water.
Where whispers low went to and fro
Anent the keepers daughter
Farewell " She cried when night is gon
shall no longer tarry.
But HE to town, at early morn,
NV own true love to marry
And bending low kiss She threw
'GOod by. my waves forever
But ah , though passed the night away.
Her wedding day came never
For from the flashing. Slyered foam
hlte arms reached up and caught her,
And drew her down to dwell among
The spirits of the water,
They could not bear TO part with her

YOUR LAST CHANCE.

The extraordinary advance in prices of
almost every kind of merchandise, fol-
lowing SO closely upon long period
when values have been depressed alb
normally, leads me to address you these
few lines.
Pig iron that we paid $500 per ton
for last year, is now scarce at $4,000 per
ton, an advance of over one hundred and
ninety per cent. Whether the present
prices for materials can be maintained or
not, is subject on which opinions may
differ; but no one expects in many years
to come, to see prices as low as they have
been. This one fact must be apparent
to you, that We can not pay present pri-
ces, without a considerable advance on
our selling prices beyond what they now
are. l have not, and do not now propose
to raise my prices to the standard of
present prices Of materials. Favorable
purchases made early in the season, per-
NIT me now offering you my goods lower
than I shall be able to offer them if the
prices of materials remain where they
now are.
Stoves were thought to be very low
last year with pig iron at $500 per ton.
II / now offer stoves as low or lower with
pig iron at $4,000 per ton it must be o.
favorable time to buy.

indications their number will not be very

THE Automatic Bridge Barriers, con-
structed by Beck & Whitman, attached
to one end of Eight Street bridge have
on Thursday Nov. 90, stood a test which
fully proves their efficiency. A team
belonging to farmer, having become
frightened, in the neighborhood of Tru-
mans mill, became manageable, and
ran away, taking their course along Quay
street around Drinks corner and down
Eight street upon the bridge. Here they
received check. The bridge being
open, the barriers were in their respec-
tive places, barring the approach. The
horses seeing this swerved to the left and
in SO doing one of them struck the bar
rier with its breast checking their prog
ress completely. They new began to
back but were soon under control. Were
it not for the barriers the team with the
two men would have gone into the river,
and the men as well as the horses prob
ably have been lost. -

MEME.

Nearly all the items of any Importance
are gathered up by the industrious cor
respondents of the Chronicle before W.
have time to get into our ''sapctum" t.
chronicle single event, but we think
as matter Of courtesy, they ought tc
allow US this opportunity at least.
Messrs. Walker and Smart made us @
brief call last Monday. The former was
looking after the educational interests Of
the county; the latter was looking after
Uncle Sans prominent supporters.
a man named Melcher living in south
western Meme, or Sheboygan county,
was killed by runaway team in the city
OF Sheboygan. His funeral took place
last Sunday and was largely attended.
James Clark, of Liberty returned
home from the wooks last Saturday. He
is row laid up with sore arm.
1t appears that the satchel found in
the river, in Manitowoc, belonged to q
young man named Jas. Morris, of Lib
erty. He was at work in the numbering
woods and was taken sick and started
for home. And from all accounts should
have reached Manitowoc about the time
the satchel was found. 1t is now believ-
ed that he accidentally fell into the river
or was attacked By robbers and thrown
in. However, there is no certainty of
this, and it is hoped that no such mis-
fortune befell the young man.
Mrs. Hope, of Liberty, has been taken
very i'll, and is now in such a dangerous
condition that there are no hopes of her
recovery.
The teachers meeting of last Saturday
was attended by all of the leading spirits
of the place, and if enthusiasm is any
criterion of the success OF a meeting
then this one was q success. 4 debate
took place in the evening, but some of
the speakers were so chock full of the
subject during the day that all their en-
beavers to suppress theif eloquence were
useless. An occasional outbursG would
come from one side which was rigorous
ly counteracted by volley from the
other side until some who were more
prudent began to think that the subject
would be exhausted when the proper
time for the contest came. But after all
this preliminary skirmishing some eIo-
quent appeals were made in the evening.
The affirmative succeeded in bearing
off the victory, but still were not satisfied
until they had taken off the keys of the
hall. So that the negative were left to
extinguish the lights, pick up the orator.
ical gems they wasted in political parties,
and then guard the hall until morning.

THANKSGIVING was spent in the usual
way in this city this year. Business was
generally suspended and the people I'M
animopsIy applied themselves to the
pleasures of the table, and signs of sat
isfaction if not prayers of thanksgiving
issued from all lips. In the evening the
pleasures of sense were heightened by
indulgence in the light dance. There
were a number of balls given and all
were well attended, ana Judging from
the expressionssof satisfaction heard in
every hand on the day following all were
highly enjoyed.
