zensshere on account Of her relations with
cellars, it was only business transaction
that brought her here.
She Is lady whose face bears traces of
trouble, and has the air of ono who has
been an Inmate Of refined circles.
Public opinion is somewhat divided as
tc the true state of this unfortunate affair
but the most advisable course has been
pursued as 10 the disposition of the crimi-
nal procedure we think, There are many
surroundings that public policy demands
to be kept from print If !ilial affection
and womans love has prevailed above the
cold truthful facts, no one here can tell. A
higher tribunal than that Instituted by man
will pass upon that. But this community
seriously appreciates the sad effect Of such
deplorable affair in their midst.

"WORK WHILE YET IT'S DAY.

Sit not with idly folded hands
And moan that life so empty seems,
For see, bleeding Saviour stands
To rouse from thy useless dreams.
Go, 10 my vineyard there is work
He says, for each and all to do,
The earth is full of SINS foul murk,
60 let the golden sun shine through.
There's many a struggling rine
That needs thy kindly, culturing csre,
Go teach their tendrils how TO twine
Around the CROSS, SO wondrous fSir.
Go to the haunts Of vice and sin,
Where woe and uenury abide.
Garry the blessed gospel in,
And ope Its treasures free and wide. ..
In mountain paths and dark by-ways.
Lost lambs arc straying in the cola,
In the hedges aud the highways
Many are wand'ripg from the fold.
60 work all through the days and years
What e'er thy hand shall find to do;
A Gracious Cod will dry thy tears,
And every morn thy strength renew.
But work while yet tis day, for soon
The night will spread its sombre wings,
And lifes sweet Tyre grown out Of tune
will cease to sing Of heavenly things.
When night doth come no mon can work
Though whitening fields demand hts Gaze,
Then if the father call him home
How scant and mean his shesves appear.
