No Honey IN His

Ed HERALD: Being the good natured
justice" who defended certain dead-beat
for assault and battery, referred to in your
last issue, l thought l would correct certain
statements in said article First, the bee
tree referred to was neither given nor ten
dered as fee, as took the course pursued
by the legal fraternity-that is, took all the
money he had, with promise of more in the
future. He merely told where he had found
bee tree that any one could have who
wished. This | told the renowned bee
hunter" who after talk with the fellow,
went and found the tree just as described,
only there we're no bees in it nor never had
been. | was not with him to ''drag nv
weary limbs to the highest point, to see the
horseman rapidly disappear in the distance"
Nor were there two men too mad to laugh, -
but only the renowned bee hunter" who
says he sat down on the fence and took a
good laugh all by himself; though it is not
improbable that there was lust enough pro-
family mixed with the laughter to make it
spicy. County JUsrIcE.

The Shadow Of the Man.

Twas summer long ago.
Many times has come the snow
Many times has thawed the lee
since that SUNNI or once so nice.
Aud the school picnic held,
On the air their voices sweiled,
As they gaily. blilhely sang,
While the woods with music rang.
Zen the very birds we're wild
As they cleft the light wind mild,
And with sunlight sparkling DER
White capped waves tina. kissed the
shore.
The clear blue lake lay aud smiled
Like a sleeping infant child.
Once again hear the click,
OF the ball and mallet trick,
In the good old game croquet
That did seem so long that day.
Eight there were of US that PLAYED.
-Four 'gainst four, yes, eight that made.
-Four were boys and four we're girls,
Faces smooth, and braids and curls.
All on fun and frolic bent
And upon the game intent.
just chatter overhead,
Then down round tree there sped
A chipmunk, who stopped at sight
OF as, winked his black ewes bright.
Tipped his head on one side then
just to ask If we were men.
When there came a cruel ball
From slender lad and tall,
With a straw hat iauu ty Sc.
Over hair as black as jet,
And he laughed so cruelty
As it writhed in agony.
One girl cried, "Oh shame for shame |!
He answered, "I'm not to blame,
Did not mean to hit il square
Only just to make it scare"
Then boy with kindly heart
Took the little thing apart
Put is out of agony,
Ended all its misery.
And the play once more begun,
All forgot what passed but one.
She remembered it for years,
Watched to see if just her fears.
And the boy TO manhood grew,
Plead her love and when he knew
He'd won her heart, tossed it by,
Thought maybe that she would die.
She did not die for him. oh, no;
She recalled the long ago;
Thought the boy was just the plan,
just the shadow of the man.

Last Saturday evening at about .alf past
seven o'clock the window at the south end OF
w. j. q Il. Sellick's Office, in the rear of their
store, WAS wide open, the lower sash being
raised to it's full height. Close up to the west
window jam stood the burglar proof safe"
with door wide open, inside OF which was a
shot-bag' containing from twenty-five 20
forty dollars in silver coin. While all the en-
ployes were engaged in the front part Of the
store, some "sneak thief" stepped up to the
rear window and engaged in the business OF
transferring the coin from the bag to his pock-
ess, but being in rather too much of hurry
dropped some pieces, the clink Of which at
tracted the attention OF those inside. A flight
and pursuit was promptly inaugurated. I'm
mediately thereafter wild and extravagant
stories were let loose upon the street about
shooting at and being shot at. E. Martin let
OF revolver, by which bullet WAS planted IN
the hoor behind his counter. Several persons
hastily armed themselves with borrowed re-
volvers, mounted horses, rode furiously out OF
town, and overlook several persons on the
highways who were returning to their homes
from the village. The booty was tempting and
handy to get at. Who the thief WAS is q mys-
terry. The risk was hardly as great as taking a
package from farmers wagon on the street.

One day last week "Jep' Clark was blowing
on Daniel Northrup's farm and getting warm
he took of his vest and hung it on the inside
OF the fence. In one Of the inside pockets
were six dollars in bills, and so he turned his
eye in that direction occasionally. He soon
noticed that Northrup's cow was lingering too
long in that vicinity and going over there found
her contentedly chewing the remnant Of the
vest. He seized the sbreds, but too late, the
greenbacks we're gone. Jep Is now thinking
about going to the proper place and demand
ing specie payments and il that fails, he will
probably in future advocate species of money
that cows can't chew up.-Lawrence Adver-

For The True Northerner.
IT RAINS AGAIN.
For six long weeks the scorching sun
Has held DER here fierce control:
From morn till night has his rays run
Like rods red-h right through our soul {;
whitening NJ, burning the SOIL
Whiting the grasses, herbs and flowers,
Making our feverish blood to boil,
Filling with pain our dreary hours.
The cattle on the thousand hills,
The beasts that roam in the Wild wood,
Have thirsted for the waning rills,
And famished for their part OF food;
The fowls about the farmers yard,
The warblsrs floating In the air,
And all with animal life prepared,
Have suffered, rain has been 80 rare.
But now the clouds have come again,
The smoky sky is overcast,
And to our great relief the ram,
The rain, thank God, has come Of last
Yes, rain has come again; it pours,
1t pours in torrents from on high,
The stormy vault Of heaven roars -
The ours has come for what is dry.
