Laughed out 70 so Us coming.

Like spar u fame the cardinal flower
Burned out along tho meadow,
Into our hearts the bllthe wind blew,

Anu az thing laughed In the happy earth
FOR the pure, sweet ioyoi living.
Two Ioamed With their eyes allght,
And their hearts too stu for laughter,

Looked neither before nor after.

But one PTalSed GOd from trembling heart
That the shadow Of pain was over.

smith shop of John Thomas, on Bridge
street, and requested that some repairs
be made to their wagon. While the work
was being done, Mr.. Thomas noted that
they appeared to be in a great hurry
When it was finished one of them got it
and said the other one would pay for it
Mr. T. waited quite while for his mon

toners they were gone. He started in
search of them at gait that would have

and had Rowell seen him he would have
at once surrendered his belt, but still he
could not find them. Meeting Mr.. Geo.
W. Bunce of the Commercial, who hap
pened to be taking drive, he told him
of his trouble. Mr.. B. suggested that
perhaps the dear departed had gone to-
wards the ferry and that they should fol-
low. They did so and arrived at the riv-
er just as the parties they were looking
for were about to cross. Mr. Thomas in
timated in very emphatic terms that what
was due him should be paid without any
1elay before they proceeded any further
on their journey. and wanted to know
why they had gone off without paying
him. Their excuses were not satisfactory,
but as they handed over the lucre and
the expenses Of his ride they were allow
ed to depart in peace, and Mr.. Thomas
returned we'll satisfied with his success in
making this collection.

Russell's patent hand fire engine.

The many friends of j. L. Russell, of
this place, will be glad TO know that his
patent hand fire engine, which has attrac-
ted much attention wherever it has been
exhibited, is now being manufactured in
large quantities. Our attention was
called to one at the depot the other day
1t weighed about $50 lbs, and could be
easily handled by two or four men. 1t
had a in. double cylinder with an 8 in.
stroke. With two men operating it and
using 200 it, of hose and 81 in. extern
sion nozzle, it could easily throw 100
gals. of water per minute over any bull
ding in town. By attaching another hose,
twice the quantity of water can be thrown.
There is reel fastened on one end which
will carry $50 feet of hose 1t will take
the water from any well or cistern, or if
one is not convenient Fit is so arranged
that the water can be pumped from the
tank which can be filled with pals. It is
manufactured of the best of iron and has
brass stop cocks. Its size is convenient,
as it can be taken through any door 2 it.
6 in. wide. The price of this engine is
$1OO. There is no doubt that when the
merits of this invention become known
it will prove very profitable to Mr.
Russell.
The recent fires at Shakopee, Farming
ton and Duluth warn all property holders
that they can not be too well protected
against this destructive element. Would
it not be wise for the village council to
ascertain the views of our citizens about
purchasing one or more of these engines?
