FURTHER ON.

Hath thine heart grown very weary?
Do thy tired hands long for rest
Are the temples hot and thrcbbing
And the lips together pressed
Very heavy seem thy burdensH
Strength TO lift them almost gone2
Bear up still little longer
There Is sweet rekt, further on.
Have thy brightest hopes been shattered
Hast thou suffered bitter wrong2
Hath the wailing sob Of anguish,
Hushed upon thy lips, the song2
Hath thy priceless love been sllghtedH
Is each fond assurance gomez
Lethe comes for every hearta9he;
Bright joys wait thee, further on.
Is 1t hard to be submissive2
Doth the proud soul chafe and cry2
And hot tears fall, all unheeded,
When no one but God is nlgh2
Even yet are broken heart'strings, q
Quivering with music goneH
Murmur not, they'll catch the cadence
OF the lost strains, further on.
Soon the pulse will cease It's beating;
Eyes no longer, shed tear;
Hands grown weary, rest meath daisies
Nothing but grave left here.
But, where come no nights Of anguish
Where no days Of sorrow dawn;
Longings all shall find fruitlon,
In that bright home further on.

PROBABLE sTRIKE-The miners In the TuscRra
was Valley at a meeting held last Saturday at
Gluten, Summit county, passed resolution de-
manding an increase from S5 to 95 cents per ton
Tor mining coal from November 1st on. An an
swer is expected by Friday noon (to.morow) from

which to all appearances 1t will be, general
strike will ensue.

The threatened miners strike in theTuscarawas
Valley has izzled out. The second delegate
meeting was not held at Clinton last Monday
as proposed, Instead Of demanding a ten cents
per ton increase 1t was changed to request and
at some Of the mines not even request for the
increase was made 1t seems that the miners
have scarcely recovered from their late ruinous
strike and do not care to stand another siege Of
like nature. This last attempted strike is said to
be the work Of some few ringleaders.
