NO TIME FOR HATING.
BY A. J. H. DUGANNE.

Begone with feud! away with strife !;
Our human hearts untnating! vas
Let us be friends again! This life
Is all too short for hating!
So dull the day, so dim the way, ~
So rough the road we're faring-5 s 3
Far better veal with faithful friend.
Then stalk alone uncaring!
The barren fig, the withered vine, @
Are types of selfish living;1 saE IS
But souls that give, Alike thine an mine,
Renew their life by giving.
While cypress waves DER early graves,
On all the way we're going,
Far better plant, where seed is scant,
Than tread on fruit that's growing.
Away with scorn! since die we must
And rest on one low pillow;
There are no rivals in the dust
No foes beneath the willow.
So dry the bowers, so few the flowers,
Our earthly way discloses,
Far better stoop, when daisies droop,
Than tramp DER broken roses!
Of what are all the joys we hold
Compared to joys above us;
And what are rank, and dover and gold
Compared to hearts that love uss
So fleet our years, so full of tears,
So closely death is waiting;
God gives us space for loving grace,
But leaves no time for hating.

The Missouri Railroad Robbery.

THE CRITIC on Saturday contained II
graphic account of the railroad robbery in
Missouri ON Friday night. Tho following
accounts Of eyewitness will be read with
interest
Frederick Henkel was in the smoking
car when the attack was made. His account
of the affair agrees with those already given.
He adds "As soon rs the train was in pos
session of the robbers the passengers jumped
down on the floor and some of them under
the seats. The express messenger William
Murray, deserves credit for his pluck The
robbers shouted to him to open the door of
his car but he persistently refused. They
fired thirteen shots at him. but none took
effect. When they did break in they found
him hidden between the coal-box and sam
pie trunk. They struck him twice on the
head with their rcvolvers, but said they
would not kill him because Of his grit
The passengers all cndeavored to hide away
their watches and money. One of them-a
Chicago drummer-put his valuablcs in
the water cooler. i wrapped mine in my
pocket handkerchief, lifted the cover of a
spittoon laid it in and put the lid an again.
But the passengers were not molested."
John T. Wright, of Atchison, says: 'The
outlaws fired into the express car and Or
dered the messenger to surrender, but he
said If they killed him they could have all
the treasure in the safe, but he wouldn't
give anything up. They then broke open
the door with an axe. They fired thirteen
door aven while tbev were tearing at n
with the axe. and thew finally rot him
down hy str;t ;ny him over tho head with
their rcvolvers when thew rot into the safe
