Il am tired; let me lie down here in
the shade Of the oak trees. where the
murmur OF the brook will bring me
sweet dreams.''
These were the last words Of Edward
Randall, All obscure Vermont poet,
who died recently, poor and friendless,
in his unpreten1ions cottage among the
hills that guard the banks of the White
river. Although it was winter and the
hills were bare; although it was near
midnight and the storm was raging
without. the tired soul, in wandering
fancy, saw the summer, and felt the
silent beauty of a sultry day. Worn
out with years of longing, and unappre.
ciated tOil, he sank away to slumber at
the end Of life. with visions of the past
when hope was strong, seen through
the openings Of his flickiring mind
Austin Transcript.
Not bit Of use in poet dying that
way. No use in living in a garret and
dying poor and friendless. Randall
should have taken country newspa-
per, cleaned out all his enemies, built 4
new Office, and when he expired, gone
up.in blaze Of glory.

THE NEW FORK BOYS
The Rock Rapids Review, in making
mention Of the New York boys dis
tributed ~ this place, makes a great
mistake us to their character. For
boys, their department was all that
could he expected. AS yet no bad re-
port has been brought in from any that
were placed III homes in this county,
while, Oh the Contrary, very encourage
ing reports have been received from
quite q number, showing that they are
not only well behaved, but are willing
| to work-Wl'ich can't always he said of
''home-made" boys, us the Review
styles the native boys of this country.
1t all the boys brought out from New
York are as well behaved as those
brought here, it is safe to say that
there will he large demand for them
il this western country. We do not
impute to Bro. Sheppard any intention
to wrong these boys, or the society that
sent them ont, but then his idea in last
weeks Review did great injustice.
