Sudden and Violent.

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent
here in the West that few can get
through the winter months without
having a cough or cold of more or less
severity fastened upon them. The
seeds of that dread disease, cOnsump-
ton, are usually sown in one OF these
much dreaded months. Browns Ex-
pectorant is sure cure for the most
violent coughs and colds, and will ar
rest consumption if taken in time.

MORE DEvILTRY.-About O'Clock
on Monday afternoon of last week Mr..
Miles Lowrie, who resides on the Ken
ward place in the southeast part of this
township, found five pieces of bacon
scattered over his premises. He offered
some of it to some cats, they refused to
eat of it. A portion of 1t was brought
to town and analyzed by DR.. Waggoner
who pronounced it to be poisoned with
strycnine. Mr.. Lowrie thinks it the
work of some fiend who seeks to
avenge himself for some fancied wrong
by poisoning his stock.

That manly boy Of ours,

He died the other day,

That opens out to manhood
For such, a wealthy store.
His hand was on the latchet,

But saw few follies there.

Made sure. by love and truth;
He died upon the threshold,
A full and rounded youth.

As gray rose-leaf that Is fading white
Was the cheek where set my kiss;
And on that side Of the bed all night
Death had watched, and on this
/ kissed her lips, they were half apart,
Yet they made no answering sign;
Deaths hand was on her failing heart, ..
And bis eyes said: She is mine ~ as u
] set my lips on the blue-veined I'D,
Half-veiled by her death-damp hair;
And oh, for the violet depths 1t hid, #e...a
And the light longed for thereI
Faint day and fainter life awoke,
And the night was overpsst;
And I said Though never in H. you spoke,
oh, speak with a look at last
For the space Of heart heat outtered her breath,
Asa birds wing spread to nee; -
She turned her weary arms to Death
And the light Of her eyes to me-
The Century.
