Failing Leaves.

Where the welcomed snow-drop peepin.
Whispered Spring awakes from sleeping
Where the primrose. maiden pure,
Nestled mid her leaves secure;
Where the violet, sweet and shy,
BlossOmed meath kindred sky;
Where the flush of Summer noon,
Brooded Ger the rose of June;
Where, in golden Autumn weather,
Fruit and flowers grouped together,
Rich in royal Natures dress -s..~
Glowed in lavish loyeliDess; tl..,
Everywhere in dale and wood,
Ger blighted bloom and withered bud,
While the gray cloud DER them grieves
Gather fast the falling leaves. ..
Where young pulses sprang to life;
Where the bold will dared the strife;
Where sweet first love, trembling,
shrinking, ...li
Present, Past, and Future linking,
Wrapt two hearts In fairy dreams;
Where true souls noble schemes
SCARED to happy thoughts of giving
To the poor and lowly living;
Where in the dazzling distance showing
In fancy richest boons bestowing,
Lurlng youth DER gulf and bar,
Fame's proud shrine shone fair and far !;
While Fate looks on, and Time bereaves,
Hopes fall as falling leaves.
I ct meath each russell rustling heap,
Roots form fast, and blossoms sleep,
sheltered in the kindly mold,
From the bitter, biting cold,
the flowers we prize so we'll.
Hide till April breaks the spell,
And calls them forth to glen and plain,
TO prank the joyous earth again.
80, oh weary heart and hand,
Mourning for the changed or dead,
Trust and wait. Our Masters rhyme
Says, my faith is large in time;"
70 some benignant purpose yet
Work, wrong and loss aud grief and fret,
Patience her perfect end achieves;
Trust in the life beneath the leaves.

The Seven Bibles of the World.

The Seven Bibles Of the World.
The seven bibles of the world are the
Koran of the MOhammedans, the Tri
Pitises of the Buddhists, the Five Kings
of the Chinese. the three Vedas of the
Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scrip
lures of the Christians. The Koran is
the most recent of these, dating about
the seventh century after Christ. 1t is
a compound of quotations from the Old
and New Testaments, the Talmud and
the Gospel of st. Barnabas. The Eddas
of the Scandinavians were FIRST publish
ed in the fourteenth century. The Pit
kas of the Buddhist contains sublime
morals and pure aspirations, and their
author lived and died in the sixth CEN
tury before Christ. There is nothing of
excellence in these sacred books not
found in the Bible. The sacred writings
of the Chinese are called Five Kings, the
word "Kines" meaning web of cloth.
They contain the best sayings of the best
sages on the duties of life. These say
ings cannot be traced further back than
1l00 years before Christ. The three
Vedas are the most ancient book of the
Hindoos; and they are believed to date
not beyond HOO years before Christ.
The Zendavesta of the Persians is the
greatest of the sacred books next to our
Bible. Zoroaster, whose sayings it con
tains, was born in the twelfth century
before Christ. Moses lived and wrote
the Pentateuch 1900 years before Christ,
therefore that portion of our Bible is at
least 300 years older than the most an
cient of other sacred writings.

Reform Of the Jury System.

In the November Century Albert
| Stickney asks: 'If the Jury System a
Failure?" and makes suggestive and
striking argument to prove that it is
I He advocates radical reform by sub
.stituting a permanent jury or court OF
judges for jury of laymep., OF the ori-
gin of the jury system he says, in part:
This whole system of trial by jury
never was anything but clumsy make
shift. In its origin, the jury was not a
1 court of justice for hearing causes, but
only a feudal court of the lords vassals.
These yassals first became something in
the nature of a judicial body merely for
the purpose of deciding disputes as to
! landed estates or feuds; and in deciding
these disputes they served mainly as
witnesses to facts within their knOwl-
edge. and not as judges to hear causes
on evidence. The court of vassals was,
in time, converted into something like a
court of justice, but merely for lack of
any better machinery. No doubt the
jury system was an advance on the
methods it superseded. Trial by jury,
as method of ascertaining the truth, is
something better than trial by battle.
It answered very well for the simple
Transactions of rude race just emerg-
ing from the fighting era of existence.
But how does it serve the needs of a
great working people in this nineteenth
century? This system of having law
suits heard by men who know nothing
of law, this mixing of one lawyer with
twelve lSymen and calling them court,
is about as sensible as to try to drive
wild elephant and a thoroughbred in
double harness. The combination is not
a useful one. Need it be said that this
marvellous mOnstrosity is the morgan
attic device Of that grand old laundering.
synthetic. English people, which, in af-
fairs of state, always insists on adapt
ing old machinery to new uses, which
tries to convert an antique feudal tin
pot into the cylinder of a modern legal
locomotive, and which produces as its
masterpiece in political machinery that
wondrous, thing called parliamentary
government, where a minister is put in
the War Office because some other men
have been outvoted in Parliament,
where he gives bis time to general leg
islation instead of to army affairs,
where he resigns from the War Office
because he has blundered in the legisla-
ture on some measure concerning the
Irish Church, or Irish landlords, but
keeps his seat in the legislature, where
he has made his blunders?

Eakins, the Late Windsor Res.
taurant Nan, Again Comes
to the Surface.

During the thirteen years which the
paper published for the people now on
earth" has been printed, many persons have
imagined they have been injured BY publ
cations made, and las they claimed. without
cause. OF this number is Norris Eakins. q
young man who recently conducted a res
taurant at Windsor, and whose brutal
treatment of bis young wife was shown I'D
in these columns few weeks ago.
He came 10 Sedalia on receipt of the
paper
WITH BLOOD IN HIS EYE,
and wanted a retraction This he received.
but il was not Of the nature desired, and he
threatened libel suit. He returned home.
and few days thereafter sold cut his
business and returned with his wife. who
was then at deaths door, to
his home at Union CITY, Indi-
ana, where the last scene in the life drama
was enacted some two weeks ago.
He married at Union City, clandestine-
ly, a beautiful young girl not vet sixteen
years of age, and with her he came west
to seek his fortune, locating at Windsor
While residing there
HE INCURRED THE WRATH
Of large number OF persons by his con-
duct, and it was evident to all that he was
gradually causing the life of his young
wife to waste away. This was the cause of
the BAzOO's article.
On returning to Union City. he took his
wife to the home of his parents. where he
intended she should remain for a time,
although her parents also resided in the
town. The latter, on learning how Eakins
had treated bis wife in Missouri, insisted
that their daughter should come home to
them, where proper care would be be-
bestowed upon her, and
THE CHANGE WAS MADE.
At that time she was very low, and her
death would not have occasioned surprise
at any msment; but, Notwithstanding this,
Eakins left town and went on wild goose
chase through the county, winding up ut
Darke county, Ohio. His
parents learned that he was there, and 40
the wife was growing gradually weaker,
they telegraphed for him to come if he
wished to see her alive. To this summons
he paid no attention, and q second message
was sentshin,, but still he came not. The
calls of the young wife for the absent one
were
PITIFUL IN THE EXTREME.
She seemed to have forgotten the wrongs
he had heaped upon her, and only asked
that she might see and bid him farewell
before her spirit took its fight to its
Maker.
Eakiu's father hereupon interested him.
self in the matter and made q trip to
where he met his son and COM
PEELED him to return TO Union City,
the brute was averse to so doing.
On arriving there on Monday he visited
he sick woman, and on Tuesday she died,
and was buried on Thursday, the 18th
inst.
The above facts the BAzoo learns from
an unquestioned source, and that Eakins
should receive the condemnation Of all
good people, there is not the shadow Of
1oubt. The only trouble with the BAzoo's
ist article is that it did not give Eakins
,ne- half the scoring he deserved.
