WHY THE WRINKLES COME,
Little Bo Peep climbs on to my knee
Little Bo Peep is four years old,
And what hep bright blue eyes don't see
Would need microscope to behold.

Little Bo Peep climbs on to my knee
Little Bo Peep is four years old,
And what hep bright blue eyes don't see
Would need microscope to behold.
She pulls my beard-that's one of her tasks;
She pokes my cheek with her little fat thumb,
Then gazing straight in my face she asks
''What is it that makes the wrinkles Gomez"
Alb, little Bo Peep, you cannot guess
How hard is the question you thus PROFOUND;
1t calls for greater wisdom (or less)
Than ever philosopher yet has found
There was time, my little Bo Peep,
When my face was as smooth yours is now,
When never line or wrinkle deep
Had left its imprint on my brow
time when woke from belrny sleep
To find life always glad surprise;
When laughed as you laugh, my little Bo Peep,
And looked on the world with the same big eyes.
All, well, laughed and loved and grew old,
Working away at life's hard sum,
And half was dross that dreamed was gold
And SO the wrinkles began to come!
Yes, that is the way, my little Bo Peep
AS near as I can tell you now
That is the way the burrows deep
One by one crept over my brow.
When saw the glad, brigh. dreams of youth,
Like the roses OF summer, wither away;
Hucu lcarucu now tHe irdSrdnt HoWer Ol trutD
BY the thistles of fasehood were strangled day
When the faith placed in man was returned
By mans ingrattude, blacker than night;
When the hard and bitter truth had been learned
That might, in this world, too often makes ri ght
When saw the good borne down and oppressed,
The wicked triumphant in their shame,
The Samaritan scorned and the Pharisee blessed
Then, little 30 Peep, the wrinkles camel
But may you in the sunshine forever bask,
So that, when the years shall have made you gray
Some future Bo Peep, gazing at you, shall ask:
"What is it that keeps the wrinkles away?"

wits end to discover plausible defense
in breach-o f-promise case. In such a
plight an Indiana lawyer once found
himself. His client was little hump
backed fellow, as unattractive in man
ners as in person. "Who would marry
such man ?" thought the lawyer, s'and
how could she sue him for refusing p
That thought suggested bis defense, as
the woman, rosy-cheeked, raven-haired
and handsome girl, walked into court.
The marriage contract was proved,
and also that the wedding day had been
set. One white-muslin and two red-cal-
leo dresses had been bought by the in
tended bride. The mother testified to
the wedding feast of one turkey, six
chickens, one ham, and a mess of beans,
potatoes, trrnips and cabbage. There
was also big custard pie.
ST made it myself" swore the old
Lady, Sand though I say it myself, as
shouldn't say it, there wasn't any other
woman in the neighborhood as could
make one Like it." Upon these facts the
lawyers for the young woman asked
S., 900 damages.
The mans lawyer made only two points
in defense. First, that the lady had sus-
tanned no damage, as she could marry a
much better-looking man than his client.
Second, that the dresses would be needed
in other courtships, which would I'M
doubtedly soon take place, and that the
supper was eaten by herself and friends,
and not by his client.
The jury, however, gave her verdict
of IS for the dresses and $3.50 for the
supper.
Swimming.
Every boy and girl should be taught
to swim, and be trained to it. Most
boys learn Of themselves, while the re-
verse is true Of most girls. This latter
fact is grave mistake. The mistake is
more serious than formerly, because SO
large portion Of our population spend
weeks or months every year at our wa
tering places, and because travel on riv-
er, lake and ocean, and sailing in boats
and yachts for pleasure, have increased
to such an extent. For these reasons as
we'll as others, knowledge Of the art
has become necessity. The lives that
were recently lost in consequence Of the
collisions and burning of steamboats,
might most Of them have been saved,
mad all the passengers known how to
swim.
The mere consciousness of ability to
swim, and the feeling of familiarity with
deep water that it creates, would either
prevent or greatly diminish the panics
that are so disastrous in cases Of acct
dents on the sea. Beside this, the ina
bility to swim of persons who are in the
water when a disaster has occurred
greatly imperils the lives of those who
can swim and are abundantly able to
take care of themselves, for the swim
mers are often overpowered by the wild
clinging to them of the luckless per-
sons who are drowning near by. The
time to learn to swim is in childhood
and youth, and every parent shonld see
to it that all his children become experts
in the art. 1t is an easy art to learn.
There are people who live in boats whose
babies even swim like kittens.

Robbery.

On Tuesday night of last week, between
twelve and one o'clock, the safe in the
office at Keystone Furnace was blown
open, and about 800 stolen. The bur-
glar drilled hole in the top of the safe,
near the front, which passed down i'm
mediately in front of the money box, and
the entire front of the safe was blown off,
and hurled across the room. From the
location of the hole drilled, it is pretty
evident that the burglar had seen the
safe when it had been opened in using it.
A man had been around about the fur
mace for week or more, pretending that
he was detective, looking for counter
feiters. He was man some So years of
age, rather heavy set, light complexion,
with the middle finger of left hand off at
second joint. He is suspected of being
the thief.
Timothy ]. Evans, clerk at the furnace,
is township Treasurer. He had been to
Jackson on Monday, and no doubt the
thief supposed that he would take home
with him the township funds; but fortu-
nately he did not settle with the county
Treasurer. The money stolen was the
property of Mr. Evans

residence of DR.. Laird and Mrs. Tyler

tisements of land sales by Vinton Pow

ment that "the Commissioners have pur-
chased a new bell for the Court House,
at cost of $12O." This bell was, more
than score Of years ago, melted by the
burning of the old Court House, and the
pieces were raked out of the debris and
made into rings and trinkets by the boys
of Jackson. John Stephenson was Au-

A Good Joke on Somebody.

Last week we published part of an old
hymn, which Bro. Collier and Ourself
supposed to be out of print. This is a
good joke on both of US, as it is in the
hymn books now used by the Methodists,
and is in our hymn book, and is in per-
haps thousand books in the county.
Not being much of a singer of late years,
we are not familiar with the hymns now
in use, and never thought of looking up
this old hymn, which our dear mother
sang so often when we were child.
In response TO our inquiry, we received,
on last Friday, the following, from Rev.
William Wallace, of Washington town
