We hope the business men of West Point
will not come to the conclusion, because
we do not run about and solicit their pat
FoRage, that we do not want or need it.
We do very much desire and need it,
and believe that we can give value receiv-
cd for every dollars worth of advertising
they may give us. We do all we can to
help the town, aud we hope the citizens
will do all they can to help us. We very
much want hundred dollars worth OF
advertising right away. - Vest Point
Leader.
We have no doubt but what the above
expresses the sentiments of every paper
published in the State. Speaking for our
selves, we say that we are exactly like the
Leader, only we would like to have $500
worth of advertising patronage instead OF
800. Every town is judged by its paper,
and if its columns are blank, and no spirit
of thrift and energy is shown, it is general
" supposed that it is dull place.-Orford
Ealoos, sa~a
All Of which is "a well said as If We had
written it ourself We will not undertake
TO say, however, just how many dollars
worth of advertising would satisfy us; but
% the same we will assure our business
mon that at the rate their advertisements
have come in to date, we will not hollel
enough for some time to come.

Capt. Henry OHara was here last Sat

in high esteem by the people of this COM
munity, and carry with them the best
wishes of host of friends.
Our old friend Capt. Y. Day, of photo

his tent in Monticello. He is a good pho

The Brookhaven leader., 1883-05-31

Within the house alive with noise and din,
There IL one silent room;
I.pause upon its threshold and look in,
To.pierce its shadowy gloom.
/ tread its velvet carpet; in each nook
find some shadowy trace,
Within each soft, deep crimson chair some
look
That brings me back your face.
The very little air that crecps about,
Holds in its faint, light mqan..
As forth aud bayk 1T floats within and out,
Some echo of your tome.
And as pause all startled by the door,
With strained and eager car,
Your footsteps sounding OH the mufiicd
floor
Close by, seem to hear.
Within their stand beside the mirrsr there,
The withered flowers are still.
They almost seem in fancy to grow, fair,
With scent tine room TO ill.
The curtains are close drawn; where oft
be fore
On GLORIOUS mornings bright,
The golden sun through windows wide
would pour
A. Hood Of yellow light.
Hnd when at snltry noon on dreamy days,
Through half-clOsed blinds its CLEAN
Crept i'll in mellowed and soft Swallowed
rays,
Now knows no wandering beam.
And where at dewy eve soft candles shed
Der couch and floor their sheen,
The place is dim; the radiance all is fed,
Aud only hi hit is seen;
And all! how silent has that chamber
grown,
Within these few days past!
How strange, that but one presence FROM il
flown
| SINGH gloom should DER it oast
That one. laugh missed from out the house
hold mIrth,
Should make such sudden change;
That one face gone should leave such wca-
ry dcarth,
Such deep roSrct,-hJw strange!
And yet, within the sunny house ope'd
wide,
One chamber is closed fast,
And creeping down the hall that room
beside,
sigh i'll stealing past
Sigh for the silent stiffness that must reign
Within that empty room,
Until you shall return to it again,
And scatter all its gloom.
