\ REMARKABLE POEM TO WHICH THIRTY
EIGHT POETS CONTRIBUTE LINE EACH.
The following very remarkable little poem is
a contribution TO the San Francisco Times from
the pen of Mr.. II. A. Deming. The reader will
see that each line is a quotation from some one
of the standard authors of England and Amer
lea. This is the result of years of laborious
search among the voluminous writings of thir-
weight leading poets of the past and present.
The number of each line refers to IFS author be-
low:
l. Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour?
, Lies short summer, mans a flower.
,. BY turns we catch the vital breath and die.
4. The cradle and the tomb, alas. so nigh.
). TO be is better far than not to be.
g. Though all mems lives may seem tragedy !;
:. But light cares speak when mighty griefs
are dumb,
$. The bottom is but shallow whence they
come.
8. Your fate is but the common fate of all;
10. Unmingled JOYS here no man can befall
H. Nature to each alots its proper sphere;
II Fortune makes folly her particular care.
49, Custom does often reason Overrule,
A. And throws a cruel sunshine on fool.
10 Live well; how long or short permit to
heaven;
1G. They who forgive most shall be m st for
given.
H. Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see
IS Vile intercourse where virtue has no place
-. Then keep each passion down, however
dear
20. Thou pendulum betwiXt a smile and tear.
81 Her sensual snare> let fathiesS pleasure lay
% With craft and skill to ruin and betray.
D. Soar not too high to fall, but >toop to rise,
n We masters grow of all that we despse.
% Oh, then, ren0unce that impious sclf-es-
teen.
Do Riches have wings and grandeur is dream.
-. Think not ambition wise because It's brave.
Is The paths Of glory lead but to the grave.
% What is ambition: lis glorious cheat
30. Only destructive to the brave and great
81 What's all the gaudy glitter of crown:
b. The way of bliss lies not on beds of down.
49, How long we live not years but actions tell
81 That man lives twice who lives the first life
wen.
3d. Make, then. While yet you may your God
Y ur friend.
81. Whom Christians worship, yet not compre
bend.
b. ThetruSt that's given guard. and to yourself

}S For live we how we can. die we must.

A number Of alleged newspapers
throughout the country are comment

Mr.. Blaine that he is not candidate for
the Presidency, us if he had come to that
conclusion since the recent elections. As
early as last July Mr. Blaine freely stat
ed to personal friends that he was not an
aspirant for the Republican nomination.
Indeed, such a statement appeared in
newspapers in August. Consequently
there was nothing in the result Of
the November elections to change Mr.

"Diligent in Business"

Last Saturday Geo. Townsend made q
delivery of implements which he had pre-
viously sold. Some ofthose sold had been
taken by the purchasers the day before, and
the weather for corn planting being favor
able, a few purchasers did not come. OF
those who did come 45 were treated to a
well prepared dinner at the American
House. Mr.. Miles, of Warder, Busnen &
Glessner, and Mr.. ]. Allen, General
Agent tor the Champion Machine Co.,
were present Many new sales were made,
and altogether about 5000 worth of i'm
plements were handled, only including
such as farmers have not needed to use yet
this season, as the Champion Binders,
Reapers, Mowers, Buckeye Cultivators,
Hoosier and Buckeye Grain Drills and
Horse Rakes. This is good showing and
speaks well for the business enterprise Of
their agent, Mr.. Townsend, who has lately
come to Wellington.

AS did the Ohio Congregational Con-
ference in Akron last week. so, too, at the
same time, the Southern Ohio Episcopal
Convention, in session at GAINESVILLE, rec.
commended the formation Of Divorce Re.
form League. Other denominations will
be asked to cooperate in this movement
and the Legislature will be petitioned to
revise the divorce statutes. The need is
apparent in the fact that Ohio now has
more than one divorce suit to every seven
marriages. The Secretary of States Re.
port for 1881 shows that for the year en-
braced in that report there were 2S,56t
marriages, and 4,141 divorce suits brought
and the 1882 report shows 4,557 divorces
and 3O,523 marriages. Perhaps if the cler
gymsn would follow the suggestion of &
writer in last weeks New York Indepen
dent and refuse to marry divorced people
it might help to check this growing evil

BRADY AND DORSEY, in spite of their
pretended brazen effrontery, have already
lived long enough to discover that riches
procured by theft, particularly when that
theft is detected and exposed, are worse
than worthless. By this time they are both
convinced that character is worth a thous-
and fold more than all the gains that can
result from pursuing tortuous ways or from
the robbery of even so opulent an employer
as the United States government. Cropped
hair and striped apparel they may escape,
but go where they viii they cannot escape
the mark which has been placed upon them.
Their names have been made a synonym
for infidelity to public trust and for q sort
of dishonesty of which il man is morally
convicted he cannot again raise his head
among honorable citizens.-Minnesota

THAT the annual loss to the farmers of
America from the lack of hard, smooth
and dry roads is immensely greater than
the taxes they have to bear, local and gen.
eral, can be easily shown. That they have
the remedy for this largely in their own
hands is undoubtedly true. That they will
unite in demanding the making of such
roads as are needed is to be devoutly hoped.
The people of the cities and towns may not
feel that they should be taxed to help pay
for Improvements which would inure di-
rectly to the benefit of the farmers alone /;
but the consumer can scarcely fail to get
some benefit from a work which will les
sen so materially the cost of food by reduc-
ing the expense Of placing that food upon
the market-Medina Gazette.
