money in its treasury, and there is talk of rails

James A. Aleshire was born and raised
near Jackson He was one of the ablest
school teachers in the county. AS a sol
dier he was brave and true. He was a
warm friend and an honest man. He
studied law and commenced practice
He then commenced drinking. During
the time he was Mayor OF, Jackson he
was half drunk most of the time. OF
course he disagreed with his wife. Most
drunkards do. Some two months ago he
attempted to poison himself. He sent for
US, and promised never to drink any more
if we would not say anything about his
conduct. He then sobered up, and at
tended to his cases in Court. Since then
he has had trouble with his wife again
and she left him.
On last Saturday Mr.. Aleshire left town
and now attachments are out, and his
property is seized. There are all sorts OF
reports, that he has forged the names OF
his father, brother, and others, and that
he has collected money for clients that he
has not paid We know nothing of the
facts.

MY TREASURE.

"Whosoeoer therefore shall humble hil
self as this little child, tie same is great
IN the kingdom Of heaoeaa. Matt. 1s4.
There's a flashing of dimpled fingers
Before the hearth-stone bright,
And picture of childhood fingers,
And plays in the glaring light;
And the little hands
Weave golden bands
Around our hearts tonight.
Now through the light advancing,
Patter those little feet;
And see the shadows dancing
Over the face so sweet;
And the bright eyes beam
In the fre-light's CLEAN,
AS their merry glance 1 greet.
With love that knows no chilling
[ look for that sunny head
And, my heart with rapture filling,
I list for the merry tread,
. And the noisy play,
At the close of day,
When the suns last rays are fled.
The life of that little treasure
Is a sermon, pure, to me;
And I look with a bound1ess pleasure
On the bursts of childish glee-
For the Lord of Heaven
To her hath given
An angels purity.
Oh that the guileless beauty
That round our childhood plays,
Might keep us true to our duty,
And brighten our fading days
When the shadows fall,
And the angels call,
We may live with God always.
