FROM the LedoeT.
Born Of the metal and the FIRE.
They bore me from my raging sire.
And made me Of the city's choir
Which angs IN free air only;
And here since then I've patient hung,
Silent, untouched; but, being swung,
Giving my voice with iron tongue
Alone, but never lonely.
The hermit OF the belfry here,
Cclled In the upper atmosphere,

To all the listr ming people,
With none my speech to check or mar.
Sending my utterance near anu TAR.
With sonorous Dang and sudden jar,
shake the slender steeple.
I ring the chimes for the bridal day:
toll when the dead are borne away;
clnng when the rcd flames rise aud play
On cracking roof and rafter;.
T! tell the hours Tor the steady clock;
And back and forth In my work rock,
And sink to silence after.
Here by myself In belfry high,
Pecpiuy through bars at earth and sky,
Aud moe king the breezer sweeping by,
And back their kisses tiinginx,
chiuie for smiles, I toll for tears,
] herald news and hopes and fears,
As have done for many years,
And never tire of ringing.
From place OF vantage, looking down
On yellow lights AMI shadowS brown
which CLINT and tint the busy town
With hues that CLEAN, and quiver,
I ace within the streets below
The human currents crosswise now,
Eddyiny, surging to and fro.
An everything river.
And when the twilight slowly crawls
Der slated roofs and hricken walls,
And darkness on the citv falls,
Aud dcws the flags besprinkle,
watch the gloom around me creep,
No dense III. silence. dense and deep,
The very highways seem TO sleep,
But for the gasiiglts' twinkle.
Or DAY or night there meet my gaze

The meshcs OF dreary maze
Where men are ever vending;
One day n rest for them tnny SEC
One day IN seven: but IA for me,
No time from call OF duty free.

The God Rattan.
From the NeiD York Clipper.

From the NeU FORK Clipper.
Rip.S0. Hot was an angular dame
OF the province Of Yang XII SunR,
And with her neghbors, death.ss fame
Kept green by her treless tongue.
Late aud early. early and late,
Her stridcnt Voice was heard
Taxing the air without rebate
With NO soft tome 10 mitigate
The sting OF her gentiest word.
Rat Tan Yah was her only son--
Rattan his name for short
No more given to froic and fun,
And nschievous tricks than many one
or the festive Mclean sort.
But every day the peevish dame
Would tan fier ofspring's hide
With n torturcsome instrument, much the same
As her tender Joy and pride.
Rat Tan Yah yelled with might and main
In time with his mothers tongue,
And he Tailed for every mark OF cane
But not on his brow-with . yswp OF pain
That echoed throughout Kifung.
About the sge OF twelve or no
Rattan had wan~n tough,
And answered not the cutting blow
WIN ~ h' Sn Of palm or .ysSwp OF woe;
In silence for three dolesome years
But neither with cries nor yells. nor tears
So by tradition the fact appears
Would hint OF the pain he bore.
One summer day Dame Rip,so-Hot

Rattan took note that she did not
Pepper his ears with the red-hot shot
She used to pet ut him.
And no more beat his parchment hide
In time with her tireless tongue;
But silent nOped by the fresidc
From early morn till eventide;
And there was peace In Yang ki.fung.
Rattan In n corner sat alone
Aud wiped his weeping eyes.

Said the dame In u strangely gentle tone
IL was hard to recognize.
4" I weep because alas. I fear
That you are growing weak.
Your hand has lost. mother, deart
Its cunning. and the neghborn near
Can hardly hear you speak"
Again he wept and begged that she
Would try her voice once more,
And let the bamboo whistle free.
So that both voice and cane might W
In concert ~ before.
With this rare show Of hliAl love
Rattan surprised the dame,
Who, quick her gratitude 10 prove,
With voice like that OF cooinx dove,
Gave TO the switch his name.
Because tho youngster kissed the rod,
As seldom mortuls do.
China reveres him ~ . god
This tricky, sharp, SambooLlinR fraud
And his hateful nsinesake. too.

The while he led them up the height to feed
And heard him merrily pipe upon his reed,
And mock the echoes from yon rocky steep.

PETIT LARCENY.

On returning home from Humboldt
last Saturday night, Mr.. 10. Hotten-
stein and family found that their hired
man, Chas. Ere, WAS missing. They
also discovered that a suit of clothes,
- watch and a number of other things
"too numerous to mention" were also
missing. Suspecting that the iepar-
ture of Mr. Ere had something to do
with the disappearance of the property,
Mr.. HOttenstein came up to lola the
next day and notified Thee. Strickland
of the facts in the case. The marshall
immediately took the trail and sue
ceeded in oyertaking the thief, little
the other side Of Colony. The fact
that his valise contained all the stolen
articles, helped Mr.. Ere to plead guilty
when brought before his honor, Judge
Christy, on Monday, and he was
promptly sentenced to 80 days in the
county Jail. Those who complain
about the delays of justice, will not
find an illustration Of it in this case, as
it was not three hours after appear
ing before the court until he had begun
serving his sentence. The man is evil
IDENTIFY new hand at the business, for
he took number of articles of no val
ue, and of no possible use to him, such
as Il toy trunk, some candy hearts and
other little toys and triDkcts.

RUNAWAY.

Quite a serious runaway occurred last
Sunday IL. 4 son OF Mr. D. &. Neer who
was driving into town accompanied by
Mrs. Robinson and little girl, When
about opposite VIM. Davis residence
the team became unmanageable and
ran wildly down East street to the pn5-
lie square, then south, across the high
boSgd walk between Klauman's build
ing aid Beck's foundation, then west
again directly across the block into
Washington avenue, where they ran
into sign post in front McClure's
store, and were finally stopped. Young
Neer and the little girl were thrown
out when the buggy struck the walk
near klauman's, but strangely enough,
escaped without serious injury. Mrs.
Robinson chung to the buggy until the
team reached Washington avenue,
when it made short turn and she
was thrown to the ground. We can
not lealn the extent of her injuries.
but they are feared 10 be pretty sari-
ons. The neck-yoke and the tongue
Of tie buggy were broken when the
team ran against the sign post; but in
spite oftile fearful shocks it sustained
in being dragged against the high
side walks, the vehicle was not other
wise damaged. 4 fact that can only
be explained by saying that it was
manufactured by Knapp i Co.

ick county Md. Oct. u, 1872. His par
ents removed to LOulOn county, Va,

there To Belmont county, Ohio. Hs
lived in Ohio until the year 1859 When
he started, with his family, 10 Kansas
settling on the Pottawatomie near
Lane City. After living there little
more than q year, he came to Allen
county and settled near lola, where he
has since resided. Up to two years
ago, the deceased had always enjoyed
robust health and was very vigorous.
A stroke Of paralysis about that time
however effected him seriously and he
failed rapidly, being very feeble at the
time ofhis death. Although long eN-
pected, his death was very sudden.
He had gone out to the front gate for
walk, when the family heard him call
for help. They carried him into the
house and laid him down, when he cx-
pircd in a few moments, without IL
The remains were Inferred
