Fifty to-day. How the years 20 by
Both with cares and Joys well strewn,
There's an Infants cry, the shout Of q boy;
And next, man full grown.
The parents, who guided our childhOOd'a
steps.
Have long since been laid away;
There are children to brighten Our home,
but we are the old folks to-day.
Yes, the years go swiftly and silently On;
Some full Of sorrow and pain,
And some, SO full Of hope and JOY.
They make uH young again.
"But God Is God to the sOrrOwing,
ny night AZ we'll AZ by day"
And our tears shall be dried forever
When he wipeth them all away.
And II another year we See
Roll In the ages past,
May there be no sad repininXa
For Joys that could not last
May there be no painful heart thrnbs
For the golden days misspehi,
Or base ingratitude to God
For any mercy sent.
We are getting along to the time " life
When childish sports ana ways
Are only memories Of the past
OF early. happier days
We are getting along where tho rosy
or life are not 80 bright,
Where the "Orb of day" has turned to
meet
The coming hours Ofnight.
For the hours OF night will surely come;
The sun will sink to rest.
But to risO again with u newborn light,
Flooding mountain and oceun crest;
'Iis q beautiful sight when the King Of
day
Drops the sable mantcl Of night.
More gorueous tho, when ut midday
The monarch Is clothed In light;
But gra ndeL far when the purple tints
Soften the crimson hue.
And white, tieecy clouds enhance the
scene,
As they float away in blue.
y, II Is with the life that has nobly borne
The burden and heat Of the day.
For the soul has grown purer md fairer to
see,
Tho the body has gone to decay.
On. may 1t be ours to resemble the sun
In his glorious onward way,
And the night of our life be tho best Of
our life,
Tho we've had n long bright day.

The place of these gentle
gifts could not be more hap
PLY described, we are sure.
1t is the popular sense of this
very fitness that will keep
the card in favor long after
the mere fashion Of the Gus
tom has waned. Tokens,
though, are likely to take the
place OF the more costly
cards where they can be got,
for they appeal to a higher
aesthetic sense; but the diff
Guilty is to get such as we
mean, significant and deli
cate, with a dainty touch OF
art.
Easter gifts Of bisque are
of a different nature. The
smaller of them are but toys;
and the more formal belong
rather to extravaganza; too
costly tor SO transient a pur-
pose.
But the real I,aster toys
are as iull OF tun and happi-
ness for the little folks as
Christmas toys are; and the
variety of them is almost as
great, though the egg
thought runs through them
all. 1t is fair to invite all the
children in. this out-ot- school
day, to see these p]ay-things
together.

oi yesterday, after some structures on
the present condition Of our streets,
propounds the conundrum: where is
our road SUPERVISOR"
Here l nm, and what is the Free
Press going TO 10 about it2 Does the
editor OF that paper think that because
I was elected by a large majority, 1 can
control the heavens aGd regulate the
quantity Of moisture that visits Elko
every year; or that because l am re-
quiralt to give $4,000 bonds, it is my
duty to hurl back the mountain torrent
or cause the b+bbling brook to mean
der up some steep hill that it may not
harm the streets Of Elko? II is said
that am to blame for not keeping q
certain ditch open; that said ditch, il
kept Ia proper condition. would keep
the streets clear of water. eto. Now,
Mr.. Editor, | will herein set forth that
Oh or nbout the Spring Of the year 1882,
/ was informed that q certain citizen
was filling up said ditch fer his own
use and benefit. Clothed with official
authority and such other garments as
tho receipts Of my Office would afford,
/ proceeded to demonstrate with said
citizen aud ordered him to desist from
tho further filling Of said ditch. He
seemed inclined so to do. and l thought
the majesty Of the law was about TO be
indicated, when a warlike female,
nearly a. long as the ditch itself. put
in an appearance and notified me that
"if her ole man didn't put mo in that
ar ditch, she would" Thereupon
suddenly remembered having impor-
tant business not in that part OF the
city. md have ever since considered
the said ditch altogether out Of my jur-
isdiction.
l also hear complaints about o GER
tain oulyert on the Lamoille road; tina!
while said ~culyert was put in less thau
a year since. it is now utterly useless,
etc. l wish it distinctly understood
that did not put in such c~ulvert. and
furthermore, that work in that direc.
ton. for which tho county paid S275,
l would gladly have performed fol-
$50. But not being much Of a pol
itickcr"-wOll, you know how lis your
self would like to ask the Ere,
Press man, how many Roni SuperVis

fact that 10 funds are available for sucl
purposes. PErkR MUSsoS.

toward Burner, at the same time at

cry. When about opposite the Bakery
door. Prior fred, the ball passing
through the Aeshy part OF Burners
right thigh, then speeding its way di-
aRonally accross the street and railroad
it passed through the glass door OF
Major Miller's store in the old bank
building, about 200 yards from where
tho pistol was fred. Burner walked
down TO the drug store, where the
wound was examined and pronounced
not dangerous by DIR. King of Salt Lake.
Prior was taken into custody, placed
under 50, 600 bonds, and surety being
promptly furnished, the prisoner was
released.
The above statement OF the ARRAY
was obtained from Burner, and we give
IL "a stated by him.
There is a rumor that the unpleas-
autnsss originated in a communication
written Oy Burner and published in an
Eastern paper which contained some
uncomplimentary remarks in reference
to the jury which acquitted Morse, and
Prior being a member Of that jury,
hence the trouble.
Mr.. Burner is resting quietly to-day.
and the wound probably will not prove
so serious as was supposed.
