The Hammer and the Saw.

From Hr, B0nnsy's Nelo Fork Ledger.
There's the music Of the birds,
And the music Of the bees;
There's the music Of the forests
In the grand old trees;
Natures symphony IL sweet,
Aud without a single flaw,
Yet there's nothing like the music
OF tho Hammer and the saw;
Hal To Liberty and Peace
Hail to Order, Heavens hrst law,
And the worlds enrolling chorus
or the Hammer and the saw,
Though the little birds may sing,
And the balmy kephyrs blow,
Yet the larder may be empty,
Aud the wheat crop low,
But when labor strikes note,
Then the heart that was in awe
Dances lightly to the music
or the Hammer and the Saw.
Iail to Liberty and Peacel
Hail to Order, Heavens iir-t law
Aud the worlds onnobling chorus
OF the Hammer and the Saw
The man may not be skilled
FOR the harp or for the Tyre,
But have caught an inspiration
From ambitions noble fire.

finally laid TO rest. The coroners OF
VIII and Grundy counties are both
there for the purpose of reaping the
reward, ST. per corpse, for holding the
inquest, and each insists he is
the proper person TO do
the Job. 1t is also said
there will be serious trouble in the
ranks of the relief committee. The
water is now less than three feet deep

removing the bodies next Sunday. A
fence is being built to keep the crowd
back when the work is began. The
mine has been explored short dis

MARRIAGE seems to be considered,
i'm the eyes of some people, not only n
contract which can be unnulled or
utterly repudiated at pleasure, but one
that may be subject TO various modifi-
cations according TO the whim OF the
moment A noteworthy illustration
of the point OF the above was furnished
by the New York courlsa few days
ago. \ woman who sometime ago OBJ
tanned an absolute divorce from her
husband has now began proceedings
To have the decree modified SO that II
will be only for u limited divorce,
Sheadmits frankly that she has Just
found out that her former husband
means TO marry again, and the
thought does not please her. The di-
vorce laws are certainly elastic, but il
remains 10 bc seen whether or not the
courts will stretch them TO cover the
case OF every woman or man who has
got divorced in haste and now repents
at leisure.
