HEY'RE AFRAID.

Some people can never get on,
Let their chance be as good as it may;
They stammer and shuttle and stick
Where Others will dash right away;
They say it's for want of a cheek,
That the world isn't properly made,
But it's pluck and not cheek that they want,
Yes, the truth of it is, they're afraid.
There's many a man with good hands,
That can work with true strength and tru,
skill,
Gets shunted aside Just because
He'll not push where another man will;
He sweatS and he groans in the mud,
And lets himself sink into shade,
Yet he might have been famous and rich,
If he hadn't been soft and afraid.
There are men who are upright and true,
Who shut themselves in their own den
They daren't step into the front,
And take up their stand there like men;
They live and grow rich out of sight,
And never are known but in trade,
Yet they might have been honored and blest
If they hadn't been still and afraid.
Stand up, then, and don't be put down
By cheek and by swagger and brag,
For man should stick up for his rights,
Whether wealthy or not worth mag"
The God that made one has made all,
One Heaven o us all is displayed,
And if a man does what is right
There's no one need make him afraid.

Colonel King Hartman, the new rep

be the strongest member of the British
House of Commons, and there are MANY
stories in circulation of his deeds Of

Occasionally some queer reasons
are given for taking Il newspaper. One
old lady cheerfully informed us not
long ago that since she had moved
away she didn't care so much about
what was going on here, but sit was
pleasant to know when your friends
died, and she took the paper to keep
the run of them. She was probably sis

A STRANGE AND STARTLING
DREAM II
Is THERE A SPIRIT WORLD

A remarkable dream Of preternatural
visitation recently occurred in Louisville
Ky; Mr.. V. E. Morera, a gentleman well
and favorably known about town, on re-
firing for the night, feeling unwell and
nervous was very restless in his sleep, but
seemed to himself to be wide awake aud in
full control Of his senses. A vision ap-
peared in his dream showing him large
flaming number commanding him to OBJ.

The dream was 80 startling as to fully
awaken him, and although one who never
believed in lotteries or upheld them, yet
try as he would he could not shake of the
vision or forget the numbers which seemed
to be burned IN his brain Finally he
called at the office Of the Commonwealth
Distribution Co., and paying 81, asked for
a ticket with the numbers of his dream on
II. Fortunately the number was unsold
and his ticket given him. The drawing
was soon to come off and 80 nervous and
excited had he become that, although
against his principles, he determined to
witness it, and strangely enough, he saw
his number drawn from the wheel and the
handsome prize of $4,000 was his. Was
this simply a coincdencel Who can tcl2

There ought to be some effort made to
celebrate the coming 4th Of July in this
city. Some attraction ought to be provided
by some person or collection of persons,
that would not only keep citizens at home
but cause others to come here and be enter

Cairo to get up frst.class celebration; it
needs only to be aroused. AS in years
gone by, so now, the business men Of Cairo
would contribute literally toward defray-
Ing the expenses Of grand turnout and
many OF them would doubtless take an
active part in making the affair a success
The city council could ALSO lend some assis.

theatre in st. Mary's Park, spoken of by
Mayor Halliday in his inaugural address, 60

DIXON SPRINGS.

This beautiful refuge from summer heat
dust and mosquitoes, is now open
for the season. Three never-failine
Springs OF coolest water whose medical
qualities have stood the test OF
more than sixty years continual use, the
waters Of each ola different kind, serve a
different purpose in bringing strength to
the feeble and health to the sick These
Springs are in a mountain valley whose
sides are of perpendicular cliffs, hundred
feet high, jutting out here and there in
fantastic shapes resembling beasts and birds.
The woodland paths are continual temp
tation to long and delightful rambles of
which one forgets. to become weary.
AN ARTIFICIAL LAKE
for boating and fishing has been added
to the natural scenery, bounded on one side
by cliffs at whose base the water reaches a
depth Of ten to fifteen feet and the other is
a gradual slope from the hills, the whole
covering several acres of ground.

A New Oopper-Zino ALLOW,

Engineering says that Mr. Alexander
Dick has succeeded in producing new
copper-znc alloy which exhibits charac-
teristics as essentially superior to brass
as those of bronze are to gun metal.
The advantages claimed for the new al
10y, (which has been named "delta metal, ;"
are great strength and toughness, and a
capacity for being rolled, forged, and
drawn. 1t can be made as hard as mild
steel, and when melted Is very liquid,
producing sound castings of close fine
grain, The color can be varied from
that of yellow brass to rich gun metal;
the surface takes fine polish, and when
exposed to the air furnishes less than
brass. These latter characteristics will
meet with ready appreciation for cabinet
work, harness fitting etc. The metal
when cast in sand has breaking strain
of p to % tons per square inch; when
rolled or forged hot into rods, the break
ing strain is 43 tons per square inch; and
when drawn into wire Of ~ B. w. g., of
81 tons per square inch.

come so sharp between the companies
that, 1t is claimed, they do not use the

apprehended from wires used for the

based on returns from over one thou
sand points in the West and North
west. A general change for the bet.
ter has taken place in all crop pros
poets within the last few weeks, owing
TO the cessation of rain and the advent
OF hot weather. Last week the two
combined served to bring forward the
late corn, and push forward the spring
wheat and oats. The weather has
been very fine for the early winter
wheat harvest. The crop is now going
into stock. The spring wheat and
oats crops are unusually promising,
and are both now nearly assured.
The corn crop is rapidly coming up to
its condition in 1852.
