A SONG OF TIME.
How worn theme is that OF time
Then why do begin to rhyme
Upon it nowl

How worn q theme is that Of time
Then why do l begin to rhyme
Upon it nowl
Because to night the air is filed
With voices that will not be stilled-
They will not cease
And always sing the same refrain
Of Time that neer will come again,
OF Time that flies.
OF all that Time sweeps in his fight,
The voices sing to me to night,
Time cures all care.
That is what would fain believe,
My heart Herewith do deceive,
With faith in Time
oh Voices singing, be you mute,
You touch a chord on my hearts Lutte
But seldom played;
Yet filling the air around
With sweet melancholy sound,
A song Of Time
OF time that was, of days so fair
When all was young, AMI love was there
Long days agol
Be still be still that sad refrain
/ dare not listen once again
To that same song
Maybe hold those days too high,
And yield them far too oft "A sigh,
Those long days since
Yet as they were the foirest yet
OF all my days, then why forget
That happy time
Though if il still should be my fate
To live yet happier days, the date
OF that sweet time.
I'll bury, then, within the grave
Which holds all things forgotten, save
The present time.
Nor heed voice which whispers low,
"The sweetest song is that you know
OF long ago.
So with the voices in the air
l ming ed mine, and, To- was there
A song of Time

Some person, who has nothing to oc.
cupv his time, has figured out that coal,
bought by half-bushels, as many poor
people buy, costs the consumer in the
neighborhood of twenty dollars per ton.
Other articles which are purchased in
small packages, it is estimated, cost in
the same proportion. This will prove
rather startling information to those
whose means are so limited that they are
obliged to live from hand to mouth, as
is aptly termed.

distillery, located on Pike run, ten miles
above Bellevernon. 1t is impossible to get
any details in regard to the fire now as

wires. The destruction -was very great
owing to the intense cold which prevented
the handling Of water. The apparatus and
means OF putting out the fire were OF course
limited. The distillery proper was a frame
building two and half stories high and
thirH.six by fifty feet. The machinery
was very valuable. The capacity OF the dis
tillery II pushed to its utmost was
three hundred barrels Of mash. a
day, but its usual work was about fifty
barrels day. The warehouse was three
miles from Greenfield landing. There is a
large frame warehouse containing 1000
barrels. This was saved. The buildings
destroyed were the distillery. The build:
ings were insured for $l1 900. The loss will
reach at least $4,000. Collector Case has
been notified Of the fire. Thedistillery is two
and half story warehouse and store.room.
About co. OO0g gallons Of whisky were burned.
The distillery has been shut down since
June last. The distillery has been in
