bulletins, from the piteous appeal OF women for
work to the call of brokers for proxies to be
used at railroad meetings The man who visits
New York city, stopping few weeks at big
hotel, does not know that city as well as the

the Liberty road, had been burned
to the ground on Sunday night,

We SHALL KNOB.

When The taists have rolled in splen do
From the beauty of the hills,
Aud the sunshine warm aud tender,
Falls in splendor on on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
Hhen the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
10 the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away
II we err in human blindness
Aud forget that we are dust,
If we miss the law ofkindness,
When we struggle TO be just,
Snowy wings Of peace shall cover
All the pair that clouds our way.
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away.
We Shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawnIng of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silver mists have yelled us
From the faces Of our own,
OFT we deem their love has failed us,
And we thread our path alone;
We shall see them near aud truly;
We shall trust them day by day
Neither love nor blame unduly
When the mists have cleared away
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
Ia the dawuing of the morning,
When the mists. have cleared away.
When the mists have risen abofe us,
As our Father knows his own,
Face TO face with those that love us.
We shall know as we are known.
Love beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as We are known,
Never more to walk alone
When the day of light is dawning,
And the mists hava cleared away.

A Good, Healthy Snake story.

The Charleston Ncrs and Courier
says: In North Carolina there is q
reptile known as the joint snake.
When attacked it flies into pieces,
each piece taking care of itself. a
darkey attacked one the other day,
aud to his utter amazement it
broke all mp, each section jumping
off in a different direction. In the
course Of an hour he returned that
way aud was utterly amazed again
to see it all together except the
tail piece. After waiting a few
minutes he saw the tail coming up
to join the body, taking sharp,
quick little jerks. 1t came nearer
and nearer until within a few iuch-
es Of the three quarter snake,
when 1t gave it gave a sudden jump
and hiiched on its proper place
with fuss resembling the popping
of a cap. The darkey knocked i6
TO pieces several times, and each
time it came together again. He
carried bis amusement too fur, how
ever, IN throwing the tail part OF
the snake across the creek, just to
see, be, show long it would take it to
catch up,n but it never caught up.
The snake, with its three joiuts was
carried to the house, where u new
tail is beginning to grow to replace
tue lost one. A gentleman who
knows much about this singular
species says head will grow or
the detached trunk, and there will
be two snakes instead Of one.
