The Battle of Life.

Go forth to the battle of life, my boy
Go while it is called to-day;
For the years go out and the years come in,
Regardless of those who may lose win,
Ofthose who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before;
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the river where two worlds meet;
They go to return no more.
Temptations will wait by the way, my boy,
TEMPTATION without and within;
And spirits of evil, with robes as fair
As those which an angel in heaven might wear,
VIII lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the armor of God, my boy,
In the beautiful days of youth;
Put ON the helmet and breastplate and shield,
And the sword that the feeblest arm may WELD,
In the cause of right and truth
And go to the battle of life, my boy,
With the peace of the Gospel shod,
And before high heaven do the best you can
For the kingdom and crown of God.
There is place for you in the ranks, my boy,
And duty, too, assigned
Step into the front with cheerful face;
Be quick, or another may take your place,
And you may pc left behind.
There's work to be done by the way, m, boy,
That you never can tread again
Work for the loftiest, lowliest men-
Work for the plow, plane, spindle, and pen
Work for fine hands and the brain

THE COWBOYS FAVORITE
GUN.

/ dropped into large store on FL
Paso street, which enjoys the reputa-
ton of selling more arms than any
other house in the city, writes a cor
respondent of the st. Louis GLOBE
Democrat. While inspecting the gilt
tering array of pistols of all kinds
which filed half dozen show cases,
a young fellow of about twenty-three
entered. He was dressed in approved
frontier style, sombrero it would take
three days to walk around the rim Of,
white handkerchief tied loosely round
the neck, blue shirt, pants stuck IN
his boots, and large Mexican spurs
upon his heels, jingling as he walked.
He wished to buy ''gun." In the
expressiveness and laconic tongue of
the frontier ''gun" is a revolver;
rifle is called by the name of the ma
ker; and the weapon of the sports
man, uncurtailed of its fair proper
tions, is known as shotgun.
Selecting from the case handsome
ly mounted Colts forty-fve calibre
revolver, the clerk said: "How would
YOU like this? 1t is the newest thing
out-a double-action forty-fve.
ssAin't worth row of beans. No
man 'cept he is tenderfoot wants
that kind of thing. Give me old re-
liable all the time. You see man
that's used to the old style is apt to
get fooled-not pull her off in time
and then he'll be laid out colder'n
a wedge"
He was handed single-action
Colts of the same model, which, af-
ter carefully examining, he proceeded
to cock and fire, twirling the pistol
around his forefnger and pressing the
trigger the moment the butt came in-
to the palm of his hand. After some
little sskick" about the price the weap-
on was paid for and the man left the
store.
"There are few men" observed the
clerk, as his customer left. "that can
do that trick. / have been ten years
on the Southwest frontier, among tile
worst classes, and don't know more
than half a dozen. Bill the Kid
could do it; so can Pat Garret, for
mer sheriff of Lincoln county; so can
Dan Tucker, deputy sheriff OF DEM
ing. Curly Bill could do it best OF
the lot, and that's how he killed Sher-
iff White at Tombstone.
.sHow was that?''s aoIe
"Well, you see that Curly Bill was
trying to paint the town red, and
White heard of it and going to him,
covered HIM with his six-shooter, and
told him that he had got to give up
his GUN. Bill handed the gun out
butt first, but kept his finger inside
the guard, and as the sheriff reached
for it he gave it, that twist you've
seen, turned her loose, and the sher-
iff passed in his checks" ~

One Days Fishing.

One morning, when spring was in her teens
A morn to poets wishing,
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens,
Miss Bessie and went fishing
l. in my rough and easy clothes,
With my face at the sunshine's mercy;
She, with her hat tipped down to her nose,
And her nose tipped-uice versa
1, with my rod, my reel, and my hooks,
And hamper for luncheon recesses;
She, with the bait of her comely looks,
And the seine of her golden tresses.
So we sat down on the sunny dixie,
Where the white pond-lilies teeter,
And went fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she, like Simon Peter.
All the noon l lay III the light of her eyes,
And dreamily watched and waited;
But the fish were cunning, and would not rise,
And the fisher alone was baited.
And when the time for departure came,
The bag was fiat as founder,
And Bessie had neatly hooked her game
A hundred and eighty FOUNDER.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
A Delightful Day-Crowds of People
and More Fun Than a Baby Show.

The glorious Fourth has come and gone
and its observance will ever be pleasantly
remembered by the large crowd OF people
who visited Napoleon on that day. The
morning dawned cloudy and threat.
ningly, but before s o'clock the clouds
had drifted away and the sky remained
cloudless during the entire day. At an
early hour people began gathering in from
the country, and the arrival of the morn
ing trains brought in large numbers from
the neishboriug towns. The particular
airs rendered by the bands exerted an in.
spring influence that soon had everybody
fired with the proper enthusiasm for the
days sports. At 10 o'clock the procession
headed by the Wauseon band, formed at
the crossing of Perry and Washington
streets and marched up Washington to
Haly Avenue, thence across to Clinton
and down to Perry, thence to the canal
and back on Monroe.
Owing to the non arrival of the military
companies in the morning the prize drill
did not take place until after the arrival of
the o'clock train from the east, which
brought Companies A and G of the 10th
regiment from Toledo. At 2 o'clock
Washington street in front of the Court
House was cleared of the crowd and Co.
G, Capt. Atkinson commanding, marched
out and opened the drill. This Company
was followed by Co. F, Capt. Heller, and
Company A, Capt. Weir. Capt. Cary, Col,
Norton and DR.. Maerker, acted as Judges.
The drill which lasted about an hour and
half, was highly interesting and eagerly
watched by hundreds of people. Shortly
after the close of the drill the Judges an
nounced their decision, awarding first
prize, $lOO, to Co. c. Second to Co. F.
Immediately after the drill the crowd re-
paired to the river where an amusing tub
race took place. The race was easily won
by Master Nate Grim who was awarded
the prize, silver watch. The programme
closed with display of fire works from
the Court House balconies in the evening.
The soldier boys from Toledo did them
selves credit in the drill and won many
expressions of praise for their gentlemanly
department while in our city.
The visiting bands from Wauseon and
Liberty Center entered into the spirit of
the day and did their full share towards
keeping the air filed with music. The
Napoleon Band surprised its most inti-
mate friends by appearing in bran new
uniform. The boys play we'll, are all
gentlemen and deserve little more dol
larly encouragement from the citizens
than they have been receiving.
Company F. Boys acquitted themselves
in their usual creditable manner. Not a
single accident to mar the pleasures of the
day. There was also a ten cent dance
which was largely patronized. There was
very little drunkenness and rowdyism on |
,he streets.

in use for several years and have proved
to be invaluable in destroying all kinds
