GOD BLESS OUR ABSENT BOYS.

Oh, Jamie, where are the boys tO-night,
The laddies sO blithe and gay?
The shadows are closing about US now,
oh, why do they STAY away9
The house is 80 lonely my heart grows chill,
Bereft of its fireside joys;
And find my self praying, as / oft have prayed,
God bless our absent boys"
| used TO think that the restless feet
Were never one moment STILL
That, like the birds and the butterflies,
They r-amed IT their own brave will
And jOyed that each eve all sounds Of mirth
Were hushed IN the household nest
And happ, las thai one day in seven
The boys aud the toys could rest.
But ere dreamed il the wears were gone,
And the lads were bearded men,
And not al the wealth of Thousand worlds
Can bring ME my boys again.
They have gone TO the east, they have gone to TIT
west,
In homes of their own 10 dwell.
Will the new love prove Ike he nOther-lOve
All, jamie, who can tell ,
In their far away homes will they sing the songs
Their mother used To sing.
To the prayers once whispered by infant lips
Will the heart of manhood cling :?
Will the mvrI, the noon and the twilight hour
With remembered love be sweet
Will the hOmeSick lads our parting ", rds,
God bless you," OFT repeat
An. jamie say not al have lost my Oysl ''
Nav, nay they mine for aye;
And STILL in their prattling childhood tones,
"Our Father" hear them pray
50 Wen keep the fireside altar bright
With memory's tender joys.
TIlllO brings back to .he dear old home
Our precious absent boys.

having no COMPATIBILITY whatever
name they may be called-form no
inconsiderable portion of the popula-
ton of Chicago, and apparently
comprise more than half the criminal
classes, according to the police reports
of that city. 1t is stated that of
81 ,1S7 persons arrested last years, 49,
722 had ''no occupation" These are
not desirable members of a community,
and especially in a country wher
there is employment. at some rate,
for all able-bodied people. The fact
that more than half the arrests were
from that class is suggestive. The
idlers recruit the jsils and burden
busy people with taxes. 1t If estimat.
ed that those arrests cost the city of
Chicago at least $15 each in the
average, or not less than $4,000 in
the aggregate. Probably other cities
have their proportion of similar ex.
perience with idlers. The person

Says the Warsaw Times : As a
choice between the Sunday morning
newspapers and the daily that is pro-
duced by men who work all day Sun
day, and most of Sunday night, We
think there can be no question. The
Sunday law is applicable to those who
work in dingy newspaper office, by
pursuing their regular calling, as
well as those who work in the fields
or behind their counters, and they
need rest just as much. Again, the
Sunday newspaper rightly conducted
often furnishes religious reading for
those who cannot attend church. that
takes the place of the most instructive
sermon or most impressive lecture.

We will have received S21l $50 for wheat.
The number of acres in our neighbOrhOod

the number sovn in wheat, aud the oat
and fax acreage will be about six thousand.
An unususlly interesting meeting was
held by Lamonte lodge No. 296, /. o. o. F.
on Friday evening last, the occasion being
the exempliieation of the unvritten work
of the order by Grand Master Charles ID.

of the weather prevented many who had
been invited from attending, but, notwith-
standing the disagreesble westber, there
were about forty visitors present Ssdalia

The Milwaukee Sentinel relates
that when Hon. E. B. Washburue,
of Illinois, prepared a bill making
Grant a lieutenant general and
placing him at the head of the Army
of the Potomac and com mander-in.
chief of all the Union forces in the
field, Grant did not approve of the
bill, because he distrusted his own
military ability. and he suggested to
Mr.. Washburne, before any lieuten-
