To catch the old refrain;
And voices hushed, now in the tomb,

The time forgot-I saw once more
Our dear old village church;
The ivy draped it as of yore,
And clambered round its porch.
Within its walls the very air
Seemed full of peaceful rest;
Its quiet soothed the hearts that were
With grief or care oppressed.
1 saw our aged pastor kneel,
Gods blessing 10 implore,
And pray that He all griefs would heal
All wanderers restore.
And then the people rose to sing
"Forever with the Lord"
Its echoes in my heart still ring,
treasure every word.

They've found place in mansions" fair,
And wait for me to come.
And now, at close Of every day,
Where'er chance to roam,

The boom Kansas has enjoyed the last
year and is enjoying this year is set forth in
the land commissioners report for the fiscal
year ending on June so, 1885. During that
year 3, 030,0I6 acres public lands were taken
up by actual settlers. With but an average
of one person to every quarter section taken
this would make an increase of about 200
600. There is no doubt that Kansas hiss in,
