The stars know a secret They do not tell; And morn brings a message, Hidden well. There's blush on the apple. A tint on the wing, And the bright wind whistles, And the pulses sting. Perish dark memoriesl There's light ahead; This worlds for the living, Not for the dead. In the shlning oity, On the loud pave. The life-tioe is running Like leaping wave. How the stream quickeps, As noon draws near! No room for loiterers, No time for fear. Out on the farm-lands Earth smiles as we'll; Gold-crusted erain-fields, With sweet, warm smell; Whirr of the reaper, Like giant bee; Like Titan cricket, Thrilling with glee. On mart, and meadow, Pavement, or plain; On azure mountain, Or azure msin,- Heaven bends in blessing; Lost IS but won; Goes the good rain-cloud! Comes the good sun! Only babes whimper, And sick men wall, And faint-hearts, and feeble-hearts And weddings fail. Down the great currents Let the boat swing; There was never winter But brought the spring.

EARLY on Friday morning, an at
tempt was made to burglariZe the First
National Bank, Of Mt. Pleasant, Ohio,
and had it not been for an accidental
discovery, would most likely have been
successful. About one o'clock, several
young men returning from a country ly-
ceum. saw a horse and buggy hitched to
the fence, just out of town, and this look
ing suspicious, they made an investiga+
ton, finding some fuse beneath the seat
of the buggy. 1t was suggested that
two of them stay and watch the buggy,
while the remainder went on search
for the owners, and had this plan been
carried out. the burglars most likely
would have been captured. However,
all hands left, and when they come to
the bank, they heard a slight noise and
saw light. The men separated to warn
the town people, but in their absence the
alarmed burglars fled to their buggy and
went off in the direction of Martins
Ferry, with squad of horsemen in pur-
suit, but the burglars had too much of a
start. Near Martins Ferry, the burglars
abandoned their jaded horse, it having
been hired from A. J. Bower, liveryman,
that afternoon. by an unknown man.
The horse was completely used up. hav-
ing gone the nine miles in about fifty-five
minutes.
The burglars had broken the outer door
of the bank vault, which is a comb blna>
tion of wood and iron four inches thick.
The next door is of boiler iron, and had
also been opened, and operations had
been commenced on the steel door; after
which they would have come in contact
with burglar proof safe of the latest
pattern. composed of seven inch burglar
proof steel.
A Steubenville paper says that even
had they succeeded in gaining an en-
trance, the doodle" would not have been
so very large, as the bank only keeps 81
900 or $4,000 on hands, having the rest
deposited in other banks. 1t is also said
that between $4,000 and $4,000 in
money and negotiable paper were in the
bank at the time.
On Saturday, an old man who had
stolen a ride on freight from Bellaire
to GAINESVILLE. was so injured at the latter
place that be died, and he is supposed to
have been one of the parties. Before
dying. he said he was John Benson, of
New York. but refused to give any &C
count of himself. On his person were
found two drills, matches, package of
gunpowder, several bundles of white
paper, &c. 1t is supposed the burglars
separated, and that this man was one of
them.
