The SQuire's Last Sentence!


Up, on the sloping hillside, above the smiling lea
With its tall grass waving in the sun like gently
heaving sea,
Where the faint streaks of daylight play upon
the gables old,
And the last rays of the evening fall In clond of
gold,
The center that little world of broad and fertile
lands
scene of peace and rustic joy, the squire's farm
house stands.
On the quaint old-fashioned bedstead-within spa
cious room,
Beyond the broad and airy porch where honey-suck-
les bloom,
The good old squires wasted form-worn out with
busy years,
Lies lowering the rugged shore of mortal hopes
and fears;
Beside the ftful sleeper-her tender heart bowed
down
Beneath the weight of pressing grief-whe from the
eyes of brown
The bitter drops of sorrow like sparkling diamonds
For the dark Death Angel comes to lay his mantle
all
Sits one who in that aged heart has kept Loves
light aglow,
And made Lffe's stream, by Christian worth, with
sweeter current flow.
With downcast look, and beating heart beside the
mourner stands
That whose heart is bound to hers by loves
strong, golden bands;
Eager yet half-afraid, to make his solemn errand
known
To tear her from that loving heart, enshrine her
his own.
At last in halting, stammerng voice the bashfu low
speaks,
While DER the sufferers face light of seeming n
ger breaks
what? Give ye Minnie? Those bright eyes to this
old heart belong,
Go ask the bird give you its sacred powers of
song.''
Then, the evening shadows along the bedside
creep,
The silver head sinks down again to fevered, itful
sleep.
But message from the spirit-world came through
the sutry air,
And the and weary sufferer springs up with sud-
den stare
Here, stand ye up before this BAR and listen till I'm
through
Tis the duty Of this Court pass it's sentence
You, SIR have robbed of earthly goods, peaceful,
happy home,
And left an empty shadow, where love may never
come;
And, madam, you havetorn away joys last faint,
glimmering spark,
And left the hearth where love once dwelt all desc
late and dark:
Such acts deserve strong punishment-now hear the
Courts decree
The judgement cannot be reversed through all
ity:
You sir, are called to judgement nrst and, for your
natural life,
Shall cherish and protect her by the sacred name of
wife;
And you my girl, faithful prove, with all that
Love give,
And this house be your prison-pen, as long as you
may live,
Hold up hands, there's fetters for such mis-
chievous minds,
Now, hands and hearts both Joined one-blest be
the tie that binds
The light was gone the wasted form sank dowu upon
the bed,
And, with the blessing on his lips, the good old
Squire was dead.
Gone from a world of weary cares world of press
ing griefs
Gone from the lawyers wranglings, gone from the
lengthy ''briefs''-
And all the loved left behind unite to call him
best-
And know, of all his sentences-the last his
best.

God, but in these days of ours the order
of things is entirely changed. Now we
may worship and faithfully serve Him
in and by our daily toll. We are all
spiritual brick-makers, and God certainly
expects us to collect our own straw, and
properly prepare the materials He has
placed at our disposal. And our toll
is not oppressive. In His kindly provi-
dence, He has made our toll pleasurable
duty, in the discharge of which the heart
may be filled with cheerfulness, and the
mind with the noblest sentiments. While
He would not oppress us by exacting al
most impossible duties from US, He will
not smile upon idleness. He cannot see
His world at a stand-still, and His chill
dren as were clods upon the face of the
earth. The mind, and heart, and strength,
with which He has blessed man, were
placed in him for grand purpose. That
purpose is a pure and holy life, a life filled
with faith and trust in God, untiring
zeal in His service, and love and charity
toward all His children.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1885-06-18

One gets, sometimes, over-enthusiastic
in mineral research. We know man
who in prospecting for ore struck seam
of limestone. He was certain that he
had something from which an excellent
article of lime could be made, and was
preparing to mine and use it extensively,
when he discovered that it was not that
kind of material. Another gentleman, in
plowing, turned up fine specimen ofiron
pyrites. There was a great cluster, some
what resembling diamonds. He was not
sure but he had struck diamond mine,
and brought them to town to have "assay-
ed" While these little mistakes some
times get the joke on one, yet there are
treasures in the Jackson County Hills
which it pays to own, and which may be
readily dug out when needed. Our farm
ers should not be in hurry to rip up their
farms and sell off their minerals for little
or nothing.
