NO BLACK FOR ME
ny ALICE Robbins,

No black for me, dear love, when am dead
shroud not that precious face in funeral fold,
But wear soft white veil upon your head,
As iits saintly woman growing old.
No black for me; why, when eternal day
Has burst in glory on my dazzled sight
And Gods own angels bear my soul away,
Should my twin sister bow in woe and night?
There may be tears. but let them fail, sweet
wife,
As feeling one more pilgrim snfc at rest.
One changed from dying clay to deathless life,
Whose head has often lain upon your breast.
ono roaming mid an Edcn'a flowers aud trees.
Whose weary, wasting feet no walks could
share;
One drinking heavens breath with rapturous
ease.
Who scarce could breathe blessing or a
prayer.
Let me be carried from my cheerful home.
Like sunshine out Of sunshine. flowers from
flowers,
Let maids in white, and little children come,
And cheer with tender song your lonesome
hours.
For you will miss me, though some path from
heaven
May lead straight from my glory to your
heart;
And may come, like Jacobs angels, given
Some thrill some joyous message 10 impart
So keep the light about you; death is light
And life. and power, to pure and chastened
love.
And death IS only dark to doubt, and sight
That has no visions from the world above.
No black for me when J am gone, dear love.
Stroud not that precious form IN funeral fold,
But wear soft white veil upon your head,
As Bts a sanity woman growing old.

Immediately engaged in general mercantile
business, in the conducting of which he soon
became acquainted with everybody In this
vicinity and traded in everything. In 1855 the
management of the Mineral Point Railroad
came into his hands. 1t was as the manager of
railroad interests that the true ability and char
acter of the man appeared and in speaking of
Mr.. Cobbs character, may we not say the best
ana highest test is the esteem of men who we're
in hi. railroad service. MIR. Cobb haze this. The
secret of this esteem was his honest and fair
dealing with them. He dealt with them, not as
machines capable of doing so much work, but
as individuals, In such dealings do we not see
the hand OF the sainted mother aud the spirit
of the truo Christian Mr.. Cobb was baptized

means inaway that even those who make more
profession might well follow. Mr. Cobb was

six children survive and mourn his loss.
The funeral took place on Tuesday and was
largely attended The masonic fraternity OF

boring towns, headed by the band, attended IN
accordance with the observance Of the order
The beautiful floral offerings rendered by the
First National Bank, of which he was prss-
dert, by the employees of the old Mineral Point
Railroad, and other sources were evidences IN
themselves OF the esteem in which no was hold
by those who knew him best.
The following beautiful pDem was given to

EVIDENTLY some fair maid has
been making love to Monahan, of
the Darlington Republican. Hear
him in his last paper "There seems
to be . certain proportion of our
girls who are ready at any moment
to fall madly in love with a pair of
pantaloons without reference to the
quality or possessor thereof. They
are romantically glamoured by a
man whose face has no attractions
and whose habits are positively re-
pulsive. A worthless, brainless
BOBBY, who has not even the capacity
to earn salt for his potatoes, who
can't be invited to your table because
he does not know how to behave
himself, and who can't be SET up in
business simply becaase he is an
idiot, run away with your daughter,
a beautiful and accomplished girl;
who would order him out of the
house if she knew him better, and
who will leave him with broken
heart after six months of married
life. This is one of the problems
of social life which it is hard to
understand"

try this city. The company has
played to full houses at Milwaukee
one week, Manitowoc, Fond du Lac,
Sheboygan, Burlington, Racine, Ke-
nosha, Waukegaa, Lake Geneva,
etc. The press wherever this COM
pany performed is full of praise,
and as the prices Of admission have
been placed to only rs cts including

everybody has an opportunity to
hear this fino opera. Deserved seats
are now on sale at the postoffice.
The following is synopsis of the
opera, which Miss Emily Miltner
has the exclusive right to perform
in America
Tho Opera begins with chorus of Grecans
going 10 worship at the temple Of Venus, at
dawn. Ganymede declines to follow them, pre-
ferring 10 sleep. His master Pygmalion. who
has made a beautiful statue of his ideal Gaatea,
goes TO the temple. In his absence, Midas, q
rich money-lending art patron, calls, and for a
bribe Is shown the beautiful statue. Mean
while, Pygmaton returns and drives Midas out,
TO his great disgust. In answer Of Pygmalion's
prase Venus gives life to the statue, and
Galatea falls In love with her sculptor, the first
man she Sees She soon after finds Ganynede
however, and prefers him on acco mt Of his
youth and beauty. Midas comes again, sees
Galatea alive, and woOs her with jewels and
riches. which she accepts, while she rejects the
Fiyer. PygmaiioD discovers her intrigues with
Midas and finally with Ganymede, aud In his
despair, prays Venus to turn Galatea back TO
stone. She again becomes statue, and is then
sold by Pygmslion to Midas.

for, and while they were being taken
shares and half shares came in and
at ten minutes to 8 O'Clock the thing
was done; over $4,000 raised-for
what Mineral Point people promise
they fulfill. The doxology was
sung, Mr.. Couch prayed for the
donors, and the battle was ended.
To this hour the interest increases.
The ladies' will have something to
work for, and will get abundant
help. Mineral Point can well
afford to congratulate itself on the
possession of so beautiful church
ont of debt, and the congregation
tenders heartfelt thanks to all do
nors. Mr.. Couch carries with him
the gratitude of all, and the honor
of being one of the mos persevering
and successful solicitors in an effort
to wipe out church debt the coun-
try possesses.
Far more than ordinary praise is
due the energetic pastor Of the
church, Rev. L. E. Clough, who has,
since stationed here, made the prob
lem Of how this debt could best be
obliterated a constant study, and
through his vigorous, uniting efforts
was the long desired result of Sun
day last obtained more than that of
all others.
