PEABODY AWAKE

As per announcement meeting
was held at the office of Morse n
Knowles last Monday evening, for the
purpose of taking further action re-
lating to the proposed line of road
through this CITY, The meeting was
enthusiastic throughout and the ques-
ton was ably discussed by representa-
tive citizens. 1t was finally concluded
to raise the subscription of the I'm
proyement Association from $4,000
TO S25, 900, so that it would prepared
financially 10 take hold of this project,
or any other enterprise that would
prove benefit to the city, in busi-
ness like manner. n committee was
delegated TO take charge of the mat
ter. and up TO date We believe that the
full amount has been subscribed
Peabody has demonstrated on pre-
vious occasions, her ability to take
hold of an enterprise, no matter what
it may be, and if there are any doubt
ers it is tine they change their tactics.
This road, or one taking virtually the
same course, is bound TO be built, and
Peabody cannot afford to loose il. IL
it crosses the A., I. Il S. +. at some
other point east or west of Peabody,
ii viii be blow from which IL will
take years to recover. We have the
site, the country, the capital and "go-
aheadatiycness' to make good city,
and what we need at present as an III
duccment TO parties seeking good
point in which to invest their money,
is two rival roads. Keep the move
meat alive-Peabody Graphic.

BEYOND THE S7ReAM.

fAlbert Pitts Morse in YouAsD Companion.l
Beyond the stream there looms hill,
Upon the hill there stands pine,
Upon toe pins there hargs a cone,
Within the cone there lies a seed.
Within the seed there lie, germ;
But sun. nor dew, nor warmth. nor chill,
Will ever caus, the germ to thrill.
Beyond the stream there lies plain,
CpJn the plain there rests cot.
Within the cot there stands a crib,
Be iie the crib mother cries,
Within it still dead child lies;
But mothers tears and prayers are vain
To call the child's soul back again.
Alone beneath the night pace;
Outlined upon the setting moon
The gaurt pine sprays its pallid CLEAN;
Tie cottage ends one golden beam,
A firefiy spark. twill vanish soon,
As other lives, and leave no trace.
o mystery of Lie, whats'er
Thou art none knoweth, nor shall know
Until the tide of time shall roll
Between the body AM the soul
Until each soul shall homswarl go
To that great Soul Of whom We dream,
And life with Life Eternal share,
Beyond the stream, beyond the stream.

"That's eight thi; morning"
The speaker was a wholesale produce

They are women-I suppose they'd like to

Los Angeles, now a city of thirty
thousand inhabitants, has several
favorite resorts among the mountains,
from ten to TWENTY-FIVE miles distant.
II also has two seaside resorts, both
reached by rail, and both about twenty
miles distant. Santa Monica, the
older, is west of the city. and is already
quite a suburb of Los Angeles
many men residing there and doing
business daily in town. Bathing, OF
course, is the standard amusement
but this is supplemented by gambling
horse racing and the usual accompani'
ments of such resort. The papers
report that twenty car loads of pleas.
ure seekers visited Santa Monica from
Los Angeles last Sunday.
On the south is Long Beach, new
resort and one rapidly growing into
favor. A $50, 900 hotel has been erected
there this season. This place is under
wise management and is designed fol
campmeetings and Chatauqdan assem-
blies, to the exclusion of drinking ant
gambling, and will doubtless be pro
ductive of much good. We need al
the aids TO sobriety and Christianity
that are available.
