THE BLOOM UPON THE BRANCH

The bloom upon the branch must die
Before the tree can bear:
IL il the truth that wakes the sigh,
And hope that brings despair.
The sun that paints the flower to-day
viii fade the flower tomorrow:
The longest joys will pass away
And end at last in sorrow.
Ii is that thought informs the mind
That souls are filled with fear;
IL Is thai nature Is unkind
That starts the bitter tear.
The passing air by which we live
Still bears our breath away;
The hand which unto life doth give
Prepares the bed uf clay.
The brighter beams the steady light,
The darker falls the shade;
The colors most divinely bright
Are still the first To fade.
IL is because all Ties must part
That farewell words are spoken;
II Is the love that Nils the heart
by which the heart l. broken.

Baldwin.

The expected frost, looked forward to
with so much fear by farmers, occurred
Tuesday night last. but fortunately was not
severe enough TO injuTe corn. The tobacco
crop, a new industry in 81. CroiX county,
was slightly injured i'm some localities. As
near as can be aScertained there are about
fifty acres planted with tobacco in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Baldwin. Should the
venture prove successful the acreage viii be
largely increased another year. and a To-
bacco warehouse at this village an estab-
lished fact. A few of those cultiyating the
plant this year built fires along the wind
ward side of the field Tuesday night, thus
preventing the frost from doing any dam
age. In view of the practical failure of the
wheat crop this year. il is to be hoped that
the cultivation of tobacco may prove remu-
nerative. and that il will become an eStab-
lished industry. Farmers can then divide
their farms and not be dependent upon one
kind Of grain alone as 4 source of revenue.
