Humming Birds.

The flowers of June have come again.
The fields are bright with grass and grain;
Warm bends the sky DER mountain brow,
Where fresh young leaves are breathing now,
A prisoner yeti watch once more
The clustered roses round my door,
And miss-O God, forbid despair
The Joy that made my poor life fair.
These summer winds no glad laugh hold;
No little foot prints keeps the mold;
And nowhere mid the bright flowers fingers
The touch Of eager baby fingers.
There comes to me no voice or sigh,
To tell me she may still be nigh;
And thought, so earth-born, may not roam
within my darlings angel home.
know that heaven must be more fair
Than all earth's summer mornings are,
And vet think that she must miss
Our garden flowers, her fathers kiss.
But when amid the flowers is heard
The rapid sound Of humming bird,
Or when on lighter wing his mate
Comes, as the day grows cool and late,
watch them with a strange delight
Like living BtIus tITOuRn Sudue anu lBht,
They pass-while trembling flower and leaf
Tells of their airy touch so brief.
So far so near, in their swift flight,
SO joyous, free as beams of light
They seem type, though faint to me-
To show what spirit life must be.
And thus to me- they seem to bear
Some message from the upper air,
As though the world we seek drew near
Though curtained still from eye and ear
Until think the same soft eyes
Are looking on me from the skies,
And weary brow, by soft wind famed,
Is touched as by baby hand;
And round me falls pleasant dream
OF fiowery bank and crystal stream;
And as the summer day grows late.

THE VOICE OF THE PEoPLE.-The
people, as a whole, seldom make mis-
takes, and the unanimous voice of
praise which comes from those who
have used Hoods Sarsaparilla fully
iustifies the claims of the proprietors of
this great medicine. Indeed, these
very claims are based entirely on what
the people say Hoods Sarsaparilla has
done for them. Read the abundant
evidence of its curative powers, and
give it fair, honest trial.

Last week Chas. Kane, better known
here as the Kid stole a suit Of clothes,
comprising coat, pants. vest, shirt. boots
and overcoat, took them to Waubay and
sold them 70 a citizen Of that place. The
Sheriff Of Grant county followed the lad
and arrested him bringing him to Web
ster on Thursday, and from here took
him TO Millbank on the evening OF that
day. 1t makes us feel sal to chronicle
this event. Here ID a boy, barely in hrs
teens quick, smart, shyewd who has been
so neglected that he has formed associa-
tons that led to this d~eplorable result.
Instead Of a life of usefulness, which his
natural abilities Gted him for, no one
was near 10 whisper good counsel in his
ear, 10 guard him from temptation, and
he prostitutes the power, God gave him
to a life Of crime. Naturally warm hear
ted he was easily influenced By those he
loved; aud, unfortunately, bad men had
the power TO start him on the road that
will, IL il has not already, heardon his
heart and render him careless of the re-
spect Of his fellows-utterly destroy all
the germ Of good in lis nature. Thisar-
rest may produce other influences that
may work n reformation-and We ear
nestly hope it may-but the chances are
sadly agains' the boy. What bitterness
Of grief surges over the soul Of that
mother who knows her boy stands con-
yicted thief. She remembers the cooling
babe, the bright, winsome boy. whose
restless energy was the pride Of her
heart; and the poingency Of that grief is
net assuaged b. The reflection that his
! energy wss not directed in the channel
Of true msnhood-;hR bal he was permitted
to wander for days and months from the
home nest and the associations where
he would DO secure from the society
Of the vicious and the depraved. God

Father, Mother, where is your boy TO

and filthy stories poison the very foun
tains Of his soul, and blurs it's sweet and
trusting innocence2 or Ia he at home
