Last Friday afternoon at about five
O'Clock fire was discovered in the sec
ond story of the Nienstadt building,
adjoining McCray's brick block. The

and the second by the family as a
dwelling. No one was in the upper
story when the fire broke out. There
had been no fire in the stove since
noon and that had been allowed to die
out. 1t is supposed that the fire had
caught from the chimney and had
been burning since noon. The roof
and nearly all of the second story was
burned, but at this state of affairs, the
progress of the fire was arrested by a
food of water thrown on by determin-
ed citizens. After hard work for half
an hour carrying water from the lake
and wells, the fire was put out. Mr..
Nienstadt's loss to furniture, building,
and stock is covered by insurance.

MY GUARDIAN ANGEL.

| God gave to me an angel fair,
Ofholy heart, and gentle face,
OF purity, beyond compare,
Aud soul of high, majestic grace
A lile, that grandly scars above
All sordid thought, and earthly things,
Aud seeks, with gentle plying love,
To comfort earthly Borrowings.
When God, who doeth all things well,
Ordained that mnst walk apart,
From pleasant paths, uOr seek to dwell
With human Joys, she saved my heart
From breaking then with holy love
She led my faltering footsteps where
True strength is found, ald bade me fnd
Ny joy, and hope, and comfort there.
She never left me, or forgot,
For others veal, my slightest woe;
Joy came with her.-Whc-e she was not
Dark shadows rest. God willed it so,
That our two hearts should beat as one |;
When bitter grief my spirit bent,
Ny soul called for her, and she came
Though mortal never message sent.
e!
My Mother, friend, my angel dear,
My guardian guide and comforter,-
II Mercy's railnent, thou art clothed
Her gentle beams around thee shine
In every grace, thy soul is robed,
In every attribute divine
May Gods best blessings, be to thee,
All thy dear love has been to me.
