Many ignorant people refuse TO

The Town Folks are Having n
Rail.

Tom McGrath, the writer Of the follow
ing lines, was convicted of horse stealing
at the late May term of our district court,
and is now serving out three years SEN
tence in the penitentiary. A short while
before court came on he attempted to
make his escape by throwing bucket of
water on the deputy sheriff and then
running over him. He was foiled in the
act, and as sort of punishment and for
safe keeping he was chained to the floor.
This was bis condition on the night of
the ball. We republish his lines, by re-
quest. 1t is pity that man gifted
enough to write ike this should so pros
titute his energies as to become thief
awoke from my sleep-twas midnight;
The moon in her splendor shoDe bright;
Her silver-like rays, ever brilliant,
Chased way the darkness of night;
crept from the pallet lie ON :.
To my window iron.bar'd in the wall,
For waited on the night air came music
Surely the town folks are having ball
o, how should hike to take part,
And step to the tune of the fddles;
Twould be the delight of my heart
But / look at my manacled ankle,
And know that it won't do at all
For the scums like me to be going
Where the town folks are having a ball.
SO pressed my face close to the window,
To catch the faint musical strains,
All the while humming the stanza-
Making time with the beat of my chainsl
My mind continual vibration,
And fancy held steadfast;ln thrall,
For my heart had flown to the music 4 ,
Where the town folks were having ball.
Then draw me portrait to match it:
l watch each pair as they pass;
l see tall, handsome fellow,
Making love to pretty young lass
Her eyes have sparkle bewitching,
Her dainty feet EVER SO small,
Her laugh has soft, merry ripple.
She must be the belle of the ball
There comes rap from the musicians,
Each couple have taken their place,
The gents in black coats and white vests,
The ladies III flowers and lace;
The music strikes up soft and sweetly,
The prompter each movement does call
0, what rapturous delight environs
Where the town folks are having ball
I listened and stood there bewildered,
And caught the faint fall of their feet,
With thoughts of the pleasures of others
With whom meier could compete,
Till the gray of the morning approaching,
The dancers we're leaving the hall,
My picture dissolved and vanished
OF the town folks and their first of May
ball. Tom McGRATH.

The fine prospect for corn in this
section has been almost ruined by
twenty days drouth at the very
time RAIN, was most needed. II we
have no rain within week the corn
crop will be cut short fully one-balf
Farmers are frequently berated for
their uneasiness at the prospect of
the weather; but when one reflects
that drouth of two weeks will often
destroy their labor of months and
deprive them Of bread for their fami-
lies, their complaints are but natural
No other calling among men take
their losses more philosophically
than farmers. -
