Neutrality-suspicious. bump of imagination

poetry.
Citizen-I do write poetry. Only yester-

bump you are feeling of is where he hit me.
Don't bear on so hard.

The heavy clouds may be raining,
But with evening comes the light;
Through the dark are low winds complain
ing,
Yet the sunrise gilds the height;
And love has his hidden treasure
For the patient and the pure,
And Time gives his fullest measure
To the workers who endure;
And the Word that no law has shaken
Has the future pledge supplied;
For we know that when we awaken
We shall be Satisfied"

Now doth the verdant one depart,
That summer home to seek
Where they good rooms have advertised,
At dollars ten per week.
But when he gains the spot at which
Ten-dollar rooms are plenty,
He ever finds that they are gone
But some remain at twenty.

No word of it speak thou;
In youth it tickled me,
But it can't tickle now.

Court of Common PIeas-Judge Dem-
 Ing.

 The case set down for trial was that of Andrew Davis and his father James Davis against the car rage firm of Kean 6 Lines. The suit brought to recover $1 800 for breach of apprenticeship contract Andrew Davis being indentured by his Ter in September 1881 to the firm to learn the carriage blacksnith's trade and afterwards being discharged from service before his term of appren ticeship had expired as alleged on the ground of slothfulness.

The plaintiffs then amended their complaint and set forth the violation of & written contract simply. As the defence not ready to goto trial on this issue the was indefinitely postponed.
 Court adjourned until this morning at 10 Oo'clock.
