BENEATH THE LINDEN.TREE.

Beneath the tree,
The yellowing tree, the leafy linden-tree,
lie alone in idlest revery.
The branches tremble in the passing gust,
The brittle turf sends up its fragrant dust,
And through the drowsy meadow drones the
bee
Molder of life in high or low degree,
Exhau5tless Nature breeds on every hand;
Before me lies the land, the pregnant land,
The swarming air, the big, prolific sea;
The cricket chirping singly in the sand
Is vocal with the unfathomed mystery.
Among this myriad brood,
A motley train, pursuer and pursued,
also move to some divinest good
That here, embracing all, embraces me.
Beneath the tree,
The yellowing tree, the ancient linden-tree,
They lie and dream together, he and she.
For these alone the heart was born of clay,
The ages blossom in perfect day,
And countless life obeys the great decree;
The moon reflects her spangles on the sea,
The planet kindles in the northern sky,
And all the mighty pageant passes by
To bear them on TO happy destiny.
For them the darkness wells the curious eye,
And God looks down, that every grace may
be,
In youths enchanted prime
Encircled by a shining pantomime,
They deeply drain the golden cup of time,
And love creates new eternity.

sB AwelI known Celina young lady, liv-

lished areputation for cool courage that will
not soon be forgotten. An unknown man
entered their residence one night last week,
took off his coat and hat and proceeded to
establish himself for comfortable nap on
the dining room lounge. Presently the
sound Of terrific snoring was waited to the
upper floor and the aforesaid young lady's
mother went down to discover the where
abouts Of the loud manifestations Of deep,
dreamless slumber. On discovering an un-
known man in possession Of the room and
remembering that they, themselves, were
without single male defender in the house,
the lady's loud screams soon brought her
daughter down stairs in hot hoste. The H.
truder not wishing to yield possession Of Ills
comfortable quarters, and all persuasive
powers failing to move him, the young lady
forcibly elected him from the premises at the
point Of o pistol and pursued him with ii
until she saw him at q safe distance beyond

~ It must be within the recollection Of
the general public that the Republican
politicians stfall held the Democratic party
Of Ohio up to reprobation for having been,
| as they asserted, culpably extravagant, and
promised that if the people should again con-
fide to them power they would inaugurate q
system of reform and economy that would
cause spontaneous outburst of qualification
from the people. Well, Judge Foraker was
elected Governor, and he makes call for
more money, and in order to obtain it he
urges that the farmers lands, among other
things, be re-appraised up right away. He
assumes that when they were appraised six
years ago they were appraised too low. Far
mers generally will disagree withhim. Peo-
pie will probably discover they made mis-
take in electing Foraker. Hancock Courier.
