The angel Of the MAY, from his right hand
sowrd flowers when clouds were riyrn.
The blossoms frightened all the bar en- land,
As sweet thoughts dropped from heaven
Young yioicts-all shimmcrins a. a lake
Blue mountain walls iuc1sc--
And yellow roses where the suubcams shake
Their thirst while bees repose.
A vision Of the summer swept the hill,
And kissed the flowers asleep,
Awakening all their hearts beneath the thrill
II life more new and deep
The roses leaned and listened in the shade,
Upon Tho garden wall
Tho wooiug zephyrs wandered half afrail,
Where lilies gLstcncl tall.
And every day, as earth more sweet and fair
Grew glaldcr % their ewes,
They drank the blue wine OF the summer air,
As erst in Paradise.
But autumn came. and down the hill again,
When night was dark and deep,
An angel wandered through the wind and rain
And kissed the flowers 10 sleep.
The crimson roses AMI the lille, tall,
We're robbed OF life and lisAt
We knew, when morning came, the sou OF all

CROW ITEMS.
Christen

ED. HERALD In your issue Of Jan
Both there was an editorial credited to
the Philadelphia Press which appeals to
Nebraska to take out Of the U. S, SEN
ate old Mr.. VanWyck and give him
permanent JOB at saving wood, etc.
As there was no editorial comment upon
it by the HERALD some of its readers
are inclined to believe that it endorses
such sentiments. YET are at a loss to
comprehend it.
Does the Press show that VanWyck
has become unworthy Of the confidence
of the people, that he should be taken
out of the Senate, or is it because he
has been the champion Of the people
that he should be rewarded with the
gift of a buck-saW.
The Press further remarks that his
craftsmanship is a species Of Intellectual
bunion which is neither useful nor
ornamental. Undoubtedly some Of his
bills have proven bunions to a certain
class whose rapacity and selfish am
bition knows no limits and in order to
attain their object would unhesitatingly
trample upon the fundamental princi-
pies of our republican institutions.
The Press says ne will be dOWned.
It is true that a powerful influence is
being brought to bear to secure his
downfall, yet does not that influence
come mainly from eastern states and
especially from that glittering anaconda
whose encroachments can not be re-
strained except by proper legislation.
I may err in my judgment, the Sena-
tor may have committed blunders or
m1sdeeds that would justify his down
fall. if so, am open to conviction, and
do not seek a controversy, but simply
information, as my stock in that line IS
rather limited. o. r.
