.sav who art thou with more than mortal ar
Endowed by heaven with gifts and graces rare,
whom restless, winged feet forever onward bearg
az am occasion-known 10 few at best
And since one foot upon wheel rest
Constant my movements are-they cannot be re
pressed.
ayot the swift eagle in his swiftest fight
Can equal me in speed, my wings are bright;
And man who sees them waved is dazzled by the
sight.
ANY thick and flowing locks. before me thrown,
Conceal nv form-nor face nor breast is shown;
That thus as approach, my coming be not known
behind my head, no single lock of hair
Invites the hand that fain would grasp it there;
But he who lets me pass, to seize me may despair"
s'Whom then, so close behind thee do see 7?
"Her name is Penitence; and heavens decree
Hath made all those her prey who profit not by MI
nAnd thou, mortal, who dost vainly ny,
These curious questions, thou dost not descry
That now thy time is lost-for am passing by"

These fertilizers have been extensively used
by many of the leading farmers of Carroll and
the adjoining counties for the past six or eight
years successfully, with the most gratifying
results. They not only realized the most ex-
cellent crops of grain and grass, but their
farms improved under its application. As
grass producer it has no superior. Many
farmers will attest to the above facts.
Also the Chemical Company of Cantonis
Fertilizers, though not so long in use. are
making for themselves splendid reputation.
These various brands of fertilizers all will be

this season cheaper than ever before. Farm

giving their orders or purchasing elsewhere.
A full supply of these goods will be kept on

The Squire Investigation.

NEW York. Aug. 9-The prosecution of the
case Of Rollin III. Squire, before the Mayor, fol
malfeasance in Office, closed to-day The chief
witness was William NJ WINS, city chamber
lain. and private secretary to Mayor Grace durs
ing the latter's term. Mr.. WINS told the whola
story of the corrupt letter from Squire to Flynn,
and gave details of recent occurrence as fol.
lows: The witness afterward met Flynn and
Flynn told him that they had been connecting
defense. which was that Squire should consult
Judge Gldersleeve and should then ask for the
letter on the ground that it was very incrimi.
mating; as matter of fact. Flynn said that
Squire did come to him and ask him for the let
ter, and Flynn took paper from his pocket and
threw 1t in the fire. Squire complained because
Flynn did not show him the letter before burn
ing aud the latter replied: WELL it's all right,
old fellow; it's burned now" Flynn told the wit
ness that the burning was only ruse. The real
letter of resignation was not burned, but paper
substituted in its place. Flynn at this tina
asked the witness If it would not be good time
for him to turn States evidence, and put Squire
where he belonged
