THE SHADOW OF DEATH.

How the day look glad with all it's shining To the eyes grown dim with tears! How can the soul give up without repining, The garnered hopes of yearsf Through the long hours our sorrow walks beside And never lets us go; Where is the secret shade in which to hide us, And fly the touch oi woe! While busy life roars on with din and hustle, We, all the autumn day, Keep musing stln how light the dead leaves
 rustic,
 Above the cherished clay? And when the night counts OCT her starry num- Sleep visits not the door; We wake to think Of eyes, sealed fast with
 sumber
 Till night shall be no more. or voices we but hear in recollection, Lips once so warm with love- Ears that until the morn of resurrection. Nor speech, nor sound, may move. Thus the low sense clings with its constant
 weeping
 CIngs eager in its pain, To the low spot where its beloved lie sleeping, And dead it's joys remain. But when the soul can broal. the heavy fet-
 ter
 That binds it to the earth It views, with faith triumphant, visions better, The country of its birth In that bright realm baptized with life immor-
 tal
 The absent ones appear; Their songs faint echoed from the Heavenly
 portal,
 Half dream we that we hear.  From day to day the light of Heaven Is clearer, And hope more patient grows. As with unrestng steps our feet draw nearer Unto the journeys close; Unto that home where, loving, waits to greet Full many an angel fair; Oh, shall We, wondering, as it's glories meet
 Us,
 Feel ourselves strangers there?

 Turlev's Point was in d state of helpless decay.

Men having business ln- terests at the latter place adopted yaflonS means to rouse the dropping energies of the Point, but their most hefcuean efforts could not generate even an embryonic boom. Slowly but surely it Was going down, anG unless something was done to revive it's business interests it was onlya question of time when the village would be entirely de serted.
 We must advertise, we must advertise, Tom Simmons, an ambitious poHticlan and properly owner often declared The qucS- ton of advertising was given serlous con- sideraton by the leading citizens of this moribund village. After mature delibera- tion, it was decided that Turley's Point must have a weekly newspaper, which was to be rival of the Benton3ille Gd-stte. Tom Simmons was appointed one of com mittee of tive to find a suitable person to manage such an institution. and ln lew weeks reported that by making some dona- tions to the enterprise, they could secure young man with some experience and capl- tai. who was willing to undertake the pre- carious business of establishing q paper at Turkeys Pont.
 Early one summer morning one of those lonely steamers, which still occasionally wander up the Missouri, like the ghost of its former glory, sounded the whistle and rang the bell when opposite the Point, and gracefully swung into the landing. The stage plank was thrown out, and young man about four and twenty years of age walked ashore. It was Mr Allen Gray, the prospective editor of the new paper. It was not for lack of homo talent that an editor had been imported to Turkeys Point. The village was not without Its literary aspirants.

Allen was wicked enough to mentally thank that spell of neuralgia.
