WILL IT MATTER THEM

In little from this viii IL matterr
When they close these tired eyes,
And fold these hands above a breast
That shall never again in strange unrest
With life's currents fall and riser
In q little from this win IL matter?
When we lie meath the valleys clod-
Whether winter whirls its wreaths Of snow,
Or the daisies white of summer blow.
Ger our coveriet Of sod?
In a little from this will it matter,
Though so rough life's path has been'
Though heavy ofttimes is the cross,
Though small our gain and great our loss,
When we strive so hard TO win?
In little from this will it matteri
Though the blessings for which we yearn
Seem all denied-and we try in vain
To reason why, as with bitter pain
We LIES sad lesson Learnt
In a little from this will it matterH
Though the world look on with scorn.
While we patiently try TO do our best
And our every effort turn to jest
Till courage and hope are gone?
In q little from this will IL matter?
Though we sadly bid adieu
To friends dear loved, as the "boatman pale"
Rows them DER the tide they but once can sail
And we watch them borne from view?
In q little from this will it matter?
Ali Nought will it matter then;
For never more shall we mix with the strife
And toll and care of an earthly life,
Or tread earth's paths again.

THE COURTHOUSE.

We were informed that the county
commissioners, on Saturday last, decided
TO make the location of the new court
house on the site of the old one, adding
one small lot on the northwest corner,
donated by parties without cos, to the
county. The cost Of full block in the
localities named last week. was too grea,
for the citizeus to raise the money to bus
and present to the county, and hence the
decision Of the commissioners. We
suppose tLis decision is final, unless the
new board conclude to change before the
contractors commence their work Of
construction. We hear some srumbl-
ing about the site, but not enough to
induce moni:d men to 80 show their ap.
probation of the importance of fioe
courthouse block, to pay out enough of
their money to buy better block and
present it to the county, and the com
missioners claim that they have not the
authority to expend the county's funds
30 make the purchase of better site.

TEE LOCATION OF THE COURT
HOUSE,

The commissioners, after eight days
elaboration and comforting with the
people OF the city, have determined to
build the new court. house on the old
site, with livery stable, a dwelling
house aud other buildings on the same
block. Several propositions had been
made to them 10 respect to the location,
bat most all Of them were in favor Of
places that wer. supposed to enhance the
value of property owned by parties in
the city, and to obtain the site in either
case, several thousand dollars we're
requisite to purchase tho site, to be paid
BY the county or by the citizens and
given to the county. As high as s., 1000
were ready TO be subscribed for one or
two sites, but that was not enough to
buy a whole block, whero desirable. A
full block upon the plateau south Of
town was offered as = gift to the county.
But the objection was that no water was
upon this plateau. To obviate this one
or two gentlemen proposed to put
permanent water there sufficient for the
courthouse and jail, in case it should be
decided to place the building upon thi,
plateau. As there was such q diversity
Of opinion expressed, the commissioners
concluded to occupy the old site and
take the consequence. Many were il
favor Of locating upon the hill. But thu
iuteres. many had in having the build
ing near them induced divided senti
mcnt go that the commissioners deemed
it best to keep the old location. 1
seems they had not the sand to locate i
out Of the business part Of town, even i
they had to be content with half block
in proximity to other buildings exposee
to Gre, with no chance to cmbel'ish The
grounds. So that the $780, G0 obtainct
upon the bonds Of the county are to b,
expended in barrow limits 60 far as thu
location is concerned. 1t may be salts
factory to the town people, but We thiul
the people Of the country outside o
town would prefer to have seen th
building in more prominent location
where it would have been nucleus 70
other prominent buildings to be built
subsequently. Perhaps the people Of tn
town are faithless as to the futue growtl
Of the place, they have so long waite'
for something to turn up to reviv
business. But the court house on tn
hill would give 10 strangers, who visit
,he idea that We ourselves had faith il

600. we.aro expanding in court house
Siraws sometimes show which way tn
wind blows, ard sometimes they break tn
camers back. But in this case tn
$50 900 has been raised, and the coun,
should see to it that it be expended wher
it would best subserve the interests c
the pie Of the whole county, and {
the same time be a credit to the count,
and not confined to few individuals of tn
town. Time will tell either the wisdo,
or folly Of the location.
