Sunset.


Sunset DER SaYanush. Lo,
How the twin rivers throw
Back to the domed sky the glow
And gladness aud splendor OF sunlight
While through the shimmering air,
FAr-heard, faint-toned and clear,
Fail on the listening ear
The numerous voices Of twilight
Then from its dungeon OF dole
Leaps the impatient soul.
Forgetting It's grief and the whole
OF LIES mesnness and strife.
And, uplifted from eommoneF things,
Rises on jubllant wings
To the chrysolite gate that swing
'Twixt this and the nobler life.
All, me II fades, the Wild splendor.
And, suddenly rising 10 render
It's homage 70 Night, the tender
Star Of the evening appears
While % its dungeon OF dole
steals back the desolats soul,
And, shrouding ~ face 10 its stole,
Sledeth, 10 darkness. 10 tears.

Many of the patients have busy hands as

whose restleSsness seemed to be relieved by
needlework, embroidered letter on bit Of
cambria. 1t was a wonderfully ingenious
piece OF work. The same patient with q
pin pricked q long letter on a square OF
wrapping paper. The letters were all uni
form in size and perfectly formed, aud by
holding the paper to the light the document
could be easily deciphered.
The letter which follows was written by
a patient In charitable institution and is
a typical case of paranoia, which is defined
as "a mental affection Of hereditary origin,

Sometimes the two varieties Of delusion are
combined The emotional faculties are
seldom deeply affected. and tue logical
power is the last to suffer, the patieut
acutely from false premises. The
mental enfeeblement is not great. Tho

The Building and Loan Association of Dakota, of which James c. Johnson of Monroe is the eloquent and persuasive representative, has issued tasty volume giving autograph letters of the most con- vincing character as to the management and standing of this investment company whose home office is at Aberdeen, South Dakota. R. F. Pettigrew, United States senator from South Dakota, himself in terested in rival building and loan as sociation, says, ''Its management has been honest, economical and safe, espec- ial attention being given to the making of it's loans and very careful supervision of all it's affairs has been the constant aim of it's officers, who are among the very best men in the State.'' South Da- kota's other representatives in Congress give their individual endorsement to the same effect and stockholders in the assO- citation from Maine to Washington and from the DakOtas to Texas unite in praise of the promptness and honor with which they have been met. It is q splendid tribute and Mir Johnson has proved his faith by his individual investments, af- ter careful personal inspection.

The Congregational church was re- opened, Sunday, and never looked so pretty before. The whole effect, from carpet to vaulted ceiling, is beautifully harmonious and there is just enough of gilt to set off the other decorations, al- ready described in the BEE, to perfect ion. The pulpit platform has been cut down almost level with the congregat- ion and the organ placed in front of and facing the congregation at the north side of the pulpit platform. Rev MT DeIzell announced that current expenses had run SIPS behind while the congregation had met in the lecture room below, but hoped that the deficit would soon be met by in creased liberality. This money, as we'll as that needed by the repairs, he an- nounced as having been furnished by c. B. Taylor. Mir Delzell chose for his sub- ject that of being laborers together with God, His husbandry and gave cordial welcome to all in the town to worship in the re-furnished church who do not al- ready worship elsewhere. Rev MT Brown of the NJ. E. church admired the beauti- ful harmony of the work just done and drew appropriate lessons from it, while Rev H. L. Wheeler drew further lessons from the thought growing out of Gods husbandry and pictured the anxieties of a pastors life.

EASTON.

Dr Abel R. Beers of Crawford, Dawes county, Nebraska, has written the BEE that he formerly lived in the Narrows district and is now g years old. He composed poem on Easton's mineral spring, 40 years ago and formerly con- pounded and sold vegetable medicines.
 Another mad dog has put in an appear. ance in the upper part of the town. 4 liver colored half blood Spaniel about twice the size of full blood, with tail cut short. It came inGo the yard of John Patterson with mouth open and frothing. His mother was coming from the yard to the house as the dog came around the corner and it jumped at her; fortunately she was near enough the door to escape being bitten. John Patterson gave it the contents of one barrel of his gun, the other failing to hit. It was shot at twice more at Charles Keller's. Charles F. Gilbert had his horse harnessed and drove out ahead of the dog warning the neigh bors to secure their dogs and get their guns ready. c. s. Everett fired one shot at it. The dog went on up the hill tow ard George s. Burr's, where Mir Burr and MT Gilbert met it. The dog was standing still and Mir Burr thought in a spasm. When it saw them, it started toward them with open mouth. When within two rods, Mir Burr took aim and killed it; it was the hardest dog he ever tried to kill.
 George B. Sherwood has added to the convenience of his house by taking out the brick oven in the sitting room, mak- ing smaller fire place and two roomy closets.
 John Sherwood is building an addition at the rear of his house, enlarging the dining room, pantry and work room and making new bedroom above.

They were married October 10, 1880, and Mrs Whttlesey was given the custody of their five minor children. It is said that Mir Whittlesey knew nothing of these proceedings until after the divorce was secured and he is spoken of by fellow employees on the Housatonic road as hard working, tenn perate man. If these facts are true, he must have been done gross injustice.

from Long Branch to a person
al friend who had suffered a
bereavement in the death of his
mother. "After all there is
something tenderly appropriate
in the serene death of the old
Nothing is more touching than
the death of the young, the
strong. But when the duties of
life have all been nobly done,
when the sun touches the hori-
zon, when. the purple twilight
falls upon the present, the past
and future-when memory with
dim eyes can scarcely spell the
records of the vanished days

and by friends death comes like
a strain Of music. The day has
been long, the road weary, and
we gladly stop at the inn. Life
is a shadow, strange and wind.

"As True as Preachin'" {"

The man who knows he is
wrong is the biggest coward on
earth.
A little weed has no more
right to be in the garden than a
big one.
The man who does wrong suf-
fers, but those who love him
suffer more.
Between thinking wrong and
doing wrong there is not much
difference.
The devil is satisfied when he
gets a man where he can't re-
spect himself.
The train needs the airbrake
more than it needs the whistle
of the engine.
1t is much easier to backslide
at a camp meeting than it is in
time of shipwreck.
1t is a dangerous day for a
preacher when he breaches the
greatest sermon of his life.
The crookeder a man can
make other people look the
straighter he thinks he is him
self.
The road to heaven is up hill
all the way to the man who is
trying to get there without Civ
ing.
