Every Year.
l feel It's growing colder
Every yeai
And my Eeart, 's;''- gets otter
Ercry yeas.
win no now ahe,i on;
have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow ard detection
Every year.
Of the loves and sorrows blended
Every year;
OF the joys OF friendship ended
Every year,
OF the ties that still might bind me
Until Time to Death resigned me
Ny inf N tives mind me
Every year.
All how sad to look before US
Every year.
When the cloud grows darker DER US
Every year,
Whom we see the blossoms faded
That to bloom we might have aided
And immortal garlands braided
Every year.
To the past 90 more dead faces
Every year;
As the loved leave vacant places
Every year,
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us;
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat US,
Every year.
Yes, the shores of life are hitting
Every year;
And we are seward drifting
Every year.
Old pleasures changing, fret MS;
The living more forget US;
There are fewer to regret US
Every year.
But the trrer life draws higher
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year,
Earth's hold or Ls grows siie liter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the dawn immortal brighter,
Every year.

Our regular correspondent says:
Farand b. Davis, who has resided in
town for thirty years, died at his home
on Wednesday evening, November %,
from paralytic shock which came on
Sunday evening. He was nearly % years
of age, and was born in Salisbury, and
was for many years school teacher,
during the winter months, in summer
following the occupation of farming.
He has been great sufferer from rheu-
matism and during the last few years of
his life was unable to do anything but
light work, which he persisted in doing
despite much inconvenience from the
great lameness caused by rheumatism,
and until within few DAYS of his death,
lie retained his mental faculties and
greatly enjoyed reading the newspapers
He rejoiced in the late Republican vic,
tory and hoped for better things for this
country in time. He was a strong tenn
perance man, and earnestly desired that
boys and young men might leave of
| intemperance before it be meddled
with" His friends hope that now he il
in that better country where sorrow
and pain are unknown.

due notice will be given, however.
There seems to be need of reminding
some of our boys that there is limit to
'pranks," as well as to peoples patience.
Endurance will cease to be a virtue
soon, am afraid; little fun is all right,
but the ringing of door bells, hanging

it, the guilty ones will be known. To
save further trouble, word is sufficient
pi Obably, to the wise. 1t is not always
