A Message I'm Rhyme.

To the Howard Literary:
Here in the quiet of my chamber,
While my friends, are wrapt in slumber.
Dreaming perchance of fairy things.
Zen OF mortals having wings.
All, poor heart, what gift,
That through hope you will lift
To the holy realms above,
Some poor mortal you may love.
All. lest IN the relms of thought
/ come back to where 1 ought
Have stayed. But where is he
That follows one path to eternity
Not l, I'm sure, tbs a rugged road,
Very narrow and with load,
One will vary. Yet l think,
One may gain il near the brink.
Life, an what a boon to some,
To whom good fortune will naturally come,
But there's bitterness with all sweet
l have perfect happiness yet to meet
And, why, some one stops to ask.
All there's the rub. And quite a task
For me on paper to portray,
The faults of men and their way.
Why. I'm a man myself and who,
Wants the world to view
His shortcomings. yet for one,
1 confess the wrong is done.
Mainly from mans will, and OH
The heartaches, the world can't know.
1 sometimes think that ones adversely
Comes from ones own perversty;
Yet that is harsh, though experience
teaches
He is most hurt who overreaches.
or many modes OF reforming man
give to Bellamy the best plan,
And to ELLA Wheeler one step farther
To reform the boys reform the grand
father.
This is practical and think WISE
Instead of searching mid the skies
Come to earth and search the files,
Look up "Grandy" and his wiIes.
Reasoning thus how indiscreet
Our forefathers were not to meet

Be like a song sung DER and DER,
Extending on forever more"
Thanks, thanks. my friend, and may thy

Until before the bar of God,
You find eternal rest at home.
I've listened to my pleading heart.
I'VE sought to guard these scaldiug tears.
Yet every eche whispers, Part
With mortal life in early years"
Along the path my hopes decay.
And friends have followed one by one.
While I am left alone to pray
To God that my short life were dona
Last night,upon a rocky bank.
In silence all alone lay
And watched the moon until it sank
Behind a forest far away.
At length the mighty sun arose
And pushed the curtains from the skies.
The many birds left their repose,
And sang the songs of paradise.
At last me thought, that life is night.
Soon, soon all hopes will reappear
And from the dome joyful flight
VIII mark the end of this career.

TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
In Time We May Reach the Top and
Mear the LanreI Wreath.

In Time We May Reach the Top and
Wear the Laurel Wreath.
DEAR HOWARDS-The members of
the Howard literary club are many, but
the contributions are so few And why
is this? 1t is evident that the majority
of the members of this club hope to
sometime become the author of some
great and noble work. Perhaps some Of
us expect to begin literary career by
doing something great at first, but il we
are waiting for such a chance as this
we may be disappointed. for the road to
fame is a very rough one, and is pur-
sued only under great difficulties. Some
of us may-.think it is of no use 10 write
for this page because they receive no
compensation for IL.
But it is of much use TO US. for even
il we do not receive any compensation
for our work. il cultivates our minds
and prepares us for something higher.
He who would climb ladder must step
on the bottom step first and then go
gradually upward until the top is
reached. So it is with us We are all try
ing to climb the ladder of fame" and
perhaps contributing TO this page may be
the first step toward it,and If we perse-
we're and patiently take one step at
time we will some time reach the top
and wear the laurel wreath.
And now. in conclusion. | shall say,
let us take every opportunity, however
small TO improve and cultivate our
minds and let us remember that 1t takes
little things TO make great ones.

To the Faithful.

20 We followers prove true to your cause.
For you there is a rest,
When the bright and glowing sun,
Has sank in the golden west.
Christ said BLESSED are the poor"
For they shall see their God
In the great judgment morning
When they arise from meath the sod.
Who said "Blssed are they that walk
In unity and love for My sake,
And never from the way be called
These are the words our Savior spoke.
But alas He has also said
Ii you do not obey My commands
You cannot enter the heaven of rest
Which has been prepared without hands.
Blessed promise is this we have
In a bible fun OF truth
Which was spoken by our loving Savior
And needs no other proof.
Straight and narrow is the way
And few there be that find it,"
And let us strive to follow it night and
day
That we may at our Fathers hight hand
sit BROWN EYE"

Only a hoy,

Only a boy.
Only a boy with bright blue eyes,
Hair like the gold of summer skies,
Overlooking with childish glee,
Smile like sunshine to you and me.
From the nest that swung on the old elm
tree.
To her richest treasure, broad and free,
Dame Nature lavished with queenly grace,
Won by the smile on his fair young face.
But where is the boy with his frolc and
fun?
The day seems drear and but iH begun,
We miss the whistle loud and clear.
The ringing laugh and words of cheer.
The stern, cold man that now we greet
With studied phrase and courtesy meet,
We would fain pass by for the winsome

brace. MRS. r. l.. SMITH.

A HUSBANDS BLOODY DEED.
Butchers His Wife and Then Kills
Himself.

WAUSEON, o., July 9.-The most horri-
bic murder and suicide that has ever
shocked the people of this section was
committed this morning at the home of
Frank Bayes, a well-known young farmer,
living about four miles southwest of Wau-
seon The victims of the deed were the
husband, Frank Bayes and his twenty six
year-old wife. Their four-year- old daughter
narrowly escaped the ire of the murderous
father. Mrs. Bayes was butchered in a
horrible manner, her throat being cut from
ear to ear, her arms and face fearfuly
hacked. and her right leg almost severed
from her body. The neighbors arrived in
time TO see the murderer shoot himself
Insanity is the supposed cause.
