renders the primaries entirely devoid ol

the working men OF the townshipa the
careful selection OF delegates evidenced
the interest that will surely characterize

LOVERS STILL.

Hla hsir as wintry snow is white;
Her trembling steps are slow:
His eyes have lost their merry light;
Her cheeks, their rosy glow.
Her hair has not its tints Of gold:
His voice. no joyous trill;
And yet, though feeble. gray and old,
They're faithful lovers still.
Since they were wed, on lawn and lea
Oft did the daisies blow,
And oft across the trackless sea
Did swallows come and go:
Oft were the forest branches bare;
And oft. in gold arrayed,
Oft did the lilies scent the air,
The roses bloom and fade.
They've had their share OF hopes and fears,
Their share Of bliss and bale,
Since first he whispered in her ears
A lovers tender tale;
Full many a thorn amid the flowers
Has lain upon their way:
They've had their dull November hours
AS well as days of May.
But firm and true through veal and woe,
Through change OF time and scene,
Through winters gloom, through summer
glow,
Their faith and love have been;
Together hand in hand they pass
Serenely down LIES hill,
In hopes one grave in churchyard grass
May hold them lovers still.

Prof. Henry, of the Wisconsin state

gests the enactment of a law that all
fraud cheese shall be about 10 inches
in diameter to distinguish it from the
genuine, which is 14I inches across.
The change would break up the Chi

The cheese which cannot be separated
from it. Bandages can be torn of,
