Life.

All, what is lifc2 so brief at best
A waking between rest and rest;
An insects trail along the sand;
A gems bright flash upon the hand;
a wave line traced on oceans shore,
Just rippled there, then seen no more;
A breath upon a frosted pane,
A moment warmed, then chilled again;
The shadow of cloud that stays
Until obscured by passing haze.
Canst think Of aught more brief, more fleet
To image forth Times flying feet2
Yet In the shadow" in the breath"
Our love awakes, which knows no death,
And life, which seems so brief to be,
Is crowned by Immortality

Death to the virtuous no terror brings,
But in the tyrant's ear there ever rings
knell imaginary, which casts a fear
Throughout his soul; he thinks the time is near
When shall pass from him all his iii got power
And, as he thinks on death, he breads the hour.
For him no heaven unbars its golden gate,
But in his bosom burns the hell of hate
Strange that a man, who knows how short Is
life,
Should waste his hours in most ignobe strife
Instead of cultivating heavenly love
The only passport TO the realms above
The only way to erring mortals given
To make this beauteous earth resemble heaven

 It is year since this paper started on it's mission to promote the movement for good citizenship. No previous year has witnessed such progress on the lines here in advocated. In three-fifths of our state the saloon is outlawed. The liquor traf- fic has been driven out from some towns, and in many others it has been made to feai the law. The general interest in the subject has been marvelously increased However smallsits influence, our little pa- per, like the boy. who "pushed a pound" and the "chocked" vessel was launched, has pushed in the direction of the mighty trend of the day. It can at least rejoice in progress. What of the future? The work has scarcely begun. Shall it go on with ever increasing power? Those who would cooperate must be in communica- tion. Even our small pages can tell what is going on, and promote harmony of feel ing and concert of action, thus nightly helping the coming of "the Kingdom" " With larger paid circulation the paper could be enlarged and the quality of it's reading matter improved, besides widen ing it's sphere of usefulness.
