Derwood, Md

Over the shadowy river,
Across to the golden strand,
Angel hands have led him
Into the silent land.
Loving ones stood watching
The loved one fade away,
Loving eyes were weeping
Good by at the close of day.
Loving tones were calling,
Calling with bitter pain,
For lust one note of the voice,
Just to hear it once again.
But the tired hands were folded
Der the pulseless breast,
The sweet eyes closed, ah surely,
He giveth His loved ones rest.
He stood as the sun was rising,
Casting It's eastern glow
Into the beautiful eyes
Bent 80 meekly low,
Working with loving hands
Binding bright golden sheaVes,
No thistles, no weeds, no tares,
No useless withered leaves.
But bundles of golden grain,
Sheaves of deeds well done,
An what WOuiQ ulo lilO hnFo uOou
Had he lived till the set of sum-
In the morn the loving father
Said-"Come TO the better land"
arieve not brother and sister,
Some day you will understand.
Where he left off the strain
Take up the broken song,
You know how sublime 1t is
To suffer and still be strong.
Don't doubt the tender Shepherd,
AS the years go rolling on,
He will lead you out Of the night
Into the golden dawn.
He knows the notes Of your nature
To touch, or you fall asleep,
Don't shrink and cry, forgetting
His hand on the harp he will keep.

tice Of the peace made a violent assault
upon the officer and attempted to escape
In the struggle the officer was thrown to
the ground, but managed to free himself

bullet through his right foot. He then sur
rendered without further trouble. Upon
his arrival he was taken to the Office of Dr..
