Reveries

Life seems so hard at times, and
Fam would drop all its burdens with a
sigh;
And sink to eternal rest,
Where endless sleep should stand with
out
And guard from conquered's groan and
victor's shout
That seemeth best.
But life is all sea, swept by the
storms,
Upon whose bosom are tossed the
furies
OF souls overcome by fear.
Beyond the distant harbor surely his,
Where all is bright and the wailing
eighs
OF earth. / will no longer hear.
So then in faith I'll set the sail once
more;
And with unIaunted heart steer for the
shore
OF that divinest rest.
Where after life has been endured
complete.
Tis only JOY and happiness l shall
meet.
'Ah. this is best.

WILLIAMsPoRT, Dec. S.-Last week
we had gathered quite a lengthy COM
munication for the HERALD, but owing
to intense suffering from toothache, we
were unable to send it in. But tits all
over now, and we feel that most any
duty assigned to us would not prove
task.
on the 18th inst, number of friends
were invited to the beautiful home OF
Mr.. A. f. Moore, on Turkey Greek, to
be present at the wedding reception i'll
honor of himself and bride, nee Miss
Julia Hollowell, who were married at
Salem church, near Murtreesboro, on
the 18th inst. After the guests had all
arrived and chatted themselves almost
hungry, they were ushered into the
spacious dining room, where sump-
tuous wedding feast awaited them. The
hours were from six to ten o'clock, and
promptly az the tenth hour host OF
well-wishers took their departure Tor
their respective homes. Mr.. Moore Is
one of Williamsports most successful
Young farmers and a man of true chris
tian character, and well deserves the
level he has won. The bride is young
lady of bright intelligence, OF an attrac;
tive disposition and much loved by all
who know her.
Rev. IL. l.. Gregory flied his regular
appointment at the NJ. +. Church last

Thou art gone, sweet darling child,
Gone to thy rest in heaven;
No more shall thy sweet voice be heard
No more shall thy bright smiles be seen
Our aching hearts to cheer.
But when this stormy voyage is past,
And life's sad dream is DER,
Well meet again, o blessed thought!

A northern man travelling through
Missouri on horseback arrived at the
bank of river. There was no way to
cross it except by swimming; 80, dis
mounting, he tied his clothes to the
horse and drove him into the river,
swimming after him. Reaching the
other side, he dressed and continued on
his way. Before going 20 feet, howev-
er, he came to the forks of the road and
looked around for sign. There was
none, but just across the river, near the
spot he had entered to swim across, he
saw board nailed on tree. There
was nothing TO do but to get in and
swim across again and read that sign.
he swan across, and, after climbing
up the bank. he read the following no
tice: Give dollars fine for crossing this
bridge faster than walk. San Fran
cisco Argonaut.
