not received here until last Friday. Mr..

JOY happy eternity with Gods chill

John Irish must have found an Atm
lily, and must be spending much time
with Il, or we should have moro to
read from his ready and vigorous pen OF

crooked by the work Of rheumatism, nor
bis senses deadened by any other NAL
ady, until he Is transported In the spirit
to that land where the songs Of JOY
never cease, where there Is no pain, sor-
row or disease, aud In which good men
like j. y. l., and other local correspond
ents, are sure to find everlasting bliss.
