HOW EASY II IS.

How easy It is to spoil day.
The thoughtless words of a cherished
friend,
The selfish work of child at play.
The strength Of a will that win not bend,
The slight of q comraGe. the gcorn OF q foe,
The smile that Is fun Of bitter things
They all can tarnish It's golden glow,
And take the grace from its airy wings.
How easy it is to spoil day
BY the force of a thought we did not
check
Little by little we mold the clay
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste OF a white-winged hour.
That held the blessing We long had
sought,
The sudden loss of wealth and power
And lo the day Is with III inwrought
How easy It is to spoil a lifei-
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In home light darkened by sin and strife,
Or downward course OF a cherished one;
BY toll that robs the form of its grace,
And undermines TIL health gives way;
BY the peevlsh temper, the frowning face,
The hopes that so and the cares that stay
a day is too long to be spent IN vain,
Some good should come as the hours &c
by;
Some tangled maze may be made more
plain.
Some lowered glance may be raised or
high.
And life is too short to snon like this;
If only n prelude, It may be sweet;
Let us bind together it's thread Of bliss,
And nourish the flowers around our feet
-Watchman.

promised the Judge at the Police Court
that he would refrain from the use of
liquor and behave himself.
Impossible" said Judge Kimball. you
have been coming here ever since I've been
on the bench, and your promises amount
to nothing"
The records Of the court show that Oliver
lives in jail and on the farm more than he
does elsewhere, although his offenses are
never greater than assault, and liquor is
always the cause.
"Qliver's been in prison. said Matte
Adams, land he came from there to the
house in Freeman's alley to stay"
when did he get out Of prison?' the
court asked.
Thursday" answered Matte, land he
was drunk when he reached the house."
What did he do?'
"He created a disturbance, and because
Mr.. Carter wouldn't let him stay in the
house he threw a brick and came near
knocking my head off,
David Carter alleged that the brick was
intended for him, and he said he had to
hit Dorsey because the latter was SO bel
ligerent.
II know you too weI." the court said
to Dorsey, land only wish you would let
liquor alone"
The penalty was SIS, or thirty days in
jail. and fifteen days on the farm.
