A SHORT DREAM.

The following from the LaGrande
Graphic, is one of the prettiest ser
mons ever printed in SO few words ::
81 saw a dancing bubble upon
the silvery surface of a restless
river. For a moment it sparkled
with golden light as it caught and
held the sunshine glory, and I
thought how beautiful it was, then
it went down. For a moment the
river told where it had vanished,
and then swept on without zen a
ripple on its placid bosom. And I
thought how like our lives was the
bubble on the river. For a moment
we sparkle in our tiny spheres, hope
and struggle, love and long dream
and then go down beneath the sur
face forever. In short time the
tiny ripples we have caused died
out, and the great river of humanity
flows on undisturbed. So let US
strive with in our brief existence to
reflect only the shine nor mirrow
the clouds above US.

Your newspaper would be a fails

are right, and the minister who
will at ali times tell the bare truth
about his members, alive or dead,
would not occupy the pulpit more
than one Sunday, and he would find
it necessary to leave town in bur
ry The press and the pulpit go
hand in hand with white wash
brush and kind words magnify little
virtues into big ones. The pulpit,

YOUR MOTHER.

Honor the dear aged mother.
Time has scattered snowfakes on
her brow, pillowed deep burrows in
her cheeks, but she is sweet and
beautiful now! The lips are thin
and sunken, but those lips that
have kissed many hot tear from
childish cheeks, and these are The
sweetest lips in all the world. The
eye is dim, yet it ever glows with
soft radiance of holy love which can
never fade. Alb, yes, she is dear
old mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is,
she will go further and
reach down lower for you than all
others on earth. You cannot walk
into q midnight where she cannot
see you; you cannot walk into q
prison whose bars will keep her out;
you cannot mount a scaffold too
high for her to reach, that she may
kiss you and bless you in evidence
of her deathless love. When the
world despises and forsakes you,
when it leaves you by the way side
to die unnoticed, the dear good
mother will gather you into her
feeble arms carry you home, and
tell you all your virtues, until you
almost forget your soul is dis
figured by vice. Love her tenderly
and cheer her declining years with
holy devotion,

To my Customers, Friends and the
General Public.


As stated in another card in
this issue the partnership ex-
listing under the firms name of
VIM. Axer & Co., which con-
sisted of VIM. Axer and Robert
Striekert, has been dissolved by
mutual consent, and the under
signed will now continue to buy
cotton for account of Messrs.
Geo. H. McFadden & Bro, of
Philadelphia and l will have my
Office at the old stand on the
south side of the public square,
just above the Harrison's Dry
Goods Co., store and opposite the
Office of T. B. Bolts, where l will
be pleased to wait on my GUS
toners and respectfully solicit a
continuance of the liberal patron
age heretofore extended.
Respectfully,
ROBERT STRIEKERT.
