That never grow dim, that never die,
By the King for all His children were made,
In this beautiful land beyond the sky
over this fair land no sorrow falls,
This beautiful land with the Jasper Walls.
We loved the fragrant flowers Of earth,
But, oh! how soon they wiihercd and died
The sunshine and rain which gave them

Long life ard pcrmanency, denied
But the flowers OF heaven which bloom SC
Bloom forever and ever, and are free from

There's beautiful rainbow just over til,
Which shines with beautiful wonderful

The children of heaven are never alone
As from glory to glory they happily go,

from Pocatelo, Idaho, to the Republic
can says:
News just received from Long
Valley. in Washington county, says
there has heen u hattle between the set
tiers and tho shepherds, in which four
men we're killed and one man danger
ously wounded. Details are meagre,
but it seems that IL settlers warned the
sheep men to leave the valley and,
when they refused, made an attack
upon the shesp camp Thirty shots
we're fired by the settlers, and man
named Barber was killed: The sheep
men then returned fire, killing three
settlers. The rest Of the attacking
party fled
The trouble is the outgrowth of the
strained relations that existed in thst
section between the settlers and sheep
men for some time. II is not an TN
common thing for stock to be MANNED,
and baystacks to be burned, and ever
settlers and sheep men to exchange
shots. but no one heretofore has beer
