And so love clover. 1t seems like a part
OF the sacredest sorrow and joys of l.Iy heart
And wherever it blossoms, oh, there let mR
bow
And thank the good God as I'm thanking him
now!
And pray to him still for the strength when
I die
To go out to the clover and tell it goodby
And lovingly nestle my face in its bloom
While my soul slips away on a breath of per-
fume.

A Brutal Deed.

1t is reported that a couple OF men
passing tho home Of Mr.. G. l.. Moore,
in Saratoga township, called his dog,
a ten months shepherd pup to them,
when one OF them in the very presence
of the family siezed the pup and cut
its throat leaving it half dead. The
man who would be guilty of such an
act would be a dangerous neighbor;
one just as likely to injure other do
nestle animals as the farm dog. In
deed it Is no uncommon thing for ma
liciously inclined persons toward the
property of another to, by some means
get the dog; which might bark at theil
presence at unseemly hours, out of the
way. Their calling the dog to then
as reported in this case, tends to show
that it was not vicious one.
