The Reformatory Value of Happiness.

! believe it is Mr.. Stevenson who
says that the duty Of being happy
is the most moderated duty in the
world. And in spite of all we may
wish OF assert to the contrary there
is indubitaple evidence that happi-
ness, up to date, at least, has basis
in physical well being. l supposed

or too tired to be happy. And yet a
happy man, and especially a happy
woman, is radiating focus of re-

kimballton people are feeling good
over the prospects of thenew railroad.
The Great Western survey which is
now being extended from Hampton,
this state, to Omaha is already with
in the bounds of Audubon county.
The surveying party will reach Kim
balton the latter part Of the week.
1t is said on good authority that the
road is an assured fact and may be
built yet this fall. Thus it is not an
impossibility that before the snow
flies the steel will be laid down the
valley Of Indian creek and the shrek
of the great engines will furnish
music to hopeful citizens. In the event
that this should come to pass Kim
ballton would become one Of the
busiest towns in western Iowa and
would boom up in manner that
would make Rome howl.

and there stood the bakers pony and
cart. His master had left him in the
road while he went to the next house,
and the pony had turned round and
himself tried to open the door. Of course
we were much amused to hear what it
was, and the door was shut again. The
next minute came one loud, decided
knock, evidently from the door knocker.
That can't be the pony, we all cried at
the same time, rushing to the door, but
it was He was standing with his front
feet on the pavement, quietly waiting,

and sugar as a reward for his clever

ROMANCE FROM EVERY DAY LIFE.

Hiram Burs looked handsome enough new .ugi k,T4, Ihe hurrisd ;o the home of the girl he loved and was soon standing with her before the white haired minister who had known and loved them both all their days. It was a sweet, old fashioned wedding, but it's joy was nCe undimmed by tsars, for the young bridegroom had so soon to say good-by.
 Cora and Hiram Burr plighted their marriage vows in the little village or Clear Lake, Iowa, thirty-seven years ago. and three months laGer Hiram was fighting in the ranks Of the Thir- ty-third Iowa over many q southern field, while Cora waited and Wept and prayed like many another wife while days slipped into months. and months were lost in years. Then one day a messenger stood at her doCr, and Whsn the neighbOrs, curious and sympa- thetic, arrived they found her lying on her floor unconscious, with telegram announcing the death of Hiram Burt grasped in her hard.
 It was a long time before ths roses bloomed in her cheeks again. But she was young, and heart ou-groWs sor- TOW, no matter what the poets say to the contrary. In two years she became the wife Of Myron Knowles, and hsr life was as serenely happy as life can be until he died. She moved east up on her second marriage, and so did not know that a gaunt, half s,arved and ragged man had made his way from a southern prison ct fast and was pressing north to find her even as she took upon her lips those solemn vows which bound her to another. When he found out that she had mar ried he proved his true and noble love by leaving ehe place without making himself known After number Of years in a western city he obtained legal severance of his matrimonial ties and married again. This union was broken by the death of the second wife a twelve-month since, and Hiram Burt, restless and sOrrowtul, began travelling for an eastern firm. On one Cf his trips east he me; young man whose name was the same as his own. There was look in the eyes of the man that had lighted his dreams Of other eyes, and it was nCt long before he found that he was his son. It was q strange mee ting, and a. strange one followed l., ! for young Hiram led his father to a l woman, gray and bent with years, but | with the same smile he had loved when | life was young.
 She looked into his face shyly, ques- then her hands fiuttered to her breast.

SIT DOWN, SAD SOUL.

Sit down, sadrsoul, and count The moments flying; Come, tell the sweet amount That's lost by sighingi How many smiles "a score? Then laugh, and count no more; For day is dying! Lie down, sad soul, and sleep, And no more measure The flight of time, nor weep The loss Of leisure; But here, by this lone stream, Lie down with us and dream Of starry treasure, We dream: do thou the same; We love-forever; We laugh, yet few we shame The gentle never.
