CLEANING over the Ha1

CLEANING over the Harper
county papers we notice that
the commissioners of that
county have ordered the
county attorney to cease pros
ecuting the clerk civilly to
recover fees and that he shall
dismiss the action. That
board of commissioners have
an interest in the matter
themselves. They are liable
to a fine of 800 each for
making the illegal allowance
and it is not strange that
they desire the whole
thing hushed. But the case
has not been dismissed and
the band still plays.

PoL1rEEEsS AND ARROGANCE.

There trudged an aged gentleman.
A basket on his arm,
Was filed with goodly Viands which
An epicure might charm.
His cloth showed that his station was
Amongst the wealthy class,
And as he walked. younger man
Essayed by him to pass.
But az he did so, glanced askance,
Into the kindly face
And offered him his services
With such engaging grace,
That it Was just impossible,
His kindness TO resist,
So, that with condesceDsion, he
Allowed him to assist.
They Joined in conversation then,
AS leisurely they walked;
The young man told from whence he
came,
And how his plans were baked.
He'd travel'd far and wide, he said,
His fortunes to retrieve;
Some folks had kindly treated him,
Some feared he might deceive.
he asked for work and wages and
For lodging and for board,
But did not fix the totals which
He'd have his friend afford.
The masters only daughter kept
The lordly mansion fine,
Where hosts of wealthy people came
At stated times to dine.
The young man Ger convenience, we
viii call him Henry Scott
Was soon the masters right hand man
Was always on the spot.
Adsila's lovely face he saw
The masters only child,
But while he loved. he broke no law
And thus was not exiled.
Time flew, Adell was wooed, but none
Could win her heart and hand,
Her suitors ranked among such men
As Fortune could command
The father loved his daughter more
Than Nammon's lust or rank,
And hence he would not force her t.
Do that from which she shrank.
There CHANGED q time long afterward
About the same lone spot,
Where first the aged gentleman
Had met with Henry Scott
A gentleman on horseback who
Seemed ali the earth to scorn;
Whose every look and action show eC
He was to riches born.
He met Adella's father who
Was plain unto a fault,
And told him straight, with small ado
He wanted much to halt,
And spend the night at that fine home
The mansion pointing out
Where lived, he said, be oft had beard
A man much talked about.
ono doubt" he said. 1.-THE land-lor
would
BE glad of such guest,
For have worlds of money and
my pleasure is my quest.
$50, come my man." he said at last
why stand you waiting there?
go tell them i am coming, that
They may for me prepare"
Now all this time the landlord stood
Had uttered not a word,
But now he spoke, and gently, too:
TWAS l of whom you heard.
THAT mansion is my humble home,
''And at its rightful lord,
II say you'll never enter there;
.'Of that be well assured"
With fallen face the stranger left.
And rode at frightful pace,
Adell and Henry from the house
Had seen all that took place.
And that same night mid grand di
play,
Meath wealth and beauty's sun,
This noble twain of loving hearts
Were rendered into one.
