Rev. Mumby's View.
Patriotic Politician.

We sit, we listen and we learn
What politics are for the best.
Some things we hardly can discern
Which side will ever stand the test.
What is the best for most, we think,
Is what should be the ruling side.
Nor ever from our duties shrink
Right beneath the bushel hide
Which for the country's veal or woe.
Which has the patriotic soul
Orwhich will waver to and fro
So that the masses they control?
Is 1t ACKNOWLEDGMENT or power
Or Is It for a selfish fame
The bubbles of passing hour
Or Just to gain higher name?
The party oft has first, l fear.
An eye to all the greed of gain.
These tokens are SO very clear
We must, by any means, attain.
In politics SO much to learn,
And painful things we sometimes see.
Strange hidden workings, we discern,
So much that Is not grandly free.
So much of Ignorance we find,
So many are SO easy swayed,
By others of keener mind
And others by the thought OF trade.
Our ballots all be true and just
A duty to our land we owe,-
We say In God we put our trust
And then to other things we bow,
Shame on the voter who would trail
Our country's honor In the mire.
Dr would our liberties assail
To satisfy his own desire.
TO God, to Country, all be true.
On this foundation all may rest
Dur noble nation in review
By righteousness will stand the test.
Ys patriotic voters, hear!
One high Official serving well
And soon will come the changing year,
Let him again in office dwell!

Colesburg, Iowa, March 26th, 1899. She
was married at Clarion, Iowa, in 1896,
to Mr.. j. w. Platt and entered upon
the discharge Of the duties of the home,
with loving devotion, all the more in
tense, when God crowned her young
life with motherhood. Besides the hus-
band and two little children, one sister,
Mrs. Nellie Reed, of Clear Lake, Iowa,
the only remaining member of her
family, survives her. She gave clear
evidence of her acceptance with God,
and during her short life has greatly en-
deared herself to a large circle OF
friends and neighbors.
Fold the waxen hands
Across the lifeiess breast
She now dwelleth with angel bands,
The dear onehas gone to rest,
Gone our precious Mamie
OH how can 1t be
She, of the radiant smile,
We no more shall see.
But the awful silence
And the cold white marble brow
Tell US, Oh! too truly
She hath left us now.
All hushed, the ringing fOotstep,
And voice so full Of cheer
Failing in sweetest accents
Upon our listening ear.
A halo beamed DER the lovely face,
Rejecting innocence and grace,
Growing that noble head
With angelic light. and sweetness
Eyes Madonna like, love laden,
Heller than betit maiden.
Showed nature pure and good
Sanctitied by Motherhood.
But amid our grief and pain
We would let our burden rest,
With him who doeth all things well,
For we know that she is blest,
In that fair celestial cline,
The loved one is safe forevermOre
Beyond the ken Of mortal strife,
She has reached the other shore.
