THE ANGEL OF HOPE.

0 see On the verge Of yon sky,
Where those chains of white cloud
mountains run,
Though distant, yet clear to the eve.
A sweet angel stands, bright as the sun
Its form Is not spoiled with a wing,
Like an angel of common degree;
No trumpet, or any such thing,
In its fingers can any one see.
But more like queen In full dress
In gown of an empires worth
Whose trail, from that cloudy recess,
In glory flows down to the earth.
Her tresses in ringlets unfold
And are floating so artfully curled,
And sparkling with diamonds and gold.
From the mines of the heavenly world.
Her face is the centre of life,
OF beauty and sweetness combined.
Where the light and the shade. met in
strife,
Make medly of chimes underlined.
Just out from the portal of heaven
She has come, (and she daily does SC, }
TO stand on the gold of the even,
And signal poor nortals below.
The soul that Encouragement chains
In the thralldom Of hopeless despair,
AT her presence its vigor regains
And rises to DO and dare.
A crown she displays in her hand;
And voice which the universe hears.
Brings down from the skies command.
Failing sweet on humanity's ears:
Fight onl Behold This is thy token!
By the fiat of nature It's given.
For every dear bone that is broken,
Shalt be honored and pensioned in
heaven. Too-QUA.STEE.

Just as we so to press to-day the town is
startled by a suicide at the Jail. a crazy man
named Emory Alexander, hailing from
Pennsylvania, was brought ID Jail here las,
Friday, after an examination before Justice
McGrew, of Brandonville. The poor fellow
seemed TO be under the deusion that some
body was after him all the time and going to
kill him Last night he attempted TO escape
when the Sheriff went into the Jail. lie
ran ont past HIM but was caught and locked
up in cell To-day the Sheriff took his
dinner in to him and then went to his own
didner, and went back in less than half an
hour 10 see about the poor fellow and found
him hanging TO the bars Of his cell dead. lie
had torn up the blanket from his bed and
made a rope out of it and by standing on
the bed tied 1t to the iron bars of his cell at
the top, about egh, feet from the floor, and
then jumping off the bed mad ehoted him.
self to death. lie must have went to work
as soon as the Sheriff left him. as he was
dead enough when found DIR. Showal,er,
the jail physician, was summoned, but moth.
ing could be done then except bury the un-
fortunate man.

THE MAIDEN OF

On, the Preston county teacher
Is no longer now the creature
We remember in the days of IN repu,e
But jolly, Jolly maiden

You will meet her in the morning
You will meet her without warning
When you come again to don your evening
suit
She will do some little trapping,
And he sure 10 catch you mapping.
Will the maiden who attends the Institute.
She will lay for you at dinner,
She will snub you like sinner
If you don, appear TO fancy her pursuit.;
She will haunt YOU in your slumbers
With her algebraic numbers
Will the maiden who attends the Institute.
She will talk to YOU of grammar
Till her tongue begins to s,ammer,
And you almost wish she wasn't SO as,ute !:
Tha, you might resort TO lying
OF some neghbor who is dying.
~ A"N HAaiNNn VINO attends the Institute.
She will speak of current history
With pretty air of mystery
Though of past events you find her very mute;
For the years have been too transient
To admit of things SO ancient,
With the maiden who attends the Institute.
She will use her best persuasons
To involve YOU in equations,
But her age you never, never can compute
When 1t comes to mathematics
They are way up in the attics-
Arr the maidens who attend the Institute.
Bu, whether in oonyersing.
Or in reading OF rchearsiny
us matter that is true beyond dispute.
They have strong contempt for clauses
That provide for any pauses-
Have the maidens who attend the Institute.
Oh, the bonnie, bonnie creatures
With the prima donna features,
rh'y are awful, awful, awful, awful cute
If you linger long in Preston
They will have you up at Weston
