The following line written by Addie
R. Corliss will show the esteem in
which she was held by those who
knew her best.
Our dear patient mother has left us,
Her sufferngs and trials are DER;
Her spirit has gone to its home in the
heavens,
To live on the evergreen shore.
Oh! we are so sad and so lonely,
Aswe gaze on her vacant chair,
Or look into the room called mothers,
And cannot behold her there,
But we surely cannot murmer,
That God has taken her away;
We know she was willing and ready,
And wished no longer to stay.
So, good bye, dear mother, good bye,
You are safe in your heavenly
home;
And we are hoping once more to
greet you,
Where partings never come.

realized. 1t stands the highest for its won

1t was qnite slashing Dory got
recently in the Press. He swore to
attend faithfully to his duties in the
interest of the township. No doubt
some of his constituents want to
hunt deer with dogs and if he wants
to be an honest servant of the peo-
pie he can't stay home and tend his
chickens all the time. The law does
not compel him to watch the deer
and the dogs III his neighborhood,
OF to believe all he sees in the pa
pers, if he can read them, but neith-
er is it proper for him to swear pos
itively to II fact when he don't know
it is to be fact.

WHEN WORDS FAILED.

Side by side in the moons pale light
Two figures sat in the early night.
One was a man who was half afraid,
The other a timid, shrinking maid.
A friendly cloud came over the sky,
And the man grew bold as it caught
his eye.
He reached an arm and he turned his
face,
And kissed that maid in the proper
place.
And all was silent except for this:
The lonely echo Of that one kiss.
She may have blushed or she may have
not:
She silently sat in that self-same spot.
While the man no syllable spoke aloud,
But waited and watched for another
cloud.
The cloud soon came, and another, too,
And he did what any man would do.
And still that maiden, who scarcely
stirred,
Just sat, and uttered no single word,
Until, as he gave her one on the cheek,
He cried: "0h, tell me, why don't you
speak,"
And the maiden said, with impatient
sigh:
mot now. Let's walt till the clouds
