THE arguments covered TO n great ex

demurrer to the complaint was before the

in defiance of the charter provisions, ana

Mr.. Donworth's Argument.

the contention of the other side two pub

In his closing argument Mr.. Allen said
that the ordinance was invalid because
things were permitted which the charter
prohibited From Mr.. Furth's statements
which were perfectly frank. no one could
come TO any conclusion but that an extern

such an extension within three years OF

BY o. c. wHITTLEsEY.
Four years have gone since last We met.
since last you smiled on me.
While here inger, esrth.bOund, yet
When shall our meeting be?
There's only One, know, Can tel.
The One that doeth all things well.
Three score and ten, and three long years
Have borne me on my way,
And brought me many bitter tears
To dim the Light of day;
Where ends it all ? but One can tell,
The One that doeth all things well.
I'm weary and so long for rest.
With loved ones gone before,
Yet, nature trembles at the test,
The parting bresth-"no more
When sounds the sad funereal bell
And yet, He doeth all things we'll.
Through lifes long course I've erred and
strsyed
Into forbidden ways.
And many crooked paths have made
That led to sorry days,
fee 1t now, od age will tell.
But Father doeth all things well.
When life is young and hearts are light
And Hope spreads gsudy wing
We keep our faces to the bright,
And list the Syren sing,
But when old age comes on apsce,
We pray, God give us dying grace
For death must come to al, we know,
And TO the old 50 soon;
Who then record, true, can show,
With heart strings sli in tune?
In Him DER all, we can but trust,
Who eer remembers We are duet.
Ones death is better than his birth,
The holy scripture saith,
Mans final exit from the earth,
II on the wings of faith,
Will bsaf him TO that bliss above,
Where all is peace and all is love.
Where kindred meet and ever dwell
With Him who doeth all things well.
