There is no death; the stars 80 down

There IS no death: the dust we tread
Shall change between the summer showers
To golden grain or mellow fruit.
Or raiubow-tinted flowers.
There is no death: tho leaves may fall
The flowers may fade and pass away,
They only wait through wintry hours,
The warm. sweet breath of May.

That deaven hath kindly lent 10 earth.

THE SMALLPOX STATUS.

The smallpox scare in this county is
over. True it is that a little girl
at Belle ISLE" in the upper end of
the county, has lately been taken down
with it from contact with some of the
sick ones up there, but there is hardly
need for further apprehension on this
line.
The lower part of the county, and in
fact the entire county, is to be congratu-
lated upon the skillful manner in which
DIR. Newbill handled Mr.. Mullen's case,
who, Notwithstanding circulated reports
to the contrary, is well man. Also
upon the happy fact that no one of the
many who came in contact with him has
suffered in the slightest any of his sym.

manner in which their cases were han
died should allay any uneasiness in re.
