COMMON THINGS.

For The Post,
We hear song OF sweet accord
In one faint word,
Aud read out Mfes long sfterwhile
In one shy smile;
And one small hard that softly clings
A treasure brings
Beyond the wealth of czars and kings.
One fow'r stands out from all the rest
The loveliest
One day among a host OF days
Is bright always;
One treasure among treasured things
Nest pleasure brings;
One memory ever closest clings.
For as the glad. glad earth does hold
Both dust and gold
And as the wide. wide sea up-hurls
Both sands and pearls.
SO life. that every pleasure brings.
It's treasure filings
Hidden among the common things.

One of tbs asylum teams took a
lively run citywards Monday evening.
A singletree dropped on the horses
heels and caused all the trouble. VIM.
Mlnch. one OF the attendants, was
driving and sustained injuries TO his
back by being thrown out of the wag-
on. Fortunately no serious damages
resulted in the mix-up.
Lancaster was visited by severe
wind, rain and electrical storm Fri
day at about 6 p. M. 1t was the
worst storm of the season and
marked the close of an exceedingly
oppressive day. Rain fell in torrents
and vivid flashes of lightning followed
by peals of thunder terrorized the
cowardly ones. A number of shade
trees about the city were blown over.
but aside from this no damages of
consequence were reported. Out at
Daniel Aupperle's farm, situated a
short distance from the asylum. the
scene was far different however. The
large barn was struck by lightning
and burned to theground. Prompt ac-
ton on part otMr. Aupperles sons and
neighborS who came to assist saved
portion Of the contents but a large
amount of hay and some farm imple-
ments had to be abandoned on account
Of the intense heat. By deXterous eff
forts the other farm buildings were
saved. Loss $1,000 with insurance
of 5000. Mr.. Aupperle himself was
absent on trip to Dodgeville and
knew nothing of his loss in the even
ing on his return until he had ar
rived nearly home.
An infant daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Becker, Jr., aged eleven
months, residing in the town of Lib
erty, narrowly escaped death from
the effects of rat poison of which it
partook on the 4th of July. The
child was creeping about the house
and gained access to the pantry
Here, back in behind some flour bar
rel, a goodly dose of rat poison had
been placed to rid the place of h 10y
rodents, and it was hardly be * !:
possible By the parents that the - .
could ever reach the deadly >',cf
But the little tot did and that her life
was spared is but miracle. OF
what quantity she partook is not
known The mother was first at
tracted by the child's crying and no.
ticed that the little one was vainlv
endeavoring to eject something from
its mouth. The truth dawned upon
her mind and she hastily secured a
lot of sweet milk of which the infant
drank unsparingly. Mr.. Becker in
the mean time hitched up his team
and the anxious parents hurriedly
convened the little sufferer to this
city and secured the services of DR..
Cronin at his office. For hours the
spark of.lfe barely remained aglow
and it was feared that the deadly
poison had got in its work, but a
change for the better was finally noted
to the Joy of the parents. As soon as
its condition would'warrant the child
was taken to the home of o. Heber-
lein, brother of Mrs. Becker, where
it received the necessary care and at
tention until Tuesday when it was
deemed expedient to return to Liber-
ty. 1t is hardly necessary to state
that henceforth the fatal rat poison
will not be found on the pantry
shelves nor in any nook or corner
about the Becker abode.
