The idle man is never useful man
and seldom a contented one.

Somehow" remarks the Fort
Dodge Messenger philosopher, "life
upsets all theories, even of retribu-
ton. People do not get what they de-
serve always, and often people get
more than they deserve. 1t will have
to be evened up somewhere beyond;
it is too hard for u.s."

. SEPTEMBER.

Pale in her fading bowers and sum-
mer stands,
Like new Niobe with clasped hands,
Silent above the flowers, her children
lost,
Slain by the arrows Of the early frost.
The clouded Heaven above is pale and
gray,
The misty Earth below is wan and
drear,
The baying winds chase all the leaves
away,
AS cruel hounds pursue the trembling
deer;
1T rs solemn time, the sunset of the
year"

According to the Dubuque Tele-

sided man, capable of all sorts of pol

doctrinal 16 to l man, but in favor of
reaffirming the 16 to Kansas City

in it now,but thinks it would be a

he favors Concessions and compro-
