Very deep the shade IS, and hushed with joyous

Who could lift a song TO such roof OF leaves?
In the upland valley the lovers danced and sang.
Down beside the river still their laughter rang.
Then they crossed the Cornheld. passed the

And knew the Wood of Silence where the
shadows wait
Once within its darkness came the sudden
change.
Each. quick glancing sideways. found the other

They forgot the wind there and the sun above:
In the Wood of Silence comes the end Of love
Out upon the roadway with the Wood behind
Still they felt its magic hold their spirits blind;
Though they strOve with laughter TO mask each

Nothing could unravel the spell the shadows
wrought
Not the failing sunset nor the falling light,

night
Darkness all about them. darkness in the heart

Of Gibson, Laurel Hill, Laurirburg,

A rural barrister was before a
country magistrate in Il case
where the plaintiff sought to re-
cover damages from railroad
company for killing a COW. Dur
ing his argument the county
lawyer used this expressive
sentence: ''If the train had been
running as it should have been
ran, or if the bell had been
rung as it should have been
rang, or if the whistle had been
blown as it should have been
blew. both of which they did
neither, the COW would not
have been injured when she was
killed. IS. S. Journal.
