Ralph Stanley survived the trying
ordeal of Wednesday evening, Feb. l.
and is once more distributing the
mails with his accustomed regularity
A little more dignified, however.
What is the matter with our mai
system? Our dailies come so irregular

weekly, and the carriers seem to bt
developing the same habit.
G. OF THE J.
| cannot sing; it broke my wing,
That shot from brother Gray.
So broad and kind his master mind!
All, brother, blaze away.
When / aspire, increase your fire,
Bring ont your rapid gun,
Load well with earth, betray you
birth
How rude your misplaced fun!
You seem so stiff, tits just as if
You fed on roots and sage
Some tlowerless weed, perhaps you
breed
Or likely you're a Dago.
The Stanley-May puptials was al
up-to-date affair, conforming to al
the pleasant formalities of fashion. I
was proceeded by irresistible invita-
tions and followed by joyous recep
ton at the home of the grooms par
ents near Old Hamlin Friday evenin!
Feb. 3. Everything seemed to pa.
obeisance to the event. The U. S
mail refused to interrupt the merri
ment which ran so high that Februar,
had to run the mercury down to 3,
below in order to hold balance
Affections that can survive such (;
night will certainly never grow cold
This happy pair has betrayed al
aversion to country life by building
their home in the midst of the din ant
smoke of Old Hamlin. This is one o
those towns that the railroad missed
It's streets are strewn with mildewet
hope and the wreck of human schemes
Their freedom from superstition il
evident else they would look upoI
these as significant. But there ar,
many ways to view circumstances
Look at the beautiful flowers of re
form that sprang from the ashes o
Rome. In fact, the old ruins ant
failures of the past are but steppin!
stones by which we climb to the Joy
Gus heights of success. Thus we SCI
that it is in vain that we search TO
anything of evil pOrtent in connection
with this union. Ralph is an excel
ent fellow, and the prestige of success
as school teacher clings to his happ,
bride as close as he does. We find M
opposition to the opinion that their
will be among the happiest homes il
Iowa, and Iowa, you know is cen
trail point from which happiness radi
ates into the gloom of border states
out of ink.
LIFE.
Life seems but deadly wrangle
In wild and painless tangle
With despair
With the lamp of hope low burning
We keep crying "help" and turning
Here and there
To avoid Death, hidden, crouchins
For spring as we 60 slouching
Through the gloom
Hank! | hear low sobbing, crying.
Death has lea'ped some one is dyin!
~ In life's bloom
Bloodless. all disheveled, frigid,
| Hide this clammN thing so rimid
