AS You Go Through Life.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
Don't look for flaws as you go through life;
And even when you find them,
1t is wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them;
For the cloudiest night has a hint of light
Somewhere in its shadowy hiding;
1t is better far to hunt for a star,
Than the spots on the sun abiding
The current of life runs ever away
To the bosom of Gods great ocean.
Don't waste your force 'gainst the rivers course
And think to alter it's motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe
Remember, it lived before you.
Don't but at the storm with your puny form
But bend and let it go DER you.
The world will never adjust itself
To suit your whimS to the letter.
Some things must go wrong your whole life long,
And the sooner you know it the better.
1t is folly to fight with the infinite,
And go under at last in the wrestle.
The wiser man shapes himself in Gods plan
As the water shapes into a vessel.

Seventy-three years old next month and almost re-
covered from nearly total blindness and a general break
down in health in which condition he was four years
ago, A. w. Morehead now seems good for another Is
years of activity. He came here from Woonsocket some
three months ago. He says that his health began to i'm
prove three years ago when he threw away all medicines
that the doctors had given him for his blindness and
other ailments and has not touched medicine since.
Now he is about ready to throw away his cane and spec
tacles. That he is keen of mind is evidenced in the fact
that he has bought a raw quarter of land and has been
offered $500 for his bargain. He expects to improve the
land and make a home on it in a few years.
The walking south through town Of a wild goose
that had become exhausted in flight or wounded recalls
the incident of a few years ago when a wild duck in it's
swift pilgrimage south at night flew through a
window in the old courthouse into a room where a party
ct card players were enjoying themselves, leaving them
in the dark as the bird struck the lamp and put out the
light. One or two of the party would not play after
that, believing that the duck had been sent by the Lord
as a warning against card playing. Another odd Incl
dent of a similar nature occurred south of Seneca in
Faux comfy when on a dark stormy night while a fam

having no meat in the house they were startled to hear
heavy thuds against the outside of the building when in

Buyers are here from eastern markets after potatoes,
paying 27a cents a bushel. The demand has not been
filled, although a good many carloads have been shipped
from all the towns. Many are holding a part of their
crop, predicting high prices in the spring. The largest
potato grower here this year was S. III. Putnam who got
$500 bushels from 20 acres of ground.
