The Optlmlst

In this world ofec3I and trouble
Often life "A burden seems.
When our hopes bursted bubble
And unrealiZed our dreams.
Few will smile, for most would rather
Turn away their eyes and weep,
While the lines of sorrow gather
On the brow in burrows deep.
But the man of sterling mcttlc,
Who can smile at any hour,
Though he plucks a singing nettle
When he means to pluck a flower,
Who forgetful of affection,
Can a weaker friend assist
With IA brothers. true affection,
Is Il noble optimist.
Though the path OF life be weary,
Branblcs pierce the pilgrim feet,
Let thy countcnance be CHEEKY
And thy conversation sweet.
Though confronted by temptation,
While the devil lies in wait,
Scorn him, and wfatc'er your station
Envy not the proud and great
He who sees the Joy and beauty
OF each passing hour and day,
And delights to do his duty
AS he journeys ON the way,
Who arises if he stumblcs
And all evil dares resist,
Who his naughty spirit hunhlcs,
is Il noble optmist.
Life has thorns as we'll rs roses,
Life has sunshine. life has shade,
And the bed. where Death reposes,
Has for all alike been made.
Since the man WHO'S always cheerful
Even Heaven will assist.
What's the use of being fearful
Why not bc an optim;st.

In the office of the United States Clerk this morning an answer to in- formation was deposited in the case of The United states, etc, against SIX drums of whiskey and the Caspar Company of North Carolina.
 The answer to information is the outcome of an alleged raid on six drums of whiskey by officers from the Inter- nal Revenue Collectors office at West Blocton some months ago.
 It is understood that the whiskey was shipped to the West Blocton dispensary by the said Caspar Company, of Win sfon, N. c. The raid was made on the grounds that the said whiskey was sold at less than the cost of the revenue taxes, 1t being supposed from this that the said taxes had not been paid.
 The complainant in answer states hy and is now in possession of Joseph O. Thompson, Esq, Collector of the In- ternal Revenue of the United States of the collection district of Alabama" It further ayers that the seizure was un- lawful and recites that all the necessary taxes to the internal revenue office have been paid.
