Thomas Egan Sr. died at his home
in east Greeley at six o'clock Sunday
morning, April 8. This closes one of
the most remarkable battles between
life and death that ever occurred in
this vicinity. At no time during the
three long months of Mr.. Egan's
patient suffering was it possible to
disentangle the outcome from doubt.
not even by the combined efforts of
skilled physicians and nurses. For
many years the deceased has been an
active and highly respected citizen of
Greeley township In the history of
which he has written a very creditable
page. A wife, five sons, and two
daughters, and many grand children
are left to mourn the loss of one who
was faithful husband, a kind and
helpful father, and a venerable and
beloved grandsire. Undertaken, g.

When vivid conception of what
we should be is placed along side of
what we are we bow our heads in
shame in presence of our frightful i'm
perfections, and blush TO discover
that We are clinging peevishly to be-
setting sins. We face the disapprOval
of God with disgusting indifference,
but quail before the frown of Public
Opinion. When it so happens that
the climax of our interest in delicate
question comedies with the time of
our greatest facilities for expression
we are very likely to commit an in
discretion by turning out innocent
opinion loose among the savage senti-
ments of the times and be compelled
to stand helplessly by and see it per-
ish. Then with tears in our eyes we
bend over the dead body of our little
pet lamb and are Mortified to find the
ruthless teeth-marks of orthodox
wolves upon it. There came time
when our thoughts were crowded in
the avenues of expression and jammed
at the exits, clamoring for freedom.
Our opinion was crying for liberty.
We snatched up a pen. When it

from their confinement at the close of
a tedious day in the school room.

action of our utterances. But then,
if we have no right to express our
opinion even with the meager means
at our command, we have no right to

meditation, which means retrogress-

Yet, will your poor Soul rise and write
Opinions on your face.
THE oMNIPRESENT.
There's poetry in every thing,
The bird, the bee, the bug,
The hazy hill, peaceful home
Where baby's little hug
Awaits your coming in the eve
Those little rosy arms
Will squeeze all cares out of your life
And leave it full of charms.
1 The autumn morn, the winter storm,
The coming-back of Spring:
A stretch of happy summer land,
Are songs--Let's help to sing.
