UNUSUAL

Sunday was a veritable spring day
and the streets and roads We're alive
with people. A grAat many enjoyed
a walk out to Morgan. Grass has
sprung up and rose and other bushes
are said to be budding and some fear
that if a real cold spell of weather
strikes us. that many bushes will be
blasted. If such weather would stay
by us for any length of time, South
Amboy could be called a winter re-
sort, for it was certainly a beautiful
day. In the evening in spite of the
heavens being studded with stars and
the air being warm. it was very damp,
so much so that the sidewalks were
wet. What peculiar weather say a
number of people and there are no
dissenting voices.

I lost all hope, She said; "Because!'

Good Morning.


The curtains that hid the new year have
been drawn,
Its sunsets are fam and rose-tinted its
dawn,
And blossoms are finging dewdrops to
lawn!
Good morning! good morning! good

The ieldlarks are singing good night ON the
plain,
Rose petals are blowing a-down the green
lane,
The mockbird at dawning sings loud the
refrain;
Good morning! good morning! good
morning!
The old year has taken its pleasures and
care,
Its sweet and its bitter away over there,
And the new year stands smiling, a rose in
her hair!
Good morning! good morning! good
morning!
Put by all the past, its lead landscapes
and care,
The dawn is all crimson though night has
been drear,
Laugh back 10 the mockblrd his greeting
and cheer!
Good morning! good morning. good

Good morning! good morning. go glad
down the ways.
The future Is brighter for dim yesterdays.
The sun Of the new year sends warmth in
his rays!
Good motLing! good morning! good

A Wire Across the Sidewalk just
High Enough to Make Trouble.
A MEAN TRICK.

A Wire Across the Sidewalk just
High Enough to Make Trouble.
Saturday night two of the most
contemplate traps that could be set
for pedestrians were set on Borden
town avenue between Broadway and
Stevens venue. The telephone wire
belonging TO the Public Service troll
~ company had broken and fallen to
the ground. 1t had been wound
around Il post on the avenue and it
supposed that some boys had
pieces off of it and had fastened G
end of one of the pieces to Meinzer's
fence on the avenue and had strung
the wire across the sidewalk to a post
TO which they attached the other end.
Another piece of the wire was strung
across the sidewalk near Peter SLOW
er's residence from the fence to a
tree. The wire was about ten inches
from the ground. ST is not known
how many fell over the wires before
they were removed, but n man had
a bad fall and other one saved him
self from one, by his foot just touch
ing the wire. so that he discovered it
in time to draw back. He had an
armful of groceries and would had
no means of helping himself had he
caught his foot in the wire. On that
part of the avenue where Mr.. Slover's
house is situated, it is very dark
nights and it might have been the
cause of broken limbs or wen worse.
Anyone who would do such a thing
as to fix Il trap of that kind must be
very .depraved and imprisonment
would be what they deserve.

The Prairie Jackrabbit,

He's a clever sort of a fellow
With "a nimb.e. noiseless gait;
When he curves his spine for a spin
1t is hen the breeZes wait!
Perhaps he leaps from a furrow
With a limping hip~pety-hop,
But when he gets his steam up
The tempests backward drop.
The billiards. do not daunt him,
OUT on the prairie void,
Close to his back rest his donkey ears
Fur-encampt from the cold;
But a hound must be fleet pedal'd
To snap the wool from his tail
For he's Il deer in miniature
And cracks his heels at the gale.

with harp and lutte, so intimately twined
They were as one; now On a drum he
dinned,
Now on a tabor; now, with blow and

or sackbut and recorder. every where,
shattered the night; then, on "a sudden,

To bagpipe wailings, as of maniac grief
That whined itself to sleep. And then

Give me for friend the man whose friends
are few;
Who, though his heart be clean and
stanch and good
Ihoush every fiber of his soul be true
Is tactless, blunt, and seldom under
stood.
In such a drift God oft conceals a lode
Whose richness make Golconda's wealth
seem naught;
On such an one He ofttimes has bestowed
Large worth so hid it must be shrewdly
sought.
So, while the rabble fawns on him whose
friends
Are as the sands that rim the oceans
blue,
choose the best of all that HEAVIER SENDS
GIVE me for friend the man whose friends
are few.
