Loss About $500.

Fire, which broke out about 3.15
Tuesday afternoon in Arson, destroy
ed the story-and-a-half house and
stable at the corner of Second and
Oak streets, owned by Absalom Ora
ham. The fire caught when the en-
tire family we're away and Its origin
was not known. When first seen it
was burning in the stable next to the
ell of the house
A heavy southwest wind was in
progress at the time and for a few
minutes 1t looked as If two adjoining
houses would go. The Madison fire
department was called upon and by
hard fighting confined the fire to the
Graham house and stable. But very
little of the furniture was saved and
that was on the lower floor of the
house where 1t could be easily reach
ed. The furniture was valued at $500
or 5000 with $500 insurance, while the
house and stable were valued at $500
and insured for $500.

The curtains of night are fast falling
The suns last ray is sinking
Ger the verdant hills,
Ger ocean and rill.
The shadows lengthen to twilight
And the stars one by one
Climb the stairway OF heaven
To say the day is done.
AS l sit by my latticed window
And gaze far into the night
A vision comes before me
That fills my soul with delight.
IT'S the vision OF a little hamlet
Nestled among the hills
And the Wesserrunsett flowing calmly
Past farm house and mill.
All is still! Save now and then
The whip-poor-w willis plaintive call
AS the moons pale face
Looks down on the old town hall.
What is 1t that thrills my very soul.
Memories of the past?
AS gaze on the peaceful scene
Fearing 1t will not last.
Yes. memories, mingled with JOY and

At that temple OF learning,
Towering toward the sky.
o! Many were the happy hours
Spent In the old town hall
Where schoolmate, classmate, teachers.
Welcomed one and all.
When the sun in all his glory
Lights up the Eastern sky,
Our memories wander back
To happy days gone by.
When we with happy faces
fastened on our way.
To that temple of learning
Ere the bell peeled forth it's lay.

AS the mist slowly rises
Over the vale of years
Our teachers come before me
With mingled joy and tears
How we'll they guided our footsteps
Ger the rocky way,
AS they led us Onward" and Up
ward"
Day by day.
But look-far out on life's ocean
Rowing hard against the tide
A tiny craft is borne onward
BY faithful hearts true and tried.
Now 1t glides into smoother waters
And sails calmly on,
Ger smooth and peaceful surface.
But harki we catch the glimmer Of
a song.
Now 1t strikes the stormy pillows,
o. how hard 1t seems.
But the lighthouse in the distance
Against stormy sky doth CLEAN
Ever Onward" is our watchword
And that faithful beacon light
Guides us safely Ger the waters
Thro' the darkest night.
But the vision deepens,
And as the veil of mysteries slowly
rise.
The rosy tints of morning
Adorns the Eastern sky
hear the voices of classmates
Inc OF nuTTIeu IeeI
Hast ening To that temple of learning
Where pupils and teachers meet.
Once more we enter the hallway,
And clasp each others hand;
But time has wrought many changes
To the once happy band.
Yet happy are the faces
Who have gathered here.
To renew old acquaintance
And review the by-gone years.
Some had journeyed to the Eastward.
Some to the far OFF West,
Some are numbered with the loved
Long gone to a peaceful rest.
But the voices are growing fainter
And | strain my eyes to see
That little craft borne onward
By the waves far out at sea.
The moon is still shedding
Its pale light DER the scene
And the tiny stars shine out
Ger hamlet and stream.
Once more I face the sunset
Where the frightening shadows fan,
But the vision has vanished
And darkness covers all.
The Wesserrunsett stills flows onward,
Past farm house and mill,
Ara tho old temple of learning
Stands firm upon the hill.
When the sunset Of life is upon Ms.
Silver threads among the gold
And the pearly gates of heaven
For us gently do unfold.
And the little craft npon the ocean
Has braved the storms of life
Nav Ii enter the ocean of eternity
Forever free from strife.
