Playing Game of Life.

We found the following little prayer
in the Wichita Beacon, and it strikes
us that someone else might be given IA
spiritual slap on the back by reading it..
1t is from the pen of Edward Hunt. the
Kansas poet. 1t may be "highbrow"
stuff but it ought to help you to play
the game of life with little Drawer
spirit. Here it is:
"Somc day | know the evening sun
will sink adown its golden lane into the
West, but III have read the Greatest
Poem Of All and sought the solace of
eternal rest. The little children still will
play about, their laughter yet will rise
upon the air but |, who love them so,
will never see and nevermore for earthly
things will care. ...........
Teach me, o Lord. before that time
shall come to know Thy love holds sway
DER everything, that Thou art watching
all the paths we trod. from humbest
laborer unto greatest king. Lord, the
way is sometimes hard, the thing think
"A gift is oft a curse, but though l
stumble, still rise again and keep on 60
ing, if Tor good or worse, Help me to
learn the beauties of Thy world, the good
that lies within my fellow men, and that
as Thou hast willed so shall it be. Help

Moulton of Chittcnden, an act to amend

to salaries of county clerk, increasing the
salary of the county clerk of Chittenden
county from $2,l00 to $500, referred to
committee on state and court expenses;

troduced by Senator Steele, an act to
amend section 1898 of the general laws
relating to property rights of married

The senate took recess from 1890 to
/ o'clock.
There was little business transacted in
either branch yesterday afternoon, the
house contcntng itself with hearing the
report of the committee to canvass votes
for congressman.
In the senate the unusual procedure
was adopted of reconsidering Il reconsid-
Grafton. Senator Maurice moved that
the proposed changes in the rules be
printed in the mornings calendar. Sena
tor Villas moved that the senate recon
slider its vote making adoption of said
rules special order for 1890 on Thurs
day. Senator Villas moved to make the
adoption of the report of the committee
on rules a special order for Friday at
1890 u. IN. After these motions had been
successfully carried, the matter was sat
isfactorily arranged.
The root of the whole trouble was the
apparently insignificant rule providing
for the selection of the senate chaplain
by the president of the senate, rather
than by election, and the chances>are thai
some of the suppressed oratory of the
upper house may break forth on thai
occasion.
The resolution against league OF

to place the potential powers of such
a league squarely against the rccur-
renee of another great war. The rcso-
luton was referred to the committee
on federal relations.
Senate bill No. 5, introduced by
Senator Maurice of Lapoille county,
proposes to pay town clerks a stated
salary, from So a year in the smaller
