A drayman lately unloaded barrel
of flour on the front step of house on
Grand River avenue, and the woman
of the house went out to roll it in.
The barrel was about an inch longer
than the width of the doorway. and
the woman found this out after while.
Then how to get that barrel in she did
not know. Two neighbor women
came over, and the woman's daughter
came out, and it was finally decided
that the barrel would have to be un-

out. 1t was very serious affair with
them until a youth of twelve came

GENTLEMAN FROM STANTON BREAKS UP

Last evening gentleman drove from
Stanton to this city to meet friend whom he
expected on the hslf-p past eleven train. On
the way he rade into wagon in passing and
completely demolished his own carriage,
which he was compelled to replace with a
friends team. Upon his arrival at the
depot he stopped among crowd of young
losfers who were conversing about the depot
and was making inquiries among them when
they jostled themselves and took from the
watch pocket of his vest his pocket book,
and after few moments made off.

man to make chase, but officer Legg, who

Low on the meadows the shadows lie,
The sun shines bright in the eastern sky.
And the merry Robin begins his lay,
To greet the joy of the coming day.
The gentle breath of the summer breeze
Its secret tells to the whispering trees.
And the swelling ears of the tasseled corn
Grow full in the breath of the August morn.
The world in wonderful beauty lies
Meath the glowing smile of the sunny skies.
When Hannah her pitcher hastes to bring,
Where the water drips from the crystal


spring.


Her heart is weary, her step is slow,
AS she sadly watches its cooling flow.
Once more has the drcary round begun,
That is ushered in by each days sun;
For weary life has Hannah had,
And her patient face has grown so sad,
Till the radiant joy of day new born
No echo finds in the heart forlorn
Against the rock does she sadly lean,
With a dropping head and helpless mein,
And often the bitter tear drops rise
In the gloomy depths of the soft drak eyes,
AS she sadly pauses upon the stone
To think Of the days, when, not alone,
To the flowing spring she would wander


down


TO fill the pitcher so cracked and brown,
And then to the old house on the farm
1t was carried by stronger arm.
But down by the hill where the streamlet


flows


There sad and solemn, yew tree grows,
And stately column of marble tall
Stands pure and white where the shadows


fall.


A quiet sleeper lies meath the stone,
And Hannah waits by the spring alone.
