And bright, in heavens jswelled crown,

There is no death The dust we tread


Shall change beneath the summer shower.
To golden grain or mellow fruit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers.


The granite rocks disorganize,


And feed the hungry moss they bear
The torest-leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death The leaves may fall,
Aud flowers may fade and pass away
They only wait through wintry hours


The coming of MAy-day.


There is no death An angel-form
Walks o er the earth with silent tread
And bears our best-loved things away,
And then we call them 'dead;'
He leaves our hearts all desoate,
He piucks our fairest, sweetest flowers ;
Transplantea into bliss, they now


Adorn immortal bowers.
The birdlike voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree Of life.
Where'er he GEES a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for taint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in paradise.
Born unto that undying life,


They leave US but to come again
With joy we welcome them the same,


Except their sin and pain.
And ever near us, though unseen,


The dear immortal spirits tread

to elect a Mayor, or President of the Council, a
Secretary, Treasurer Town Attorney, Printer,

to be the most important, in consideration Of the
fact that for several years past this officer has
received fixed salary of one thousand dollars
per annuln, besides the pcrquisites of said office,
which it is said, sometimes amount to as much
as $4,000.

the Office at salary of $500, or even less, and
as the Council has the right to choose Consta
BILE, to fix his salary, and to employ him by the

he should not be appointed by the month at 81

SAGACTY OF THE Cow.-We have been told of
instances of sagacity in these animals, quite sur
prsing A friend had a COW that was very fond
of biscuit with sugar on it. She would stay in
the yard all day, bawling, before she would go
off to grass, unless biscuit was given her with
white sugar She would reject common sugar.
She seemed 10 have her feelings hurt if this little
point of etiquette was not attended TO properly
-and it was really her due, for she gave gallons
of rich milk every day.


Near Hartford, Con-, reside two old maids,
who had lived alone thirty years, under vow
of celibacy, for long time milking one COW,
when both of them fell SICK and it was found
that the brute would not submit TO be milked as
she evidently construed the act into robbery OF
her mistresses, for there was no way of getting
her to comprehend that they were in the house
sick At last stratagem was resorted to. A
young man in the neighborhood dressed in the
clothes of one of the sisters, and went out TO
milk. He got along we'll enough till the wind
blew off bis bonnet, when the COW, happening TO
look around just then, saw bis short hair, and,
detecting the fraud in an instant, kicked the pail
and the milker over together, and galloped off.

REMARKABLE AND MYSTERIOUS ESCAPE FROM


DEATH.


One day last week, as the morning passenger
train south on the Delaware r. II. was approach
ing what will (be when completely the junction
of the Pennsylvania and Delaware roads. col
ored man, name unknown made remarkable
escape from instant death. The engineer no.

the whistle for down brakes, but without effect.
The party seemed perfectly unconcious of the
approaching train, and the heavy timber that
supports the cow.catoher struck him on TIE
back and threw him some twenty feet The
train was stopped and backed to the scene Of
the accident, where the colored man was found
rising to his feet, net the least injured beyond
the breaking of couple of ribs He looked
somewhat surprised, and when questioned as to
why he did not leave the track in time made no
answer. 1t subsequently appeared that he
was deaf as a post. When the engine struck

municipal questions will only be regarded in
their relation to some uneasy ofice-seeker's

Few people ever stop to consider how
closely the interests of people making up
community like that OF Springfield, are
intertwined with each other. We are all
tempted to "go it alone too much, with
out thinking of our neighbors, s,--unmind-
iul that their prosperity is in measure
ours as well. The duty and privilege of
helping each other are too little consid-
cred. And In saying this, we have no
reference to giving aims to the positively
needy. We refer, rather, to the business
transactions every one must have with his
fellows, be they larger or smaller; and
we desire to protest particularly against
the habit so many people have of making
their purchases away from home.


As general thing we believe the peo-
pie OF Springfield do most of their trading
| and shopping here. There would not be
in our city such elegant stores, with so
complete stock of goods, as there are, un-
less there was demand and patronage
for them. Still quite too many folks of
snobbish turn OF mind, perhaps, or may
be influenced by what they believe is
economy, think they must 60 to Boston or
New York if they wish for anything par
ticularly nice in the way of house furnish
Ing or wearing apparel. To the former
class any remonstrance on the subject
will doubtless be quite thrown away.
Some families would be entirely unable to
enjoy new carpet unless they could say
it was bought at Stewards. though the

Boston or New York; and if they can pos
sess anything brought directly from Eu-
rope. either by themselves or agents, they
are never tired OF boring their friends by
the obtrusion of their happiness.


But fortunately the snobs make up only
small part of any community. Most Of
the readers of the Union will admit, we
are sure, now that their attention is called
to it, that it is the duty of everybody to
make purchases at home, as far as possi-
BILE, though they may never have thought
Of the matter before. In the long run
there is economy as well as propriety in
this course. Mr.. A., the shoe dealer, may
think it very fine thing,-or his wife
may think so for him,-to get his dry
goods and groceries at Boston, where he
goes several times u year on business.
But suppose Mr.. B. and Mr.. c., the dry
goods merchant and grocer, should take
to buying all their boots and shoes at New
York, where they go frequently on busi-
nesse Where would then be the profits
of Mr.. A. that now enable him to exercise
the right of selection in his shopping
"Live and let live" should be the motto
OF every community. 1t pays to think OF
other folks besides ourselves, in business
as well as in the family and the social cir
Gle. 1t will pay the people of Springfield
TO trade at home, if not directly in dollars
and cents, as we believe it will, then in
the satisfaction of having performed a du-
ty to their neighbors, and in their share OF
the general growth and prosperity

\ MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR--WHITE
WOMAN WITH CoLoRED BABY
Hickman has been treated to a genuine
sensation, in the mulatto baby line, an
account of which we give below, word
for word as reported TO US;


A fine looking, and well-dressed, white
woman was walking down the plank
walk, West Hickman, Tuesday last, and
when she got opposite the residence of
Mr.. Cobbs, she called to a colored
woman who was going into the house,
aud asked her if she knew a colored
man living in this city by the name of
Alfred Lynch, to which the woman re
sponded that she did not She then
asked permission to enter the house.
which being granted, she stepped in,
and went into the room occupied By a
Mr.. aud Irs Cobbs She then told
Mrs. Cobbs that she had a little baby
that she wanted her to take and raise.
Mrs Cobbs looked at the child and fud
ing that it was a muIatto, told her that
she would not take it. She then asked
permission to stay all night AIrs Cobbs
told her that she might do so, after
hearing the pitiful tale of exhaustion
etc After this Mrs. c. turned TO put
some wood on the fire, but as soon a
she had turned her back, the woman
laid the child upon the bed and slipped
out of the room stealthily without the
knowledge of Mrs Cobbs. Finding that
the woman had left he baby, Mrs. Cobbs
took it and gave it to some colored peo
pie, living in the same house. This mys-
terious woman called herself Mrs. King,
and said that she lived six miles from
Hickman, in the hills. She also said
that the mother Of the child was 4 white
woman. and that she had died some two
months ago. She stated that she, herself
was a poor woman having four children
and was not able 10 take care of it. The
baby is supposed to be the child of thi
woman, that it il the illigitimate off
spring of her criminal association will
a regro, and that she has resorted t.
this wicked way to rid herself of it.


The woman. doubtless, gave falls
name, as no one has been found that ha
any knowledge of her, whatever Th
supposition is that she arrived her
either by the railroad or from off


steamboat, and that her statement c
living within six miles Of this place
false. The woman can no where b
heard of; and what to do with the bab
is the question. Most likely it will de
