SELECTED BY 1,. 1.. Sl’w.
Oh, grandeur of the years to be!
Oh, future all sublime !
Fulfilled within thyself we see
The promises of time !
There hloom within thy balmy air
Tl c rarest flowers of speech,
And action in the sun shall bear
The sweetest fruit for each!
We sow the goodly seed to-day
The many hands shall reap ;
We give the golden grain away,
Thy garners soon shall heap !
Who tills to-day the teeming held
Slight recompense shall earn;
Thy harvest-time shall only yitld
The glorious return.
Thy nights with newer stars shall blaze,
Thy suns shall brighter glow :
No gladder, grander yesterdays
Thy consciousness shall know.
Thy song shall be a pean grand,
Borne proudly on the breeze.
Re- echoed over every land,
And wafted o’er the seas.
We plant (o-day a single tiee,
Or drop a single seed,
And millions in the years to be
Shall praise the simple deed.
The thing we do outreaches far
Beyond our farthest thought;
The toilings of the present are
With freest blessings fraught!
With thy new light, 0 Years to Be !
Shall beam a brighter morn,
And manhood with thy dawn shall see
Its truest being born !
The earth will ring thy coming in
With gladest peal on peal,
For them shall gloriously begin
Humanity’s best weal.
And '.lien shall all the echoes cheer
Man’s rapid onward march ;
For him angelic hands shall rear
A grand triumphal arch !
No land shall know a desert bare,
No trackless waste a sea,
The world shall smile a garden fair
Within the years to he.

At Dalton, Oa., they pointed
out an old darkey who was to be
married that evening, and I took a
seat beside him on the Depot plat
form and said :
•Undo Reuben, is it truo that
you are to be married to.night ?’
‘Yes, sah—yes, sah, you’s hit it
zactly right, sah.’
‘Were you ever married before V
‘Why, bress your soul, boy, dis

‘How long since your last one

‘Jist free ssyeks nex’ week Sat

you have been a widower only two
weeks V
‘I recken not. sah. I doan’ see
how I kin help de ole woman any

‘And they tell me that you are
over 7U years old V
‘Yes, 3ah—l’ze riain’of 73.’
f And you don’t own a
chicken ?’
‘No, sah.’
‘And the bride is as badly off as
yourself V
‘Jißt 'zactly. sah.’
‘Don't the future look a little
dark to you ?’
‘See heah, white man,’ replied
the old chap, as he slid to the
ground and brushed the dust off his
coat-tails, ‘1 doan' like dat sort o’

A Gentle florae.
Eli Perkins writes ; My wife,
having been run away with once,is
always afraid the horse is going to
run away with her again. Yes
terday when Harrington, who runs
the Maplewood Hall stables,brought
up a span, he,had to stand the us
ual questioning :
;Now. are they very gentle ?’
‘O, certainly—kind as kittens.’
‘Did they ever run away ?’
‘Never.’
‘Do you think they could run
away V
Harrington looked at the horses
sadly and said ; ‘Madame, to be
frank with you, I don’t think they
could.’
‘Well, have they ever been
frightened V
•No, never. Nothin’ could
frighten ’em,’ said Harrington.’
‘Has anything ever happened to
them that would have frightened
them if they had been skittish ?'
continued my wife earnestly.
‘Well, yes, ma’atn; su’thin’ did
happen tuther day that would have
skeered ’em ef they’d been skittish ’
‘What. Harrington—what V
‘Why, I was driviu’ along down
the Woolsev hill; a storm came up,
an’ six streaks of lightnin’ struck
them horses right on the head
and— ’
•Did they run ?’
‘No, ma’am; they didn’t move,
they jest stood still and pawed the
ground for more lightnin’. They
liked it.
‘An’, the next day/ continued
Harrington, ‘A city feller was
drivin' this team, on’ he let a rail
road train go right through'em.’
‘Did it kill them ?'
‘No, but the city feller was all
used up. But you ougiiter a seen
them bosses. They acted so.hu
tnan like, ILhy, when they pick
ed them out of the trees, they
walked straight up to the city
feller, took him by the seat of his
pantaloons —'
•Oh, my !’
•Lifted him right back into the
wagon again, and— ’
‘My gracious me !’
‘And then they hitched them
selves back onto the wagon and

There is a family in the neigh*
borhood of Lewistown, in this
county, of which the following
marvelous history has just been
related to us by a responsible
physician, well acquainted with the
facts. Some fifteen or twenty
years ago the father and mother
had a quarrel, and for a year the
former never spoke to the latter
A child wss born about eight
months nfter the quarrel, and he
has never spoke a word to his
father. They work together days
at a time, and the father talks to
his son, but be never answers. —
The young man has been question
ed in regard to the matter, and he
says that be is never prompted to
speak to bis father, that he has
never had an impulse to speak, and
that it seems to him that there has
never been any occasion for him to
speak to his father; that he bears
his father no ill will, and would
speak to him should ho ever be
prompted so to do. [Mechanics

They were sitting on a log near

‘And you love me V he said.
‘Can you ask it ?’ she answered.
‘I like to hear you say the sweet
words over and over again,’ he
gurgled.
‘Then I do love you and love
you,’ she twittered.
‘And 1 must leave you to-mor

‘Don’t sav it, dear heart, don’t

‘And what will rnv darling do

An Arkansas editor in retiring
from the editorial control of a
newspaper, said: ‘lt is with a feel

the active control of this paper,but

financially to handle it. That
gentleman is well known in this
community. He is the Sheriff.’
A Livet) Toad.
While the foundation or pillars
for the railroad bridge across Flint
river, at Montezuma. Ga., was be
ing constructed, one of the work
men placed a toad in the crevice of
a rock and fitted another rock over
the crerice, and then made the
abodo of the toad air tight by means
of mortar. After sixteen years,
when it became necessary to re
pair the pillar, the workman who
placed the toad Ir. it remembered
the circumstance, and, upon exam
ination, found the toad still alive.

A Dakota girl has earned her right
to the endearing title of “duck.” W hile

A Methodist minister of Trenton
N. J., has recently preached a sennoo
ic favor of dancing. More than this,
he has told the young people, and es
pecially the young girls of the Metho
(list denomination, that there is ao
harm in waltzing, and that they tnay
waltz as much as they want to. At
first sight it seems a rather startling
sort of sermon to come from a Metho
diet minister, inasmuch ns the Metho
dist sect has repuated’y and loudly
condemned danciog ns a device ofSa
tan, but it is not as startling as it seems
The minister who preached the sermon
in question approves ol waltzing only
on the condition that young girls and
young men waltz alone. With the step
and u oveuient of the waltz he has no
fault to find, hut he sternly condemns
the “close proximity” of waltzers who
waltz according to the established cus

Mr Jonc, beg-m Smith the other
morning, as they met at the corner to
wait for a car, is it positively necessary
that your son must play the aceordeon
till midnight for six nights a week?
Not at all, Mr. Smith, was the
prompt reply ; not any more necessary
than it is for your daughter and beaus
to sit on the front steps seven nights
per week and keep us awake until one
o’clock in the morning

for we are neighbors, but if you, Mr.
Jones, would clean out your alley, and
{you, Mr. Smith, would poison your
j nuisance of a dog, I believe I would
gain five pounds of flesh per week.
Hallo, Thomas ! saluted llrown from

knock him on the head with an axe!
“Sec, mamma !" exclaimed a little
child, as puss, with arching sjine and
elevated rudder, strutted around the
table, “see. kitty's eaten so much she
can’t shut her tail down !”
“What is the matter now!" asked
a fashionable Austin lady of her bus
bum!, who seemed to be depressed.
“I’m feeling very badly. I’ui afraid
I’m not long for this world,” was the
reply.
“Fiddle sticks.”
‘No ! I'ui in earnest. It will not be
long before you will be walking to tho
grave yard behind my coffin ”
“That’s just where you are fooling
yourself. I'll ride in a carriage or else
I’ll not be in the processional all."
