“Now I Uy Mo Down to Sleep."
The Wichita Eagle says that the
following poem was left at that office
by an unknown man who came to ask
for work:
N>*r the camp-tlrc's flickering light,
lo my blanket heil I lie,
Guing through the shades of night
At tte twinkling stars on high.
O'er me spirits in the air
Silent vigils seem to keep.
Aa l breathe my childhood's prayer—
“Now I lay me down to sleep."
Sadly sings the whippoorwill
In'the boughs of yonder tree,
Laughingly the dancing rill
Swells the niidnigt t ipelndy.'
Foeraen may lie lurking near.
In the canyon dark and deep;
I,ow I breathe in Jesus' ear—
“I pray the Lord my soul to keep."
'Mid the stars one fare I see,
One the Saviour called away;
Mother, who in infancy
Taught my bahv lips to pray.
Her sweet spirit hovers near
In this lonely mountain brake;
Take me to her, Savior, dear,
"If I should die before I wake."
Fainter grows tbe flickering light,
As each ember slowly dies;
Plaintively the birds of night.
Fill the air with saddening cries,
fiver me they seem to cry:
“Yon may never more awake."
Vow I lisp, "If I should die,
"I pray the Lord my soul to take."
"Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the laird my soul to keep;
If I should die before 1 wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
From the Arizona Kicker.
We Can’t Sef. It.—Our contenipc.
ray down the street is tickled almost
to death becaue Maj. Hilden lias been
appointed postmaster in this town,
and because, as it affirms, the editor
of the Kicker got left. Wc can’t see
anything to laugh at. We were the
man by all odds among the twenty ap
plicants, and if Wanamakcr couldn’t see
it the fault was not ours. Wc expect
ed to get the appointment and ought
to have had it. The man that did
get it doesn’t know how to run a pea
nut stand, and if the Kicker doesn’t
make his life miserable for the next
year then we don’t want a cent.
As for our old knock-kneed, bald
headed, squint-eyed contemporary who
wears a grin on his phiz, we will see
him later. We are fishing to get hold
of the chattel mortgagejjiven on his
office three months ago, and if we suc
ceed he will hear something drop.
We Stand Neutral.—The editor of
the Kicker has been asked to express
his opinion on the conduct of Pres
ident Harrison in furnishing fat places
to so many of his relatives. We stand
neutral on that question, having an
application on file in Washington
to be appointed Indian Commissioner
for this reservation. Ifwe don’t get
the appointment we shall have a very
decided opinion on Mr. Harrison's
nepotism. If we do get it wc shan’t
bite the hand which feeds us.

Communing with Nature.
Close by the sparkling brook whose
silvery waters danced in the sunlight
and rippled joyously over the golden
sands they sat in silence—George and
Laura—drinking in the glorious
beauty of the rustic scene and com
rouning with nature in one of her
chosen shrines. Afar iq the west the
sun seemed to linger at the horizon’s
brim as if unwilling to shut out from
his gaze the lovely landscape that
glowed with a softened and even mel
ancholy radiance in his departing
beams.
A thrilling ciy burst from the lips
of the beautiful girl.
“George! George?” she almost
shrieked.
“What is it, darling?" he asked,
placing his arms tenderly around her
waist. “Has the romantic, yet op
pressive, loveliness of the scenery sad
dened your spirits ”
“No, George!” she screamed, wav
ing her hand wildly and making a
frantiejab at the small of her back. “I
think it’s some kind of a bug!”—Chi
cago Tribune.
The Sunday school teacher had
been telling the class how honesty
was better than royal birth, and to
test the force" of her remarks inquired:
“Now, Johnny, what is better than
to he a King?” Johnny was silent.
“I know,” said the new pupil. “Well,
you may tell.” “The right bowci.”
Somebody asks: “Why don't our
V young men come to the front?” He
cause the bald-liesded men get the
Mats first
In a sixteen page love letter exhib
ited in a, court in Providence the oth
er day the word “darliag” occurred
thirty-seven times, and yet the girl in
the case said it was a “cold, unfeeling
epistle.”
