“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.

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.” 4 it) p Lv Waldo "" Ar 111 as ji a40p 4 5U p Ar Oalnoavlll.i Ar, 0 40 a ISOp 5 42 p Ar Archer Lv: 8 a 121.» p C 12 p Ar Brunson Ar 7 4Su 8 |Ar Oilar Key Lvi 5 30 a 1 r j W12STEUN DIVISION 1 2 | 1" 8 001 Lv Jacksonville Ar 320 p 2 15 p Ar Baldwin Ar, 2 35 p 140p j A r Lake City A r 1 08 p 11 22 a LIvo Oak Ar 12 23 r , w Madison Aril 13 12 52p|.\r Moutlcollo Lv lo30 2 02 p Ar Tallahassee Lv] 9 50 3 03 p Ar Quincy Lv 8 57 4 00 p A r River J unc.
