Maw Court House For Plattsmouth.
A court house, or city hall, as it might
ic tei ineel, for this city, is much needed,
is is manifested nearly every day by the
desire of all public bodies for more suit
able locations than they are obligeel to
be contenteel with at present.
The citv council and its boarels, the
courts, and fire companies possess no de
sirable quarters in which to hold theii
meetings, anel the public feeling at pres
ent is, and has been tor some time, that
bett-T accomoilation shoulel be provided.
A citv hall, three stories liiiili, would
answer all purposes the public would
require ot ii. I he lower floor could be
used as a station house, hose house, etc.
the second lloor for the use of the coun
cil, city fire department and for the use
of all city meetings. The thirel floor for
court purposes, etc. Such a buileling
would be an ornament to the city anil u
Treat accommodation. It would also be
m emblem of enterprise, industry aud
wealth, of which the city could be prouel.
Surely, when it is the wish of the citi
zens of Plattsmouth who would be will
ing to see such a building erected, it rs
the dutv of the citv fathers to grant their
petition. Next spring is the time looked
forward to by all interested to see tin
work on this building commenceel, and
now is the time to make an effort in tin-
right direction and not wait until th
coming summer passes by and another
winter facets us without any advancement.

Weep not so sorely, mother mine,
It ts not as if I were dying;
Twill noi be death when I resign
This weary couch, where I'm lying.
Thf Bowel's die not when they close.
And no one dreams of heart yearning,
They may cot know, but my soul knows
I shall awake.in the morning:.
BM him come near who loves me so;
Fear not, I am strong: to bear It,
I have a peace he may not know,
And I would that he should share it.

Over this poor form's adorning.
He dares not weep to hear me say:
I shall awake in the morning.
A hand to each mother and Jim
1 know that you both are lovers.
So. Us can see when the eyes are dim;
Ptrange how much dying uncovers.
I never knew the wealth of love,
1 had far so little eamine,
Twill not 1)0 lost iu realms above,
When I awake in the morning.
Friends, tried and true, one last request;
Let me go this promise keeping,
That when this form is laid at rest.
You will not sin in your weeping.
JIjo same dear one who sent me here
lias spoken for my returning,
Tho passage is not worth a tear;
We shall all meet in the morning,

The Story of a Bracelet.
"Did you lose this?" inquired a little
girl of some strangers who were picnick
ing near Cypress Point, on the seventeen
mile drive out of Monterey, as she held
up a pretty gold bracelet. It was during
the (Jhautauquan assembly at Pacific
Grove, in 18W7, that a party was made
up of those who took part in the lectures
Co enjoy the ride, which is tho great
feature of a visit to the Ancient City by
the Sea. To come to Monterey without
making the trip would be on a par with
a person going to Saratoga and not
drinking at the mineral springs, or
spending a vacation at Coney Island
without enjoying a surf bath. In re
sponse to the child's question a gentle
man stepped forward and took the orna
ment, which he discovered bore the name
of one of the young ladies stopping at
El Carmelo, together with the further
description .that it was presented
to her by admirers during her en
gagement at the Ifaymarket theatre,
London. An inquiry as to whether any
thing had been lost" brought a negative
reply, but the gentleman, after giving
tho child some slight reward, carefully
consigned the bracelet to his pocket, re
serving a pleasant surprise for the even
ing, and all were apprised of the fact
that something would occur after supper
which would make at least one heart
leat for joy.
The trip home waa made without
special incident, and at last the looked
for time arrived when one of the litter
ateurs present, who had been appointed
to perform the duty, called on Miss
Eleanor Calhoun, the talented young
Californian, and returned her lost keep
sake, which, it then became known, she
dropped the year previous wlule lunch
ing at the same spot, and there it had
lain bidden in the sand to be turned up
by an unknown child's foot during the
owner's next visit. San Francisco Bul-
James McNeil, pf Cambridge, carries
in' his leg a niece of money which, when
an 8-vear-old boy in' Prince Edward
Island, he swallowed while running.

Tremendous Comet in the Heavens
A terrible ball of fire has recently been
discovered in the Heavens, and is said to
be approaching the Earth at the rate of
one hundred and seven million miles per
day. Astronomers are somewhat alarmed
as to the direction in which it is centered,
and tell us tlint if it does not change its
course, it will surely be the destruction
of the earth. It 1s estimated to be twelve
times larger than the great planet Jupi
ter, which is the largest planet of the
Universe. Astronomers tell us it will
soon be visible to the people of this con
tinent. It can be easily observed by the
people of China and it is said that the
