The Sanset Land.
Ob! dlraly through the mist of yearn.
That roll their dreary waves between.
The gorgeous stinsot land Appears, -Arrayed
In hues of fadeless green;
And from that far-ofT sunny clime,
Old, half-forgottea eoags arise.
And, Bteallng o'er the waves of time.
The sweetly lingering music dies.
As some bright Island of thesna.
Forever blooming over fair.
Though cold, dark billows round it be.
Eternal sunshines hover there ;
Thus o'er the silent sea of years.
Our eager, longing looks ars cast.
Where, robed In fadeless Spring, appears
The san-lltEden of the past.
There memory weaves her garlands greeD,
Beside the lone, hope-haunted shore;
And, music 'mid the Arcadian scene.
Twines flowers that bloom for us no more.
Oh, hallowed clime! blest land of love!
Sweet paradise of early dreams !
Still through thy vale may fancy rive,
Still bask beneath thy evening beams.
And there they dwell, those cherished ores.
With snow-white brows and waving hair;
1 6ee them now I hear their tones
Of sweetness sigh along the air.
Hart ! how their silvery voices ring
In cadence with the wlndV low sigh ;
27ot sweeter Is the wind-harp's string.
That wakes at eve Its melody.
They call us; see, they wave their hands
As, by the mirage lifted high.
That clime In all its beauty stands.
Against the forehead of the sky.
With wreathed brows, with laugh and song.
With tender looks, band clasped In hand.
They nove along, that love -linked throng.
Within the haunted sunset land.
Brave Little Dolly.
"Dolly ! Dol-bj ! Polly Dolly Ade
line!' "Here lam, when you get through
your noise," remarked Dolly, calmly
creeping out from a coroerof the bay-
mow, lier hair full of chaff and her
apron of eggs. "Do you want any
thing particular, or are you just hoi
Icringf" "I want something particular, Miss
Coolness," said her big brother Joe,
who stood on the ladder leading to
the mow, his head on a level with Dol
ly's feet. "I want to know if any
thing will stir you up?''
"Yes,u answered Dolly, slowly. "I
suppose I could get very vexed, Joe,
If you teased me hard enough ; only
you neverdo, you know."
"It's not my fault if I don't, you
good little duck," enid Joe remorseful
ly. "I will help you down with your
eggs, for mother wants you to take
care of Poppet while she goes to Tren
ton." "Well." said Dolly, serenely.
She was quite used to taking care of
Poppet. nd if you think that was a
small thing to do. I wish you could
have tried it once.
He was a dear baby brother, but he
would do more mischief in one half
hour than most babies think of in a
month.
Dolly loved him dearly; so when
she had -watched her mother and Joe
lrive away she hugged Poppet, and
called him the best boy in the world.
Then she began to wash up the
breakfast dishes, and Poppet proceed
ed to fill his pinafore from the ooal
hod and drop the contents into the
flour barrel, which his mother had
left nnnnvared In hpr hastn.
"O naughty, naughty!" said Dol
ly, when she spied the mischief, and
went to wash the little black hands.
Poppet gurgled a merry langh, putup
his lips to be kissed, and scrambled
away to catch the kitten and 6tuff her
head-first'into the jar of yeast which
jsvas set to rise by the stove.
Pussy punished tlvat deed by
scratches that made Poppat roar loud
and long, and refuse to bo comforted
until 4 patient Dolly .rooked him to
sleep, singing all the tunes she had
ever learned in her ten years of exist
ence. She gave a sigh of relief when she
laid him In his trundle-bed, and care
fully covered him with a blanket.
"I wish he would sleep an hour."
she said to herself; "only he never
doeB, so I suppose I should' be fright
ened If be did now."
Poppet gave bis sister no such cause
of alarm, you may be sure. In about
half an hour ho was out In the kitch
en, all pink and warm from his nap,
asking for bread and butter.
Dolly gave him & large slice, and
left him to eat It on his little stool
while she went down cellar to get po
tatoes for dinner. When she came
back, no Poppet was seen ; either in
the bedroom, kitchen or pantry.
Dolly called and looked, but only
when she ran out into the yard did
he e3py the runaway.
There he was, standing on nearly
the top round of the ladder which
leaned against the shed. How his
baby feet had carried him there, Dol
ly could not imagine; indeed, she
could not think of anything but Pop
pet's danger, and if Joe had seen her
white face and trembling limbs he
could not have called her "Miss Cool
ness" then.
0-ie step more, and the little rogue
stood on the sloping roof, laughing
with delight at his high position.
Dolly dared not call out; if he was
startled He would surely fall. But she
ran like a deer across the yard, up the
stairs to the shed chamber, up the
ladder to the trap-door In the roof,
which she softly pushed open.
Very gently she put her head thro'
the opening-and said, forcing herself
to smile,
".Nice Poppet ! Good boy to climb
'way up. Now come to sister, and
get sugar."
That was what Poppets liked and bo
he toddled'up the sloping roof laugh
ing and patting his baby hands to
gether, while Dolly held her breath
and watohed him.
At last he was within reach, and
Dolly caught him in her arms and
had him safe on the shed-chamber
floor.
Then she Eat down and cried, and
trembled and orled, while- Poppet,
feeling hlraeelf cheated, roared and
kicked and called for "sugar," and
pushed his sister's hands from her
face, until- she had to rouse up and
pacify him.
Poppet could- not understand why
Dolly hurried him into the honee soj
fttst and why she looked ell the door
So the fcouKV'SHcV poured' t lie content-
of the sugar-bowl into his lap, and
then eat on the floor and held his
dress with both hands.
But he liked tt, and Went on eating
sugar until home came his mother
and Joe to hear the whole story.
"My brave little Polly!" said her
mother, and Poppet wondered to see
them both crying and to be hugged so
bard by Joe, who rubbed his jacket
sleeve across his eyes and sniffed vlo
lently, before he said in a choked
voice t
'You got stirred up then, didn't
you, ducky?"
.Now Delly wears a lace cap, and
rocks Joe's children to sleep, while
Poppet is a tall man with whiskers.
But they all remember that day, and
Joesays there will never be in the
family another suoh a quiet, brave
little Dolly.
And Dolly fays she hopes there
won't be another Poppet to test their
courage. Youth's Companion.

How to Lead a Cow.
Every woman will tell you that a
man can be led easier by putting an
arm around his neck than by pulling
bia hair, but we never knew till re
cently that the reason you can't lead
a cow behind a wagon is because she
objects to having her horns pulled.
The other day a red-shirted emigrant
passed through here on his way to
Carroll County. His family and
household possessions were in a cov
ered wagon, to the hind end of which
was fastened a cow. Behind her with
a sharp stick, walked the emigrant,
giving her a smart welt occasionally
when she hung back. Every now
and then Bhe would brace herself
and stop the team, and then, in un
clerical language, he would beseech
her to go on, marking each forcible
period with a prod of the sharp stick.
The poor cow rolled her eyeBnud roll
ed her tongue. The poor emigraut,
too, was dusty and tired, but his voice
and stick didn't fail him. She had
suddenly halted the procession in
front of the post-office, and was shak
ing her head iu reply to his earnest
entreaties, when a mail called out to
Bed shirt thathe did not "understand
cow worth a cent."
"Well what are you going to do
about It ?" asked Bed Shirt.
"Why, just take that rope off her
horns, and put it around her naek.
and she'll lead as quiet as a lamb. If
sho don't I'll follow her a inllo my
self." The rope wa9 changed to her neck,
and the team started. She gave a look
of surprise, and walked along.
"Well, that beats all!" said Bed
Shirt, and without a word of thanks,
ne mounten nig wagon. The proces
sion moved slowlp on towards Carroll
County, and the cow followed with
countenanoe as placid as if she were
walking home at milking time.

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The country has passed through a flerco Presiden

faiinreof tbe Constitution toprovias Sny tribunal

DANGER OF ANOTHER WAR.
Bn! taere"are grave apprehensions that a mfHan

ltiwless and' violeut means to Induce the defeated
candidate Into tS? office of Chief Magistrate. A II
peace-loving and la-abiding men, irrespective of
party, must stand together iu IJiLs, crisis, and cruslf
out the Incendiary dernagfaeB who are threaten
ing to light the torca of internecine war, which'
would bring ruin and destruction upon thecountry.
The coming year promises to be the most event

President peacefully and lawfully Inangtrrated. and
to restore hnfmony and confidence In the future.
