Kicker who have taker charge with the latter as editor , The paper is changed to a six col umn quarto and named the Chad ron Times and is ( much improvec in appearance.

Did j-ou ever pause in } 'our happiest moments Close your ears to all sounds of mirth And wonder what all was transpiring On the face of this big old earth ? Did you ever look at the high , high heavens Studded with God's bright gems of light ; And long with an intense , painful longing For just one .glimpse of that inner eight ? Dil you ever thinfc were your prayers but granted All things revealed inone grand view , Of the terrible sights that would meet your vision ; Almost too terrible to te true ? That here you would see a lone 01 e dung , That , Oh ! so little help would save ; And there you would hear the night winds sighing Through the flowers on an unmarked grave. That the sound of mirth , the roar of laughter , The hurry and scurry of happy feet Sweet strains of music , the echo after , Also , your wondering ears would greet. Ah ! so close to all the pleasure , \Yith blinds drawn down and dark ened hall ; You'd see hearts full of death's grim ' measure , -And hear the clods on a coffiin fall. That .through it all you'd hear death's - .rattle , Over it all see blinding tears ; TJbe'clash of steel and the roar of bat * Would never for a moment leave * - * ; . .ybui ears. All ! then we would not crave the knowledge , We would not wish all things to know ; But--cry with hearts quaking with horror , God knows 'tis best we do not know. ' ' MRS. MOLLIE SIMMONS.
