The Stuart Ledger has a habil
of knocking'but we don't think
many licks hit amiss though per
haps it is hard on those who per
sist in pilfering editorials and re
writing some oneselse work. The

We admire that trait of charactei
that would not copy anothers writ
ing witout giving credit.

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.
