If old Rip Van Winkle should
waken just about now from his long
and silent slumber beneath the
mossy earth, he would be puzzled,
in driving through the country, to
know what season of the year it was,
as he would find some threshing,
some sowing, and more husking
corn.
Batty Murphy, a boy twelve years

therefore there was no offence, and
likewise no pull.

The farmers here are all busily
engaged in plowing the ground for
corn, aud a great many of our farm
ers are preparing to plant. Wheat
aud other small grain is in fine
growing condition, aud I think will
compare favorably with that of any
other season.
G. C. Smith, who rides a very
spirited horse, was thrown from his
saddle tho other day, but was not
hurt ; notwithstanding, he picked
himself out the mud, and after sur
veying himself a moment declared
he would be blessed if he wouldn't
put a bridge on that creek before he
undertook to cross again, and I think
he will, as he is our supervisor.
Our singing school has finally con

We know of nothing to prevent

that some are including dogs, while

And so she is dead:
Dead iu the freshns aud mirth of her
childhood.
Dead like a beautiful flower in the wild
wood "Where careless feet tread.
Her smile we shall miss
As though some sweet morning the sun
light should fail;
We shall yearn iu the night with a pas
sionate wail
For her lingering kiss.
Her birdlike sweet voice
Xo nipre with its prattle shall lighten
our woe,
Her sweet little feet shall not run to
and fro
In the paths of her choice.
"We loved her so well!
b! can this cold clay be the sweet lit
tle child
"Who never looked up iu your face but
she smiled;
Whose voice was a bell
"With clear silver notes?
Oht can this white clay be the rosy
riink girl,
These rigid white outlines the changea
ble pearl
Of her beautiful form?
These glass) gray things
Uave no sign of the hue that was graced
by her eye,
Her locks of pure gold cannot show as
they lie
The grace that life brings.
T is is not the child!
This cold thing is Death's, and the child
was our own,
She left us a part of her (had we but
known!)
Each time that she smiled.
She stays with us yet,
The pressure but now of her soft hand
I feel;
I hear her low prayer just the same
When wo kneel;
AVe cannot forget.
"We cannot forget.
And so ail Death's efforts to rob us are
vain.
She lives. O'er her coffin I say it again,
She stays with us yet.
