Oh glorious life! with double .stage,
How sweet thy joys to me.
I've tasted youth, and long for ago
, To set my spirit free,
I In earlier days, when sill was bright,
And songs of joy gushed from my heart,
' When .sorrow, at my will, took flight
Aim leu my muni, at ease, apart.
I thought that life would still he gay
That trouble ne'er could pass my door,
To mar the joy of one fair day
And that 'twould last forevcriiiore.
lint now, tho-e days are past and gone,
And drear have been the changing years,
'Til now, not old, I'm growing wan',
And know the bitterness of tears.
The pi ime of life is hut a lino
Whet c culminates our Jpippier task.
Thence downward do our paths decline,
And when we, mournful, ask
"I lath our past life been free from care
And have we, tint oils, lillcd our pint?"
A "Yes" to this h very rare,
Hut "No" is heard the most.

ing co bad that outside labor is sus

and U. C. Warinner vice president of

the board of directors.
From and after this date stages will
leave Ilaker City at J o'cock, P. M..
arriving in Cornucopia same day at 10
o'clock. This will bo a great conven
ience to the travel as there will be no
layover at Sparta.
Messrs. lien Stearns, Wid Wrijht,
Wm. nioom, Mr. Thomas and Alex
Cochran arrived in camp, from thoi
Covo, on Friday. It looks as if tlie
Cove had not fully digested this morsel
and the result has been a good old '
fashioned ''puke."
Dan Moore informs your correspon- ,
dent that tho object of Jim I lender-;
shott's visit is to get this partof Union '
county set aside as a seperato state '
and himself appointed governor of tlie
same. Jim denies the charge and says
he is entirely out of polities anil is on
ly seeking a market fur his fruit. ,
The committee appointed at the last
meeting oi the association for the pur- (
pose of raising funds and taking steps;
toward celebrating the coming -1th of '
July, inform your correspondent that
there will undoubtedly be a celebra-1
tion. and are talking of securing a brass
band for the occasion. Why not have ,
tho Union baud in nt tendance?. '
li. C. Warinner was elected a direc

Tho secret of town building what is
it? It is for all Us cilizeii.s to pull to
gether and work in concert. Towns
do not gtow of themselves, but grow
because they are peopled hy men who
know the secret and are not afraid to
prove their faith in their town by their
works. A citizen who is not willing
to do all in his power to advance his
town is a positive detriment to it, and
the town would bo far better oil' with
out him. You can't build up by
sitting on dry goods boxesor standing
on the street corners growling because
the lown hasn't inanufacturies and
everything it ought to have, while you
leftist) to patronize what it has got, and
send to l'ortland or Chicago for dry
goods and groceries, probably getting
less for your money by doing so than
you could get at homo. There never
was a town on earth built up in that
way, anil there never will he.
