i Written for the Hrot'T.l
11HVKU1J5.S (!' simimki:,
Tlie last rose of summer is dead, ,
And the leaves are now dead on the tree,
The hwcet woodland song-birds have lied
To the s-outli, with its wild balmy breeze.
i We havo roamed in the sweet-scented bow
ers,
Whe:: the woodlands in glorious array
Were gorgeously covered with tloweis',
But their beauty has all passed away.
And a .silence so painful mi sad
Falls pensive and deep in our heart ;
Not a t-ound, not a voice, that seems glad,
Do the wonders of natine impart.
And no with our summer-time joys.
They are s cut but they soon tias away ;
Some canker worm conies anil destroys
Their beauty or life in a day.
And then all Ik sadiu ss anil gloom,
Kclipscd is our summer of Joy,
And we sigh for a region of bloom,
Where naught can our pleasures destroy.
We cannot trust nature for bliss,
For all is deceptive and vain.
For what wo love best we first miss,
And the (lower never blossoms anain.
The sweet voice in silence is hushed,
Anil tho form almost angel-like lied:
No pleasure on eaith can we trust.
As we weep o'er the graven of our dead.
But when nature's Cod we shall tee,
in the beautiful land faraway,
ICternal our summer shall be,
And our joys never blight or decay.
In that land is no parting or pain.
And a cloud never shadows the kky;
It's the land where the loved meet again
Wc call It tho -sweet bye and bye."

accomodation of the same kind, which
was on last Monday night when the
young folks were entertained at Mr.

There are in every city some young
men, who, either from lack of moral
training, or ft om lack of brains, make
it a rule Avhen they enter a house
where it is tho privilege of people to
enter, and force their loud motithingu
upon tho unwilling ears of those who
may drop in for a few niinuleB call.
Profanity and often obscene language
ia tho only store they seem to have,
and vie, or seem so at least, with each
other to excel in Ihis their only accom
plishment, with the idea that they will
bo counted sharp. But if they could
see themselves, as others of different
tastes seo them, they would, had they
any respect for themselves or others,
most certainly desist. It might be
well for young men knowing themsel
ves given to tho uso of such detestiblo
language, to refrain hereafter and cul
tivate a better tone.
Every man in town, especially every
business man, should use all due influ
ence toward building up tho town in
which ho lives and does business, no
matter how small that business. Every
man has some inlluence, and if till the
citizens of a place aro united and ac
tive in using their influence for that
place, it is bound to bo felt, Thrift
comes from persistent and earnest ef
forts, and no town, village or city has
ever amounted to anything if thvir
citizens sat with folded hands awaiting
for tho "good timo coming." Now lot
every man in Union strive with all his
might and main to make this placo
still better.
