Thli spare is jriven for the use and benefit of our loeal writers ot verse, and we hope to make it a pleasing feature of the paper. To that end contributions are solicited, hut they nniat possess undoubted literary merit to obtain place and recogni tion here. liu. "Written for the Rcout. 1 wintui:. Now the days of purest feelings, Creep aloiiK the .it ream of Time, Like a ripple on the water. Lending to Life's song a chime. All i faded, all is withered. All nf.Minitner'.s beauteous scene, v But the fflorluus earth is shrouded Iu a mantle more serene, Sons and flowers, tippling brooklets, Fire of blosoinn quenched for aye, But the ilpplo-wash of Nature Brings new beautiei in each day; From the cold, cold breast of winter, .Crystal ilower.s from snow-drifts spring, Newer accnes will live and ilotirisb, Other payer birds will sing. Silver stars Hied down their lustre, Silvery Miow-ilake.s ever .shine; Charni.s fioin deeticr, purer blessings, Lend to Life a light divine. Riiifr of hells and merry laughter, Glistcniiuc phantoms of our soul. Now bedeck each quivering fragment Of the world's enchanting mould. Ah, could time grow (lowers more lovely Than the flowcr.4 of winter are? Could the reign of peace be freer In some high, rtnioter star? Aye, the universal welcome. Clothed in garb of purest white, Breathes to youthful scenes a solace That i.s truer and more right. Autumn's fragrance perished quickly For tho advent of tlio snow, And the Spring delays uneasy, And relit, t.mtly does go. Summer ii another a.-ason, Far rt moved from Winter's charms, The rcpillunt force of beauty Drives the snow from Nature's arms. Bright nnd clear tho azure heavens, Drop their rays of light on age; Dark the lloud of pas-don glowing On Youth's lircy, fleeting page. Hopes of Fame iii those do flourish; But in silent Age's home, Only Hope the hearthstone's cherish, Longing fur n higher home. B. V. II. WAS JT A THANCE? , Clenvwntor, Minn., Jan. 7. Willie Baxter, twelve yours of age, died to all iipi)ii:iriuic('s on Tuesday of diphtheria, and was arrayed in his grave clothes and placed in a coflin in the residence of his parents. Yeaterpny, while the family and friendx were in another part of the liotiK1, Willie arose stepped out of tho cahket, made his way to his room and put on his every day clothen. When the abs-ence of the body fioin the coflin was noticed I hero was great oonstertmtion, which was increased when Willie himself put in an appear ance as natural as life. lie said he felt as well as ever ho did, and played around for a while, when ho suddenly fell over dead. The doctors Kay Ihero is no doubt about his death this time. CATTLE SHIPMENTS. Tho receipt of cattle at Chicago for 1887 reach tho altogether unpreconcnt cd total of 2,381, 513 head. The near est approach to these figurcH was the l.OGa.HOO head recorded for 188G. This is an increase on last year of '117, 013 head, and an inereaso on tho largest number recorded for any year prior to 18S0 of 585,007 head. The receipts for 1877 were 1 ,033,150 head. Thus it is seen tho receipts have con siderably more than doubled during the last decade. Tho growth of tho cattle trade has been niarveloubly rapid, and yet of such a stoady and continuous development ne to dispel all doubts as to its permanency. KJ5NICWK IllSIt YOUTH. Mrs. I'lKcbo Chcsley, Peterson, Clay coun ty, Iowa, tells tho following remarkable sto ry, tho truth of which in vouched or by the residents o the town: "I am 73 yearn old, have been troubled with Kidney complaint and JameucM) or many years; could not dreainyoel without help.

Reported by Daisy Doll, Wo, the young ladies of Union, met tho other night and organiznd a Y. L. L. Y.P. S, which means Young Ladies' Leap Year Proposal Society. Miss Idylcarver was elected president; Miss Spanglefaco, vice president, and Miss Goldcnfriz secretary, after which tho following resolution .was ppread on our records : Resolved, That that young gentle man who refused tho hand, and other contingencies , of each of thrco respec table young ladies, who proposed to him, be, and hereby is forever barred fiom attending any of our meetings, until such lime as he shall have repen ted of his ungcntlcmanly act, when we will again receivo him into our favor. Our next mooting will bo hold at Miss Powderfaco'H home. At our party the other night, a yoting lady said to one of Thk Scout poets a young man, of course: She, "I'd like to be a poot And witli a poet stand." lie, ''I'd like to pop tho question, But I haven't got tho sand."

Tho fashion of the day for traveling is going through fields and fences in stead of on tho road. Liines full of snow and thermometer all friz up. There is one, and but one, Inmost, honorable anil wise way of disposing of the surplus, accumulated in (ho treasury of the United States. That ono w.ty is lo pay tho debt-? of tho Uni ted States with it. The total cost of tho armies of the several powers for tho year ISS7 is almost enough to liquidate our nation al debt which to heavily oppresses the people, or, if divided among the peo ple of the several nations would go far to relieve them of oppressive burdens. Is not this worthy of thu consideration of every thinking man? Only think what it great amount of good might have been done with this worse than useless expenditure of money had it, been applied in accordance with the great teacher who canio to proclaim peace on earth and good will to men. Practically considered what eflVet has tho Grand Army of the Republic camp fires, etc., etc., in bringing about ponce on earth and good will to men. But I leave this question with the conscience of those engaged in these things to say whether they are what' Christ would advise if upon earth. Was a tithe of the time, money and interest now employed in keeping alive a war spirit, used in tho propagation of the principles of peace, two decades would not pass until tho people of our own land would realize its beneficent ef fects. Instead of tho cry "In time of peace preparo fur war" the cry should be at all times prepare for peace. Its salutary effects woutd be marked and beneficial. This is a prolific theme but 1 am admonished that 1 must stop. Homo. WHO IS VOUK I'.KST FHIISNn? Your btomnch of course. Why?

Uondersholt, tho drum mer boy of Rappahannock, assisted by his son, also by local talent, will give an entertainment at Wright's hall, Cove, on Friday evening, Fob. 10th, 1888. At the conclusion of the enter tainment a ball will bo given, Mrs. Jas. llendeishott furnishing lunch for tho occasion. A gentleman from Summcrvillo to day reports that on account of the heavy prevailing winds, carrying im mense quantities of snow northward, from tho southern part of the valley, Suminerville is entirely covered, snow to the depth of forty feet being ovor Main street. Our informant said the citizens had mostly dug their Way out and tho huge mound now hiding the modern Pompeii resembled a great and animated ant hill. Well, M, its just about supper time. IC.

I havo wagered a new hat that tho railroad is changed to tho opposite side of Pyle canyon insido of two vcars. C. C. C. One cold morning this week, tho senior member our mercantile firm whose initials aro A. J. Foster fe Son, on proceeding to his hay stack to mcto out to his bovine her usual rations of hay, made tho startling discovery that a wild animal had visited tho vicinity during tho night, and while congratu lating himself that his faithful cow still lived ho was horrified to hear growls and groans issuing from the insido of tho stack. About this timo he noticed a largo burrow entering tho hay and at onco hurried off for assist ance. In an incredible short timo seven able bodied men armed with dangorous weapons from a Parker shot gun to a buck saw appeared on tho scene and soon threw a skirmish line around tho lair of tho beast. A. R. Robinson being on hand with his woll known varmint dog, Ruff, urged his canine to enter tho liolo and dislodge tho quarry but tho dog with bristles liko tho quills of the fretful porcupino remained at a safe distance. From the actions of the dog, which wero the same as manifested on liko occasions before, Mr. Robinson had no troublo in learning tho identity of the animal uudor tho hay which ho paid was un doubtedly a bear. Immediately upon this announcement excitement roeo to a fever heat but tho junior member of said firm arriving at tho critical moment with a log chain, confidence was again restored and 0. C). Olson was detailed to start tho bear from its hiding place. By a fow well directed blows the monster was disturbed and, it its mad rush knocked Eugene Holmes out of timo, ran the gauntlet of knives, axes, pistols and buck saws and escaped to it neighboring bam yard, but not so suddenly but what all hands could ecu that tho cause of the great tropidatjon and alarm was an old half-starved uwiuo of tho female persuasion.
