OUR POETS.
This sjiace is given for the use and
benefit ol our local writers of verse,
and we hope to make it a pleasinu feature
of the paper. To that end contributions "are
solicited, but they must possess undoubted
literary merit to" obtain place and recogni
tion here. Ki.
Written for the Scour.)
HOMK,
When daily tasks are done, and tired hands
Lie .still and folded on the resting knee;
When loving thoughts have leave to looe
their bands.
And wander over past and future free;
When visions bright of love and hopeful
tilled, Bring weary eves a spark of olden lire;
One castle fairer than the rest we build,
One blessing more than others we desire;
A hemic, our home, wherein all waiting past.
We two may stand together, and alone;
Our patient task work finished, and at last
Love's perfect blessedness and peace our
own.
Some little nest of safety and delight,
Guarded by (iod's Angels day anil night.
We cannot guess if this dear home shall lie
In some green spot, embowered with arch
liifj trees,
Where bird-notes joined with brook-notes
gliding by,
Shall make us music as wo sit at ease
Or if amid the eity'.s busy din
Is built thereat for which we look and long,
No sound withal shall mar the peace
within.
The calm of love that time has proved so
strong
Oor if Ah, solemn thought I this home
of ours
Doth lie beyond the world's confusing noise,
And if the nest be built in Kden's bowers,
What do we still, but silently rejoice?
We have a home, but of Its happy state
We know n it yet. Weare content to wait.

Miss Emily Ashby has gone to

"And it shall rain on tho just and

"There is a class of people in tho

away tho incessant Hood of tears."
We have some of that class hero, and
that is the reason our city iloes not ad

Mr. White, the dentist who visited
our .valley recently, did such a "land
olliee" business that he expeejs to re
turn to the valley in a few weeks.
Mr. Win. Hoth, of Union, was in the
valley looking after his interests bore,
during the week. "Hilly" said he had
to hurry homo as he had not mude his
garden yet.
Messrs. Pindel, Potter and others
who recently returned from Grande
Hondo, report crops but little in ad
vance of Pine. Vegetation grows won
derfully fast here when once started.
A Lodge of I. (). (). F. will be in
stituted in "Holiville" on the evening
of April 2:1, with Messrs, T. N. Profit,

Chandler, Isaac Curry, and others, as
starters.
Tho young sneak who has no bettor
or higher employment than stealing
along (where they happen to dislike
some one) and throwing open their
gate in hopes, no doubt, of damage
from stock, is, to say the least, deserv
ing of the "llinglishnian's" compli
ment that she is an " 'L of a lady" and
thetoby displays her "Into inwardness"
very plainly. Such actions are con
temptible, but when they become inju
rious as well it is time to make them
feel ashamed, if not totally devoid
thereof.

There aro two schools in session in
Pine valley. One in Fairviow district,
taught by Mr. Wise, and one in Kunny
Dell district, taught by Miss Stalker.
1 no latter scliool lias only been m
session two weeks, and much fault was
already being found at tho end of tho
lirt week, to the effect that the teach
er would not have tho fifth reader in
school, desiring those competent to go
in fifth reader to go from fourth render
into history, that children sat there for
days and did not recite, that a little
bow of about 11 years was carrying a
knife and revolver, threatening to cut
and shoot other small boys, etc., etc.
Wo don't pretend to know how true
this is, but wo do think that to "kick"
and wrangle is the natural condition of
some in distiiet No. .'10. Any common
school teacher with .'18 or -10 pupils of
all grades and sizes has too many
lessons to hear to do all real justice,
although it would seem that putting
hcholars who have not studied element
ary geography from fourth leader into
history is rather ''dropping a stitch."
Wo think that all pupils should bo
given a chance to iccite, ami that eith
er teacher, parents, or directors aro on
the wrong track when little boys 1110
allowed to carry dangerous weapons
and threaten to use them. Such ur
chins, if not checked, frequently termi
nate their career disastrously. The
young lady teacher is a stranger to iih,
but wo sincerely trust who may straight
en out her school and continue it suc
cessfully. Oa itit 1 n 11.

county is mild, balmy and siilubi ions,
and is well adapted to fruit growing,
especially tho peach, and a great many

for the reason that there is such a small
territory capable of producing good
penchoi.
