His every look, his every word, His very voice's tone, Come back to us, like things whose worth Is only prized when gone. And when at last he was borne far From this world's weary strife; How in thought did we again Live o'er his little life! He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down; in the morning it flourishes and growth [sic] up; in the evening, it is cut down and withereth; for all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flowers of grass. The grass withereth and the flower thereof falleth away; but the word of the Lord endureth forever. Lord, what is life? 'tis like a flower, That blossoms and is gone; We see it flourish for an hour, With all it's [sic] beauty on. But Death comes like a wint'ry day And cuts the pretty flow'r away. Lord, what is life? if spent with thee In duty, praise and prayer, However long or short it be, We need but little care; Because eternity will last, When life and even death are past. -Communicated. 14 September 1858 A small comet was visible in the northwest sky, last Sunday evening.

He was arrested and lodged in jail. In his possession were found a loaded pistol, several pieces of candles and a block of matches. ACCIDENT. As MR. JAMES TRIMBLE and his wife were on their way to church on Sunday, riding in a one-horse buggey, the animal took fright near the "water-trough," about a mile from town. The buggy was thrown against the fence on the lower side of the road; MR. TRIMBLE had his head badles cut by coming in contact with the end of a rail, and MRS. T. was considerably bruised. Neither, we are happy to add, is dangerously injured. The buggy was broken and the horse ran to MR. ST. CLAIR'S barn, where he was secured. DIED. On Saturday the 2d inst., MR.
