INDUSTRY MAKES THE DESEKT BLOOM, WHILIi: IDLENESS LEADS TO KU1N. ' ' ' B I. r CP. Vol. 7. Bloomington, Wash, Co., JJtah,9Mebriavyy 1887. I No i; H 1 .fri H I M5 . The Workman's ..felappy . Home. HY I.. U. lYou wonder thsit-I um so cheery, " , As I puss ypu, day after dsiy, Iwith a workintfinan's cumbersome outfit, And his ill -fitting- grannonts of gray ; And you think such a life must be barren, Of the songs and the blossoms of ioy ; That it reaps but the thistles that rank Apd garners the cares that annoy. Ahl the smiles on my face are the toftcn Of home -love that never prows cold ; , Of tie clinging1 white arms of my children, ,. More precious than silver and gold. And to them, the plain, rugged father Is as dear as a father can be ; For beneath )ic frank, homely features, A spirit of kindness they see. So I sing as I bend to my labor, . And singing I. go to my home, And the toil of the day is forgotten In those hours when nolonger I roam-; In those hours when the silvery moonlight t Makes the lanes and the hedges all fair, And lightens my children's sweet faces, And brightens my baby's soft hair, So I rise with the lark in the morning, And like him I keep trilling my song; His joy is the morn's fleeting pleasures; Mine the treasures that last the year long ; In my youth for a home I was planning; In my prime that home is my own ; And thus will life's evening be pleasattt, . By the toil that my manhood has known. ' The working-man's path may be shadowed, But the heart in his breast will be light, If the toil of the day is enlivened ' 13v the r?st imd the pence of the night;. r! And the home where a welcome awaits hrm,' ' ; As surelv as evening.draws nigh, kls a bliss none would change for a kingdom, Ami a wealth that gold cannqt buy. N. .

He wanted justice. You could see that in his eyes afar off. He didn't want a little bit of justice weighed out in a gingerly iijaxner "and done up in a coarse brown pa per, but he wanted justice by the car load and at wholesale rates. He hitched his old white horse and dila pidated buggy in front of the drug store, mounted the stairs running up outside to the second story, and his eyes brightend as they rested on the tin sign on the door : George Boxem, Attorney-at-Law. The law-, yer was in. So were a two dollar desk, two fifteen cent chairs, a huge cuspidor, and a rustv stove. . "Morning." "Morning."1 Bin Jim "White, sir. Live out by Gray's Corners.
