Say you old farmer with the
goat-skin overcoat and the faded
plush cap, next Friday is Christ
mas. Don't sell your jag of
wheat for a load of dusty soft coal,
two pounds of tobacco and a pair
of cowhide boots, and drive home
to growl at your wife. Why don't
you surprise yourself and her
once by taking her some little
Christmas gift? Why manitwouid
make the red blood tty to those
pale sunken cheeks, and glad
tears till the vacant hollow eyes.
It has been so long, you know,
since you made her a present.
Say, you large awkward young
fellow with the little bunch of
stout short whiskers on one side
of your chin, you who are always
scratching an old squeaky fiddle
and never can learn a tune, now
after you have finished your big
Christmas dinner, and your old
mother is trying to do up her
work is it the square thing for
you and your older brother to
put your feet on two extra chairs
in your mother's way and spit
tobacco juce in to the red hot stove?
Your mother isn't so strong and
quick as she used to be when you
were children. She has car
ried too much water since then,
and done too much churning and
the like. I tell you she is getting
old and lame. Mow would it do
for you and your brother to pitch
in and wash the dishes for her
once.

I saw the vvnr was finished nml the flavs,
Soiled with the liluod of iieroi'S, Uru Willi shells,

Save wheu thv feailu-rc-d dwellers of ilio wood
Spilled sweet, HH-luiUoUS uiuttic Mild ai.ht
The leau wolf prowled beside the eileni stream.
The tlelds where battles ruged were echoieau.
Old caution rusted by forgotten roads.
1 saw departing hosts. I saw strong men
Weep. takiUK final leuve of faithful comrades.
1 saw each soldier sad, yet over joyed
All the old bardtthips, ma ches, battle* done
And home, aud waltiug wife, aud peace ahead.
And ha'd the weary soldiers peace at last?
I saw there was for itiem no peace in store.
Their fields were waited by neglectful bauds
Their shops and nnlls cartosive time had touched
And o'er the slieut fort c- aud water wheel
The ivy aud the lizzuril crept alike.
I saw the soidiers had hut scanty thanks.
The dead were honored with cheap words ot
praise,
The living cheated of their sustenance.
I saw them turn again to their toil
With that sw«ct patience that only heroes know.
Take up their lifv-lout: H„'Ut with greed aud wrong.
O, soldiers of the Union! Not tor you
While you do lire to strive shall there be peace.
But your comrades, sleeping without iiain,
Heepinsjoii many a Southern battle laud,
Sieepiug where jasmine blossom aud where rose,
sleeping after weir noble tight in fought-*
Ah, to yoar wenry comrades tl^eie is

A little while and we shall look in vain
For your sweet faoes 'uudk the throngs of men.
A little while, and you shall ho at peace.
O, soldiers of the Ua4on, lingering yet,
alking a few more days with lis to stay.

The Blooming Valley corre
spondent of the HERALD-AD
VANCE wishes all those who have
the patience to read the few notes
that come from his pen a merry
Xmas and a happy new year.
We are told there is little if
any snow down in the flat around
Milbank we will say to the HER
ALD ADVANCE readers in that
part of the county that the west
end of the county has lots of it,
more than they have had for
years.
Hans Blastervold has traded
his farm in Vernon township to
Oscar Faa for his section in
Blooming Valley. Mr. Blaster
void has a farm in Farmington,
and in losing him that town will
lose a good citizen Blooming
Valley will heartily welcome
him.
MARRIED—Miss Mattie Otter
son, of North Dakota, to John
Narum, of Central Point, Day
county. Miss Otter son is a
neice of Supervisor Ole Bronson
of Blooming Valley, and Mr.
Narum has many friends in
Blooming Valley. A large circle
of friends wish this young
couple a long and prosperous
life.
We wish to take this occasion
to call the attention of our newly
elected senator and representa
tives to some legislation that will
be of benefit to the townships of
Blooming Valley and Farming
ton. When the town of Bloom
ing Valley was divided it was
sujposed that the school district
could also be divided, but the de
cision of the State Sup't of Pub
lic instruction was that there
was no law authorizing such a
division. At present though
Blooming Valley and Farming
ton are seperate civil townships
they are still one school district.
This is an unsatisfactory state of
affairs to all concerned and the
passage of a law authorizing such
a division would be welcomed by
the residents of both towns and
possibly by other portions of the
state. There seems to be no
good reason why such a law
should not pass, as in a new state
like this there must be many
towns which will ultimately be
divided and consequently wish
to divide their school districts.
