Whose music my heart could not win; Long ago 1 was wenry of noises That fretted my soul with their dlu ; Long ago was ( weary of places Where I Diet but the Human and sin. I walked the world with the worldly ; I crnved what the world ..over gave ; And I said ; "In each the Ideal, . THt shines like Rjtar on III' es wave, Is tossed on the shores of the Real, And sleeps like a dream in a grave." And still did 1 pine for the Perfect, And still found the false with the true; I sought 'mid the Human of Heaven ltttt caught a mere glimpse of Its blue; And I wept when the eloudsof the ruor' tal Yelled even that glimpse from my view. And I tolled on, Itcart-tlrcd ol the Hu man ; And I moaned 'mid the mazes ol men; Till 1 knelt long ago at an altar Aud heard a voice cull me ; sluce then I walk down the Valley ol Silence That lies fur beyond mortal ken. Do you ask what 1 found in the valley ? 'i'ls my trystlng place with the divine ; -And 1 roll at the feet of the Holy, And above me a voice said: "lie mine." And then rose from the depths of my SDll'lt Au echo--".My heart shall be thine.

But fur on the deep there are billows That never shall break on the bench. Aud 1 have heard songs lu the silence That never shall flout into speech ; And I have had dreams In the vulley Too lolly for lunguage U reach. And 1 have secu Thoughts la the valley Ah I me ! how my spirit was stirred I Aud they wear holy veils on their laces; Their loutstcps can scarcely be heard; They pass through the vulley, like vir gins Too pure lor the touch of a word.

And sonics that were sung by warbling blrUs, That are now In the long ago. There are sunny days and childish joys, There are school duy sporU and broken toys, I played with long ago ; There's a little grave close by the hill, Ami a lender heart that now Is still, That I loved so long ugo. There are parting words and heavy sighs, And tears that ware shed by loving eye. In the dsys of long ago. There are withered roses anil wlldwood flowcis That I used to gather In childhood hours Hut they faded long ago.

The corn crop was somewhat Injured by ; the bail and high winds. More soon from tyLEO, . For the Information of otu cor respondent, we will say that tbe Legislature refused to repeal tbe dog law, and It is still in force. Tbe Lower llouso passed a bill repealing the law, but the Sen ate refused to concnr, and tbe law stands exactly as it did last year. Assessor Floarnoy will be prepared with blanks, as usual, to assess your dogs when be comes arouud this fall, making his regular assessment. Tbe fish law was published on the first page of our last paper. It contains an emergency clause, and is now in force and will not expire until repealed by the Le gislature. If ejron will read it carefully, yon will find Its pro visions very stringent, and if It is strictly enforced, it will get a number of rtcrsous into trouble before they are aware of its pro visions. The I.afayetto County Tragedy. Sueeial to the Republican. Sedai.ia, Mo,. June 28. Full details of the terrible shooting affroy at Anllville on Wedncs day were rccieved here to-uight. Last Fall Burt C. Wreu and Iiicbard Taylor went hunting, when Wren accured Taylor of talking abont his family. Hot words passed between them and they dismounted and fought, in which contest Taylor was badly be.atcu. Taylor went belore the Lafayette county grand jury and had Wren indicted for assault. Both men are respectable farm ers and live near Anllville. In their neighborhood is a man who busied himself with carrying re ports of what one bad said of the other until both believed their lives were in danger. Siuce the affray this man has been ordered by the citizens to leave the coun ty within three days. On Wednesday Wren was sitting in front of Grove Youngs store, when Kiebard Taylor, accompa nied by bis younger brother Rob ert, approached from the oppo site side of tbe street, and when when within ten feet of Yren. drew their revolvers. Wren drew a pistol abont tbe same time, when fourteen to twenty shots were exchanged. Kobert Taylor recieved three balls, one breaking bis right arm, another entering his side, the third tak ing effect just in tho rear of the right ear, causing instant death, ltichard Toylor was shot once in tho side, tbe ball lodging in or fracturing the spiual column. Tie fell paralyzed and ferfectly helpless. Wren recieved five wounds, in the arm, thigh, shoul der, back of tho head and side. The latter is the most serious but physicians believe he will re cover. Wren is a native of Ken tucky, has resided in Lalayette county about six years, is highly respected and has a family. Robert Taylor, killed on the spot is from Elm Grove, Cooper coun ty Mo., and a nephew of Coljucl Robert McCulloch of Boonvillo. Ho leaves a family of small chil dren. His remains will be inter cd to-morrow at Tiptou Mo. where his wife's relations reside. Richard Taylor had partially re covered from paralysis to-day and physicians believe some hope for bis recovery remains. The affray creates the greatest ex citement. It is almost impossi ble to procure an impartial re port. Col. McCulloch weut to Aullvillo to nighty Tribute to Missouri.

Cbastine Cox, a negro, was ar rested in BoBton, on the 2.1d, for the murder of Mrs. Hull in New York City on the night of June 10th. Mrs. Hull's ring and some other jewelry were found npon bis person, and being closely pressed the negro confessed. He bad been employed for over a year at a bouse in the vicinity of Mrs nulls, and entered the house by a window for tho pur pose cf robbery- Mrs. Hull hav ing become alarmud at his en trance into her room, he smoth ered-heretics, and then after she had become unconscious he tied hor in the manner in which she was discovered. There is nothing to indicate that be bad any accomplices. Cox was ar rested principally through the efforts of Mr. W. A. Balch, a Boston newspaper reporter, who identified him on the street, fol lowed him into a church and then seenred his arrest. The Jefferson City Trioim prints the paragraph below which will apply as well to any other towu in tho West as Jeffer son City : There aro any number of side walk ornaments abont town, who grumble at hard times and scaicity of work, who can make good wages in the country during these uusy tunes but thev will not go. Yesterday a gentlemen who had a little wood to saw, had the lob refused by nealv a dozen different one, who preferred loaf ing iu the street to doing a few hours honest labor. These loaf- ng lazybones will only have themselves to thank, II when the busy season is lifts t thev find it a difficult matter to get a bacon rintl to grease, their stomachs with. Laziness is so nearly re lated to crime, as to almost come nnder the same heading. Lying in the sun or in the shade never made a man either wealthy or in dependent. How Far the Eagle Screams. Few people are awaro that the proud boasts of Englishmen that the snn never sets on the British Empire, Is equally appli cablo to the United States. In stead of being tho Western limit of the Union, 8nn Francisco is on ly abont midway between the furthercst Aleutian Isle, acquir ed by onr purchase, of Alaska, and Eastport Maine. Our terrN tory extends through 197 degrees of longitude, or 17 degrees more than half way rorfnd the globe. Tho Rocky Mountain rretbytt rian, in commenting on this fact says; "When tbe snn Is giving its good night kiss to onr wester most IhIo on the confines of Behr Ings Sea, it is already flooding tbe fields and forests of Maine with its morning light, aud in the eastern part of that State is more than an hour high. At the very moment when the Aleutian flsberincn warned by the ap proaching shades of night, Is pull ing his canoe toward tbe shore, the wood-chopper of Maine is be ginning to make the forest echo with the stirring music of his axe." Philadelphia IleeorH. A Smoothly-Spun Story of (he Stock ing and lite Storm. A strange incident of tho tor nado is to'd. A lady, Mrs. B. was sick when the bouse was blown away. She was hurt se riously and taken to a neighbor's with her clothing torn to tatters one foot covered with a stocking and the other bare. In a few days a pillow slip was found in tbe cornticld near by sealed up with tho black mud by the storm. It was taken to her and on being opened iu ber prcscuce her lost stocking was found in it. The pillow case had been taken off the pillow that was under her tho stocking off her foot, placed in and securely sealed. The proof of tho facts as stated is said to be conclusive.

Mr. Briesford of this place has about 40 acres iu flax, that measurer 23 nches in height.

County Assessors have reeelv ed from Stato Anditor Ilolladay, instructions by which to be gov erned in tanking assessments this, year. One of the most import ant changes made in the manner of collecting revenues by the new constitution and subsequent legislative acta M M relation to the taxation of real estate. Under the oltl law, lauds were to be sa- I ssjsmil j;ily " uncg-itrearf ry two ' years; but, either intentionally or by some inadvertence, the law was changed so as lo require this class of property to be assessed . annually, tho sumo as personal effects. Already the Supreme Court has decided that this is the law iu force. Stale ex tel, Llalpene vs. Towers. The as sessor is instructed to reqnir ot each parly listing property for taxation a correct list.cmbracing and properly describing ull the real estate owned or held by" them on the first day of August, 187!), together with all personal property, as provided by law, at its fair cssh market value. The assessors has tho power to in crease the valuation placed upon property by the owners if in hhr ndgment it is too low. Reterring to personal property, the Auditor says every species of personal property held on tha first of Annst, whether animate or inanimate, tangible or intangi ble, must bo assessed, except- only that which is exempted by' sections 2 and 3 of the Collated Revenue law. Formerly 200- worth of house hold property' was exempt, bnt the new conr stitution repeals that law, Grow ing crops are to bo considered as a part of tbe land until sever ed from the soil, hence all har vested farm products must be' listed, as personal property.
