/ One scarce would dare to criticise,
A bard who ’neath so many eyes Is daily rerd and pondered;
And yel, what ’tis that Ki'es the charm,
Andean so certainly disarm All prejudice, I’ve wondered.
His “Rhymes of Childhood” though
sweet,
Are not in meter more complete
Thao other folks' effusions:
| But by some subtle art, he knows
K O*What enthusiasm gr,
Anti strengthens our delusions. By taking headlines first he wins
Our interest, anti then begins
To tell what we already know, But never would have thought to tell, Since others know just quite as well
■ As w ■ - -t. or S".
Now, Mr. Riley tells his jokes The self-same way as other folks, Thi very words and phrasing; But just you show us how 'tis done
It somehow loses all the fun, Anti isn't half so pleasing.
The plainest story you can trace H* tells with most bewitching grace, And just as you’d have said it;
[ And yet, when you have read it through;
| You pick the paper up anew,
And wonder how he did it.
F He has. in full, dramatic art, I He : quence with heart, His mind's a hidden treasure, ^ He carries everybody's woes. He til ,,l I! •• tire's s> crets knows. And tells them without measure.

Pan.”

* Thnt gives it more than common grace-
It radiates with glory;
And what he hasn’t written dow n.
He makes so clear, with smile or frown,
jWhen he tells us the story,
Thnt we bow down and worship too, And feel the reverence through and through
I E’en though we own it shyly— And never after through our days Are known to hesitate to praise

The real estate in the hands of the Assignee of W. H. Durham, of Crawfordsville, is to be sold for the bene1 fit of the creditors, on February 28, 1895; it is located in Putnam, Montgomery Vigo, Marion and Jasper jeounties, Ind., and there are also ] large bodies of land in Iowa and 1 Dakota. j An enjoyable “afternoon” was given by Mrs. J. R.’Miller, to a number of lady friends, Friday. The enj tertainment consisted of a search for lost authors; the most successful tinders were Mrs. Case and Miss Hanna, and they were awarded the prizes. Poems were also read by Mrs. Ogg and Mrs. Case. Edward, son of John W. Gardner, of Madison township, died on Jan. 3, 1895, of typhoid fever, after a siek ness of about two months. Deceased was a fine young man, popular with j all who knew him, and his death is widely mourned. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. It is foolish to sign any paper or document presented to you by a stranger, no matter what he says or in what light he places it. Recently a Michigan farmer signed a recommedation of the bible as being a good book, on the urgent solicitation of a smooth “bible agent,” and last week it cost him $110 to buy the note, which was later filled in over his sig-
j nature.

Harrison Tincher, of this county, and Mary Ann Staley, of Morgan county, were made man and wife, on Jan. 2, Elder Mathias Masten tying the nuptial knot. The groom, after securing the license, took the Elder into his buggy and confidence, at the same time, and drove rapidly to the Staley farm, where the bride was found busy attending to her poultry. When told what the visit was for she was unbelieveing, but when the license was shown her she believed, and after making a change of toilet the ceremony was performed in short c order.

A New Kind of (Uaa* I'nhurt by Violent Atmospheric Changes. The new German glass is a new and | singular departure in that line, disregarding as it does the ordinary principle that good glass must contain, together with silica and a divalent or trivalent metallic oxide, the oxide of a monovalent metal—an alkali metal or thcllium—but while thus free from alkali can be worked before the blowpipe, and lias a small coefficient of expansion. The inventor, says the New York Sun, was led to the production of this compound glass by studying tho state of strain in ordinary glass vessels and tubescooled in contact with air As a hollow glass vessel, cooled in contact with the air, has its outer skin in a state of compression, while the inside is in a state of tension, it is easily damaged on the inside, but is rvsUtent on the outside; a hollow glass vessel, if introduced when cold into warm air, has its outer skin thrown into a state of compression, but if, when it is hot, it is exposed to cold air. Its outer skin is thrown into a state of tension—this being the reason why cold air causes glass to crack more readily titan hot air does. The inventor succeeded in throwing the outer layer into a permanent state of compression by covering the glass vessel with a thin outer layer of glass which has a small coefitcicnt of expansion. Tho flasks made of such glass can be filled with boiling aniline and immediately sprinkled on the outside with cold water—glass dishes, too, can be heated over the nuked Bunsen llame without cracking. Pressure tubes of this compound glass are also made to meet all the requirements of practice and have been kept in continuous use on locomotives for five
months.
