Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam because water is low. ;! A YOUNG lady wants to know how to vtnake "not enough," out of the word "enough." That is easy. It is done by transposing the letters and arranging the two words. Take the 3d, 2d and 1st, tetters for the first word, the 6th, 4th and 5th for the second, and you have something that is not enough for any young lady. A CORRESPONDENT writes: A retired farmer, who has time to try experiments and note the results, informs us that for three years past, he has planted a bean or two in each potato bill, and has never seen a Colorado beetle on the potato tops where l>eans were growing in the jwme hill. If this is a protection against the bugs, the remedy is simple and will jpay for the trouble in a crop of beans. y. r- . -- " AT a meeting of the Board of Coramis- etoners of Highways, held at the Town Clerk's office, at MeHenry, 111., on Satur­ day the second day of May 1891, the following persons were appointed over- |r seers of the several Disiricts as follows " for theensuing year: f j>ist No. 1.

DIED--At Ringwood, 111., April 25th. *91, Mr. CharleH Harrison, in the sixty- first year of his ago Mr. Charles Harrison, owr beloved friend and respected neighbor, was born in Yorkshire, Eng., June 16, 1830, and came to America in company with his parents and settled near this village in 1845. In those days all the surplus produce was freighted by wagon to Kenosha, Racine or Chicago, and, as Mr. Harrison's people here were quite extensive farmers, it was often his lot to cart to the above mentioned ports the wheat, oats or pork, the export products of their farm. His congenial aud lively nature fitted him well to engage in such undertakings, aud many little reminiscences have I heard him relate of the hardships and pleasant­ ries ol those journeys. Bad roads, poor hotel# accommodations, and the uncer­ tainty of weather at the the time of year in which most of this work was done, mixed it up with hardship and ludicrous merriment betimes. These he recalled with evident pleasure, and some of the heartiest laughs I have ever heard him indulge in were the result of these recol­ lections. At the age of twenty-six. he married Miss Mary E. llockwood, daughter of John llockwood, who then owned and resided on the farm now owned by John Carey, just south of town. Since that time they have lived so happily that no thought of remorse wiil ever saddeu thp serious countenance of the earnest moth­ er and widowed wife. Their lives were as one, truly, and is a splendid example of an affectionate union and fidelity. In the fall of 1861, he enlisted in Co. H, 8th Illinois Cavalry. He was at onoe chosen First Lieutenant, and was ap­ pointed to the office by Governor Yates in January '62. He served in the cam­ paign of the Peninsula under McClellan till the following May, when he resigned and came home. For the past twenty-fonr years be has been in the employ of the C. & N. W. R'y Company, serving as depot agent at this place. During all that time his health was thought by his nearest friends to be very good; but about two weeks before his death he was taken with an attack of jLaGrippe, and the violence of the attack as more than even his strong system ould bear. None but his immediate friends had one thought of death's ap­ proach, and even they were astounded by the suddenness with which hie life closed. The funeral was held on the 27th; serv­ ices at the home by Rev. W m. Nickle, who spoke in a very feeling manner of his old and esteemed neighbor. The obsequies at the cemetery were concluded by the Masonic fraternity, of which he was a member. Long will he be missed by our citizens, many of whom feel his loss as that of a near relative, but most will his absence be taken note of in that little home in the family circle where he loved to pass his leisure hours in the company of his ever present wife, for whom he bore no less love thftn on their marriage day Lastly, let me state that he was a grand example of a strictly honest man, and in his memory his sons have a strong in­ centive to the things that are t'uly noble. F. L, C. Resolution* of Condolence. At special Communication of MeHenry Lodge, Xo. 158, A. F. and A. M., the follow­ ing resolutions were unanimously adopt­ ed. WHEREAS, It has plek«ed Almighty God, in his mercy to suddenly remove from onr ranks our worthy brother, Charles Harrison, and WHKHEAH, By the dea'h of brother Harrisou this Lodge has lost an upright and earnest member, the bereaved wife and family a kind and loving husband and affectionate father, and the com­ munity a good andhonestcitizen. There­ fore be it Resolved, That the members of this Lodge tender to the afflicted widow and family their sincere and heartfelt svmpa- thyin this, their hour of deepest affliction and commend them to the care of Him who doeth all things well. Be it further Resolved, That as a mark of respect to the memory of our deceased brother the Charter be draped for twenty days, a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of our deceased brother, spread upon the records and published in the MeHenry PLAINDEALER.

We lust week published in the PLAIN- DEALER an account of the accideut, death and burial of the above named citizen of our town and promised a more ex­ tended obituary this week. Albert ft. McLean was the second son of Hon. H. W. and Ursula N. McLean, of this city, who, together with two sisters and two brothers (vie . Minnie and Lucy, George G. and Win. Henry), and his wife, survive him to mourn his untimely death. He was born in MeHenry, Feb. 7th. 1853, hence was in tbe 39th year of his age. He married Annie Huffman, at Waterloo, Iowa, March 6, 18§9. He leaves no children. His two sisters, having been informed by telegraph of his misfortune, hastened to his bedside at tbe Harrison street Cook Co. Hospital, where he had been taken for treatment, aud watched over him until he passed away. . He was con­ scious to the last, and to his sisters ex­ pressed the desire that his remains should be brought home and interred, here. His arm was amputated but he survived the nhock but. a few moments. His body arrived at home Saturday even­ ing,and the funeral service was held at the Universalist church Sunday, April 26, from whence his parents, wife, oldest sis­ ter. and a large concourse of sympathiz­ ing friends and neighbors,4 followed his remains to the Woodland Cemetery, where they were laid to rest as he desired they should be in his last expressed wish to his sisters. It is sad to witness the bowed forms of aged parents bending over the coffin and taking the last farewell look at a son, who bat a few short hours before had left them in the bloom of health, At the noonday of life; or to behold the anguish of a loving wife and sister as they con­ sign his body to the tomb. The immor­ tal Edgar A. Poe has given to the world some thoughts, a few of which we here append and commend them to the be­ reaved friends of one who was a great reader, had a retentive memory, was an easy and pleasing conversationalist, a natural orator, and a lover ol poetry. THE CKADLB OR OOFFIH-WHICH? The cradle or roffln, the robe or the shroud. Of which shall a mortal most truly be proud? The ctadle rocks light as a boat on the billow, Tue child liesaaleepon his soft, downy pillow And tfe mother sits near with her love, lighted eyes- Sits «at:hing her trsasure, and dreamily singing. While the cradle k eeps time like a pendulum swinging And notes every moment of bliss as it flies The scene changes. Thirty-eight years have passed and the coffin supplants the cradle. How still is the coffin! no ttndalent motion; Becalmed like a boat on the treast of the ocean. And th*re lies the man, Wltb his half.cur­ tained eyes. ' 'While the mother stands o'er him, her love- watch still keeping, Aad kisses his pale lips with walling and weeping, ; *ill her anguish it dumb, or expressed but in lighs. O,call hiui not back to earth's weariuess now, For blossoms unfolding enclrcie his brow; From glory to glory forever ascending. His soul with the soul of the inAnite blending, Great luminous truths on his being shall dawn. With no doubts to distract him, or «tay his endewor, He shall bless in his progress forever and ever T)M day that his soul to the kingdom was born. The cradle or coffin, the robe or the shroud. Of which(shall a mortal most truly be proud? The cradle or c.tflin, the blanket or pall, O. which brings s blessing and peace unto all? The cradle or coffin, both places of rest-- fell as, O mortals, which liks ye the best? ALGONQUIN.
