Sauk City Mills

The other day came along, as pre-
sent for Minnie, a sack of flour from
these famous Mills. We were already
using an excellent article from the new
mills at Fair Haven. Being at all times
ready for something new," we were
disposed to make a trial ofth latest ar
rived. The resul, exceeded our expec-
tations, in biscuits "good enough for
king" The proprietor of the Sauk
City Mills may be proud of the -four
they produce, and may hope to reap
golden harvest. The sound and whirl
of machinery, comes to us across the
waters continually, day and night. Gould
the Colonel transport his grand looking
mill to his old Virginia, well beloved,
but SO behind the times, he would be
regarded as State benefactor. But

glorious free-handed, free-soiled Mime

The hearth Is swept. the FIRE is bright,
The kettle sings for tea
The cloth is spread, the lamps are light.
The hot cakes smoke in napkins white.
And now ! wsit for thee.
Come home, love home-thy task il done
The clock ticks listeningly
The blinds are shut, the curtain down.
The warm chair TO the freside drawn,
The boy is on my knee.
Come home, love, home-his deep, fond eve
Looks round him wistfully,
And when the whispering winds 90 by,
As u thy welcome stay was nigh,
He crows exultingly.
In vain he finds the welcome vain,
And turns bis glance on mine
so earnestly that yet again
His form unto my heart strain
That iarce is so like thine.
Thy task is done-we miss thee here;
Where'er thy footsteps roam.
No heart will spread such kindly cheer.
No beating heart no listening ear,
Like these viii wait thee home.

That we known step doth come
The bolt is drawn. the gate is past,
The babs is wild with JOY al last

this the Bachelor Judge wore worthily
his dignity, and pronounced his decis-
ions with all that soberness and gravity,
as did those who elsewhere leaned upon
damask velvet, or who fingered daintily
silken tassels pending from cushions
curiously enwrough:. Rough benches
surrounded the room. For the lawyers
and dignitaries chairs were carried
from the house. A width of gay-fow-
cred, parti-colored Indian calico was
tackled around the whole edifice, serving
as a shoulder screen from the white
walls. Upon little shelf by the door
was a water-bucket, in which was a
long-handled dipper of tin, small in size,
but serving good purpose to many
thirsty denizen ofthe congregated coun-
ty, during the all-important court week.
Here, also, church service was held
now and then for a couple of years.
The next building, and in close proximi-
ty, was the "storage house," used as
such before better one was built at the
landing, and soon after converted into
horsepower mill, for grain-grinding. 1t
was thought " not to pay" however,
and like all such concerns was abano on
ed. This, with the house, black
smiths shanty, before spoken of, COM
prised Sauk Rapids, as it was then
called A misnomcr-as it is so far re-
moved from the Rapids, and from where
the town now is, as to form no portion
of it-not even a suburb. The dutch
reign and rule there and somehow it
all wears changed and faded aspect.
We never pass by but we recall plea
SAINT memory of what it was, in those
days that we now refer to.
We remained there four weeks-did,
in fact, what all did who, for a long
time came hither to make their home
lived there until "their house was built"

Lines to Ella.

BE thy life. Ella. like lovely star,
That has its rise where beauteous gIories are
That calmly comes, and family trembles on,
Blushing amid its silent, svery dawn
Then brighter growing, and still brighter yet,
Till in meridian blue, brilliant gem It's set,
Whose glorious lustre wins each heart and ey
That lives and loves beneath the blessed sky.
And as each spirit warns beneath its rays,
So may thy influence be on those who gaze
Upon the beauty of thy blameless life.
As sister, daughter, and perchance as wife,
Then as that star beneath the horizon goes,
So be thy earthly beings peaceful close,
Leaving behind glory in thy path,
AS heretofore the pure in spirit hath.
