Soft singing through her woodland way
And l some star, whose loving beam
Might in her bosom rest its ray
wish my love was like the dew, eaie
Half hidden meath the roses lip, s
And the young dawn, trembling through
The fragrance none but might sip.

And cheer and charm the humblest spot
Our lives might blend while life was sweet,
And even death divide us not

OUR LOVE SONG.
BY YUBA DAM.

I wish my love were lemon punch,
With strawberries floating in the cup;
And she and could meet at lunch
Then with straw-P d suck her up.
I wish my love was like the Jew, col
And had gold laid away in store. s}E
Dye think I'd read exchanges through
Or write for papers anymore? e-ts
I wish-like flowers that fondly meet,
And bloom to furnish bees their honey,
We had some way-while life is sweet
Of keeping house-without much money.

A Prussian has invented new offensive
weapon it consists of powder which can be
discharged some distance, and so acts on the
nerves of the enemy that one discharge will
make whole regiment sneeze for an hour,
period of time during which the needle gun can
be used effectively by the Prussians.

Piper Drake & Co. have received, and will
continue to receive every few days, additions to
their already fine stock of Goods; and as ''they
think they haze the incest trade IN toaon they are
compelled to keep first class goods as they have
always done, and can and will sell them at fair
prices.
They will also keep what merchants call ''sec-
onds' which are, IN some instances, pretty fair
goods, but can, as general thing be sold for less
than first class goods cost. nisTI
They do not propose to sell seasona6le goods at
cost, for if they did their friends would not be-
lieve them, but they do promise to sell as lo1c as
any other house, for the same class of goods.
They have just received splendid lot of

which they can sell very reasonable. le-f

In doing so he is making great sacrifice of his
