SUB ULMES.
BY E L.. CATLIN.

Under the elmS We walked
AS the moon WAS climbing the sky,
AMI vowed. a we tenderly talked,
Together to live and to die.
How little. how little we bought,
When living those moments of bliss,
That hard-hearted time could have brought
such cold separation as this.
A d yet-was there not in each heart
A vague apirehension: a dread
That after all this we might part
And be to each other as dead?
All yes! for il was but a dream,
A sunset thrt sinks IN the sea,
A wait floating d ,wn on life $ stream,
For now she is dead unto me.
Under the elms / walk
As the mo IN is climbing the sky,
And VOW, as unanswered talk
That alone 1 will i've and will die.

old broken hoe-handles boiled eggs for

used dried apples on Il clothes-line."

skeLcher of tile New York San, in one OF
his lIvelicst sketches, introduces the fol-
lowing illustration of
s-how slight a cause can move
Well, now that puts me in mind of
two old fellows down in Kentucky, that
had been the best friends in the world
for over thirty years-never had a cross
word, and would do anything for each
other. They got into atop buggy Wagon
and started down 10 Lexington ON bust
ness. You see they lived ABOUT twelve
miles out of Lexington. One was named
Burr, and the other Clark. About six
miles from Lexington they passed ii tract
of land beIonging to a man mann d Baker.
1t had a little brook running through a
a gully on it.
"Tom,'' says Burr, pointing to the
gully, "if Baker wanted to build Il pond,
all he would nave to do would be to
throw a wall across that gully"
YES" says Clark; but Tom don't
want a pond"
"WeIi,' replied Burr, raising himself
up, 81 didn't say he wanted d pond, did
l? l said if he wanted a pond all he
would ave to do would be to throw a
wall across that gully"
"Well," exclaimed Clark, firing up in
his turn, 81 didn't say that you laid he
wanted a pond, did L? All that L said
was that Baker didn't want any pond"
"Well," shouted Burr in all angry
tone, 81 didn't say that you did say that
L said that he wanted u pond. did L? L
said U-IF he wanted a pond, all he
would have to DO would be to throw a
wall across that gully"
"Well," said Clark, now thoroughly
enraged, you are a damned old TOOL, and
L won't ride WITH you any further! Stop
the wagon"
So Burr stopped the wagon, said the
Blue Grass man, and Clark walked ali
the way to Lexington, six miles, before
he would ride with him. That was
seven years age, and the cussed Ol,i fools
have never spoken to one another since.

element in the Eastern market, and
there has been considerable competition
between the Eastern and Western agents
in the interior, which resulted in a ma

provement. The bulk of the crop has
passed out of the hands of the growers.

A LIVE HOME NOTABLE
CmANGE-Last October, Hearth and
Home passed into the hands of Mcssrs.
Orange Judd & Co., of PAS Broadway,
New York, the well known publishers of
the american Agricutturist-a journal
long without rival IN sterling value and
circulation. The marked improvements
then expected to appear in Hearth and
Home have been fully realized, and it is
now one of the choicest illustrated jour
nails anywhere issued for the family cir
clc-adapted to both the juvenile and
adult people, and meeting the special
wants of the housckecper. Besides it
supplies very useful chapters for the gar
den and farm, and an important NEWS
sheet, giving IA valuable resume of the
news for Il week, up to the moment of is
sue. From $500 to $500 worth of very
fine engravings bcautify each weekly
number We notice now Il st ! further
mark of enterprise on the part of the
publishers; they have secured the exclu
sive editorial services of EDWARD EGGLE-
his writings in Scribner's Monthly, and
many other magazines and journals, and
especially as the chief experimenting
editor of the Ne,o York Independent for
some time past. With this notable addi
ton to the previously large and strong
editorial force, HEARTH AND HOME can
not fail to merit and command promi
nent place in every household, in city,
village and country. Specimen copies
can doubtless be obtained from the pub
fishers, as above. Terms only $3a year
Single numbers cents Hearth and
Home and american Agriculturist to

both of them to your supply of readings;
they are each worth infinitely more than
the small cost

Returned.

After having spent about two months
in the eastern market, Mr.. N. o. Lawton
has returned, and will again be found at
his position, in the old New York
Store
As has been noticed in the past issues
of the BULLETIN, he has obtained bar
gains which will be of great value to their
customers. One noticeable advantage
in Mr.. Lawton's remaining east so long,
is seen in his picking out Of styles. For
some time past, the New York Store has
had the credit OF being the foremost in
this particular, and their reputation is
more than held good this fall. Yet that
is not the most important feature. Price
governs all things, anil from the fact of
the New York Store selling for 10 to 20
per cent. lower than other houses, is the
true secret of their doing the Lions
share Of the business Of our city.

Mr.. EDIroR:-i Through the columns of
the newspaper the minds Of people can
be reached more easily than by any 9th
err means, so l beg leave to say few
words to the public through that mcdi-
UNI. 1t is not expected that the editor OF
paper endorses the sentiments of all the
communications he publishes, so if put
in this short notice anything which does
not meet the approval Of your patrons,
they need not blame you, but let it rest
on the writer, whose shoulders are broad
enough to bear with IMMUNITY anything
that may be laid thereon. l have just
read book which contains so much
truth that want the lovers of that com
modify to share it with me- The title of
the book is Helen Harlow's Vow" The
subject, 1.-The social question"-one that
is receiving the attention of til best
minds in the country, and one which
must be adjusted ere long. 1t is being
brought before the public in various ways,
but no one Las treated it in manner
which will bring it home to the hearts of
mothers and daughters, fathers and sons,
more pointcdly than the writer Of this
book has done. 1t is forcibly written
and carries conviction with every word.
There IS nothing to shock or wound the
most fastidious, yet it tells the story Of a
life in such manner, as to satisfy forcv-
er, I should suppose, any reader, of the
great evil in the present method Of treat
ing our fallen brothers and sisters. The
wrong society intlicts on man, equally
with woman, is clearly shown and the
only means of obviating it given. Every
one who is interested in the present and
future morality Of the human race should
read it. do not write this as puff for
the author, for l have not the honor of
her acquaintance, but from the earnest
wish in my heart, that this great burden
resting on humanity should be lifted off.
Every word that is spoken or written
against sin will help Danish it from our
beautiful world. So l would have such
noble words read by many minds, that
all may see more clearly, the cnormity OF
this sin that is knawing at the vitals OF
society, and seeing, will put their shout
ders to the wheel and help roll it onward
and upoard, till we have "the kingdom
heaven on earth" There are severa
copies Of the work in the city, but ou'
stationers can obtain it Of William White
& Co, Boston, Mass. ~

Rings"

WE find the following specimen Of un-
mitiga'ed twaddle in the Conservative,
this week:
"For years the county has been run by
what is generally termed "a ring Re-
publican ring The so-callcd ring have
so manipulated matters that the people
have had but little to do with the election
of suitable officers for county government
with the exception of giving them their
votes A shabby trick enacted Mt q late
Republican Convention, has opened
crevasse in the Republican party, which,
let it be hoped. will widen until it over
throws the ring managers. The people
can elect the ticket placed at the head Of
our columns, and we believe they fully
intend doing so. Let the ring be broken
by all means. But this can only be &C
complished by the election of the Demo
cratic ticket. Let this be done by the
people"
The above developes the style in which
the Conservative proposes to conduct the
present campaign. Unable or unwilling
to make fair, stand-up fight, in which
the character and record of the candi.
dates shall be the only issue, it chooses,
with littleness peculiarly its own, to
sneak around the Republican organiza-
ton, trying to smell out "crevasses," cud-
die up to Republican soreheads, and at
regular intervals to pipe out, in its forci
ble-feeblc way, ring! ring!". Now what
foundation is there for all this balder-
dash about rings None whatever. The
Conservative is careful to make it's ale
cations in very vague terms, but if it will
designate those whom it calls the Repnb-
lican ring, we will agree to prove to the
satisfaction Of itself and the public that
at no nominating Convention in the last
ten years has the men it may name acted
entirely in concert as regards the choice
of candidates for Office. The cry Of ring"
is always the resort of the demagogue
when he has nothing better to offer. 1t
is intcrposcd in this case with not even
an attempt to back it by facts, and will
accomplish nothing. But suppose it to
be true, as alleged, that ring" have
dictated nominations; what is the result:
Is there county in Iowa which has been
more fortunate in her officers than our
own? If to the ring is really due the
capable, efficient and rigidly honest ad-
ministratiOn of affairs which has charac-
terized, and still characterizes, our county
government under Republican officials,
is the ;ing-provded it has an existence
so bad thing as to justify Republicans
in voting the candidates Of the Demo-
cratic ring to defeat it, We think not,
and the Conservative will find when the
votes are counted, that its dcmagOgue
cry Of ring" however it may tickle
Democratic ears, is not the thing to catch
intelligent Republican voters. 1t will
find, also, that the "crevasse" in the Re-
publican party, which it is endeavoring
in its futile way to widen. will open suf
ticiently to engulf the entire Democratic
ticket and a few soreheads, after which
the broad river of Republican victory
will roll on as placidly as before.
