RUsTICITY.
BY MART TAYLOR.

On turning the. corner--the one in ones
life
That many men turn, it is said through
stupidity,
The idea of looking about for wife
admit, with all frankness seized with
avidity.
Yet years Of experience had made me
beware
Of maidens whose hearts were but
thrones of duplicity,
So mingled among and counted the fair
In hopes to encounter some maid of
rusticity.
That treasure I fancied at length I had
met
In a good natured being bewitchingly
beautiful.
She was not lady of fashion but yet
She was modest and sensible, loving and
dutiful.
Elated, enchanted, enraptured at last,
With this wonderful maid of unwonted
simplicity,
Forgetting the lessons as taught by the
I fell dead in love with this maid of
rusticity.
1 met her oftimes but not at the mart
Of Fashions farcical fetes of frivolity,
But unto this maid I unburdened my heart
Amid the confusion of nursery jollity.
At her feet on the door-siu one evening
sat,
Twas picture an artist might prize for
simplicity.
Bad luck to the crown of my Sunday
silk hat,
My hopes were all dashed by this maid
of rusticity.
The bachelor corner I'll turn with will.
My life shall be one of unwonted hilarity,
1 will revel in all of its pleasures, but still
Will look upon husbands with pity and
charity.
And never again will leave the routine
OF single life pleasures that lead to
felicity,
But I'll warn the old bachelors quickly to
Their hearts from these queer little
maids of rusticity.

earnest effort made to disseminate informa-

particular Immense good has been done by

the Northern Pacific Railroad people and
correspondence have been highly useful, and

merits the praise Of every well-wisller Of the

assumed the Office OF Governor. no man has
bcen more unremitting in his labor TO bring

world, and We feel confident that tie squibs
Of the Herald w:.il not divert him Tor a mo-
ment from the patriotic course he has along
pursued. Men OF all pa.ties concur in tie
opinion that he makes good Gcvernor, and
objections to his course only come from a
source not possessing the full confidence of

on that account he can do more for Montana
than any one else that might bcIselected to
NIL his place. g
we have given this voluntary testimony to |

be sustained.

The Effect on the N. r. Il. n. Go

There is q very great deal Of anxiety mani
tested as TO the Influence the failure Of Jay
Cooke & Co. will have upon the N. p. Co.
We confess it is hard to reconcile the state
nents Of Jay Cooke that advances 20 the N.
2. was prominent element fof his failure.
and that of Secretary Wilkeson that The N.
T. Go. docs not owe any one dollar and has
even funds TO pay its yet ilnmaturei January
interest. But it does seem reasonable to be-
lieyc from all the statements made that the
N. +. Co. does not lose any money By their
failure. IL this is so. the abstract effect Of
Jay Cooke & Cos. failure is not greater than
# they had withdrawn from the position OF
financial agents without falling.
The result Oh the construction Of the road
depends principally upon four things-lst.
The ability OF the Company to show sound
condition and'adequate security for its bonds:
I'd. The succession OF good. strong, trusted
financial agents i 81. The general standing
Of railroad securities with capital rs good in
v stinent after the panic. and 4th, the ele-
ment that gets. control of the Company in
lie reorganization, which must now be made.
These things will require some time to de-
elop. We believe there will be temporary
Suspension Of work !. we as firmly believe it
will be resumed next year as vigorously as
ever. and that its completion into the old set
ments OF Montana will not have been retarded

iine of the expiration Of the charter, (July, +

THERE'S no question but that the Courier

New YORK, September 80.
Jay Gould being asked for his views on the
financial situation gave them as follows:
think the panic over. have every faith
now in advance Of prices. and believe that
the market will be more bouyant than for a
long time Wall street has been cleared out
| Of 4 great part Of its worthless stocks and So
called securities by the purging process OF
the panic, aud there are but comparatively
few stocks now quoted but those of real value.
1 LII all cases prices are too low, and III that OF
good dividend-payin stock, n very large adj
vance is accessory to bring them up to their
actual worth. The reasons for an advance
are that the market Will become easy as soon
as. the Stock Exchange is opened, owing TO
the very large quaniilies,of grcenbaeks that
have been deposited by the Government iii
its late bond purchases J; that an immense
amount Of capital has been put in cireialation
by the action OF the banks iii issuing clearing
house certificates, which displaces CORES
pondIng quantity Of currency that England
is sending over millions Of gold which vii.
come into active use Immediately on arrival,
and HAT speculation has had such long
sleep that IT will be all the mere lively when
