RIPE WHEAT.


We bent to-day DER a coffined form,
And our tears fell slowly down;
We looked our last on the aged face,
With its look Of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like a silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-clOd hands,
From life's long labor at rest;
And among the blossoms white and sweet,
We noticed bunch of golden wheat
Clasped close TO the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom,
OF land. where fall no tears;
The ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer,
The garnered good of the years.
We know not what work her hands had
found,
What rugged places her feet,
What cross was hers, what blackness Cd
night,
We saw but the peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch of ripened wheat
As each goes up from the fields OF earth,
Bearing the treasures Of life,
God looks for some gathered grain Of good,
From the ripe harvest that shining stood
But waiting the reaper's knife
Then labor well that in death you 60
Not only with blossoms sweet,
Not bent with doubt and burdened with
fears.
Aud dead dry husks of the wasted years
But laden with golden wheat.

Ten miles were trotted on the goth ult.,
at Salt Lake City, over half-mile track,
by Granger, a California horse, in 30:044t.
At the trotting exhibition of speed at
Chicago, on the 22d ult., given by the
managers of Dexter Park, Budd DOble, in
consideration of receiving a percentage Of
the gate money, put the Maid to her PAGES
in two trials of mile heat each, the mare
scoring 2:1Stt in the first, and 2;17R in the
second. Both miles were trotted without
q break
A great deal of interest is manifested by
tIufmen on the Pacific slope in the ap-
preaching great four mile heat race for a
purse of $4,000, fixed for the 18th of No
vember At last accounts there were eight
entries for this purse. Among them the
three Estern flyers, True Blue, Joe Daniels
and Hubbard, and perhaps Morgan Scout.
Among the California flyers entered, are
Theo. Winters, Ballot Box and Henry
Walsh's, Thad Stephens. There is some
uncertainty where the race will be run.
Liberal propositions have been received
from leSseeS of one or two race tracks already
to have this great event come off over their
courses. 1t will come off over the track
that will offer the most liberal induce
ments, and where the facilities for getting
there are the best and cheapest. True
Blue, Wheatley and WeathercOck left Bal
timore for California on Monday evening
last, in charge Of I. Robbins. Barbee, the
successful rider in all of Mr.. Chamberlin's
races, accompanies them.

LEI ME WHIP HIM FOR HIS
NEnTPWHER


Let we whip him for his mother,
lie is such tnaughty boy
He the baby tried to smother,
And he's broken Emma's toy;
OF the doll gave TO Ellen
He had melted off the nose,
And there really is no telling
To what length his mischief goes.
Last night he put a cracker
Meath Aunt Terminals chair,
And told me such whacker
When asked how it came there!
Then, when told poor old Mrs. TOodle
Was just starting off by rail,
He tied her two fat poodles
Fast together by the tail
1t really is quite shocking
How ones nerves he daily jars
He puts pins into ones stockings
And cayenne in ones cigars
You may guess what many other
BOyish tricks he's daily at,
So I'll whip him for his mother
As tiresome little brat.

The Columbia Herald, of the 18th, has
the following: A family recently arrived
here from Calpay's Bay, Canada West, on
their way to Henryville, Lawrence county,
for the purpose Of buying land and set
Ting. The family consists Of Antoine
Shutkovesky, wife, daughter, aged q years,
and two sons, aged, respectively, % and 25
years. Judging from the penmanship Of
one Of the sons, we suppose the family are
intelligent. The old gentleman still has
two sons in Canada who expect to come
out also, if their father is pleased. 1t is
thought that other families will also come.
This family have been farmers for aoout
ten years.

Suggestions for Financial Legislation
The Washington correspondent of the
NelJ York Times writes, Nov. 5: "The
Secretary of the Treasury and the Con
troller of the Treasury are daily in receipt
of numerous suggestions concerning finan-
cial legislation, which it is deemed expedi-
ent by the senders should be embodied in
the recommendations of the Forthcoming
report. Both the Secretary of the Treasury
and the Controller of the Currency, how
ever, decline, even to Representatives and
Senators, to give any indication as to their
probable recommendations. The following
are among the suggestions which have been
made with reference to future financial
legislation: That the National Banking
act be so amended that depositOrs may have
better secutity; that National banks be pro-
hibited, under severe penalties, from paying
interest upon deposits; that better safe
guards be provided against the impairment
IF the reserves; that some legislation be Sc
cured which shall efectually prevent the
use Of greenbacks as a merchantable COM
modify; that the relations of the National
bank system to the National Bankrupt act
be more specifically defined, and that some
explanatory law be passed, stating whether
or not, and if so, under what conditions,
National banks may be put in bankruptcy
| like ordinary debtors; that additional legis-
latiOn be provided which shall secure a
more rigid and responsible examination of
National banks; that convertible bond be
issued, bearing a low rate of interest, which
shall at any time be interchangeable for
money at any Treasury of the United
States

81 AM A WOMAN


am a woman-thereiore, may not
Call to him, cry to him,
Fly TO him,
Pray him delay not.
And when he comes to me, must sit
quiet:
Still as a stone is,
Harder and colder,
If my heart riot
Crush and defy it,
Should grow bolsger-
Saw one dear thing TO him,
Ali my life fling to him,
Cling TO him
What 10 atone is
Enough for my sinningi
This were the cost to me,
This were my winning
That he were lost to me
Not as a lover at last if he part from
me,
Tearing my heart from me-
Hurt beyond cure
Calm and demure
Then my behavior:
Showing no sign TO him
BY look of mine to him,
What he has been to me,
Pity mclean to me-

cial bills were dull as the advance in bank
er's sterling is the result of distTust and
not an active demand. Gold declined to

vanced to 1913 and closed at 1917. The

How to Beautify Your Rooms.

The first condition of success
in furnishing either a large or a
small room, is that there must
be no overcrowding. This is alb
solute. When outline is lost,
beauty, as a matter Of fact, is
lost. We must all know many
rooms in which, perhaps, the
worth and beauty of each indi-
vidual thing is indisputable, on
entering which the first thing
that strikes one is a sense of
Incongruity. What might have
been an art collection, is degra-
ded to the level of an old curl
osity shop, Most women are
born with a love for beau
.y; but generally, unless this
lpve is cultivated and train
.a, it runs to water and
filters itself away upon
small things. Women go into a
shvp and hover over a counter
for an hour, engrossed in the
purchase of fifty minute things,
each one of which is pretty
enough in ITSELF but not one of
which can be clearly defined at
a distance of two yards, and not
one of which repays the trouble
Of minute inspection. These
are packed away in shiny cabi-
nets, that are blazing with or
.mulu scroll work, on spindle
legged what-nots that seem to
be designed for no other purpo-
ses than to be knocked down at
brief intervals, and on mantle
pieces that confuse ones brain
during the long periods when
the need of being near the fire
forces one to face them. tits a
better and higher system Of
economy to buy two or three
good bronze or marbles, on
which the eye can always rest
with pleasure, than to spend
ten times the sum on a hetero-
geneous mass Of the parti-col-
ored rubbish which many accu-
mulate, Gin order," they call it,
''to take off the naked look Of
their ROOM Better the naked
look of ten thousand times,
than the false decorations.

The Idler.

7is The idleris an annoyance--ia
nuisance. He is no benefit to
any body. He is an intruder
in the busy thoroughfare Of
eYery day life. He stands in
our path, and we push him con-
temptuously aside. He is Of no
advantage to any one. He an
noys busy men. He makes
them unhappy. He is an unit
in society, He may have an
income to support him in idle
ness, or may sponge" on his
good-natured friends; but in
either case he is despised.
Young men, do something in
this busy, bustling, wide-awake
world. Move about for the
benefit OF mankind, II not Tor
yourself, Do not be idle. Gods
law is, that by the sweat Of our
face we shall earn our bread
That law is a good -one, and
the bread we earn is sweet
GOD has written on the flow
ers that sweaten the air; on the
breeze that rocks the flower; up
on the rain-drop that refreshes
the sprig of moss that lifts its
head in the desert; upon every
penciled shell that sleeps in
the cavern of the deep, no less
than upon the mighty sun that
warns and cheers millions of
creatures which live in it's light
upon all his works he has
written, "None liveth for him
self"
