THE COLORADO MAUD MULLER.

-Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Naked the meadow sweet with hay.
Her clustering tresses, backward flung,
Adown her graceful shoulders hung.
Bsnesth her rustic hat of straw
Her eyes shot glances that would thaw
An iccberg's frozen heart: or, felt
Their fire, the SHOWS would melt
Upon you handicapped pile, Pixies Peak,
And trlckle down his rugged cheek.
Her lips like ripe, red cherries cleaned;
Her cheeks with health and beauty beamed;
her hands-oh! dainty brown were they,
And .defily raked the new-mown hay.
Her form, perfection s self enthroned;
A breau ing Psyche, golden-zoned.
The Juj e came riding slowly by;
A tear stood ia his bright blue eye.
His thoughts were on the checkered past;
Five loves, five graces, and on the last
The wi FLOWERS scarce fortnight old
His lat Il, keenest anguish told.
Nor wealth, nor power, nor laws renown,
His stately home in Denver town,
His fellow-townsmen's love and praise,
The proudest fame, the greenest bays
Held ausht OF happiness for him.
For death, the spoiler, cold aud grim,
Had snat ,hed, with all their wifely charms,
Five loving spouses from. his arms.
All! wretched man, Five times beref.
To HIM what earthly joy was left?
With heavy heart and fearful eye
The Judge came riding slowly by,
When, like sudden burst OF light,
"Maud Muller flashed upon his sight.
Oh! Love, mysterious power divine.
What elasticity is thine!
he gazed entranced. Straight from the skies
She seemed to his euraptured eyes.
Agift from Jove. from Heaven sent,
To cheer this vale of discomfort.
Such sweet simplicity! such gracel
Such queenly form. such peerless face.
He gazed; be sighed his heart away,
He kneeled before her on the hay,
And breathed tale of deathless love
That must have moved the gods above.
She softly smiled and looked away,
Still raking up the new-mown hay,
Then paused; and, grandy, like queen.
She pointed Der the meadow green
To where a stalwart yeoman stood,
"Thsts Bill" she said: "0hsarvr him good
Unless you've got uncommon grit,
Iguess, old chap. you'd better git"

REFORM.

The bill passed for fixing the salary of
the Assistant Attorney General is IN
creasing the expenses more than double
to what they were under the Republican
administration of or State. On the bill
fixing salary of SO, 800 for the School
land Commissioners, the Sentinel says:
The Reformers at Madison are, with
an osteDtatious parade of retrenchment
passing bill to hK the salaries of the Off
GERS composing the school land commits
sion at So, 800 per annum. 70 the ver-
dant tax payer this seems an act of pious
self denial. In fact. however, it is mere
ly the letting go Of a precarious and fail
ing grip on fees, to get surer and deep
er hold Oh the treasury. The purchase
of state lands is not nearly as active rs
formerly, and the commissioners are
pained to find that there is no such ava
lanche of affluence pouring down upon
them. as they had hoped, in the shape
of fees from land sales. Therefore, it is
wonderfully easy TO reform their salaries
so as to get bigger certainly out of the
treasury. in lieu of lesser and diminish
ing uncertainty from the land speculaturs.
''GaudIness. drawled Deacon Smike,

Smike's godiness.
On the reformatisn Of the Graham Ii
quor law the Sentinel tells the truth in
the following article:
The Reformers in the Legislature are
just now In an agonizing sweat They
are so terrified by the powerful temper
ance revival now sweeping over the land,
that they dare not pay their debt to the
Liquor League by squarely repeating the
Graham Law They have therefore
hit upon an expedieut, the moral cow
ardice and shallow dishonesty of which
provokes universal contempt 1t is
simply to repeal the Graham" and
leave the law" The obnoxious feat
ures OF the act of 1872 are carefully pre-
served in the excise bill now pending.
The saloon keeper is thereby In greater
peril than before Of being prosecuted,
and his liability is more clearly defined
and inevitably fixed than it was under
that clumsy piece of legislation known as
the Graham law. By the passage of the
present fraud in the shape of Vogers
bill. the Reformers hope to escape the
anathemas of the legions of temperance
voters, and at the same time be able to
assure the confding liquor interest who
SO literally paid their election expenses.
that the hated Graham law is swept
from existence. The Liquor League are
fast learning that manly enemies are en-
titled to more confidence and respect than
cowardly or perfdious allies.
