COLORADO BULLIoN.-A Denver
dispatch of the Sth, says: The Cen
trail City Register says that the value
of gold bullion shipped by the bank
of that city for the week ending
November 4th was S35, 200. This is

lateness of the season miners are still

These mines have been worked very
successfully during the entire year,
the yield being largely in excess of
any previous year.

ONE would suppose, that now the
election has passed, personal abuse
and vituperation would be dispensed
with. But that old fellow who
camy on the Reno Crescent, must go
out of the honorable path of Journal
ism, and malign the character of
a worthy gentleman, who seeks in
marriage the hand of VIM. Sharon's
eldest daughter. Such contempti-
BILE act, should be condemned by
the honorable press throughout the
state.

pursuing it as a subject, showing where.
in the Importance of the organ is not du-
lv estimated.
As feature of the face, it more than
any other, changes it character although
not so capable of expression as the ewes
and mouth. Its ideal beauty varies with
different races. The Africans OF Sierra
Leonese prize the fiat nose, and the Ep-
yptian ootes on the veritable. pure E un-
adulterated pug. The Tartar races ,hav-
ing very small noses, consider them the
very highest type of beauty. The most
beautiful woman in all Tartary was con :.
sidered so because she had only two
holes where the nose ought to have been.
There seems to be no universal stand
ard of nasal beauty. The Romans ador-
ed the aqailine, the Greek the straight
lime-the latter, coming nearest our idea
of The beautiful, is accepted as the stand
ard in this latitude.
But there are other uses for the nose
beyond its element of beauty or the re-
verse. The sense of smell is popularity

parish to nave as an appendage to the
church edliice good parsonage. There
by is parish more likely to secure de-
sira5le minister and retain him. This is
true not only as to large and strong par
ishes, but to small and weak ones. An
attractive, comfortable parsonage is any,
where requisite to ministerial and parish
success. SO confident are we of this
taught by long observation-that were not
ecclesiastical organizations too numerous

parsonage building society. One minister

Mr.. Murray, doesn't believe in early
rising. In his new lecture he thus dis
courses about waking up with a snap:
On! the blessedness of that moment
when, with the eyes half open, you lie
in the vergeland between sleeping and
waking, and the nerves that have been
lying numb in the sweet death of sum-
ber, begin to come to life. and shoot
their preliminary shocks OF feeling
through the drowsy tissues, until the
great cords themselves begin to feel the
working of the miracle in them, and the
feet are drawn up and put down again
with sense of satisfaction that no
words can describe. After such ar ex-
perience have said to myself. well,

was being created" People talk about
waking up with snap. Why that is
horrible way to do it. met a friend
the other day who said, 81 always wake
mp witha snap, and get up with jump"
Why, the sweetest experience OF life
comes to us leisurely. WHAT would YOU
think of the sun rising with snap?
Ot roses opening with a snap? Ola man
eating beefsteake with snap? OF a wife
kissing her husband with snap? Now
all tins applies with teniold more truth
when the line of slight is elevated to the
level of mind and soul. All the finest
mental results are reached leisnrelv, or,

erary work no man can ever do his best
until he WORKS leisurely. Scores of lit
erary men here know that.

There are good many stories afoat

terials for making it, consisting of
whisky, sugar and boiling water.
These he brought without the least de-
mur. l gave him the whisky, which
he drank, and used the hot water. So
conscience was satisfied.

Bcvond these chilling winds and gloomy skies.
Beyond deaths cloudy portal.
There Is a land where beauty never dies,
Where love becomes immortal
A land whose life Is never immed by shade,
Whose fields ever vernal;
Where nothing beautiful can ever fade,
But blooms for aye eternal.
We may not know how sweet its balmy air,
How bright and fair its flowers;
We may not hear the songs that echo there,
Though those enchanted bowers.
The city's shining towers We may not see
With our dim earthly vision;
For Death. the silent warder. keeps the key

In her mothers arms all day.

Rosy, saucy, dimpling, brown
Breaks her play things, tears her gown.

Solemn, sweet, and dream-like they,
Telling my steries AWAY.
Alice's eyes are wildly bright,
Full offrank and fearless light,
Scarcely Will they close at night.
Fay so gently shows her love,
Cooing, nesting like a dove,
She your very heart would move.

Hugs with tiny might and main
Kisses laughs-and hugs again.
Witching each in her own way.
