right prettily do they sit in the sad
die. Lovely woman never looks more

parissoned steed she goes forth at

Nature kisses away the shadows of

the aching temples from her foun-

zephyr whispers her welcome good

away back in the dim misty distance
to prairie road, grain-waving fields,
an Illinois autumn, aglorious morn
ing, beautiful girl and one-eyed
mule. The goodness of dawn had
laved each bough and leaf in dew; ;
each blade of corn and grass was
dripping. diamond-decked and fra
grant with pearly tears of Aurora's
weeping joys. The lark was singing
his matin song, and from out every
shrub the twittering bird-music rolled
in carols sweet and loud. Fair Luna's
pale crescent was fading away, half
frightened at the early approach Of
the day-god peeping from his east
ern realm, and-the subscriber was
happy. He caresses the arched neck
and flowing name of $500 sorrel
horse, hummed the "Rocky Roads of
Dublin" and was wondering if there
was sweet milk at the next farm
house, when lol from between the
evergreen gateway, of the Usage
orange hedge that climbed around an
humble cottage, there burst vision
of angelic loneliness, and on a one
eyed mule. Brown hands, bare ieet
aud stockings that never wear out;
wealth of tress, cheek of peach, a
lip of cherry, and no side saddle. The
horse of the subscriber became I'M
manageable, and ere the reins were
drawn that $500 sorrel was whisper
ing tales of equine affection into the
dainty auricular of that mule with
lonesome optic. But why harrow the
hearth Why pillow up in ragged fur
rows the smooth vista of memory! A
modest local editor of $1.25 per year

pretty girl with paid-up quarter
section of green cornl Time passed
on. 1t always does. We poked fun

riding animal of hers, and she's now
washing by the day to support some
other fellow.
