SoMETIMB.-It is the sweet sweet
song, warbling to and fro among the
topmost boughs of the heart, aud filling
the whole air with such joy and gladness
as the songs Of birds do when the sum
mer morning comes out Of darkness, and
day is born on the mountain. We have
all our possession in the future which
we call sometime Beautiful flowers

good cheer, for all the good there is
golden something when the hills and
valleys Of time are all passed when the

sorrows Of life are over, then there is
place and the rest appointed of Cod
Oh, homestead over whose roof fall no
shadows or clouds, and over whose

REST SWEET REST!
BY FATHER RYAN.
BY FATHER RYAN.

My feet are wearied and my hands are tired
My soul oppressed
And with desire have long desired
Rest-only rest.
IT'S hard 10 toil-when toll is almost vain
In barren ways
Ts hard TO SOW, and never garner grain
In harvest days.
The burden of my days is hard to bear
But God knows best;
And | have prayed-but in vain has been my
prayer
For rest-sweet rest.
IT'S hard to plant in Spring, and never reap
The Autumn yield;
IT'S hard to lll--and when It's titled to weep
Der fruitless field
And so cry weak and human cry,
So heart-oppressed
And SO sigh weak and human sigh
For rest-for rest.
Ny way has wound across the desert tears,
And cares inlest
Ny path, and through the flowing of hot
years
pinned for rest.
Tis always SO; when still a child, | laid
On mothers breast
My wcaried little head cen then prayed
AS now, for rest
And am restless still twill soon be Ger;
For down the West
Liie's sun is setting, and see the shore
Where | shall rest.

Dir. SMITHS PATIENT "A paper
"Bowdoin College" in 'ScriJner for May
contains the following anecdote of Dr.
Nathan Smith:
DR.. Smiths name is especially omi-
nent in the profession, and gave to the
school at the outset a prominence which
it has never lost An incident shows
Of what stuff DR.. Smith was made.
When he began bis career as a Medical
Professor Cat Dartmouth, certain indi-
viduals planned a practical joke which
it was expected would entirely demoralize
the young instructor. A messenger
summoned him to set broken limb,
but on reaching the house the Doctor
found that the patient was Il goose, whose
leg had been broken by some sharp
shooting gaain. The friends" of the
patient looked to see the Doctor beat
Il hasty retreat; but he gravcly examin-
cd the fracture, opened his case, set and
bound the limb, promised to call the
next day, and babe them good evening.
The doctor duly appeared in the morn
ing and for several succeeding days, till
he pronounced the patient" in fair
way of recovery. At his last visit, Pr.
Smith produced bill Of considerable
dimensions, and the family" found that
their little Joke had cost them dearly.
The lcvel-headcd Professor escaped |
further intrusions.

THE WORLD IS VERY BEAUTIFUL
BY MONTANA BENTON.

The world is beautiful-0h, God!
I thank Thee that live;
For all the crosses that we bear
A blessing thou dost give.
The world is very beautiful
With flowers of every hue,
Tie ycrdant grass and waving trees,
And strcamlets winding blue,
The mountains towering heayenward,
With peaks enwEeathed with saow,
The skies above them bright and fair;
The valleys green below.
The world is very beautiful
And full of kindly deeds,
The world is very pitiful
To human woes and needs.
Butmany murmur and complain
At trials small and light,
And never see the silver CLEANS
That make the dark clouds light.
Tor life is full Of hope and love,
Sweet pleasures bright and rare,
Ard life gives much to those
WHO bravely do and dare.
Then always look with loving eyes
Upon this world Of ours,
For we can make it full of thorns
Or brightly blooming flowers.
The world is beautiful. Oh, God!
thank Thee that live;
For every SORROW that we bear,
A blessing thou dost give.

us. Marshal. and w. II. Salisbury,
ex-Deputy U. S. Marshal, charging
these men with conspiracy to defraud
the Government. Their bail was fixed
at s.. 1000 each. The amount of money
stated to have been stolen by the pair
is nearly $4,000. Being ain the
ring" as they were, there is no doubt
but that their friends will use money
to secure an acquittal, though we hope
to see justice triumph v lucre in
this case, and that A'Shafienburg and
Salisbury will soon be forced to don a

The Water Question.

AT the last meeting of the City
Council moi u word was said on the
water-works question. The commit
tee to whom was referred the PROPOSE
ton of the Cheyenne Water Company
failed to report, and in fact were not
called on to report, and SO the matter
lies over ngain. Can It be that the
members of the Council are purposely
delaying action on this all-important
project? We can hardly believe this
to be the case, yet w cannot help
but think it is so.
The strong current Of opinion In
favor Of the acceptance of the propo-
sition of the Water Company Is be-
ginning to develop a slight undertow
against its acceptance, and members of
the Council have been informed that
II the proposition was accepted, very
evil consequences to them personally
would result. The claim of these
chronic DIRECTORS is that the contract
asked for is tco soft a thing for the
company that they propose to charge
what they please for the water after
the pipes are put IN, and that at the
end Of the twenty years the incorpo-
rators Of the company will have nc
quired immense fortunes from the Ell
terprise, while the city will be impov-
erished and deserted" We deem such
arguments as these to be hardly
worthy Of notice. The men who make
them are the men who are sorry that
they didn't organize themselves into u
company and make THE proposition
to the city, nov that there seems "A
probability Of Its acceptance by the
Council and these men, feeling that
were they given the same opportunity
they would enrich themselves at the
city's expense, will oppose the grant
ing Of the charter to the Cheyenne
Water Co., on the ground that III.
