A RAILWAY JOURNEY.

A close cab laden with luggage drove
up to Euston Station in time for the 80
a. m. train for the North While the
porters surrounded the boxes, the occu-
pants of the cab passed straight through
on to the platform, looking rather nerv-
ously about them. They were two-a
very pretty girl in a most fascinating
travelling costume of blue serge and
fur, and an elderly woman, who, from
her appearance, might have been her
nurse.

"No, no; | must watt" and Edith,
who was quite unused to travelling,

guard locked astonished, but only shrug-

emily he came back.
"You'll be late, Miss" he said, not
encouragingly. 'sTrain IL be off in an
other minute" Edith looked at him in
despair. Should she leave her post?
Would Jenkins never come backp A
loud aggressive bell began to ring.
Edith started up; she seized all the
things Jenkins had put under her charge
rugs, carpetbag, umbrella-ease, loose
shawl, and provision basket-and was
trying to stagger away under the load,
when jenkins came back very hot and
Hurried, seized half the packages, and

OCEAN.

BY the amber light
Of the magic moon
sat by the summer sea,
And listened long with strange delight,
At night in the leafy month of June,
To the mystic rune of its ceaseless tune,
And it's marvellous melody!
And fancied l heard, as in a dream,
The wandering words of a singular theme
The sound of sad, subdued refrain,
Coming and going and coming again
mortal, trouble ceases never,
But |, the sea, am the same forever!"
Washing the shores
Of the green Azores,
Where the league long surf forever roars;
Or where on Iceland'S rocky walls
My ponderous Titan thunder falls
Or where in indolent tropic Gains
lave the feet of the holy palms;
Ebbing and flowing,
Coming and going,
1 am the same! and hold through time.
My empire, peerless and sublime.

FRAGRANCE.

Bring flowers, bring flowers, the fairest that
grow
On the hill sides above, in the valleys below !;
Let the dew drops be on them, twill highten
their bliss,
And leave them as sweet as a lovers first

Bring flowers, bring f1owers-what though

AS the love which we feel for some spirit

Remains with us still though the loved one be

CHILDHOOD.

Babes that on a morn of May,
Laughing, in the sunshine play;
Babes, to whom the longest day
Seems to fly!
Babes, to whom all things are toys,
Life a sweet that never clogs,
Home a fount of simple joys
Never dry.
Babes so bright, SO blest, so fair,
With dimpled cheeks and golden hair;
Can they be-that happy pair
You and /?

ROSES.

Springs cloudy days and Summers heats
Come when life only gropes and proses;
But life is redolent of sweets
When poetry the spirit greets,
And Scatters sweet June roses.

GIRLS.

Under my window, under my window,
All in the midsummer weather,
Three little girls, with fiuttering curls,
Fit to and fro together;
All, sly little Kate, she steals my roses,
And Emma and Mary Irvine wreaths and po-
sizes;
As merry as bees in clover.
Under my window, under my window,
In the blue midsummer weather,
Stealing slow on hushed tip toe,
catch them all together;
Mary with bonnet of satin sheen,
And Emma with mantle of silver green,
And Kate with her scarlet feather.
Under my window, under my window,
And off through the orchard closes;
While Emma she fiouts, and Mary she pouts,
They scamper and drop their posies;
But dear little Kate takes naught amiss,
And leaps in my arms with a loving kiss,
And give her all my roses.

The Pierre Route.

The Deadwood Pioneer of the 22d inst.
says: The Pierre route for freight is now
fully organized, and plenty of t%ransporta-
ton is provided on the road. We are as
sured there is no accumulation of freight at
Pierre. The steamers Durfee and Black
Hills are making regular semi weekly trips
between Yankton and Pierre. The passen-
ger coaches make the trip in two days, run
ming only by daylight. The delays in for
warding freight complained of during the
early spring were caused by bad roads and
scarcity of wagon transportation, but no
such difficulties now exist, and the direc-
tors of the line assure the travelling public
that no hindrance to speedy travel can now
occur. Through tickets to the east, inclu.
ding first or second class accommodations,
can be had on application at the Office Of
the Pierre route, in John A. Nye's new
building, on Main street. Mr., Leimer, the
agent of this route, has been for a number
of years connected with Wells, Fargo 4
Co.'S express line at Denver. He has ar
extensive western acquaintance, and is
thoroughly conversant with all stage bust
ness.

This is an idle fear and has no foundation,

We are glad to note that a strong and
influential movement is on foot TO start a

take steps, in behalf of the city, to buy a
suitable site for a cemetery.

We were visited last night by a most
devilish storm of wind, hail, rain and light
ming. The thunder and lightning were
terrific, and the rain and haii poured down
in torrents. The prairies were literally
flooded. Oats and barley were very much
damaged in this section. Barley which was
of full height and headed was not blown
down like the oats, but broke square across
below the heads. Corn n wheat were
but little damaged. Of all the storms We
have had this season, this one eclipsed hen
all. We have heard of no accid .nts re.
sulting from ii.

from which she died in forty minutes

effort made by anybody to investigate sc
