TRUE LOVES TINE OF D. /.

When shall find you. sweetheart,
That shall be and must be mine:
| seek, though the world divides rs.
And / send you the secret sign.
There's blood in the veins of morning.
So fresh il may well deceive.
When man goes forth as Adam,
And woman awaits him as Eve.
There's an elvish spell in twilight
When the bats of Fancy fly.
And sense is bound by question.
And Fate by the quick reply.
And the moon is an old enchantress,
With her snares of glimmer and shade,
That have ever been false and fatal
TO the dreams of man and maid.
But I'll meet you at MONDAY, sweetheart,
In the billowy fields of grain.
When the sun Is hot for harvest,
And the roses athirst tor rain.
With the daylight's truth on your forehead
And the daylight's love in your eye,
I'll kiss you without question,
And you'll kiss me without reply.
BAYARD TAYLOR.

Bavaria estimates the annual weld Of

this in bales of 200 pounds each would
be 654, $50 bales. If we have an over

there is any truth in the reports that
England and Germany are short more
than that amount, then in the end values
must reach level more favorable to the

certed.
:" No" the man growled.
=" Can't be you're going this round
about way to Chicago?'
To this the stranger didn't deign re-
ply Of any kind Then Boggs rose up
and twisted around a little. fronting
the stranger, and said, 8 l s'pose you've
no objection to telling where you are
going?'
Hang it " cried the man, . I'm going
for seven years :"
Then the deputy sheriff in front told
Boggs that he'd rather not have folks
talking to his prisoners, and Boggs
hadn't any thing further to saw.

BoGGs is a very social man, and he
likes to talk with any person he hap
pens to be travelling with. He made a
trip up the Little Miami Railroad the
other day, and found a seat alongside
of a solemn-looking man who kept his
gaze out of the window. Boggs tried
to catch his eye, so as to open CONVEX
sation with him, but he couldn't do it !;
it's hard to catch mans eye, travelling
at the rate of thirty-fve miles an hour.
Bogg's offered the man his paper to
read but he shook his head without
looking around. The conductor came
along, and Boggs thought, Surely he
must look around now but he didn't.
A man in front handed ont two tickets,
and pointed silently to Boggs compan-
ion. Boggs began to grow uneasy. 1t
was the longest time he had ever been
in a strangers company without finding
out something about him-where he
was pointing for, at least. At length
the brakeman came that way with some
water. and the man turned around to
get some. Boggs Immediately availed
himself of the opportunity to say, " Go
ing's far east as New York ??
NO" growled the man, as he re-
moved his tobacco preparatory to drink
ing.
Boggs waited until the stranger had
quafed a pretty liberal quaff, when he
remarked, New York is a dull place
at this time of year, anyhow. Mebbe
you're striking for Philadelphia, to see
whether the old towns changed any
since the Exposition?"
The surly man gave an impatient
shake of the head

The return of Dundee whaler from
Davis Straits with good cargo Of oil,
has again started the lament in England
that no fresh effort is in progress from
that country to penetrate to the North
Pole. 1t is reported that the straits are
full of floating ice, and the inference is
that the Palaeocrystic Sea has broken
up. Of course people are saying that
if Capt. Mares had been careful to pre-
vent his expedition from contracting
scurvy. the ships might have remained
another season in high ATTITUDES, and this
year would have had the chance of pene-
trating to more northerly point, per-
haps of solving the mystery ofthe pole
The tone of the English press on this
subject has changed greatly. When
Capri Mares returned. the general
tendency was to accept his verdict of
50 Pole impracticable," at all events by
way of Smiths Sound. But since the
Howgate expedition has been organized,
there is evidently fear that the crown
ing honor of Attic dicovery may be
grasped by Americans.

MOnnd-Builders' Relies.
Burlington Hawkeye.

One of the most important discover
les of mound-builders relics that has
ever been made in this state was made
yesterday morning by some workmen
who were digging cellar on South Hill,
near Boundary steeet. After the work
men were confident they had unearthed
some Indian antiquities, several mem
bers of the Burlington Archaeological
Society were notified, and the search
was continued under scientific auspices.
They first unearthed stone AK, rudely
fashioned, but Enthusiastically a stone AK,
which was greeted with cheers and ex
element. Then they turned up q flat
stone and found in a little recess a cop
per knife, q broken jar, and a stone
mortar, which were brought out into
the light of day from the solemn mys-
terry and darkness where they had lain
for ages, and the secretary Of the club
Immediately sent off dispatch to the
president and to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Then they found a stone pipe,
and the Archaeological Society sang
hymn and fell on each others necks
and wept, and dispatches were sent to
Dubuque and Davenport. Then they
rolled away great boWlder that ap-
peared to cover the entrance to kind
of crypt, and they found a nickel, a
street-car check, and a copy of the
Ha,rkeye of day before yesterday. And
then. somehow, the interest in the ex-
ploration kind of died out like, no more
dispatches were sent, and the society
adjourned without a benediction.

Busy Bees.

Bees are fond of pleasant odors and
bright colors, and, in the opinion of Sir
John Lubbock, have been largely in
strumental by fertilning the beautiful
flowers in increasing their numbers.
The most lovely flowers, he states, have
attracted bees, and consequently the
finest blossoms of the year have been
cross-fertilized each by the other. Thus,
for century after century flowers have
been growing more and more beautiful.
From these tastes on the part Of bees
alsoit has in the course of long years
come abont that the plants which bloom
by day have bright colors and sweet
smell. Similarly, night plants, although
as a rule colorless, are yet otter power
fully scented, the reason being that
they are fortified by nocturnal moths
which have a sense of odor fully as del
icate as that of bees, and, like bees, are
fond ofhoney.

THE center of population of the
United States is said to have travelled
westward, keeping curiously near the
thirty-ninth PARALLEL of latitude, never
getting more than twenty miles north
or two miles south of it. In eighty
years it has travelled only 400 miles. and
