AT THE PLAY.

She sitR meath the blazing gaslight
and watches the players play;
But her spnl, on viewiess pinions.
ls ont in the fair, bright day:
She hears the strains exultart
hat oft thrilled her when child,
When her life was a dream OF beauty,
And her spirit Was undefled.
She smiles as the man beside her
whispers and calls her fair;
Shc knows that her dark eyes glory
Rivals her jewels rare
Sae looks at the diamonds flashing.
On the small hands, dimpled and white,
And stlnes the holy memories
Throng1ng her brain Tonight
What cares she for the distant meadow,
Or the far hills yerdant sheen,
Or the streams, like molten crystal
Flowing their banks between!
What cares she for the dewy. freshness
Of the sweet cw-EnsIand morn,
The tlnklIng eound Of the COW. bell,
Or the hunters mellow horn!
Yet they come with dying cadence,
Faint tones of the long~ago,
And echo through hollow chambers
Whose guests are the spectres OF wo.--
or wo that lies hld In her hearts vaults,
Nor lives, nor ever dies, .--.-
Bnt holds her thra1l, looking mutcly ont
From the depths OF appealing eyes.
She crushes the dainty 'kcrchief
In the grasp OF her snowy hand,
And turns from the whispered love-tonea
To list to the crash OF the band:
But she prays for the boon Of quiet. =.
That her soul may escape ffom the thra!l
That is woven by strains Of ''Lang Syne,"
As she sits in tho courtly hall.
They bind her sonl With their sweetness--
They lead her far away:
She sees not the false, bright faces
She sees no scene Of tue play.
They lure her soul with tletr sweetness
. TO the pure life long ago:
The music has changed to dirge-like vail,
With cadcncs faint and low
Tho actors are still before her,
But they step with measured tread'
Bearing noly burden -
The broken hearted dead; go;
And she ytasts as the brow uncovered
CLEANS cold in the moons pale Light
And fnintIy laughs at the phantom-sccnes
That shadow the Teat to night.
woman with soul immortal.
With eyea and brow so 1aif!
Throw oil the evil Of the serpent Sin,
5tinc the giant Despair:
he holdeth thee. he c]aspeth thee.
With the clasp Of deadly hand:
He will lose no link OF his icy chain
Till thou art one Of the ''sl1ent-Land.

Morn DER i radiant land
And the golden wealth OF the sun Is poured

Tho Ysllovz4ooe Hay Contract

AAS0 = 0AAOo1SS$ASO 0e~o1 S>OA>S~@~~
Our Buford correspondent explains
wbv it cost $3.50 per ton to land hay
at the Yellowstone posts last winter,
and in our opinion furnishes very
good reason WAY the Yellowstone con-
tracing company, Mr.. G. K. Peck and
associates, snouid be paid for the hay
and wood they did furnish, instead Of
having all withheld because they could
not accomplish that which it was i'm
possible to accomplish. No interest
of the government can be subserved BY
Withholding just dues from those who
have served 1t faithfully, or in oppres-
sing those who are in no wise to blame
for failure to perform their obliga-
tions. In closing this business, the
destruction Of grass by the Indians and
by the troops, to drive off the indians,
and the necessity for an escort which the
government could not furnish, should
be regarded, and it should not be for
gotten that the contract was awarded
so late in the season, that . coDplancs
with its terms was impossible for that
reason, IS the result proved. Before
it was let the writer expressed
the opinion that . man would get left
Who would touch it, eyep at one hum
