A Reverie.

The following, which we find in the New
York Christian Advocate, is from the pen CT
Miss Louise w. Perry, the accomplished
daughter of Hon. Geo w Perry of this place.
One cannot read it without feeling that its
author deserves prominent place in the
ranks of the poets of our country:
The rain fsllcth drearily, drearily,
The wind moaneth YEARLY, YEARLY,
And Ger me droopeth there, like pall
The same dark fog that broodeth DER al
Without. The living green, that would
shine in the sun
And brighten the heart of the lonely one,
Now dark and damp, looks sodden and sad,
Seeming twill never again be glad
The leaves wave mournfally, gloomi1y,
The Wind meath the caves whistles shrill in
the key
OF a funeral dirge. The mistcouds hane
low
And crowiingly, back ard forth do blow,
Rsiven unrcsting by their tyrant, the wind
Like the rush of remorseful thoughts o'el
the mind,
With restless, goading conscience behind
Dreams of the future, thoughts Of the past;
Come crowding together thick and fast
Der my spirit, that lies ina rainy-day mood
Perfectly passive, for evil, for good.
Dreams, of the how, the what, and the why
CT all that around US, beneath US, doth lie.
With qnestionings vague the dreams are rife
Will they never be answered in this short life:
Must we be contont with the littls things?
Can we never, never have mortal wings
70 take Us up, beyond and above,
Into the blue Of Gods true love,
Where We m2y learn of the great and the
grand,
The wonderful things on every hand,
Shall we never be able to see on life's tracl
Fen an instant before us /? Must it always b.
back
That our eve, can be turned Must tn,
futures blank wall
BE inexorably deaf to our agonized call
TIL by Gabriels trump we're released from
our thralI?
Wty is it our Father sil tell us no more
Why cannot we see to the ether shore
T. it right to keep US in ignorance blind
How can we tel when the truth we do find
Why must the dalll couts lower around,
Ard press Us back, when we'd rise to til,
ground.
Hush, sad soul and cease such moaning;
The clouds are growing light
Mar not Gods harmony by thy groaning;
Life is always bright.
'Ts bat in thy heart that clouds do lower,
Hark to tie song ofthe bird
Thou art but tie child Of an hour
Says 1t not so in the word?
TRea lift thine eyes to tie heavens above US
Tho clouds are breaking away.
Give thanks flom Thy soul: we've Father t.
love US
And pardon us, do what We may.
Keep thy heart from the demon Of sadness
Then truth thou wilt fnd
Always look on the side where IS gladness
Then wilt thou never be blindl

ort themselves across the bay and
asst their lot with Superior. Most
f us would rather I've in Mime
ota, if We can, but we would rather
,ull up our stakes here and drive
hem down over in Wisconsin, with
III almost certain prospect of sue
,ess and prosperity, than to remain
mere and starve.
Should the energetic and enter
prising people of Duluth once make
up their minds to make general
stampede for Superior, the effects
thereof on that sleepy village would
be magical. The people of Duluth
and Superior are, as a general thing,
as much unlike, in many respects,
as though they were the inhabitants
of different planets. Our neigh
bors over i'll Superior are very ex-
ccllent people, in their way, but
they are entirely destitute of"snap :"
and are set of genuine Micaw bers,
who for twenty years, have been
sitting down, sucking their Il umbs,
and waiting for their little village to
become a we;lthy and populous
city. The people of Duluth, on the
other hand, are about as wide-au AXE,
energetic and plucky a set of peo-
pie as can be found on the Amer
lean continent. During the early
years Of the contest between Snpe-
rior and Duluth, Superior unques-
tionably held nearly all the trumps.
but she was either too lazy and in.
dolent, or else did not know how to
play them, and the result was that
the stakes played for, viz: the Sc
curl; g Of the terminus Of the l.. S
& NJ. and n. Z. roads were both
won by Duluth and whenever there
has been a contest between Duluth
and Superior, the former has in
varlahly come off victorious.
1t is not at all likely that .he peo
pie of Superior can ever do anything
to help themselves, but we venture
the prediction that if 100 Duluthians
whom we could name, were TO cas-
their lots in Superior, that village
would have railroad to the June
ton and be the practical lake ter
minus Of tie n. p. road inside o.
one year; and that inside of two
years, she would have the Wiscon
in Central and the North Wiscor
sin roads completed to her door
! together with elevators, mills, fac.
tories, &c.-thus securing forever
the commercial supremacy of the
head of the lake-in which event,
even most of the dwelling and busi-
ness houses IN Duluth, no matter
whether built of brick, stone o,
wood, would undoubtedly be trans
ported across the bay and recon
strncted in Superior.
The above is no wild fancy. and
should our pending compromise fail,
we verify believe that the above re-
suits will inevitably follow.

A Most Remarkable Article.

From the Duluth Tribune, 9th inst.
We would urge upon those hav-
ing charge of the pending negotia
tions between our city and county
on the one hand, and the creditor:
thereof, on the other, to lose no
unnecessary time in bringing those
negotiations to Il final determination.
Our population has steadily dimiE
ished for the past four years, and
many of those now rem aiming feel
that they cannot hold on longer than
the present year. They wish to
know at Tie earliest moment pos
s:ble whether It is worth while to
try to make living in Duluth or
not.
If q compromise so advantageous
I to the bondhoIders as is the pend
I ing one, cannot be carried out, it is
not probable that any other one can;
and this matter might just as well
lie decided within the next so or 90
days, as to keep our people con the
ragged edge" anal in suspense, I'M
til the 23d day Of next February
the utmost limit given by law within
which the compromise can be con
summated. Then, let the holders Of
our bonds be definitely informed AS
to what is desired of them, and If
they are willing to come into the
proposed compromise and make
their now worthless securities of
some value, and at the same time
put it into the power of the
city and county to pay fair per
centa@e on their indebtedness, let
them come forward at once and
close up the matter.
If, on the other hand, they are so
blind to their own interests as 10
refuse to accept our most liberal
offer, let them so inform US, without
delay, in order that we may govern
ourselves accordingly. Should no
compromise be effected, the result
evidently would be that most OF
those now residing here would re-
move elsewhere, and that our bond
holders would be allowed to take
the town site for their claim, and to
make out Of it what they can; but
there would be scarcely any person
81 property left here, and probably
but few OF the houses. OF course
every intelligent person who under
stands the situation will admit that
a large city, must grow up, on one
side or the other of Superior Bay;
and if our bondholders persist in
crushing the life out of Duluth, any
one with half an eye can see that
the result evidently would be the
building up of Superior.
Most of our citizens are warmly
attached to Duluth and to the State
of Minnesota, and would rather live
in Duluth than any other place, if
they can only be satisfied Of their
ability to make a living here and
lay up enough to educate their
children and provide for old age;
but they can not and ,cW not re-
main here much longer and feel
themselves growing older and be
coming more and more impoverished
year by year. We have said that
our people are strongly attached to
Duluth, and have large amount of
State pride but they are warmly
attached to the head of this grand
old lake and to this climate, and, if
once satisfied that Duluth is
doomed and blasted city, the most
Of them would very naturally trans

County Taxes.

The total tax on real aud personal
property in this county. amounted to
$66, 020 so. OF this amount about
$50, 900 has been paid. leaving about
$1,000 delinquent. Probably one half
or more of the delinquent taxes will be
paid before the delinquent roll is
placed 10 the hands of the District At
torney for collection. This. compared
with Washoe county, is very good
showing. There the total tax amount
ed to $4,000 - about Sc. 900 more
than in Humboldt, but the delinquency
is S25, 600, or about one third of the
whole amount. while here it is only
about one tenth of the amount on the
tax roll.

POSTAL REFORM.

Railroads.

Postmaster General Key while an
officer In the Confederate army ac-
quired taste for uniforms. Since he
became member of Reform Presi-
dents Cabinet it has been one of the
greatest aims of his existence to re-
form the Department of which he is the
head, by having letter carriers. mail
agents and postal car clerks wear
uniforms. This weighty question was
discussed at length by the Cabinet at
several meetings. but it was not until
the Presidential party completed their
swing around the circle that Hayes
was thoroughly convinced of the neces-
sity of reform in every branch of the
civil service, and advised the adoption
OF Keys suggestion, to put those who
are obliged to work for the Government
distributing mail matter. in livery.
His success in exhibiting Key, and the
merriment created by the Postmaster
Generals apologies for being on the
wrong side in the war, made such
favorable impression on the tender
hearted President that he Immediately
upon his return to Washington made
Key donbly happy by approving his
uniform order. Now a circular has
been issued, declaring that the public
interest require it, and clerks on postal
cara are ordered to purchase and don
the prescribed dress.

material must be pure indigo dyed
