THE SrHOOIMASTEE's SLEEP.
az BEN WOOD DAVIS.

~ BEN WOOD DAVIS,
The schoolmastcr was weary,
Was weary, old, and gray;
And heayiness came over MIN
Upon that summer day
A hcayinesS Of spirit
And nameicss sense OF pain,
He struggled hard to Danish,
But struggled all In vain.
The drowsy schoOiroom murmur,
He heard, and in his trance,
He knew his school was watching
His face with stcalthy glance.
He knew, and for moment,
He aroused himself again,
To battle off the stupor
That crushed his weary BRAN.
In vain! for with the effort
His bead dropped on his breast.
His breath came faint and fainter,
And soon he sank 20 rest.
And then arose an uprOar,
And boundcss was the glcc,
Among these little scholars.
The schoolmaster to see.
The Ounce tried all his antics,
His vacant stare and grin,
TO gain one shout of laughter,
And multiply the din.
See, now he points his finger
At the masters face SO white,
And rolls his eyes and chattcrs
With ludlcrous alright.
And all the little urchins
And maidens shout with JOY,
And with the tears of laughter
Cry, What funny boy"
An hour now was passing,
But still the master slept,
And greater grew the tumult
These little scholars kept.
Until little maiden,
Who watched the haggard face,
With grave concern and wonder
Stole softly from her place
Stole softly to the master
And gently touched his head.
And started back in terror
The Sch0OlndSter IrdS dead,

PUMPKIN PIES.

I've tried the best
In East and West,
I've lunchcd meath tropic sun,
I've tcsted all
The fruits that fall,
-,nh Ike them every one
But North or South
] will the world apprise,
Fer tasted food
One.half so good
rs our own pumpkin pies.
Upon the vine,
In rain and and shine,
Through fragrant day and night,
The yellow globe
In emerald robe
Drinks up the summer light.
On, golden sweet,
The suns repeat
To mold thy luscious size,
That we may come
And roll thee home.
Our lovely girls,
With shining cur's
Put neatly in cap,
Cut slice on slice,
And peel it nice,
And stew III 10 pap
Then milk is had,
And eggs they add,
And sweeten as Is wise,
While Others haste
To spice to taste
These homemade pumpkin pics.
Oh, pure and fair,
This food so rare,
Made of all that's best.
No creatures pain
Goes to its gain,
But only natures zest;
For summer days
And autumn haze
And smiles from bcautys eyes
Arc in dish,
Mixed to our wish,
That we call pumpkin pies.
No wonder, then,
That loyal men,
From Florida to Maine,
Their quarter eat,
The same repeat,
And pass their plate again;
That exiles fret
With vain regret,
And yex the air with signs,
When forced TO stay
In climcs away
From their own pumpkin pics.
SO to our boast
give toast,
Embroidered all in rhyme:
May pumpkin round
With us abound
Through future autumn-timc,
And may our girls,
With shining curls,
And tender, bcaming eyes,
All learn by heart
The happy art
or making pumpkin pies

BLOODY TRAGEDY.-One of the most
terrible of the bloody tragedies for
which the border States are noted
comes from the banks Of Platte river,
in Iowa. One Ames had been in the
habit of abusing his wife so cruelty
that, on one occasion, he would have
been lynched but for the wife's en-
treaties. Scarcely had the neighbors
gone when he brutality murdered the
woman who had just saved his fife,
and, in company with the murdered
wifels sister, his paramour, rode away
with the dead body and sunk it in the
river. He was observed, and a body
of men speedily dealt summary JUS
tice to the guilty pair They shot the
woman, hung Ames, and burned their
bodies TO ashes

THREE years ago Boise county was
on the turning point" At that time
there were no new buildings in Idaho
City, and many Of the old ones were
empty. Since then the population Of
our town has steadily increased, and
about fifteen new residences erected,
and the old ones all occupied. Our
placer mines yield less every year,
aud their decrease has been rBoEe than
supplied By the increase in quartz
mining Men were compelled, owing
to many placer claims being worked
out, TO prospect, and many relocated
mines that were worked teu or twelve
years ago without success. They
have, so far as worked, paid All we
need now to class the Basin among
the noted mining districts, is a few

mills. Tie owners Of most Of our
good lodges are poor men, yet some OF
them have succeeded admirably. The

The fair in our city has attracted
people from every portion of the state,
who flock to see the products, improve
ments and curiosties collected at the
exhibition of north Texas. They are
varied aud interesting, buG not more
so than the mammoth store of Messrs.
Sanger Bios, which has just been COM
pleted, and il the largest and best APP
pointed In the Lone Star state. We
call the attention Of everybody TO their
clothing department, embracing every
thing in the line, from a suit for the
smallest boy to all outfit for the largest
man. Everything in the shape of
clothing is constantly on hand.
The firm do an immense johbing trade
in this department, and therefore
the assortment is never incomplete. 1t
must not be supposed that because the
house keep also general stock of dry
goods, thai they do not pay full atten-
tion to clothing. On the contrary,
their clothing department is larger,
better, and contains q greater variety
of styles than any house in Texas,
that make clothiDga speciality. Their
prices also, are beyond competition
Handling the great amount OF goods
that they do, and having their goods
manufactured themselves, they can
leave far behind, ia regard to selling
low, any competitors in the state. To
all who are about to purchase cold
weather goods of any description, we
would advise them to call at the grand
emporium of Sanger Brothers.
