DRIED shrimps, very tine, at the Italian

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1878-10-22

Rachel covers before his wrath, and
turns her head away rs if to shut out the
sight of the face of tho dead. which, in it's
still eloquence, seems to be upbraiding her.
Yes, you murdered her, even while you
professed friendship and simulated love.
She forgave you, because she was more an
gel than woman. 1 AVE no forgiveness for
one whose cruel deception broke a gentle,
loving heart and threw lifelong shadows on
that of another"
Rachel looks at him with a pleading,
half-terrified gaze in her blue eyes, but she
can read 10 mercy in his stony face as he
walks out and leaves her alone with the
dead.
The autumn winds sigh mournfully with
out, as they flap the brown leaves against
the window panes. The twilight throws
strange shadows upon the pallid face of the
dead, which wears a sweet smile, as il she
had solved the wonderful mystery of death
and was satisfied. And why not !? In solv-
ing the mystery of death, do we not also
solve the mysteries Of life-the dispensa-
tions which fret and worry us, striving in
vain to solve the problem of fate.
Darker and darker grow the shadows
around her and settle gloomily upon he
heart. She cries out in her agony, as She
hears the retreating footsteps of Angus
Mcdonald
What have / gained by deception ?"
Truth alone is profitable" seems to be
the answer sounding in her ears but the
knowledge has come too late for remorse,
but not too late for q bitter repentance.

THOUGHTS.

No man was ever truly great without
divine inspiration.
AL good thoughts, words, and actions are
from the celestial world.
Those who aspire after what is holy
and pure shall have assistance from
above.
Ennui is a malady for which the only
remedy is work; pleasure is only a pallia-
ton. d
When men grow ~virtuous in their old age
they are merely making n sacrifice to God
of the devils leavings.
The old Jewish saying carries an es-
| sential truth Good deeds have no Sab
bath )" that is, our service to God is cease
less.
Great errors are often connected with
elevated sentiments but in order to I'M
derstand this we must ourselves possess
greatness Of soul.
Statesmen and enthusiasts, who by their
speeches. incite men to noble deeds, are
~divinely inspired, and possessed by the
Divinity.
The single effort by which we stop short
in the down-hill path to perdition is, itself
a greater e~xertion Of virtue than a hundred
acts of justice.
Those who outlive their incomes by
spendor in dress or equipage are well said to
resemble q town on fire-which shines by
that which destroys it.
Good spirits are often taken for good
nature ; yet nothing differs more-insensi
bility being generally the source of the
former, and sensibility of the latter.
The effect of water poured on the root Of
a tree is seen aloft in the branches and
fruit SO in the next world are seen the
effects of good deeds performed here. H8
There are treasures laid up in the hear
treasures Of charity, piety, temperance,
and soberness. These treasures q man takes
with him beyond death when he leaves
this world

Some Erusquc Questions.

through the columns of your paper,
to ask the Workingmen's candi-
date for Mayor question which is

you not, Major Toberman, positive
ly say to one or more persons that
you would not accept the Working
mems nomination for Mayor under
any circumstances whatever? That
you would take their endorse.
ment, but not their nomination ?
l would also like to ask the Hon.
Jesse Fl. Butler, poet, Matchmaker
and engraver, who is the candidate
of the ''W. p" for Council from
the Second Ward, if elected, will he
quit writing silly twaddle for the
Star? Also, will he give us rest
on those poetic effusions of his, and
will he refer US to some one else for
his honesty besides his dead parents
sleeping under pine tree "amid
the green hills of Michigan
Los Angeles, Nov. 2l. VETO.
1--WE dissent from so much of the
foregoing as is impolite to Mr.. But
ler' We think the Poet Watch
maker is entitled to indulge the di-
vine afflatus as much as he likes.
We should regard it as q crime to
attempts to clip the wings of his po-
etic Pegasus. Our principle reason
for opposing Mr.. Butler for the City
Council is the fear we entertain
that the novel stove to which we re.
ferred yesterday is not portable,
and that he thus could not convey
1t Into the Council Chamber. Were
he to catch his death Of cold in con.
sequence we might have to record
the fact that Mr.. Buffers health
was seriously impaired. -EDIToI

But to return to the school. After
the opening exercises, Miss Leffler's
class of little ones went to their
room. AT former visit, I gave
the most of my time to the higher
department; now I went in with
the smaller children. The teacher
set quietly about her work as if she
knew just what to do and how 1t
should be done. That was NV
fourth visit to schools taught by
the same teacher; hence, l knew
her qualifications and expected to
lind tho school in order, and SO it
was. The third year in the school

Pertinent Questions.

EDITOR HERALD: As askin,
questions Of the different candi
dates for municipal offices, il
reference to their future policy
seems to be in order, will you pleas
allow me, through the columns o
your paper, to PROFOUND few ques
tions to the Workingmen's candi
date for City Attorney, Col. ]. F
Godfrey:
First-Will you, if elected Cit,
Attorney, in the future draw up al
contracts for labor to be perform ed
for the city so ambiguously thai
they can be so construed as to ruiz
the contractor and thereby save a
few dollars for the Taxpayers OF
the city?
Second-Will you agree to rig.
idly enforce Section 6 of Article s
In the new charter, SO as not to al
low any one to escape paying bis
part of the taxes even though he
may pay heavy rents to tho capi-
talists of this city and have nolh-
Ing to support his wife and chill
dren with except by hard day's
work at half what he ought to have,
and the milk of one old crumpled
horned COW, as there is no reason
for his being poor, and no reason
why he should not pay his part Of
the taxes for the privilege of living
in this Christian country under a
perfect blaze of modern ciyiliza,
ton?
Third-Will you agree, at all
times, when there is u street to be
opened, widened or Strengthened,
to advise the City Council that it
is better to condemn than to pur-
chase the property needed, so as to
keep the city eternally in litiga-
ton and give good chance for the
taxpayers to obtain the individ.
uaPs property that is needed for
the public good, without having to
pay much for it, as no man who is
not able to defend suit in the
courts has has any business to be
In the way of public improve.
ment?
Fourth VIII you in the
future, make dligent search
for any technical flaws in
real estate titles, aud when
FOUND, commence suit to recover
the same without any regard to the
Intentions Of the city authorities,
when they parted with these lands,
us those old fogies had no right to
dispose of these lands until we who
are here now should have
chance to buy them, as these
lands are now worth Il great deal of
money, and il they had kept all
these lands till the city was as
large as it is now and then have
sold them, we would have the rich
est city in the world of its size.
Fifth-Will you use every effort
to keep enough litigation on hand
so that the Council will be COM
PEELED to allow you an assistant, SO
as to give you plenty of time to at
tend to these things, as thereby
you will always subserve the best
interests of the heavy Taxpayers
OF this city. j. w. PORTS.
