Hand from the shadOwa.

The heart of the simplest woman
Is amystery unrevealed,
And the love that seems most transparent
Is most hepelessly concealed.
We care not for the love while we have it,
We know not OF love till tits lost;
We scatter its treasures broad handed,
Nor reckon the ultimate cost
LOT a hand comes forth from the shadows
A touch that knew of old
That could crown the gloomiest fancies
With an aureole Of gold.
And think how that hand so loving,
That craved but TO lie in mine,
on met an impatient gesture,
Or found no responsive sign.
And from yonde r painted canvass
catch the old. Wistful look,
So timidly, mutely jealous
OF the love gave my book.
And only too well remember
How 1 chafed at the uumb reprOach,
And sWore that no thought of woman
Should on my pursuits encroach.
Was blind, or mad. or heartless?
The face and the hand are gone,
The light of my life has vanished
am utterly alone.
The brain that her chances kindled
Is blighted and sd and chilled,
And the gorgeous dreams OF the future
Can neVermore be fulfilled.
loved as a man who Is selfish,
And she loved in q woman's way;
And mans love com pared with a woman's
Is as darkness unto day.
AS a spendthrift scatters his birthright,
i wasted the dover she gave.
And too late / ind my ambition
Has followed her into the grave.

This is the time for tree peddlers.
Now, if any person will discard COM
mon sense and all good business prin-
ciples, and order stock from these I'M
known and irresponsible chaps-weIl,
they deserve their fate. I think this
would be safe and very reasonable
course to pursue, to wit: Before order
ing trees from any one demand of him
a certificate to the fact that he is the
authorized agent of a nursery estab-
lishment you know to be reliable, and
that they are responsible for the genu-
ineness of what said agent sells. Be
sure his papers are not fraudulent
Nursery establishments frequently sell
off in large lots old refuse stock at a
mere song to get it off the ground
The chaps who buy it then canvass the
country as agents of some widely
known and very reliable nursery, when
the proprietors OF said nursery would
disclaim all responsibility in the
matter. Buy trees as near home as
you can and go to the nursery and get
them, being careful that they are prop
erly dug.
Yours very truly, J. NJ. MILLER.

numbered 400 in 1874, 500 in 1877,

To steal and not be found out lie
counted q virtue by the Sioux war
rior, but to be caught in the act or
to be found in possession of the
stolen property is disgrace, and 1t
is the privilege of the squaws to
taunt and tease him, who exercise
this privilege to the fullest extent,
and to be ridiceled by q squaw is
the worst degradation that can be
afflicted; consequently he very sell
dom steals. Should hs be caught
in the act three or four times, he
would be summed by all the war
riors and made q squaw man. He
is then disgraced forever, being de-
barred from all warrior proceed
ings whatsoever, which disgrace to
an Indian ls worse than death, and
many prefer death to that punish
ment and kill themselves. When q
warrior or young man is made q
eQuaw man, the head men of the
tribe take his gun, bow and arrows,
ponies, all his war apparel, In fact,
everything-and In turn they are
given to the parties to whom he
had st0len from and to destitute
widows and orphans of fallen braves
aud the thief is turned over to the
mercy of the band. But should he
be q successful thief outside of his
own band, then he lie praised for his
sagacity, and the more he steals the
higher he gets. Should he luckily
happen to be brave Indian and an
accomplished thief combined, then
he Is away up on the brave list, and
no expedition is ftted up but he is
invited to be one of the party, very
often as its leader. This kind of an
individual Is q terror TO the squaw
man, as he invariably taunts him
when and wherever he meets him.
There is but one squaw man in the
whole of Red Clouds band. i have

The Stepping Stone to Health.

The acquisition of vital energy is the step
ping stone to health. When the system lacks
vitality, the various organs flag in their duty,
become chronically irregular, and disease is
eventually instituted. To prevent this I'M
happy state of things the debilitated system
should be built up by the use Of that inimita-
BILE tonic, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
invigorates the digestive organs, and insures
the thorough conversion OF food into blood OF
a nourishing quality, from whence every mus
Gle, nerve and fiber acquire unwonted supplies
OF vigor, and the whole system experiences
the beneficial effect. Appetite returns, the
system is refreshed by healthfuf slumber, the
nerves grow strong aud calm, the dependency
begotten of chronic indigestion and an uncer-
tain state Of health disappears, and that sal
low appearance of the skin peculiar to habitu-
al invalids, and persons deficient in vital ener-
gy, is replaced by more becoming tinge.
