THINGS Which DO NOT CHANGE.-While the
tread of Time leaves its mighty impress upon
the world and the resistless march of years
changes the face of nature, the fact still con
fronts US that after all, the great laws of nature
and the value of straight flush or four aces,
never changes. This is correct, and men
would sigh were it otherwise than so. These
remarks are made to lead mems minds Alright
and because thousands of minimizing people,
when they gaze upon the majestic movements
Of the ocean, remark within the nseves that in
q thousand years from now the old sea will
laugh and moan as it does to-day, and that it
is the grandest thing on earth In thousand
years from now the sea may be rolling over
Carson, or men may be able to ride to the
Sandwich Islands on the cars. Yet all this
while the value of four aces taken in connec-
ton with poker pot, will doubtless remain
the same. In musing upon so important q
subject, the APPEAL cannot restrain from
reaching for its dusty Tyre, and pouring forth
its soul in song:
While men in terror feel their souls
Quail meath Times blighting touch,
No man need ever fear who holds
Four aces in his clutch. |

Bodie Free Press: Since May, 1873, there
has occurred about one hundred and twenty
deaths in Bode. Of this number sixty have
occurred in the past two months. These
figures are taken from the books Of the under

population Bodie is not such an unhealthy
place az it is represented to be, and all the

been unnecessary and foolish.

1t has been iDtimated above that the
exporter "bears" will probably sue
coed In reducing the price to 80 cents
to enable them to fill contracts with

therefore, is evident, and with these

corn, statistics relating thereto are APP
propriate. The crop this year is esti-
mated at ! 800. J00,0 900 bushels, subject,
however, to early frosts in some Sec

Source OF Prosperity.

How powerful u comparatively
small advance In the price Of wheat
(such as we have recently had) affects
the prosperity OF the whole country Is
strikingly set forth In the following
article from Western paper:
Observe few results briefly collect
ed from statistics aud estimates of the
grain crop. The wheat product, ac-
cording to the most reliable figures at
tainable, IL i0,0O0,0O0 bushels this
year, an increase Of about forty mil
lion bushels In quantity, and OF fully
twenty-five per cent. in quality. The
greatest variation In the market (Chi-
cago being the standard) was from 1884,
cents August 9Th, to 81 ,0Ss September
%, difference of 24l cents, This
would be equal to about one hundred
md ten million dollars. However,
the higher quotation IL not reliable for
actual estimates Of the benefits deriv-
ed by the country, inasmuch IA little
or no grain changed hands Mt the fig
ures. The average price paid 10y for
eigners Ia not nttainahle with exact
ness, but good authorities think fair
figure would be 30 cents, an advance
on the actual cash value of August
1881 cents OF 81 cents. Last year the
export Of -four aud wheat (reduced to
wheat) was ll0,000,000 bushels; this
year II will DO somewhere about 300.
100000, and the advance Of ak and u
cents will bring Sl3, 900 900 more from
abroad than would have been the case
had the European harvest been an NV
erage one. On the entire crop of 4i0,.
600 900 bushels, the advance will not
be l0ss than $40, 900, 600 In favor of the
farmers, while tho aggregate they will
receive will approximate 400, 600 600 Of
hard dollars, every one OF which Ia
worth what its faco calls for In gold.
An important Item to be considered
In this connection II that tho farmers
still have the major part Of their
wheat In their barns, and will get the
benefit OF the improved prices, with
Chicago hulllng the market, and ad-
vislng them to hold on, there Is not
likely to DO rush OF wheat to the
market, though II viii come In as II Ia
now doing In Chicago, at the rate oi

the better situated farmers, however,

will have n market by tho close Of the
crop year (which extends from Octo.

The Early Worm.

New York Herald
"Come, little pet" the old bird said,
In most endearing term,
"You must be early out of heN
If you would catch the worm"
The smallest of the feathery herd
A puny little thing.
Out sprang that tender baby-bird
To grub for worms and sing.
And, 10 she found an early worm
1t was monster, too
She chlrpcd, ooh, you may writhe ant
squirm,
But will gobble you'll
That birdling,s chirp, the rest affirm,
Vas never after heard,
And it's surmised it was the worm
That caught the early bird.

FLOWERS.
DEDICATED TO MISS IDA VANCE
MISS MOLLIE j. Roy

MISS MOLLIE j. BOY.
Sweet are the beautiful flowers
Early in the bright morn,
When the dew is on their bowers,
And they are newly born.
High up on the mountain summit
They lift their gaudy heads;
In loveliness they affirm it
In their beautiful hedge.
Down in the lowly valley green
They shed their sweet perfume,
And are praised by those who have seen
And welcomed them their room.
Along the river, lake and brook
They neatly bow themselves,
As if on the bright waves to look,
As they collapse and swell,
In the green orchard they are found,
Mingling with the long grass;
And on every neat little mound
We see them as we pass.
In the pretty garden and yard
Which is prepared for them,
They are so aweet that it looks hard
TO break single stem.
We bring them in our sitting room
70 cheer our winter days
With their sweet and GLORIOUS bloom
Which reflect the bright rays.
May we, like pretty flowers be
All filled with lOvcliucss;
May we, like humble Christians, see
The way to happiness.
