Another Year

BY KATE NJ. BRowFLEE SHERWOOD.
Another year! Why start, o soul,
When smilingly thy Lord
UnfoldS to thee spotless scroll,
Thine actions to record?
Thou should'St each new and glowing year
With joyful welcome hail!
Why stand st thou trembling then with fear
Why question and turn pale?
Another year. Consider, SOUL
CouldS't thou have better done
If all the days that swiftly roll
Had tarried one by one?
Had'st all the battles thou didst wage
With tull success been crowned;
Would'st thou be stronger to engage
The foes that still surround?
Ah even our defeats may lead
To more victorious height;
Sometimes the sliding foot we need,
To set our pathway right.
o soul, let this sweet solace give,
Thy deeds may faint and fall,
But thoughts, alone immortal, live
Triumphant over all.

Down With the Heather Chinee.

| Faith, this country will go the devil,
Tis plain for a blind man to see;
| We have fallen on days that are evil,
All because of the heathen Chinee,
With his queer wooden shoes and his pigt all,
| And his thrift, and his economee;
Bad luck to the Heather Chinee!
! Just think of a fellow who Iabors
Who lives upon just next to nothing.
And never goes out on spree
Not a tramp nor beggar among them,
And never a pauper we sec
Oh, murder that Heather Chinee
Don't talk of this refuge of nations.
The Home of the Brave and the Free;
'Tis true we take all sorts of people,
Excepting the Heather Chinee.
Tipperary is welcome forever,
And beer-drink king old Germanee;
But out with the Heather Chinee!
You may search in the jails and poorhouses.
And folks of all nations you see,
And their uncles, their aunts, and their cousins,
But never the one from Chinee.
oh, the country will go to the devil,
This glorious Land of the Free.
Just because of the Heathen Chinee!
What's the good of rat-eating stranger,
Who won't drink either rum or whiskee?
Who eversaw him in a caucus
This housekeeping Heather Chinee?
You can't put him up for an office;
He can't keep corner grocree;
Faith, he'll ruin the Land of the Free!
Worse than all, when he comes to peg out,
Not even his carcass leaves he
To the land where he made all his money,
But his body he ships Ger the sea;
Thus robbing the Land of the Free
OF his copper-skinned ed carcass. the miser,
The close-fisted Heather Chinee!
Let us go for the Mongol, my brothers;
Rouse up the fierce Democracee;
There are none of them drunkards or loaferS,
So we're down On the Heather Chinee.
Hurra for the Home of the Free!
SssThe refuge where all find safetee-
Excepting the Heather Chinee.
Don't talk of the honor of treaties,
Of i0SultinU the FIN nbaSSpn 7
Can't we do as we like in this country?
Just wait bit, boys, end you'll see
How to run out the Heather Chinee,
The almond-eyed washee-washee!
Bah snap for your Chinese treatee!

The Fun Turned Out Earnest.

Years ago, into wholesale grocery store in Boston walked tall, muscular looking man, evidently fresh conner from some backwoods town in Maine or New Hampshire. Accosting the first person he met, who happened to be the merchant himself, he asked:
 |" You don't want to hire a man in your store, do youp'
 Well" said the merchant, 'tI don't know; what can you doP"
 "Do?'' said the man; .' Irather guess I can turn my hand to almost anything what do you want done?"
 "Well, if was to hire man, 1t would be one that could lift well-a strong, wiry. fellow; one for instance, that could shoulder a sack of coffee like that yon- der, and carry it across the floor and never lay it down"
 ''There, now, Capt'in," said the coun- tryman, '' that's just me. l can lift any thing 1 hitch to; you can't suit me bet ter. What will you give a man that will suit youp"
 "I'll tell you" said the merchant t; $ if you will shoulder that sack of coffee and carry it across the store twice and never lay it down, l will hire you a year at Si00 per month. /"
 "Done," said the stranger. and by this time every clerk in the store had gath cred around and waited to join in the laugh against the man, who, walking up to the sack, threw it across his shoulder with perfect ease, although extremely heavy, and walked with it twice across the store, went quietly to a large hook which was fastened to the wall, and hanging it up turned to the merchant and said:
 "There, now, it may hang there till doomsday, I shall never lay it down. What shall I go about, misterp Just give me plenty to do, and $l00 per month, and it's all right
 The clerks broke into laugh, and the merchant, discomfited yet satisfied, kept his agreement, and to-day the green countryman is the senior partner in the firm, and is worth million dollars.

Recalled to Life.

The recall of a girl to life by sis ter's shriek is one of the local topics of the Journal, of Evansville, Ind. The young lady had been quite ill for weeks, and was thought to be dying of con sumption. She had grown so weak and emaciated that her strength was no more than a child's One afternoon, while lying upon her couch. her sister came in from walk and sat by the bedside. A conversation began, and the invalid be- gan to speak. As she uttered the first word she felt bewildering weakness, and sinking flutter of her breath Her eyes became fixed, the loweriaw dropped as in death, and the body became mo tionless, while consciousness disap- peared. The sister leaped from her seat and ran to the door shrieking to her mother that her sister was dead. The sound of the shriek penetrated through the veil of death, and reused the sinking faculties. The blood, which had con gestrd the lungs, was sent back by the nervous shock, and gathering her strength by a strong effort of will, the invalid opened her eyes and awoke to life again, breathless and amazed at the thrilling peril she had escaped.

A Prolific Song Writer.

AProvidence correspondent of the Bos-
 on HerGld, in a recent communication, writes as follows of a prolific song writer There is said to be but three writers of popular songs at present in the country who can be called "prolific." They are George Cooper, Arthur w. French and Samuel N. Mitchell. These gentlemen composed more than one-half of the bal lads which are sung in nearly every household, enjoy a brief hour of popu larity and then give place to others. MT. Mitchell, the last-namcd of the trio of song writers, lives ill Providence. He has been writing songs since 1869. and is the author of over 700 pieces, which have been published by all the prominent mu- sic publishers in the country. He is thirty-two years old, is daily engaged in business. and only writes his songs as a sort of g side issue," as Colonel Sellers fortunes for the publishers, and gone the rounds of the United States and Eng land. "Touch the harp gently my pret- ty Louise," which MT. Mitchell wrote early in his career, coined money in England, where the publisher sold from 200, ,000 to 300,000 copies, and in this country it was a large sonrce of profit and very popular for long time. The composer, however, only received a small sum for it, just escaping fortune from simple lack of ! proper estimate of his work. Sadie Ray" '' Put My Lit tie Shoes Away" When the Whip poorwill is Calling" and number of MT. Mitchells songs have had a great sale during the past ten years. He wrote the songs in three popular school singing books, "The Favorite. D "The Mocking Bird" and 1.-The Whippoorwill,' of which thousands of copies were sold. He is now so well known to music publish CTS East and West that orders for songs pour in upon him all of the time, and if he should write them night and day he could not begin to supply the demand. His songs aresimple in construction, and become easily popular. The publishers either allow royalty of three per cent. upon the sales or buy the copyright. The price usually paid is from $l0 to $50 for a song, but special contracts are often made. Musical and burlesque perform CTS are constantly writing to MT. Mitch- q. for songs to be written to certain titles which they send. These songs are not published, but are retained by their OWL CTS as part of their stock in trade, and sang by them in theatrical performances. The profession of song writing is said to be a growing one in this country, and all most any piece which has sparkle and snap in it is eagerly taken by the music pubIiShers

The Dinner.HOrn.

There are several ways of expressing the same sentiment. For instance, By ron writes:
 s'That all-softening, overpSwering knell,
 The tocsin of the soul-the dinner-bell"
 But the philosopher Billings, who uses bad spelling to set forth good sense, thus speaks of the bells rival:
 The dinner-horn iz the oldest and most sakred horn thare iz. It iz set tew musk, and plays 't Home, Sweet Home" about noon. It has bin listened tew any band haz. Yu kan hear it further than yu kan one ov Rodman's guns. It will arrest man and bring him in quicker than sheriff7s warrant It kan out-foot enny other noize It kauzes the deaf tew hear, and the dunn tew shout for joy.

 How long it took to fill the tender! The engine stood hot and smoking by the water-tank, and the water came out in a slender stream, while the poor mother stood looking on, fearful and impatient.
 ''Good-bye! I'll put up the pipe.-- Heaven help ye!-the up grade--''
 The rest was lost, for the engine shot ahead on and on out over the open prairie. The water tank seemed to sink down into the earth, and the shining rails stretched longer and longer out be- hind.

The fireman sprang out through the 1 forward window and ran along the engine and down upon the cow-catcher The monster began to slacken its terri l ble pace, and in moment 1t struck the car with a gentle jar and stopped. The fireman thought himself a lively man. but the woman was before hin and sprang up into the car.
 There they lay, safe and sound, in the corner of the car-Mary and Tommy fast asleep, and Kitty watching oyer | them.
 "Oh! mother! I knew you would come. Mary and Tommy cried them selves to sleep, and -"
 Nobody could say a word. The fire man tried to rub bis eyes, and only marked his face with black streaks The mother laughed and cried all a once. The engineer picked up the littl, ones and quietly took them into the cal of the engine.

The Two Mysteries.

 We know not what it is, dear, This sleep so deep and still, The folded hands, tho awful calm The cheek so pale and still The lids that will not lift again, Though we may call and call The strange white solitude of peace That settles Ter all We know not what it means, dear, This desolate heart pain This dread to take our daily way, And walk in it again; We know not to what other sphere The loved who leave us go, Nor why we're left to wonder still, Nor why we do not know. But this we know; our loved and dead If they should come this day, Should come and ask us, "What is life ?' Not one of us could say: Lie is a mystery as deep As ever death can be; Yet, oh, how sweet it is to us, This lite we live and see. Then might they say-these vanished ones- And blessed is the thought, |" So death is sweet to us, beloved Though we may tell you naught. We may not tell it to the quick This mystery ot death- Ye may not tell us if ye would, The mystery of breath" The child who enters life comes not With knowledge or intent, So those who enter death must go As little children sent. Nothing is known; out I believe That God is overhead, And as life is to the living, So death is to the dead.

The above comparison shows reduc- tion of nearly fifty-one per cent. in the number of lives lost and about thirty four per cent. reduction in the number of accidents causing loss of life. The in- creased efficiency of the steamboat in spection service is better shown by the following comparative statement: Tn 1875 the number of lives lost on steam boats was 607; in 1876. 394; in 1877, 224 !; in 1878.

A surveying party, under the dir
ection of w. A. Truesdell, chief engi-
neer of the Ii. & r. f. R. wy, have
been mt work for several weeks past
exploring the eastern and southern
parts of this county for railroad routes.
Two independent lines have been ex-
plored; one leaving the located line of
the II. & r. i. r. Wy, near the foot
of the "big hill'' and running down
the Trimbelle valley to Bay City, and
Maiden Rock The other line starts
on the north line of Ellsworth where
the located line of II. & r. +. r. wy,
terminates and runs down the Lost
Greek valley and Rush River to Maid
en- Rock. AS the engineers notes
are not yet worked up, it can not be
stated which is the most favorable
route. ThGre are strong arguments
in favor of each and it is highly prob
able that it may take some time and
particular inducements to actually de-
termine the location. AS our readers
probably well know, both routes pass
for miles of their distance through a
comparatively unsettled country which
must be developed to afford local sup
port for so costly an enterprise as a
railroad and serious problem will be
whether the railroad should await the
development of the county, or vice
versa.
That at some time, perhaps no very
distant date, a railroad will run from
River Falls, or some other point, south
easterly, seems highly probable. A
practicable route can, with skillful
engineering, be found without doubt.
The surveys made have settled that
question. The time of building such
railroad is yet in doubt. That it
would benefit the county at large is
beyond question, and is to be hoped
that capitalists may be induced, after
the work upon the survey completed,
to look favorably upon one or the 9th
er of the routes.
