Some unknown cause depresses me tonight.
The house is full of laughter and sweet mirth !;
The has held out but pleasure and delight.
Down in the parlor some one blithely sings;
chime Of laughter echoes in the hall
But, all unseen by other eyes, strange things,
Rat-lke, do seem to glide along the wall
rise and laugh, and say will not care
| call them idle fancies, one and all;
And yet, suspended by single hair,
The sword of fate seems trembling, soon to fall.

And mingle with the pleasure.seeking throng;
But close behind me follow spectral feet,
That pause with me, or with me move along.
seek my room, and close and bolt the door
I draw the curtain and turn up the light;
But close beside me, closer than before,
This nameless Something stands-yet out Of

Take form, and face me! be no longer dumb.
But tell me who tnou art, and wherefore sent!

A Lift for Wool Growers.

With more cheerful business views has
come demand fer wollen goods, which
is depicting the cloth market and Great
ing a brisk search tor woods throughout
the sheep walks of the country. An adj
vance Of 20 Der cent. in clothing woods
occurred in few weeks, the low and
medium goods feeling the strongest IN
pulse. 1t is not from any ordinary move
ment in the wooden goods market; the
manufactures have practised the hand
to-mouth principle in purchasing through
this era Of depression, until, with stocks
exhausted and signs Of recuperation On
every hand, it is evident that the present
clip will all be required at advancing
rates. A speculative mania has seized
the market and buyers arc running a
all times and seasons its own, even
nights and Sundays. The unwashed
fleece Of unshorn and unseen sheep has
been freely purchased at rates ranging
from 25 to 80, 80, and 40 cents, at dis
tant country points. California, Texas,
the recesses Of the Rocky mountains,
have been filled with wool spectators.
Much of the wool has changed hauds, and
any grower still holding it would do we'll
not to wait too long for higher prices.
To those who need money, as most far
mers do, the ''bird- -the-hand' is safer
than flock in the bushes of the future.
We connot too much emphasize too
much objection to the present methods
OF wool buying which are unfair and per
nlcious in the extreme, tending to dis
courage improvement in quality and
cleanliness, and placing a premium up
on dishonesty. Indeed conscientious
growers can we'll question whether it is
an act of dishonesty to make heeces as
dirty as possible, when buyers openly
offer higher prices tor them than for
much cleaner fleeces that have not been
carried through muddy stream on the
backs Of the sheep In plain terms the
washing lsa pretense of cleanliness, used
to cover an uncomfortable "shave" upon the
multitude of unwashed t1eeces. If an
honest buyer undertakes to make a fair
distinction, upon the basis of quality and
quantity of cleansed wool, the dishonest
will come in and offer more than the
worth of a clip to a wool grower who IN
derstands its value, with the hope of
cheating many others less intelligent to
more than make good this loss. If grow
ers would agree not to wash at all there
would be an end to this unfairness: then
there would be some regard for condition
in buying and the result might prove a
premium upon care and attention to eyerv-
thing that might effect either quality or
condition Of wool, Of course this furry
~ill cause revival of the wool Interest,"
These who always kept sheep NAV keen
still more, and find a profit in il, while
others will enter the business with zeal to
leave it with disgust on the first fall.
