ChiId's Heart.

The other day a curious old wo-
man, having a bundle in her hama,
and walking with painful effort, sat
down on curb step, up WOODWARD
avenue, to rest. She was curious De,
cause a smile crossed her wrlnKleo
face as children passed her. IL
might have been this smile that at

oldest about nine. They stood IN
row in front of the old woman, say

face. The smile frightened, fingered
and then suddenly faded away ana
the corner OF her old calico apron
went up to wipe away tear. Then
the eldest child stepped forward ana
asked:
care you sorry because you
haven't got any children :"
"I-I had children once, but they
are all dead" whispered the wo'
man, sob in her throat. ,,
"I'm awful sorry" said the little
\ girl as her own chin quivered. ia
Give YOU one of my little brothers
here, but you see I haven't got but
two, and / don't believe I'd like 10

Pedestrians who saw three well
dressed children put their aS'ns
around that strange old woman

thought to add much to the meaning
of the great Christian feast of East
er Sunday, to know that it dates back
to the beginning of the world. The
Pagan, Egyptian and Persian and
Norseman, knowing nothing of God
or each other, all had eyes and intel
ligence to see in the budding of
Spring, a prophecy of the final tri-
umph of life over death; and singu

Parberry and Conrad labored hard to amend
each deserving of a high compliment tor
their efforts. Sedman and Hickman favored
the bill, a factthat we blush to record, for
in no other action through the entire session
have they Shown a want OF consistency and
Judgment.
The President of the Council, DIR. Mitch
ell, was complimented at the close of the
session with a vote of thanks from the
members for his fairness in ruling, and his
generosity to the members, and we think
his yes on the bullion bill was the only
important act that could not be heartily en-
dorsed by all.
The Speaker of the House was also voted
a s'thank you'' for his Empartial rulings,
etc, AL Of which was proper, for Mr.. Word
is q good pa~rliamentarian, but the gentle
man carries home with him a blush for his
action, which we venture will be painful be-
fore it banishes from memory. The rail-
road men and miners should thank him tor
his efforts in passing their exemption acts.
Men have Il right to differ onaquestions, and
the speaker is certainly entitled to his.
Speakers lave a right to descend from the
chair in order to take part in measures. but
those speakers whose names appear highest
in the estimation OF, the nation, never con-
descended to do so. But this is an age of
advancement and the gentleman may have
cause to be proud of the part he took on
the floor for these measures. W @g
The apportionment bill, which had pass
ed the Council, was lost in the House on the
= last day of the session. On the third read
ing of this bill, Mr.. Paul Mccormick, OF
Custer county, made his only speech. In
presenting the claims Of his county he de-
scsibed the grassy hills, fine farms, wild or
chards, in an excellent manner, claiming
more acres, more farms, more prosperity,
and a larger and thriftier population thar
some of the older counties. He made nc
threats, but thanked the House for the cour
tesies shown him and their generous ane
unanimous accord to the wishes of his coan
ty. The failure of the bill was his victory

THE RAILROAD r YER!

Come, subsidize us, you dear folks;
Exempt us from taxation,
For we are going to build a road
That will meet your appreciation.
Wen build it right into your midst,.
And it will be surprising
How very much that we will do
BY a little substituting.
All we want is just twelve years.,
Twelve years of exemption;
Eighty thousand IS all twill COST,
And sure twill be redemption
From the thraldom Of high freights,
Which bull-wilackers teamyou.
Wen bring this road up to your doors
For your accommodation;
Bring in the passengers and freight,
Of course-for compensation. t~&5
But my kind dears do not you think .9@.y
That benefited by it
You'll be a great deal more than us?
Do please exempt and try it.
The first year here no doubt Well freight
OF o II dear knows how many;
And that at two cents less than now
Would save you many penny.
Blu then (aside) in winter time,
When ice is in the river,
And boats can't run, and bull-Whackers-
Do nothing else but shiver.
Why, then We'll take the tariff off,
Not want a cent of money,
Exempt You all from paying freight.
of course we will, is't funny?
Now don't you see, by bringing in
Cheap freights, and folks to use it,
The good we do? Now, gentlcfolks,
gxempt-pray don't refuse it.
Montana folks, accept our thanks
For building up a nation-
Good place to run q railroad TO,
But-erampt as from tardtioas.
We know twill pay q dividend;
Our bonds will get redemption
At over par before they're due.
But please give us-eDempt1on.
Now when we rise from off our knees
Don't sarcastic be by saying
That YOU'RE the ones, instead OF US,
That should have done the praying.

Concerning an inquiry made of it by
correspondent, the Jewish South says :
''1n answer to your inquiry as to wheth-
or the Hon. Leon Jastremski of Baton
Rouge, La, is Hebrew, we can posi-
lively state upon his own authority, that
he never belonged to our race. The er-
rOneous statement of the contributing
editors of Of the Reformer and Jewish
Times of New York, has certainly called
forth this inquiry, as this five dollar
journal published Mr.. Jastremski's BIZ
ography under the heading of Eminent
lsraelites." In justice to our friend, we
must add, that he is a liberal minded
gentleman, and as such favorite with

Tonight l am sad and lonely,
For twas only yesterday,
That l bade farewell to the one love,
Ny darling who wears the grey.
He pressed me fondly to his heart,
And kissed my tears away,
And vowed to be true to his little love,
Who's lover Of the grey.
Under the silvery moonbeams,
Together we stood last night,
And he pressed one kiss to my aching
brow
And tore himself from my sight.
Under the silvery moonbeams,
alone I stand tonight,
Vainly watching for ono love
And the glimmer of buttons bright.
But, alas! alas! my heart is sad,
For many lonely day,
Will wearily watch and yearn for him
My darling who wears the grey.
But am ! alone in my trial of griefi
Is my heart the only one,
Through which Cupid, the wary imp Of
love,
His sharpened dart has rum
All, no! there's many, yes, many maid,
Who will weep the night away,
And sigh for the sight of her own true
Her darling vino wears the grey.
There's many, yes, many q lonely maid,
Whose lover fondly pressed
Upon her brow one last, long kiss
And clasped her to his heart.
And looking down into her eyes,
He saw the tear-drops shine;
AS my lover looked at me, last night,
And saw the tears in mine.
Well watch the days grow bright and
dim,
Till three months pass away;
Well watch and wait for our dear, loved
ones,
Our darlings who wear the grey.
