Scarce One.
IRON THE GERMAN OF ALFRED FRIspxA
BY W. L. SHOEMAKER.


The plough tears up the tawny land
And burrows follow where it goes;
The sower at the seod-time strows
The grain therein with lavish hand.
Thick springs the golden wheat, and like
Stand in the field each haum and spike,
As dismal days that know no change.
Yet in the midst a strange, fair flower is
blooming.
An alien seed was i'll the grain
The sower sowed, and thrive amain
Leaf, thorn, and fower.cup fair and
strange.
OF life, Time burrows up the land;
We follow each his own path goes;
Scarce one finds in the grain he strows
One seed Of love from Gods own hand.

WOman'S Inconsistency.

We do not assert that woman is ALSO
lutely fixed in her love loyalty but she
is such compared to men. Were she a
hundred times less stable than she is,
he might we'll honor her in that as his
infinite superior. Love to her means
loyalty, dedication. She is liable to
deceive herself--she is far more liable to
be deceived. But when she gives with
out reserve or stint the wealth of her
affection, she plays the prodigal to the
last, unless his conduct stirs her to
count the cost. The law of her bong
is not to swerve where her heart l'..s
the way. nor will she, save eXcepi,"u-
ally. Too often, however, her faithful
heart is driven back by him who sum-
moned it from the tirst-driven back by
neglect and Indifference, rejection
and to shield himself, he calls his
GOODNESS or his cruelty her in
constancy. He is industrious in
finding faults in her that will exc lse
his own. He says she is tickle-incon-
slant. She cannot comprehend ho~ or
why she is so, though she has moi the
boldness to dissent from what she hears
on every hand. She discovers in him
extraordinary lapses from loyalty, vio-
lated pledges, sundered ties. These are
not natural to her; but as she, her teach
ers say, was born inconstant, he cannot
be SO, surely. Her divergence from
him helps her in her uprighteous self
condemnation. Her looking at herself
through his eyes draws his defects
and exaggerates her own. He is
her consider and casuist. He always
puts her in the wrong, and graciously
pardons her for the sin he has himself
/ committed. No marvel her logic is
perplexed, and her ethics are bewil-
dered. For such is mans power over
woman. -Lady's Journal.

ARTEMUs WARDS DYING DAYs.-The
paragraph relating to Charles F.
Browne (Artemus Ward) printed from
Scribner's Magazine in yesterdays Tri-
bu,se, has elected note from cores
pendent, who says that during recent
visit to London he occupied IN Craven
street tie same rooms which were
Brownies during his stay in that city.
Artemus was spoken of kindly by every
body in the house, and the landlady
was never weary of descanting upon
his affability and humorous talk. She
said, speaking from personal observa-
ton. that his popularity in the best
social circles of London was something
uncommon, and that she had never
had SO many carriages with coronets
on the panels at her door before or
since. Yet this success came slowly
the first nights of the lectures were
failures; but soon there was such a
rush to Egyptian Hall that it was next
to impossible to get in if one was at all
late. Poor Browne was even then dy-
ing of consumption. and was only kept
alive by slim ulants constantly admin
istered to him during the night by his
servant.--N. Y. Tribune.

on the day specified. He guarantees
correctness, which is of the greatest
importance to miners and prospect RS.
A great many samples of ore have for
sometime past been sent from this
county to Salt Lake and Virginia, and
