INDIAN SUMMER.
When the hunters moon is waning
And hangs like . crimson bow,
And the frosty fields of morning
Are white with phantom snow,
Who then Is the beautiful spirit
That wandering smiles and grieves
Along the dcsolste hillsides,
And over the drifted leaves?
She has strayed from the fsr-or dwelling
OF forgotten Indsin braves,
And stolen wistfully earthwsrd
Over the path of graves;
She has left the cloudy gateway
OF the limiting grounds ajar.
To follow the trail OF the summer
Toward the morning star
There's rustic Of soft, slow footsteps,
The toss Of purple plume,
And the glimmer Of golden arrows
Athwart the hazy gloom.
IT'S the smoke of the happy wigwams
That reddcns our wintry sky,
The scent Of unfading forests
That is dreamily floating by.
o shadow sister Of summer
Astray from the world Of dreams,
Thou wrath of the bloom departed,
Thou echo of sprngtide streams,
Thou moonlight and starlight vision
of a day that will come no more,
Would that our love might win thee
To dwell on this stormy shore,
But the roaming Indian goddess
SAYS not for our tender sighs-
She has heard the call Of her hunters
Beyond the sunset skies!
BY her beaming arrows stricken,
The last leaves futtering fall,
With sigh and smile she has vanished
And darkness is over all.

FROST BITTEN.

We were riding home from the Carroll's ball
Nelly Sansargent and |. you know;
The white fakes tiuttered about our lamps.
And our wheels rolled silently through the
snow.
We'd danced together the evening through,
For Bernstein's viols had PLAYED their best :"
Her fair lids dropped, her lids were low,
And her dreamy eyes We're full OF rest
Her white arms nestled along her lap,
Her hands half holding, with weary grace,
Her faded riolets pass ing sweet
Was the far Of lcok ON her fair Young face
watched her, speaking never word,
For would not waken those dreamy eyes /;
But the breath OF the violets filled the air,
And NY thoughts were many and far from
wise.
At last L said to her, bending near:
"Ah, Nelly SanSaryent. sweet 'twould be
To ride together our whole lives long,
Alone with the violets, You and me"
Her fair face flushed and her sweet eyes fell;
Low as the mrrmer Of meadow rills
Her answer came to NE: ''Yes, perhaps;
But who would settle our carriage bills,"
The delicate blossoms hreathed their last:
Our wheels rolled hard on the stones, Just
then,
Where the snow had drifted the subject
dropped,
And has never been taken up again.

A LE.DvILLE kESTAURANT--S INTO
the Tontine Restaurant at any hour OF
the day or evening and you Will see groups
Of i.icn ia twos and threes, sitting with
their chairs drawn close together, their
heads touching, their hands and arms
grasping the chairs for support, yet trcmb-
linz with excitement, and all converslnS
in eager whispers. Now and then they
will glance suddenly and guatlly around
to see if anybody is observing or listen
inc to them. One would imagine they
were gangs of burglars, organizing
scheme to plunder bank. But they are
not criminals-at least they are not dis
cussing crime. If you should be inter
ested enough to listen to their eager con-
versation, you might catch occasional frac-
tions of sentences, such as ''Sure thlng,s
'tMust strike it, "Thirty ounces, For
tune made" etc. These are the conspl-
rators, the visionaries, who are always
getting rich, bat never acquire riches
See how hard they breathe, nov their
eyes sparkle, and how, in their nervous
ness, they are constantly changing their
attitudes And they are sharp, too.
They pride themselves upon knowing SO
much more than anybody else about the
prospects of Leadville-upOn being on
the inside of things, as it were, And
they are not scrupulous, either. Let one
of them out on Chestnut street alone
He sees a group of capitalists talking on
the corner How quickly he surmlses
that something is up, and with what
an air of indifference lie backs up to the
group, and intently surveys some object
on the summit of the snowy range, Prob
ably he takes out an eye-glass, and scans
the horizon with all the appearance OF dis
eerning the weather signs OF course he
is not listening to the strangers who are
talking behind him. But whenever by
canoe he is having confidential inter
view with anybody, he is continually
shifting around, as if he expects somebody
Will cluck up his valuable lore, These
are the men who desperately oppose all
schemes in which they are not themselves
interested, and who chop down trees and
wayiay telegraph boys to prevent the con
sumation of sales. They are characters
of Leadville.

The mother was sick and the

self writing his name with a pen

READ EEzss. YOUNG LADIES.

We heard L very pretty incident
the other day, Which we cannot
help relatiug. \ young lady from
the South, it scc;,s, was woocd
anc Won by = youlbfu! physician
living 1T California. When the
engagement was made the doctor
was rich, having been very sue
cessful at San Francisco. 1t had
not existed six months. however,
when, by al unfortunate invest
mcnt, lie lost the entire heap"
This event came upon him, it
should be added: just as he was
about 10 claim his bride. What
does nc dc Why, like an hon.
orable and chivaIrous young fel-
low as he is, he sits down and
writes the Iady every particular
of the unhappy turn which has
taken place in his fortunes, as
sarlng her that if the fact pro-
duced any change in her feelings
toward him, she is released from
every promise she has made him.
And what does the dear, good
girl? Why, she takes lump of
pure gold which her lover had
sent her in bis prosperity as a
keepsake, and having it manufac-
tured into ring, forwarded it TO
him with the following Bible in
scription engraved in distinct
characters on the outside: En-
treat me not TO leave thee, or to
return from following after thee;
f'r whittier gocst will | 60,
and whittier l"ou lodgcst will I
lodge thy people will be my peo-
pie and thy God my God where
thou diest will die, and there will
[ be buried; the Lord do so to me-
and more also, if aught but death
part ME and thee" The lover
idolized his sweetheart more than
ever when he received this pre-.
cious evidence Of her devotion to
him both in storm and sunshine.
We may add that fortune soon
again smiled upon the young
physician, and he subsequently re-
turned 10 the North to wed the
sweet girl he loved, and who loved
him with such undying affection.
Reader, this is all true. Young
ladies who read the Bible as close
ly as the heroine of this incident
seems 10 have done ere pretty
sure to make good sweethearts
and better wives.
