mining share market has been rather
quiet this week, though a fair demand
has existed, for a few prominent mines, at
rather better prices. On the whole, our
quotations are little better than nominal /;
but q more satisfactory state Of affairs is

A little innocent, curly head, nesting by her

Lisping prayers in voice so weak
Hands apalm and spirit meek
please God be good to me and ma, for pap

The mother nightly prays alone;
But how the son, with heart Of stone
Does he bend the knee as he seeks his bed?
Or dream Of that loved one with silv'ry head
"Not much" he'd say, " thatd be putting it

On Saturday afternoon and evening of last
week very pleasant party Of surprisers ap-
peared at the residence of James Myers, in Wa
verify, rather unexpectedly. The many friends
OF Miss May had taken this method OF celebrat-
ing her birthday, and appeared with baskets OF
eatables and plenty of good cheer. A very en-
joyable time was had, some presents were Civ
en-, an d Mrs. Barton read poem. composed for
the occasion, which we give below. The wee
sma' hours" had arrived ere the party wended
their way homeward, filed with enjoyment and
good will.

COMPOSED By II. Z. v.
Though the hopes we have cherished
Are faded and gone,
Yet my love for thee, dearest,
Shall ever live on;
And should dark clouds of sorrow
Be against us arrayed,
Let Us hope on, hope ever,
And not be dismayed.
But while you have gone far away,
No one knows where you may be,
Oh, remember that little song,
That some one is waiting for thee.
But, julie, no one knows how your mother
must feel,
And al Of your friends abroad,
For you have taken that awful place
On that most dangerous railroad;
But we all hope that your life will be spared,
SO that YOU can again return 10 be
With all of those dear ones ever more;
And to hear that some one is waiting 10
thee.
oh, we know that you were your fathers pet
And your mothers pride and joy;
So now, julie, please remember these words
Keep good hours tonight, my boy.

To Nay. on Her BirthddB.

Ills custom to honor birthdays, and so, as a
matter OF course,
As time brings about the occasion we joyfully
honor yours
Bringing our gratulations, making gala day,
OF even this March like evening that claims the
name of MAY.
Let me show you fancy picture that hangs on
memory's wall;
III only brighten its colors-t's faded little,
that's all;
IT'S key to this merry greeting, for I candidly
venture to say
Had the picture never been painted we had not
been here to-day.
Father, mother; and laughing boy, in the golden
light see,
Bend ever the baby that looks and smiles on
the loving group of three,
And a coronet OF kisses was woven that glad
some day,
AS iather, mother and brother crowned the baby
Queen OF May.
Days passed: the dimples deepened, cheeks
blossomed with the flowers.
And the father whispered proudly: Never a
girl like ours"
" Such baby as this, aud ndmeless! Why, this
will never do
The loving mother murmured, as she looked Ill
the eyes OF blue.
So they held a consultation, and the question
before the house
Was What shal We name the baby 20 lately
given to us
Shall we call her Pearl, or Daisy or Lille, or
Maud, or Fay"
But the zephyrs gently whispered: " Why, call
the baby May
So we gather here to greet thee, the old friends
and the rew,
We bring no laurel chaplet, that will fade as
laurels do,
But with the wreath OF tenderness that loved
ones wove that day,
We come, with loves own laureIs, to crown the
maiden May.
We bring not empty and-cIasps, but clasps of
gold we bear,
That shall be to you a symbol, shining at the
chain you wear,
OF a friendship pure and sacred, and may com :
ing years but prove
Earth holds still heavens sacred treasure-lInks
of kindness clasped with love.
May those Inks forever glitter may that clasp
be heavens own gold,
Shining still thro' storm and Sunshine, never
growing dim or old;
And the wish or each we'll -wisher, and the pray
ers o. those who pray,
Sball be for the Fathers blessing to ever rest
on MAY.
Savior thy tender blessing we crave for her to-
day:
S,ll let thy loving sunshine g'eam on her on
ward way;
And with LIES last Ink severed, and iite's last
greeting given,
Nav we meet her, may we greet her, among
thine own, in Heaven.

Referring to lis; Of occupations recently
published in the Free Press that are suitable
for women, correspondent writes to add an
other. This is taxidermy. The correspondent
thinks that the deft fingers Of women are par
ticulsrly adapted for the delicate and artistic
work Of stufiing and posing BIRDS. This Is
quite evident. Women have long been noted
for their dexterity in this respect What would

How To Become Rich.

Burlington Hawkeye.
You can probably be rich, mS son, if you will
be. If you make up your mind now that you
will be rich man, and stick to it, there is very
little doubt that you will be very wealthy, tol-
erably mean, loved little, hated great deal,
have big funeral, be blessed by the relatives
to whom you leave the most, reviled by those
to whom you leave less, and villified by those
to whom you leave nothing But you must
pay for it, my son. Wealth is an expensive
thing. 1t costs all it is worth, Ii you want to
a million dollars to get it. Broken friendships,
intellectual starvation, loss of social enjoy
ment, deprivation of generous impulses, the
smothering of manly aspirations, limited
wardrobe and a scanty table, lonely home be-
cause you fear lovely wife and beautiful
home would be expensive; hatred of the
heather, a dread of the contribution box,
haunting fear of the Woman's Aid Society,
fretful dislike of poor people because they
won't keep their misery out of your sight, lit
tie sham benevolence that is worse than none:
oh, you can be rich, young man, if you are
willing to pay the price. Any man can get
rich who doesn't think it is too expensive
True, you may be rich and be a man among
men, noble and Christian and grand and true,
serving God and blessing humanity but that
will be in spite of your wealth and not because
OF it. 1t will be because you always we're that
kind Of a man. But if you want to be rich
merely to be rich, if that is the breadth and
height of your ambition, you can be rich if you
will pay the price. And when you are rich,
son, call around at this office and pay for this
advice. We will let the interest compound
from this date

A CURIOUS bill has been introduced into

State a controversy between two organized
bodies, each claiming to be the Legislature.
and such controversy cannot be determined
by the lawfully constituted authorities of
such State without resort to military force,
he shall communicate the fact of such con-
troversy to the Senate, which shall determine
which, if either, of the two bodies is the Leg
islature. The President shall recognize and
maintain by every means in his power the
one declared to be the true one; or, in the
event that the Senate shall determine that
neither is entitled to be considered the elected
