Modified by Circumstances.

There is no doubt that the early riser
accomplishes more work than does his
less energetic neighbor for as the old
proverb has it, the morning hour has
gold in its mouth. Still it is one of
those things which by common consent
are set very high in the list OF desirable
virtues, and yet which are open to GER
tain doubts and objections. Early ris-
ing, unless preceded by early bedtime
and sound sleep, may be dnhealthful.
Delicate children should never be
wakened till they have fully had their
sleep out, and nature will then awaken
them. We do not underestimate the
pleasure and propriety of having the
family all seated at once at the break
fast table, but in many homes an elastic
breakfast hour would be boon. If one
or two people in the house, by reason of
engagements, must sally forth very
early, it is often better to let them have
their morning meal by themselves, while
others rise and breakfast later. Many
worn and ailing mother, whose sleep is
disturbed by the cares of her nursery,
owes it TO herself and TO her family to
take her morning nap, and to make up
the arrears of repose by late rising. No
one who regards his health will sit up
till midnight and rise at dawn. Over
work is slow suicide. 1t is better to rise
at eight O'Clock in the freshness of rem
ovated powers, than to rise at five,
jaded, aching, and half asleep, TO drag
YEARLY through the irst quarter of the
day, doing nothing well, and exasper-
ating ones friends by fretfulness and
fault finding. If you wish to indulgein
the luxury of early rising, go to bed
early, that your rest may be sufficient
for your strength.

dering with every hour if she could dare
take step in the matter.
And then, one day, the auctioneeI
who had sold the desk to Margaret War.
rener went to her and told her that q
gentleman who had just returned from
Europe desired to regain possession OF
the desk sold at Mr.. Dempsey's auction,
as it had been o gift to Mr.. Dempsey
from himself, on the eve Of his depart
ure abroad, five years before. And
Grace listened with dilating eyes and
throbbing heart, whose beats almost
choked her utterance.
"Tell the gentleman to call here and
he may have his property"
And that evening, when she went to
the door at the sound of the bell, and
opened it, with her face slightly paler
than usual, Laurie Marcellus stood
there.
"I expected you-come in," she said,
gently, while amazed and bewildered he
could only bow and obey.
Then she explained then he remem-
beled leaving the letter in the desk, and
understood how, by accident-nay, by
grim fate-the slant was not fastened
and the letter had slipped into its living
grave to be resurrected after all these
years.
81 do not know that / should tell
you even now," she said, bravely, "for

same or not. But" and she looked up
in his grand face, "I want you to know

He stepped up to her, quietly enough
for the minute.
"And noww
"I am Grace Warrener STILL"
And then he snatched her in his arms,
held her to his heart, kissed her sweet,
pale face.
81 never have once thought of another
woman, my darling. When no answer
came was crushed to the very earth,
and got myself away as well as could

And then Margaret came in, half an
hour afterward, in surprise that the gen.
tleman required so much time to make
p bargain for the desk.

Learn a Trade.

One of the many false notions which
the rapid increase of civilization in our
country has given rise to is the mistaken
idea, so prevalent among our boys and
young men, that to learn a trade is be-
meath the dignity of a gentleman. /
heard young man the other day ex-
pressing his views on the subject to an
elder. He was the son of dry goods
clerk in moderate circumstances, and
he had no means of accumulating wealth
other than by his own efforts. The
elder was one of Pittsburg's wealthiest
iron merchants /; man who had risen
to his present position from the anvil
of blacksmith, in the mill which he
now controls.
"Mr. Blank" said the young man, 81

sition as clerk in your Office"
"Well, Mr.. Smith" replied the mer-
chant, "I have no vacancies in my Office
at present, but can offer you situa-
tion as apprentice in our machine shop
if you wish to accept il"
The young mans nose was elevated q
tride as he replied in supercilious
tone:
''I would not feel that / was doing
myself justice in learning trade, as /
hope to make my way up the ladder by
mental abilities, rather than by physi-
cal exertions."
The merchant dismissed him without
further ado, and turning to me, said
"When will the average boy learn
that trade is worth more TO him than
all the clerkships in christendvm ?"
Returning home in the evening
pondered over his words. l was but a
clerk myself. Was his remark really
truep 1 looked around me; 1 had a
comfortable house, but the house which
/ occupied was rented one, and cost a
large percentage of my salary as rental
Thinking over some few of my old
friends, made the following memoir
andum: One of my schoolmates had,
on leaving school fifteen years before,
learned shoemaking. He now owns his
own home, besides being proprietor of
a shoe store in which another school
mate (who was too proud to learn q
trade) clerks at salary of $500 year.
My own employer and myself had
gone over our arithmetic and algebra

smarter of the two but he learned a
trade, and I am now his clerk, at sala-
ry which is small percentage of his
own earnings.
Boys, give up your false pride in this
matter. You are standing in your own
light. None of your acquaintances will
think less of you if you come home with
sooty hands and face from honest toll.
No one will think less of you for earn
ing your wages at the blacksmith's fire
or the carpenters bench than they
would were you clerk in bank, and
spent all your money on your clothes.
But, if you are determined to be clerk,
learn trade first, and learn it we'll, for
the time may come when you will need

Big Water on the Mississippi in 1874.

The following is taken from an article
on the "I1evees of the Mississippi" in
ScTibner: Life in the Mississippi swamp
is unique, but perhaps never so much
so as during that memorable summer.
The shallowest water, for indefinite
miles in any direction, was two feet
deep, the nearest land. the "Hills of
the Arkansaw," thirty miles away. The
mules were quartered on the upper
floor of the Clubhouse; the cattle had
been all drowned. long ago; planter,
negroes and overseer were confined in
their respective domiciles; the grist-
mill was under water, and there was no
meal Of preparing corn for culinary
purposes except q wooden hominy-
mortar. The hog-an1-hominy diet ESQ
highly extolled by some people who
have never lived on it) was adopted of
necessity, the former being represented
by mess pork, salter than tongue can
tell. There were no visitors, except
now and then q sociable snake, which
no doubt bored by swimming around
indefinitely in the overflow, and craving
even human companionship, would
glide up on the gallery CT some of the
houses. There was no means of loco
motion except the skiff and the humble
but ever-serviceable dug-out-nowbere
to go and nobody within days jour
ney otherwise or more comfortably sit
uated. The only sense of sympathy
from without was had from remote and
infrequent glimpses of the gallant
steamer J. M. White, which, leaping
from point to point, made better time
from New Orleans to ST. Lon's than was
ever made before or many years after.
That year nineteen plantations out OF
twenty failed to produces single pound
of cotton or a single bushel of corn, and
when the food was over and the swamp
Noahs came out of their respective
arks, they were, to say the least, NAL
content. They we're not ruined, of
course, but they had lost whole years
gross income. Moreover, the prestige
of the swamp as a cotton country was
wofully diminished. The planters in
the "hills," as the uplands are de-
nominated, began to hold up their
heads, no longer overcrowded by the ex-
traordinary crops alleged to have been
heretofore produced in the swamp.
The swamp planters set to work to
redeem the disaster, and to provide, as
far as possible, against its recurrence.
With the purpose of retrieving their
financial fortunes they took some unique
measures. There is tradition that, at
public meeting held in Greenville,
Miss, in October, 1874, among other
more commonplace resolutions, one YVES

any debt, great or small, upon any
planter who had been overhowed that

and coffee. The code was certainly
curious institution, but probably this
is the only instance in which it was ex-
pected to 10 duty as a stay-law.

POLICE COURT.

Yesterday morning was a kind of "ficld
morning. at the Police Court ROOM. John
Doe and Richard Roe, two respectable quartz
haulers, were arraigned before Judge Wilcox,
charged with breaking the peace and damag-
ing the dignity of Butte. The defendants had
got into a dispute, which led to a fight, the
evening before on Montana street. Both de-
PENDANTS plead guilty to a violation of the
law, and the court inflicted a fine and tie
costs.
VIM. F. Murray, for using bad and indie
cent language, and assaulting a policeman, was
up. William pleaded guilty. His Honor
looking over his specs with a benign twinkle
in his eye, remarked that inasmucll as Will
liam wasn't a bad sort of man and as this
was his maiden offence, he would let him off
lightly, and a merciful IS, with costs, satisfied
the law.

OBITUARY..

1t is with pain We announce the death of
Mrs. Mamie Bynum Bayliss, which occurred
yesterday morning at the residence Of her
father, Judge Bynum of this city. Mrs Bay
liss was a lady of more than ordinary intel
lectual attachments and had by her aniable
disposition endeared herself to a large circle
of acqualntences throughout the Territory.
Mrs. Bayliss was educated at Howard Col
lege, Howard county, Missouri, and graduated
with distinguished honors. She came to the
Territory i'll 1870, and taught school at Dia-
City, in Meagher county Park City,
in Lewis and Clarke county, and in the
Graded school at Helena. At each place she
made an enviable record as a painstaking and
thoroughly accomplished teacher. But her
falling health compelled her to abandon her
chosen profession, which, by education and
nature. she so highly adorned, and to the re-
greet of the principal and the sorrow of her
loving charge, she resigned her position.
Thinking that a change of climate would
benefit, if not cure her, she went to Califor-
mia last fall. But the insiduous disease
consumption-had taken too firm a hold upon
her fragile frame, and the change fastened
rather than retarded the approach of death.
Acting under the advice of her physicians,
she returned to the home of her parents at
Butte. Here, surrounded by those who were
nearest and dearest TO her On earth, and re-
ceiving every care at the hands of her parents
that love could suggest, she peacefully passed
away. No murmur of complaint or regret at
leaving the world passed the lips of the low
ing daughter and mother save her expressions
of anxiety for her darling little boy. To the
grief stricken parents, brothers and sister the
heartfelt sympathy of the community is ex,
tended.

The Death of Col. L. M. Black.

The death, quite suddenly, of Col. Lean
der NJ. BLACK, at Helena, was announced by
telegraph two days ago. Tie Helena papers
say that on last Friday and Saturday he was
seen on the streets of that city, in his usual
good health and genial spirits, conversing
freely with all acquaintance with whom he
came in contact. Last Saturday night he
complained of a bilious attack, and getting
worse he requested early Sunday morning
that a physician be summoned. DR.. Billiard
was called and Immediately repaired to the
sick mans room at the International hotel.
The patient, who was found seriously ill,
suffering greatly from pain which took the
form of acute peritonitis, was prescribed for
and relieved. For the remainder of the night
and Sunday Mr.. Blacks condition was not
considered serious. On Monday morning
the patient was much worse, and DR.. Steele
was called for consultation. The sick man
was past medical assistance, and At the hour
of 10 o'clock a. III. of that day, in an uncon-
cious state. he passed quietly and painlessly
to his long account. Mr.. Black was an old
resident of the Territory, and for years was
actively engaged in freighting, contracting,
merchandising and mining enterprises.

On the 14th John W. Gonu died suddenly
in the May Lille mine at Bald Mountain.
At first it was reported that Gonu met his
death from a cave in the mine. The hide
pendent of the 10th says that Coroner Steele
held an inquest on the body on the 18th and
the jury found that the deceased came to his
death from causes unknown. The Independ-
ent adds: ave understand that the exam
ination made favored the theory that Mr..
Gonu was suddenly overcome by illness and
that his death was not the result of a cave in

RIVER RIPPLINGS.

From the Benton River Press, 18th.
The Missouri river is falling rapidly.
This is the Butte's first visit to Benton the
present season.
The Black Hills is now at Bismarck load
ing for Benton.
The steamer Helena left Bismarck several
days since and will probably reach Benton
next Wednesday.
The charges on freight up the river have
taken a jump of 40 cents on the hundred
since the 10th inst.
The Butte leaves this afternoon on her re-
turn trip. She carries considerable freight
and a goodly number of cabin passengers.
The steamer Benton is expected to reach
Benton on Friday. She is heavily loaded and
carries a large list of cabin passengers.
The Red Cloud was at the Coal Banks yes
terday and is due here now. Fears are enter
tanned that she is on a bar or has sustained
some injury.
1t is estimated by gentlemen who ought to
know that as much as a thousand tons of
freight will lay over at Bismarck this winter
for want of transportation facilities. This is
a bad state of affairs for Montana.
