Morn and Eve.

Z Isce her at my cottage door,
A little child, with sweet blue eyes,
Where linger yet, like Mornings mist,
The look she brought from paradise.
And by her side an old man sits,
And dreams Of days long since gone by,
While overhead robin sings,
And sunset glories light the sky.
Along the paths her feet have tred,
ss Hopes fairest, brightest blossoms
.s spring,
She hears no mournful undertone,
But sweet and clear life's jOybell's ring.
She laughs to hear the Joyous song
The sweet-voiced robin gayly trill,
But he, with faded, wistful eyes,
Watches the sunset DER the hills.
And then, soft signing, whispers low,
= my day, like this, draws near its close,
And night comes slowly stealing on,
The night which brings me sweet re-
s. pose" Youths Companion.

An Appeal to Winter.

Cold weather, gel o frigid dallier, go
Too long you've fingered hereabout-
Too long, alasi too long; you're dreadful
slow!
Come, vamosel clear! get out!
Too long you've nipped our ears and
aching hands;
Too long you've pierced US through
and through;
Too long you've held US in your icy
bands
Oh, leave US quickly, dol
Too long we've watched the mercury in
- the glass.
- Too long we've lied about the thing;
Much have we all to answer for, alas!
Come, gol twill soon be springl
Do gol The ice man has his harvest
us made,
The coal men sure have made enough /;
With colds and rheum atiz you've thou
sands Stayed,
We've had quite Qttd'sttGna Suf.
Go now; there is a time, I'm certain
quite,
When you will be far welcomer,
Come when the days are hot, when skeet-
ers bite
Yes, come next summer.

POETRY.
where Tbere'sa win There's a Way.

Though troubles perplex you,
Dishearten and yex you,
Retarding your progress in sombre ar
ray;
To shrink with terror,
Issureiy an error,
For where there's will there's way.
The task may be teasing,
The duty unpleasing.
But he who cOnfronts it will soon WIN
the day.;
Half the battle is over
When once We discover
That where there's will there's a way.
Misfortunes uncounted
Are often surmounted,
II only we quit not the field In dismay I;
Then one more endeavor,
~ Remembering ever
That where there's will there's a way.

The Truth PAYS

A few weeks ago a train over one of
the railroads running West ran over
COW just beyOng the Grand Trunk June
ton. The matter was reported at head
quarters, but the owner of the mangled
bovine was not heard of until Tuesday
last, when he entered the President'e Of
fee and remarked:
Il guess we'd better settle up now for
that cOw?'
"Ah, you owned the COW killed by one
of our trains, did you?"
Il expect did"
"And what did you value her at ?"
The man scratched his head, hitched
around ON his chair, and finally replied !;
well, l dunno Ny brother-in-law
said had the company tighter'n blazes,
and he told me to say she was a new
milch COW, and lay damages at seventy
dollars"
"YeS.'
but my wife said that I'd better say
that the COW was not worth over fifty
dollars"
Yes. Well, how was it"
That's where the stick comes in, you
see. ! want all she was worth, and yet
l don't want to swindle anybody. Fact
is, she was an old COW, dry as bone,
and worth about fifteen dollars for
clearinghouse beef. Yet, she was took
away kinder sudden, and it made bad
muss around the place, and reckoned
you might add little extra"
LET US say twenty-five dollars"
That's plenty. l 'spose l might have
had fifty just as well as not, but l
didn't want to lie about it,
No; never tell 4 lie
"Oh, l wouldn't have lied, cause l
know you sent man out there to git all
the facts in the case," replied the man as
he received an order Oh the Treasurer
for his check.-(Detroit Free Press.

The GlObe-DemOcrata and the Reunion
or the Missouri Ex-COnfederates.


or the Missouri Ex-COnfederates.
To the Dallas Daily HERALD:
am not little amused at
your editorial on the few imprudeIt
things said and done at Dallas on
the 10th and llth. II has been mentioned to
me by more thsn twenty persons in attend
ance that no one need be sur
prised at the Misrepresentation, for the city
press of Dallas did bu! little to prevent tho
SANDER 1t hiss been observed by many that
we got our news about the reunion from st.
Louis. Galveston and Houston, and not from
Dallas.
The reports were meagre ia the
extreme. The action taken on the 1lth,
which declared the exact status Of the assoc
citation was barely stated, and none of the
patriot cremarks Of many who joined in
general condemnation Of the sentiments
uttered on the 10th were given to the pub.
lie. The loyal speeches of some of the best
men In Texas and Louisiana, found no dis
seminstion beyond the enthusiastic crowd
that listened, except through papers far
removed from the transaction. When
the resolution was offered condemnatory of
Lieut.. Grigsby's utterances, men expressed
themselves in temperate but positive express
sions Of regret. Those express
sions were loudly and unanimously
npplauded, and on the passage of the reaolu.
tion universal affirmation was given. Had
the speeches, the tone, the spirit Of the as
ISOLATION been mede public, the country
would have seen how sincere is the national
feeling; how the old love Of an Undivided
country flowers to full .fruitsge once more II
therefore, lack of enterprise has brought Oh,
US the condemnation of energetic, bat per-
haps mendacious journals, we must bear
our fault with becoming gravity. As to
Lieutenant Grigsby, am not sure he OK
pressed his real sentiments. Deep down in
his heart am led to believe, there was
better and purer feeling. Excited by the
meeting, cheered by the social facts of the
previous night and morning, no doubtless said
words shat under other circumstances no
would not have uttered. In tho days when
England was excited over rumors of in
vasions from France and of the restoration
of James Ii, many an old lover of royalty
and legitimacy, when heated over the wine
cup, gave ulterance TO sentiments which
were not the index Of true and sober feeling.
Amongst these imprudent takers were gem
erals, admirsls, captains, bronz.d, and SCARED
with service for their country, and il
was the pfeeminent wisdom Of William of
Orange, and of Mary his noble wife, to say
we must not hold men responsible in such
times for every hasty expression uttered
over the bottle. Permit me TO say, and with
this many others sgree, that a true and full
publication of the transactions of the associ,
alton and utterances of its members would
have been worth dozen editorials now set
up agsins! the virulence of the Globe. Dem.
ocrst. Yours &C.,
