THROUGH THE SNOW.

The cutter stopped before the gaze,
Out spraDg her highness lightly;
Half coy, half cool, this c. uel Kate,
And altogether slightly. III
In mock distress exclaimed she: "Ohl
How far we must have ridden!
For under this fast falling snow
The walks entirely hiddenl"
Entirely hidden it was, and more,
For, as the catch lifted,
Six inches deep from gate to door
/ saw the snow had drifted.
"Ugh!i' shuddered she. "You lead the way
Was her command next spoi.Sh.
To- hear at once was to obey,
And through the snow unbroken
stslked with steady, ample feet
With lifted skirts she followed,
Daintlly stopping, while her neat
ot-prints in mine were swallowed.
Back to her mirthful, puzzling face
looked across my shoulder,
Aud wondered ifshe'd smile with grace
On me should grow boldcr.
"Why may not you and l." | said,
"Through all life thus walk together9
I'd break the way with happy tread
Through all life's snowy weather.
She did not answer me word
But one sweet glance permitted;
d then before me like bird,
into the house she fitted.
And TIN ough the snow and from the gloom
Her fairy foot prints drew me
Iuto the cheerful, cozy room,
Where loYe surrendered to me.
Ahl in our welded life since then
Snow storms have broken DER me,
But always into light again.
'Tis she has walked before me.

1t is said of Mr.. Cowles, of the Cleve-
land Leader, thrt he has never heard
the sound of bird, and that until he
grew to manhood he had always thought
the music of the bird was a poetical
fiction. "You may fill room with
canary Birds" said Mr.. Cowles, 'and
they may all sing at once and never
would hear note, but I would hear
the fltterings of their wings. never
hear the Kissing in the human voice,
consequently, not knowing of the exist
ence of that sound, l grew up to man
hood without ever making it in my
speech. A portion of the consonants l
never hear, yet can hear all the vowels.
About quarter of the the sounds in the
human voice 1 never hear, and I have
to watch the motion of the lips and be
governed by the sense of the remarks in
order to understand what is said to
me. l have walked by the side of po-
liceman going home at night and seen
him blow his whistle, and never would
hear it, although it could be heard by
others half a mile away, / never heard
the upper notes of a piano, violin or 9TH
er musical instrument, although would
hear all the lower notes -

The Rise and Progress of Mexico.

The rise of progress in Mexico within
the past few months is unparalleled in
the hiItory of civilization. A year ago
the country seemed to be without pros
pect or ambition of advancement. To-
day it is vocal with the hum of industry
and eloquent with indications of i'm
provement upon a grand and striking
scale. Railroads are springing up.
Eight thousand men are working on one
road to run north from the City of
Mexico to the Rio Grande. Seven
thousand men are working on another
which is to run northwest to meet the
Southern Pacific. Other thousands are
clearing the pathway, telling forests
and bridging torrents for railway from
the capital to the Pacific ocean. Smaller
roads are reaching out into the mining
districts, the rich agricultural fields of
San Luis PoLosi, the magnificent dome
of Yucatan. In all, more than thirty
thousand men are at this moment toll
ing at the structure of Mexico's COM
mercial greatness, and the iron bands
which are to unite the two republics are
being forged while we eat and sleep.
Almost before we realize it, Mexico
will be in fact our next door neighbor.
We shall have two or three direct COM
munications by rail, half a dozen steam
ship lines, daily mail and constant So
cial and commercial -intercourse--and
all this with county which, up to this
moment has been more OF a stranger to
US than Italy or Switzerland. People
discover that the upper classes at the
capital are refined, cultured and pol
ished; that their life is one of elegance
and luxury; that their homes are
charming, graceful and pure. To find
that tile MexicanS are anxious to place
their country in the march of progress,
to encourage the Introduction of capital
and to promote domieiliation of the
peaceful arts and sciences. And thus,
with start, as it were, our capitalists,
our business men, our spectators, have
awakened to the importance of Mexico
in the grand economical problem of the
generation. New Orleans Dem ocrat

GIRLS WON'T DO TO TRUST.

The girls know are pretty,
And sweet as sweet can be;

.Sey. aren't you just like mel
They make us charming sweethearts,
But yet affirm I must,
That pin 'em down to business,
The girls won't do to trust.
They'll do. to make an evening
Pass pleasantly and swift
The shadows must be heavy
Their laughter can not lift;
They'll do to ospend your money
And think its but just;
They'll do to love and look at,
But girls won't do to trust.
1 own they are much nicer
Than ngly, "horrid men''-
They do not chew tobacco,
Nor smoke, nor swear like them.
They do not drink cheap whisky,
They don't get on "bust,"
But still you've got TO watch 'em
For girls won't do to trust.
Your sweetheart says she loves you
Aye, swears that she adores,
She writes you tender letters,
And signs them, "only yours"
That you compare with others
As diamond ranks with dust
Just what she tells your rival,
For girls won't do to trust.
And now perhaps you wonder,
And ask me in surprise,
How one so young as am
Should be so wondrous wisea
Well, we'll, hate to tell you,
But then s'pose l must
found out by experience,
That girls won't do to trust.

The republicans who are trying to
swallow Malone, with all his repudia-
ton idiosyncracies, try to sweeten the
pill by loudly proclaiming that the
little Virginia renegade was not elected
as a democrat and was not democrat
in any sense. Here is what the Rich
mond Whig, his own organ, said of him
nearly year after his election to the
senate: "He is no republican. There
is no funder in Virginia who has fought
the republican party with half the vigor
and effect with which General Malone
has there is no conservative in Virgin
ia who has done more to save the state
from radical rule; and there is no DEM
crat within our borders whose long re-
cord of brilliant service for democracy
so elevates him above all suspicion.
