THE PRETTY TOLL-G17E KEEPER.

Down valley fresh and fragrant, where a
lake of silver sheen
Lies embosomed in broad meadows of the
deepest, purest green,
tower and spire,
plain and neat attire.
Many travellers go there daily-some to talk
and some to trade,
some with baskets, some with wagons-man
D.. and woman, boy and maid:
But whoever makes the journey is compelled,
each time, to wait
Long enough to drop some pennies at the
x tolman's rustic gate.
She who takes them is his daughter; sixteen
years, heard her say,
Is hef age; and she salutes me in so beautiui
away.
With her pretty face in smiles. and her soft
On her shoulders, that / think of her the
whole long way to town.

of the week,
And the reason why go there is not very far

Imight take a shorter byway. and see just
as fair land
But I'd miss the tender softness of her white
and pearly hand!
am never in n hurry if she makes me stand
While linyer, half a dozen may have saun-
tered through the gate;
But when my fee and fingers touch her fingers
well outspread,
What a sharp electric tremor tingles through
my heart and head,
Yesterday I paused much longer than was
needful to pay toll;
One by one dropped the pennies from my
fingers slow control;
One by one saw the bushes flame across her
dimpled cheek;
And, amidst the sweet confusion, L aroused
my heart to speak.
1t just a simple question-four short
words and nothing more
Yet n volume of intention filled the utterance
they bore:
Had argued round n circle 1 might still be
there to day:
So put the matter frankly in the good old
fashioned way.
Then her face grew sweet and sober, and her
blue eyes seemed so meek,
That j caught ut once the meaning which her
lips were moved to speak.
Let the busy gOSSipS chatter-I am willing
they should prate-
For I'll now pay toll with kisses when reach

"A gentleman in Ridgewood, N. j.,
witnessed an unusual spectacle recently
The sun was just rising in clear sky,
while in the west heavy banks of black
clouds were floating, pierced by the
brightest hues of a spring rainbow.
They were so interlocked that they pre-
sented magnificent scene. On one
side of the house a heavy shower of rain
was falling, while on the other side there
was not moisture enough to wet the

An Emperor's Uniform.

The Emperor Williams uniforms
comprise one of each of the regiments of
the guards and ofthe body regiments one
each of Baden, Bavaria, Saxony, Wur-
temberg. four Russian uniforms, and one
EACH of his Austrian regiments of the
line and hussars. The civilian suits are
elegant and dark, although light pair
of trousers is now and then tolerated.
The regular head coyeringis the high silk
hat. The hunting suits are rarely re-
newed, on the principle, probably, that
the older the better. Perhaps the most
remarkable piece is the emperor's brown
ish gray Havelock which he wears in the
spring and fall in his drives, and with
which, though twenty years old, he is
not wiling to part. All his uniforms
and suits were made by a member of the
same family, whose predecessors pre-
sented the young Prince William with
the first uniform. Numerous as the con-
tents of the wardrobe are and have been,
it has never held dressing gown.

A Good Thing for the jurors.
From the Arizona Star. ]

Tom Fitch is a man of infinite resour-
ces. Over in Cochise County they tell an
anecdote about him which possesses a
peculiar interest. When his tax suit
against the Southern Pacific railroad
was up, Tom stoutly advised the indict-
ment of Croker for alleged perjury.
The ground taken for the Indictment
was Crocker's affidavit that the railroad
property in Cochise County was only
worth $4,000 mile.
"But," urged the foreman of the
grand jury, whats the asef of
it We can never convict him."
''But we can indict him and bring him
here for trial" protested Mr.. Fitch
"But he'll get clear, replied the fore
man; "what can you accomplish by it?"
Tom looked the foreman s4uarely In
the face, and hitching his chair little
closer to the listening jury, he replied
confdentially. "We'll make twelve
men in Cochise County comfortable for
life. ="
That settled It.

Artemas Ward in a Boarding School.

oscar T. Hewitt, in Providence Press.l
The following morning was as rare aid
sunny as was ARENAS himself. He could
not resist an invitation to visit the
So Young Ladies' High School," While
walking to the academy street runsa-
way occurred. A terrified horse went
tearing over the pavement with what
Artemas called " the fore quarters " of a
wagon gathering at its heels. This in
cident ARENAS ingeniously utilized in
his address. The vehicular elopemept
which has just taken place, young ladies
has furnished us with timely topic of
discourse. Young ladies seminaries are
ever exposed to runaways. Once when
travelling with my show, came upon 8
female institute. There were ladders,
and lads, too, as to that at every window.
Manly perpendiculars carrying fainting
hoflzontals to the ground. Firei |
shouted None of that, replied SOL
emn voice from the orchard. There
amt no fire; these are only young fell
lows running off with their sweathearts. ,
There ls a moral entertainment for man
and beast IN this runaway. No horse,
If attached to wagon, that is IT sincere
~ attached to it, will run away with it,
but the morea young manis attached to a
young woman the more he will'run away
with her, leaving no traces, in fact none
of the harness behind. Young ladies,
since have stood before your beautiful
faces I have lost something, and if you
or the boy that sweeps out should find 3
red object, looking ike corral breast
pin that has been stepped on, you may
know it is my poor, busted heart, "

"And will you?" replied Mr.. Dubious,
drawing out his watch. "Come-I am
anxious to see it tried" He laid his
watch on the great anvil plate. The ham
mer rose to its full height, and the next
instant all it's ponderous weight, with a
crushing force that shook the ground for
an acre round, came down on the watch.
"There sir" said the Zimmerman
quietly, eff you don't believe that the
crystal is broken, just stoop down and
you can see it sticking to the hammer. :"
Mr.. Dubious swallowed whole pro-
cession of Jumps and gasps before he

exclaimed, "that it was to break the

MY MOTHER.

Oh for the golden daysl
Those were the golden days
Days that have fed.
OF for the mother love
Earth has no other love
Worn in its stead.
Still, as it seems to me,
Comes she in dreams to me,
And her soft hands
Comb my fair hair for me,
With tender care for me
Fashion its strands.
Is love pain to me?
Friendship is vain to me?
Barren LIES way?
Sorrow she shares with me,
Whispers at prayers with me,
God bless my child I"
Sings like the birds to me,
Speaks loving words to me,
Covers my bed;
o. / have need for her!
My heart doth plead for her
Mother is dead
What are life's thorns to her ?
Life's sunless morns to herr
Moons that must wane?
Spring has no breath for her,
Autumn no death for her,
Lights are in vain.
What are my prayers to her?
Cumbersome cares to her?
She is at rest;
Roses bloom over her,
Snow blossoms cover her,
Earth on her breast.
Down through the dreary years,
Hears she my cry?
Are her hands holding me?
And her arms folding me?
Is she still nigh?
Sees she my yearning tears?
Pitiful, burning tears
From heavens height
Comes she to talk with me,
Stealthily walk with me,
Morning and night.
All as it seems to me,
These are not dreams TO me;
Still thou art here.
Walking beside me,
Whatever beride me,
Mother most dear.
When life's goodnight" to me,
Heralds new fight to me,
In the unknown,
Unending bliss for me,
Shall be thy kiss for me,
Mother, my own!

Utah Commission have appointed their

charge OF counties. The commissioners ap-

brethren as much as possible, and the opin-

weight. They also so far rule out all points
which would involve any radica, change,
and apparently wish to permit everything
to go on as far in the old way as poss'b be.
Under the present arrangements there will
undoubtedly much fraud at the elections,
