WHAT THE CIRCUS DID.

We were u quiet and sober set,
Little accustomed to noise and fret,
Decent and modest at work or play,
And OH 50 proper in every way,
Before We went to the circus
Nobody had ever seen us 20
At all too fast, or AZ all too slow;
No matter how gayly we talked or sang.
We never had used word Of slang
Before we went to the circus.
We went 10 church. or we went to school,
By the very mot orthodox kind Of rule;
For We we're a people of Dutch descent,
And rather phlegma;ic OF temperament
Until we went to the circus.
Alas and alas, lis woful sight.
The way We are changed at the time write
Father Is swaying against the breeze,
Hung BIZ the toes from high trapeze,
Trying TO copy the circus
The boys on their heads. with feet in air.
Are riding wild horses on each high chair;
Or down on their backs on the sidewalk brieA
Are balancing tubs for a Juggling tri.'k
The girls have painted their hands and face,
And got themselves up for an Indian race,
As they saw them do at the circus
Mother high up on the table stands,
Swinging the baby with both her hands,
Swinging the baby with many rub,
And brandishing him like an Indian club
While baby himself, in a terrible fright,
Howls like a Zulu from morn till night,
Since we went to the circus
Alas and alasi / can only say,
I wish in the night, wish in the day,
/ wish With my heart, / wish with my head,
/ wish with my ears, which are nearly dead,
/ wish with a sort OF mute despair,
| wish with a shrek that would rend the air,
We never had gone to the circus

Nature Revealing Her Treasures.

A lofty mass of rock which threw
its shadows over Las Vegas, New Mexi-
co, half mile away, lately tumbled
into the valley. Five to fifteen tens of
rock were loosened from their founda-
ton, The mountain lowered five
thousand feet alb ove the Gallinus river
The most remarkable result of this vio-
lent change is found to be the disclos-
ing at the Joint of rupture, high on the
mountain side, Of an eight foot vein of
copper carbonates and sulphides. which
was promptly located by B. F. Martin
dale, and he is now holding his claim
with brace of forty-fours. Halfway
down the side of the mountain coal
bed was laid bare, which was also pre-
empted as soon as discovered.-San

ERuITs AND VEGETABLES.

Among scientific men who have made longevity
study, it is almost unanimously agreed that a
fruit and vegetable diet is conducive to long life
and perfect health And 1t is among the yege-
table kingdom that we find our principal means of
restoring health to the invalid and strength to the
weak In olden times, when eentenarians were
common, and men of so years were considered
youthful, herb doctors were the only physicians.
DR.. Guysott's Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla, with
the exception of ore ingredient and that is iron,
is strictly a vegetable compound and is not in
furious to the most delicate invalid. Its effect on
the general system is most wonderful. 1t gives
real strength to every part of the body, and its
system is most remarkable. Its principal ingre-
dents are Yellow Dock, Sarsaparia, Juniper,
Iron, Buchu, Celery, and Calisaya Bark Where
the disease is of an exhaustive nature, it quickly
checks all decay. In cases Of dyspepsia it does
not act as a severe cathartic, but gives real
strength to the digestive organs, and thus perma-
nently cures this distressful disease.

An Arkansas Romance.

Some time ago Miss Hampton, a
beautiful young lady, and wealthy
Young farmer named Rockton were
married The young lady would not
have been termed a "happy bride"
She had never loved Rockton, and only
married him to please widowed
mother, II will ooey YOU" said the
girl, "but do not even like Mr.. Rock
ton. He is wealthy, but while poverty
always brings misery, yet wealth does
not always bring happiness. You
know that am devoted to Tom Rose
mond, and that he is devoted to me;
but if you, as my mother, command
me, will obey, though the effort cost
me my life as well as my happiness"
The ceremony was performed. Rose
mond, who would have been the girls
choice, left the neighborhood. Six
months afterward Rosemond returned
and sent Mrs. Rockton a note, begging
an interview. She showed the note
and her answer of refusal to her hus-
band. He kissed her as a reward of
fidelity. Rockton was taken sick with
swamp fever, and when about to die he
said:
"You have been faithful wife.
Nine women out of ten would have
run away long ago. | have always
known that you loved Rosemond. L
have sent for him. want you to mar
nv him before l die so that | can see
the ceremony"
'That would not be legal" answered
the wife, 'for ] cannot marry another
man so long as you are living"
"Well, but want him here, so | can
see that the ceremony is performed
Immediately after / am dead"
Rosemond and preacher was sent
for. They arrived. Rockton gasped
and motioned. The marriage party
approached the bed. Rockton placed
the hands of the lovers together, gasped
and died. The preacher raised his
hand, and the lovers were married
