THE Celestial. Snow q

sight was grandly beautiful, paid for the
early rising and the loss of the morning
nap. Knowing that editors like Gree
shows, they banged at our doors and win
dows to waken US, but, as we do our heavy
snoring about that time, they failed in
rousing US, and while we were sleeping
the sleep of the just, the procession NOV
ed on. Sorry.
We had a regular '*plcnic" at four
o'clock Tuesday morning and took the
whole family. The toilets were fine, and
the comet was on hand as billed.
A line from Miss Jean Sherw God,
post-marked Boston, says she is drinking
in any amount of high new England air,
and pure culture in that famous old city.
That she has strolled over Boston COM
mon, and stood on Dorchester Heights.
has looked upon the Harbor with its
beautiful islands, and wandered about
Harvards classic walls, visited the resi-
dence of Longfellow, and gazed until
wearied in Art Museums Oct. nth, she
witnessed the grand Military display in
honor of President Arthur, of over 5000
troops. We think letter for the TRAN
SCRIPT from Miss Sherwood, would be of
interest to her pupils and many friends
in this city.
Bro. Emery of the Pennington Press,
has taken to writing poetry, and, as it is
pretty good, and expresses our sentiments
exactly, we make room for part of it:
Why do cards and letters invite
The editor out the very night
Most inconvenient to be away
The eve of Publication Day?
Why do people, with items of note,
Or other matters they wish to quote,
All such communications delay,
Alas! till Publication Day?
Why do those, who have bills to collect,
Boldly come in, and payment expect,
Forgetting. there's the de0il to pay
And that's enough, Publication Day.
e. Schleuder has returned from the
East with an unusually large stock of
jewelry, watches, clocks, silver ware, sc,
and new goods are still arriving. You
will find in his stock the latest styles,
and every improvement worth anything
that these modern times develop. Every
department is full to overlooking. and
all goods marked down. Schleuder
makes a specially Of keeping every line
full, and everybody is invited to call and
look over this elegant display of goods
for themselves. His showcases and
shelves glitter with table decorations,
also articles of adornment and useful
ness, and time would fail US to enumerate
them all. So take our advice and look
them over, and you cannot fail to be
more than repaid.
Get up, sleepy heads, and see Cruls
comet. 1t is now only one hundred and
forty millions of miles from the earth and
eighty millions from the sun, and it will
take this monster only about eight years
and half to travel once around the sun.
1t is now travelling tail first and is said to
be really in very bad way. 1t rushes
forward, whirls around, plunges through
the fiery outer atmosphere of the sun,
and then hurled forth again, clashing
and crashing with tremendous smoke and
flame and fury, held together in the leash
of gravitation, and unable to burst the
bonds that holds it. The performance
begins at half past four, as the comet is
not very early riser. Astronomers tell
us this comet will appear to us again next
wear at this time
The Knights Templar of San Fran
cisco are exerting themselves to the ut
most to render their visitors on the oc
casion of the triennial conclave OF the
Grand Encampment of the United States
as comfortable as possible. The various
committees are already at work perfect
ing the work assigned to them. and every
precaution is being taken that there be
no crowding in the places of entertain
ment or over-exertion. r. H. Goodman,
General Passenger and Ticket Agent of
the Central Pacific Road, states that the
round trip. going and returning over the
same road, will cost SIS from Omaha or
Kansas City via Ogden or Deming, and
$50 from St. Louis and Memphis, via Ell
Paso, $780, 1t is thought the round trip
will not cost over 800 from this city. To
return by another route will require the
payment of an additional 1926. The
above rates are also made applicable to
the lady relatives of the Knights.-Chi-
cago Inter Ocean.
AS we all expect to 60, it is rather COM
forting to know they are already making
arrangements for and anticipating our
visit.
"A large and merry company of in
vited guests assembled at the residence
of Judge D. B. Johnson, on Lansing
Avenue, Wednesday evening of last week,
to assist in celebrating the Both ami
versary of their wedding day. The re-
ception was the first given by Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson in their new home, and the
entertainment was all that good taste
and generous hospitality could provide.
There were many elegant and useful
presents brought by loving friends that
will be only the more highly valued as
the years pass on. This anniversary will
long be remembered by those privileged
with being present.

Without, storm is gathering
The night is wild and drear;
Within, is bloom and brightness,
Gay talk, and festal cheer.
Without, the chill of Autumn
Within, the Summers glow,
Where we meet, the bride and groom to greet
OF thirty years ago,
| Through every night of sorrow,
Through every darkened day,
The light upon your hearthstoDe,
Hath shed it's cheering ray.
And with deeper, dearer, meaning.
| Than untried hearts can know,
Afresh. tonight, the VOWS you plight,
| OF thirty years ego.
So lightly Time hath touched you,
| We scarce it's impress trace;
Perchance, q ripper manhood
An added matron grace.
But many q voice is silent, -.
And many head lies low
You miss them here-the near and dear.
OF thirty years ago.
So linked is grief with gladness!
