TWO ROSES.

o brilliant, blooming. bright-red rose.
Whose scented odor hayenward goes,
love thy beauty, color, size,
Thou sweetest flower beneath the skies!
But greater far than love thee,
love the love who gayst to me.
Though she with thee might well commune
As thou with her couldst TRULY vie,
Thou hast a richness in thy bloom,
And she has beauty in her eye;
Her look inspires eternal bliss;
Thine breathes forth natures loneliness.
Thou art q rose, and so Is she.
Each blossoms in the bright to-day.
Pure as thou art may her life be,
Until Ii sheds its parting ray!
Fen as at night thy portals close,
So shall her eyelids lind repose.

Richmond (Td) Religious Herald
The widow of a Baptist deacon who
died fonr years ago said to us few
days ago as We sat in her parlor: "The
great mistake of my husbands life was
leaving 100000 to his children. My
oldest son had not been in possession of
his portion six months before he had
acquired Incorporate habits, and to-day,
wrecked in health and morals, he
hasn't dollar left of the thousands his
father left him. My daughter married
an immoral man, who has spent her
portion, and now her life is sad and
dreary. 1t would have been thousand
times better had my husband devoted
his means more largely to education
and Christianity"

1t is q noticeable fact that a large
majority of the births this year in the
West have been girls. Our girls are of
a superior quality, and are in demand.
The West believes in regulating the
supply by the demand. We can raise a
good crop of a nything; but there is
nothing the great West takes Orepride
in than its crop of blooming, healthful,

A Land Agents Story.

A pretty good story is told about Land
Agent Miner, of the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad. who one. day had a
party OF Eastern farmers in tow, trying
to sell each of them a farm in the rich
Arkansas Valley. Mlner had taken
them into his light wagon, and behind
his spanking team of bays had given
them grand ride, lasting all day. He
had done his best to make them enthu-
siastic by rehearsing the stories, which
he had at tongues end, of the marvel
ous crops of the valley, but to all intents
it was loves labor lost.'' for they
would not 'thuse. This annoyed Mil
ner, but he had his revenge in his reply
to; one of the party, who, with sarlODic
smile. asked: s-'ai

gold in NeW Fork City. He did not state any
thing new; he did not state ANYTHING that ev-
erybody else did not know as well. 1t is an
actual fact that this is true, and one of the
troubles of this country to-day is that the
gold of the country is required to be used
a currency, and costs more than the
profit on the business which is done
by it. The Merchants Bank of st.
Louis, for illustration, will submit to
of the lack of currency, rather than pay the
cost OF expressage on gold from St Louis, in

that they want; it is the check that
they want; it is the draft that they want;
il is the shortcut TO all kinds of business; it is
the cheapest and most economical means of
transactlng business that the people of the
country are constantly aiming at and neither
gold silcer performs that office, and they do
not want either as currency.
At the time when the Secretary of the Treas

things prevailed. I do not blame him for the
great caution he observed. Men publicly
offered $4,000 TO be the first in that line which
would besiege the Treasury for the gold dollar
which he was accumuiating; and so much was
said about the fiinpossibility of resumption,
more than was necessary. in order to establish,
beyond controversy, the impossibilty of break
