under the dismantled maypole before
the village green. He saw the man who
was to die at sunset standing up in the
dusky air, tall as King and as beauti-
full as Absalom. He gazed with knitted
brow and angry eye; but his lips did
not give utterance to the quick COM
mand that trembled on them, for girl
came flying toward him. Pikeman and
archer stepped aside to let her pass.
She threw herself upon the turf at his
horses feet; she lifted her bleeding
and tortured hands to his gaze, and
once more poured out her prayer for
the life Of her lover; with trembling
lips she told him why Richard still
lived-why the curfew had not sounded.
Lady Maud, looking out of her lat
ticed window at the castle, saw the
great Protector dismount, lift the faint
ing form in his arms and bear her to
her lover. She saw the guards release
the prisoner, and she heard the shouts
Of Joy at his deliverance; then she well
coined the night that shut ont the scene
from her enyious eye and sepultured
her in its gloom.
At the next matin bell old Jasper
died, and at the curfew toll he was laid
beside the wife who had died in his
youth, but the memory of whom had
been with him always.

DIDN'T LIKE THE sEcuRrrY.

Several years ago one of the most
prominent cattle men in Wyoming, who
can to-day easily command $1,000,00O
for cattle trade without impairing his
business, went to Boston to negotiate
loan with Massachusetts capitalists. He
met an old man who knew more about
cent. per cent. than he did about Wyom-
ing and Colorado cattle, and began to
talk business. He said that he was
making large profits on his present in
vestments, and therefore he wanted to
put more capital into the business, very
naturally, to increase his income. Mr..
Moneybags asked what security would
be given. 81 would secure the loan by
mortgage on my herd, sir" where

OUR DAKOTA LETTER.

WAHPEToN, Il. t., Nov. %, 1882. !.
EDITOR JoURNAL;-I have deferred my
semi-occasional letter in order to write
Understandings in regard to some
things that are often overlooked or
exaggerated. Much has been said and
written about Dakota and its resources
in general, which is true of many To-
calities but far from the truth when
applied to others. These unqualified
statements often mislead the settler
and he uses his rights and his limited
means in unproductive land. To the
unsuspecting settler without reliable
advice the poorest land for farming
purposes will appear the best. No
stranger to the necessary conditions
of good land should locate without re-
liable advice, and no one who is unac.
quainted with the peculiarities of
western soil should locate earlier in
the season than the middle of June,
and not later than the middle of Octo-
Der, as the quality and quantity of the
vegetation is the true criterion in
choosing land. No one should locate
on land which is so level that water
will lay on it until absorbed or eyapo-

THREE ANGELS.

They say this HE is barren, drear and cold:
Ever the same sad song was sung OF Old,
Ever the same long, weary tale is told,
And to our lips is held the cup of strife,
And yet--a little love can sweeten life.
They say our hands may grasp but joys de-
stroyed,
Youth has but dreams, and age an aching void,
Whose Dead Sea fruit long, long ago has cloyed,
Whose night with wild, tempestuous storms is
rife
And yet little hope can brighten life.
They say we fling ourselves in wild despair,
Amidst the broken treasures scattered there,
Where all is wrecked, where all once promised
fair;
And stab ourselves with sorrows two-edged
knife
And yet a little patience strengthens life.
Is it then true, this tale Of bitter grief,
OF mortal anguish finding no relief!
Lol midst the winter shines the laurels leaf;
Three angels share the lot of human strife,
Three angels glorify the path OF life.
Love- Hope and Patience cheer ms on our way,
Love, Hope and Patience form our spirits stay,
Love, Hope and Patience watch us day by day.
And bid the desert bloom with beauty vernal,
Until the earthly fades in the eternal.
