New Life

is gwen by using Browns
IRON BITTERs. In the
Winter it strengthens and
warns the system; in the
Spring it enriches the blood
and conquers disease; in the
Summer it gives tone to the
nerves and digestive organs;
in the Fall it enables the
system to stand the shock
OF sudden changes.
In no way can disease be
so surely prevented as by
keeping the system in per-
feet condition. Browns
IRON BITTERs ensures per-
feet health through the
changing seasons, it disarms
the danger from impure

A Sweetly Beautiful Poem.

S~@>
e do not know, but whoever did, neec
ever write anything else to convince th
orld that he or she is poet of the sweetes
Id tenderest thoughts in the language
e think we have never read anything S,
so entirely beautiful l.-Erchang ge
II am weary of the garden"
Said the Rose;
For the winter winds arc signing,
All my playmates round me dying,
And my leaves will soon be lying,
Meath the SHOWS.
But I hear my Mistress coming"
Said the Rose;
She will take me to her chamber,
Where the honeysuckles Chamber,
And I'll bloom there all December
Spite of SHOWS.
"Sweeter fell her lily finger
Than the Bee
All, how feebly resisted,
Smoothed my thorns and cen assisted,
AS all blushing was twisted
Off my tree.
"And she fixed me in her bosom
Like q star;
And flashed there all the morning,
Jesamine, honeysuckle scorning,
Parasites forever fawning
That they are.
"And when evening came she sat ME
In vase,
All Of rare and radiant metal
And l felt her red lips settle
On my leaves till each proud petal
Touched her face.
"And shone about her slumbcr
Like light;
And said instead of weeping,
In the garden vigil keeping,
Here I'll watch my mistress sleeping.
Every night.
But when morning with its sunbeams
Softly shone,
In the mirror where she braided
Her brown hair, saw how jaded,
Old and colorles5 and faded,
had grown.
Not drop of dew was on me,
Never one;
All my perfume had departed,
I lay pale and broken-hearted
In the sun.
"Still, I said, her smile is better
Than the rain;
Though my fragrance may forsake me.
TO her bosom she will take me,
And with crimson kisses make me
Young again.
$50 she took me-gazed second
Half q sigh
Then, alas can harts so harden?
Without ever asking pardon,
Threw me back into the garden
There to die.
"And the jealous garden gloried
In my fall!
How the honeysuckles child me,
How the sneering jesamines bid me
Light the long, dark grass that hid nj
Like a pail.
There lay beneath her window
In a sWoon,.
Till the earth worm DER me trailing.
Woke me just at twilight failing,
AS the whip-poor-will was wailing
To the moon.
"But hear the storm winds stirring
In their lair,
And know they soon will lift me
In their gians arms and sift me
Into ashes as they drift me
Through the air.
So I pray them in their mercy
Just to take
From my heart of hearts, or near it,
The last living leaf and bear it
TO her feet, and bid her wear it
For my sake"

May first in Prescott was observed by the teachers of our public schools with festal and floral rites, in accordance with the GUS toms established by Henry VIII. when he rode a-Maying' with Queen Catharine and many lords and ladies of Greenwich to the ground of Shooters Hill.
 The theatre building was kindly furnished by Messrs. Bowers < Riehapds for the oc- casion.a At an early hour this forenoon parents with their children and baskets of refreshments were seen vending their way to the aforesaid edifice where Prof. Martin. Miss Merrill and Mrs. Cullumber, the teach CTS, were waiting to receive them. Feast. ing, playing and enjoyment were indulged in until D. m when the crowning of Miss May Bean, as Queen, was in order.

A railroad meeting was held last eve ming. New officers were elected and letters of importance read, showing that the matter has not died out. We hope a survey will be made soon, and grading at no distant period.
 Special term of the District Court meets in Prescott next Monday. This move in getting a special term started will so far clean out business that the June term will not be burdensome, and can be handled by ease and the docket cleared entirely. It is wise thing on the part of the Judge to get important matters adjudicated early, and thus save.t the county heavy expense.

 I little thought this morning while ten derly conveying bunch of young onions to the place where knew they would dc the most good, the eyes of the MINER were upon me, and before was aware of my imprudsnce, a promise was extracted tc write an article upon cooking make 1t short, ' that organ roared after my retreat ing steps. Now considering the subject should start from the time of our dear Mother Eve, as she tripped about with the, sweet little apron, idown to the present age I can hardly restrain my feeling at this barrier towards writing long and exhaust i've treatise upon an art of which I have be- come almost an adept. Let me explain: Some ten years or more ago, upon my ad- vent to the West, I really knew as much about cooking as that famous French Princess who wondered why a people starving for bread diG not eat toast. Seeing miner in Colorado removing an accumu- lation of dirt by means of the dough he vas kneeding, and being expected to eat my portion thereof, was sufficient to turn my attention at once to ead-baking, and since that time I have attended pretty generally to the things l eat myself
 Humorists tell us there is no act of our lives which can be performed without breaking through some one of the many meshes of the law by which our rights are so carefully guarded. Applying this to the Mosaic law l would like to meet the man who could cook for one single day without directly and horribly violating the law on profanity. By the Eay, what does woman do when she grasps a stove lid litter when almost red hotl l know what man does under the circumstances, and does it, too, with painful emphasis when the stove smokes? or sauce- pan containing some cunning concoction de- signed for the special delectation ct the husbands palate. ppsets at the moment of m ature perfection? repeat, what do our sisters say and do? have watched them at times with the closest attention, but be- yond certain compression of the lips, uO eoCetpOO-bt dLtiiUuOOO OO my presence-but alone with the hapless skillet what would she say2 I have often thanked God at such times that was not her hus- band. Variety is the spice of life; variety pleases the senses; mOnotony is disagree able. The eye becomes fatigued by looking always on pne object, the ear by listening to one sound, and the palate by tasting one flavor. It is the same with the stomach, consequently variety of food IS one of the for good digestion. This is all very we'll for the residents of Prescott, but my epicurean friends will sympathize with me xhea they think of another month awaiting me of bread, bacon and coffee, pure and simple, and under such circumstances to be requested to write an article upon cooking is enough to cause any we'll regu- | lated cb.f de cuisine to cry out in anguish of spirit: Rem acu tetigis;i

Still the yellow torrent pours through the Golden Gate. On Saturday two steamers arrived at San Francisco bringing nearly eighteen hundred Chinamen. Mir. Hoar, and MT. Beecher and Eastern chinophiles generally may like this inflow of 4,OOO Coolies monthly, but what do the working men of the country think of it2 They are the ones most deeply concerned, for every Chinaman that lands on American soil helps to lower the wages of the white worker. This is doubtless their chief attraction to MT. Hoar and his friends, who represent the wealth of the country, not the people.
