THE DATE THE RING

Tho women dressed her for farewell
In snowy silk and lace;
A crown Of her braided hair they set
Above her quiet face,
Aud on her placid breast they laid
White roses as became a maid.
Her mother bent and kissed her lips,
And kissed her braided hair,
And folded down the peaceful hands
Upon the bosom fair.
And, weeping, saw on one ring,
A little golden, time-worn thing.
She took it from the icy hand
And looked Tor rhyme or name,
Something to say why it was there,
From whose fond thought it came.
She only saw, through many a tear,
A date long past-day, month, and year.
Twas some schoolfellow's gift, she sighed,
The child forgot to show"
And nut it back in its own place
With tender touch and Slows
And saw its tiny glitter rest
Like sunshine on that quiet breast.
An. little ring. you kept It well,
The secret of your date
Whate'er its meaning, it goes untold
Beyond the earth and fate
Pain or blessing-whO can say
How much Of either IN 1t lay
We watch the light in our darling's eyes.
The lines that the slow years bring,
Yet know as little what they mean
As the secret of the ring.
Joy or sorrow-God only knows
How much of both lies under the rese.

Met His Match.
Shoe and Leather Reporter.


The only man who ever beat nitro
glycerine explosion after it was once
started is John McClary, of Pennsyl-
vania. He saw what was coming and
ran. His coat-tail was cut off and his
back was somewhat scratched. He
jumped, with some assistance from be-
hind, about 100 feet, and continued
running until he dropped from fatigue.
He kept ahead of the flying fragments
just as Baron Munchausen kept ahead
of the rain, and there may be a lie
about it somewhere also. This is some
thing akin to the story which old Col.
Reed, of Acton, Mass, relates, and
maintains that he was an eyewitness of
the circumstance. One of the powder
houses on the bank of the stream below
Concord blew up las they are in the
habit of doing on an average of two or
three times year,, and sent man
flying through the air, throwing him
completely over a round-top hill. He
was accompanied in his terrible flight
by an instrument-probably something
sharper than the ordinary hoe used in
the manipulation of saltpetre-which,
Just before he landed, cut him in twain
through the waist. The legs walked off
for distance o fseveral yards, and the
trunk, pointing its index finger toward
the retreating saddle, exclaimed "See
therep A bystander, who didn't seem
to take much stock, SO to speak, in the
ColonePs story, related what occurred
in his saw MILL Two dogs were fight
ing. When the encounter became
fercest they got directly under in front
of the saw, on the carriage, which was
slowly but surely moving up to the
killing point. They seemed to be in a
death-struggle, when one of them was
cut completely in two. Now. it is a
weli-known proposition that every dog
has fore legs, but no dog has fore be-
hind; and, however that may be, the
two hind legs of this particular dog ran
away, while the two fore legs of this
particular dog mreained and whipped
the other dog. Col. Reed simply said :

no hopes of heavenl"

Mormon Intrigues.

INcITING A NUMBER OF INDIAN TRIBES TO
Go ON THE wARPATH.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.-0n Decem-
Der IA, a Leavenworth paper published
a report from Chris. Gibson, an Indian
scout, to the effect that there is likely
to be an uprising of the Ute, Piute, and
Navajo Indians in Arizona, Utah, and
New Mexico as soon as the winter is
over, owing to Mormon intrigues. The
Mormons are said to be furnishing the
Indians with arms, ammunition, and
whisky. Mr.. Thomas F. Hopkins, a
man of means and good standing, en-
gagged In mining operations in Mari
copa county, Arizona, transmitted this
report to Gen. o. B. Wilcox, at Fort
Whipple, with letter, in which he
says:
These whisperings of Mormon work are
growing louder and more positive, and /
very much fear that their present secret
actions will soon produce dire results, I'M
less cognizaHce is taken of the matter.
As / said to you when here, there is no
doubt that our Mormon neighbors at Mesa
City and other points east of us here are
pursuing the same course, and the facts
can be established by reliable evidence.
Most people know the facts. but hesitate
to accuse the Mormons because of BUSH
ness connections, trade considerations, etc.
Unless the snake be scotched, its venomous
spring is only question of time.
The letter and enclosure were sent to
the interior department, and Secretary
Kirkwood mas laid them before the
commissioner ON Indian affairs. In a
letter accompanying them Secretary
Kirkwood says:
I have to request that you will cause
copies of the papers to be furnished to
each of the United States Indian agents
of the tribes and bands noted, and instruct
the agents to exercise the utmost dill
gence and energy in examining into the
matters of complaint, to spare no pains to
ascertain the truth of these allegations,
and promptly report any evidence or sig ms
of interference with their Indians in any
way; also any manifestations of discomfort,
insubordination, or restlessness on the
part of the Indians.
have requested the attorney general
of the United States to furnish some reli-
able detectives, if possible. to find out
any facts or circumstances which will aid
the department in arriving at Just I'M
Outstanding of the situation, and provid-
ing such means of avertiDg the trouble as
may be found requisite.

An Enthusiastic Enlargement.

UORHAM, n. H.. July tt, IoIJ.
GENTs-Whoeyer you are, don't know; but
thank the Lord and feel grateful to you to know
that in this world of adulterated medicines there
is one compound that proves and does all it adj
vertises to do, and more. -Four years ago had a
slight shock of palsy, which unnerved me to such
an extent that the least excitement would make
me shake like the ague. Last May was induced
to try Hop Bitters. / used one bottle, but did
not see any change; another did so change my
nerves that they are now as steady as they ever
were. 1t used to take both hands to write, but
now my good right hand writes this. Now, if
you continue to manufacture as honest and good
an article as you do, you will accumulate an
honest fortune, and confer the greatest bles sing
on your fellow -men that was ever conferred on
mankind. TIM BURcH.

Smoking in the Presence OF Ladies.

The woman who does not require of
a man the form of respect, invites him
to discard its substance, and there is
one violation of the form which is re-
cent and gross. and might well be cited
as a striking illustration in the decay
of manners. 1t is the practice of smok-
ing in the society of ladies' in public
and in private places, whether driving,
walking, sailing or sitting. There are
preur Cheuaiers who would be honest
ly amazed if they were told they
did not behave like gentlemen, VINO

piazza. or strolling in public park,

TRANQUILITY as if they were alone in their
rooms. Or a young man comes along
upon the deck of a steamer and blows
clouds of tobacco smoke in their faces,

trays that he has no ear for music;

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Hon. Mr..

impossible that some of the brayest,

many years ago by the natives while
