The Flowers and the Soul.

All through the lonely, dreary whit days
Some fragrant plants ceased not to grow and
bloom,
Enlivened by hearth-Hre's steady blaze,
Where ruddy Goals deiied tho geld gloom,
Which outdoors did abound.
Quite Justify they throve, and seemed to
For increase, each pale sunbeam that down
Well were they cared for, and were madC
to feel
The impress OF that subtle charm which home
So gently girds around.
Until tho joyous springtimo came apace,
Anear it's mystic echoes seemed to ring,
And nature showed n bright and kindly
face,
SO that the birds no longer feared to sing
Upon the budding boug..s.
Then there arrived a very busy day;
The close grouped plants were parted, lifted
forth
And carried to a garden, far away,
All greenly beautiful, which toward the north
No prospect wide allows.
All. much We missed the tender lcafy
screen,
The pretty blossoms gainst the window pane,
Regretting then at first, wa did not deem
That only then departed had their reign,
In very sooth, begun.
And here we see likeness TO the soul,
Which dwells at best within n pleasant room,
While bound to earth, yet ever lies its goal
In Beulah's shining meads beyond the tomb,
Where glows the Eternal sun.

The Cost Of the Fences.

II has been estimated by Bradstreefs :
that there are six million miles Of
fence in the United States, the cost Of
which has been more than $1,000. .O00.-
600, or about 1925 a mile. Formerly
the fences Of farms were built Of
wood. and the annual repairs pat a
heavy tax upon the farmers. The
last census shows that the cost Of
such repairs in 1877 was S7S,629. 600.
Most farm fences area now built of
wire, and sixty thousand miles Of
such fence were built in 1881, at a cost
Of sl0,000.000. or about half the cos.
per mlle Of the old wooden fences.

IN THE LAKE.
Another Added to the List of Lake
Minnehaha's Victims.
The Probability That There Is An
other Floater in the Waters.

Lake Minnehaha was yesterday again
made the scene of an accident which
cost a bright and promising lad his life
and brought sorrow to the hearts of his
parents and kin i'll the family circle of
a pool and lowly emigrant, but one
whose heart throbs with painful pulsa-
tions just as feelingly as if beneath
broad cloth and fine linen.
The unfortunate lad, by name William
Paul Hays, in his 10th year, was
out in a boat with three other compan-
ions, one Il man grown, upon Lake
M%innehaha east of the city, engaged as
boys frequently are when on the water,
i'll rocking the boat unmindful of the
stiff breeze which was rushing across
the lake at the time. In the midst of
this sport the boat upset, and in the
struggle in the icy water, which ensued,
the lad Hays fioated out of reach of the
capsized boat to which his fellows chung,
and sank beneath the surface and
drowned. The other boys were got to
shore, n of them more dead than
alive from struggling so long in the cold
water of the lake.
Coroner Lee was Immediately notified
and boats were manned and the work
of dragging for the body commenced
for. it did not rise to the surface again.
The parents of the lad, Mr.. and Mrs.
Hays and two younger brothers and
their sisters came from Dacater county,
Kansas, and were encamped on the
flats south of the lake. AT the time
of the accident Mr.. Hays was absent in
town looking for work to busy himself
during the few days in which they pro-
posed to remain in camp. The boy left
at the time his father did with his gun
to look for game, but during his fathers
absence he returned and went out on
the lake. The parents of the boy took
the accident very much to heart and
conld hardly control their sorrow az
they were giving the sad particulars to
the LEADER representative who called
upon them shortly after the accident
occurred.
Is THERE ANOTHER DROWNED
Tuesday morning as John Eames was
driving by Lake M%innehaha by the road
which passes round the foot of the lake,
he observed lying on the shore as if left
there by a bather, some clothing in
Guiding a pair of boots and a satchel.
Not thinking more of the matter than
that some n had gone in the water
for a wash, he drove by, but at night
when he returned he found the boots
still lying on the bank although the
satchel and clothing had disappeared.
Inasmuch as the boots are good ones,
and the surroundings seem favorable to
the theory, this gives rise to the sus-
picion that some man unacquainted
with the lake had ventured into its
icy waters and becoming benumbed,
taken with a chill, or cramped,
drowned and the body.lies in the water;
while some wayfarer finding the IN
used apparel has appropriated it to his
own use excepting the boots, which he
probably could not use. This is a sus-
picion merely, and is given for what it
is worth.
