MOTH EATEN.

had beautiful garment,
And Ilaid it by with care;
I folded it close with lavender leaves
In a napkin fine and fair.
" 1t is far too costly robe" said,
"For one like me to wear"
So never at morn OF evening,
Iput my garment on;
1t lay by itself under clasp and key
In the perfumed dusk alone,
Its wonderful broidery hidden,
Till many day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portaI.
There were friends who sat with me,
And, clad in soberest raiment,
Ibore them company;
Iknew 1 owned the beautiful robe,
Though its splendor none might see.
There where poor who stood at my portaL
There were orphaned sought my carei
gave them tenderest pity,
But had nothing beside to spare:
l had only the beautiful garment,
And the raiment for daily wear.
At last, on feast days coming,
thought in my dress to shine;
would please myself with the luster
Of its shifting colors fine;
would walk with pride in the marvel
Of its rarely rich design.
So out from the dust bore it
The lavender fell away
And fold on fold held it up
To the searching light of day.
Alas the glory had perished
While there in its place it lay.
Who seeks for the fadeless beauty,
Must seek for the use thatsesl
To the grace of a constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals.
For into the folded robe alone,
The moth with its blightning steals.

THY LOVE.

And fills my heart with summer bloom.

That grief has oaght within my brain,
And brings dash of JOY again.
II males the dirkest night to mo
More clear than ever day can o,
For in my dreams am with thee.

THE facts are, that III 1858, whether

THE KARdSH ROAD

Some of our exchanges ale reporting
that the Wabash company has concluded
to send the Drs oineS Northwestern
line across O'Brien aud Lyon countie,
instead of occupying the survey acros
Clay county to Spirit Lake. This re
pert grove out of 4 misarptelensien o.
the situation. A company was recent
Iy formed Of Sac City capitalists, in
GLIDING several DesNiOineS gentlemen
connected with the Wabash system in
Iowa, with 4 view to building Il branch
from Rockwell OH the d. n. W. in Cal
houn county to Sac City and from
thence north westerly where the best
Inducements might be presented. Storm
Lake, Sheldon. Sanborn, Frimghar.
Sibley and Rock Rapids are all. we be-
lieve, making an effort to secure this
Wabash line, known us the Sac City e.
Dakota, hence the report concerning
the detection of the DesMoineS North
western.
This latter road is now complete to
Fonda. OH the Central road. Between
that point and Spirit Lake the right
Of way has all been secured and about
half the grading is done. Our people
have no fea,s Of losing this important
line of railway, and there is little doubt
but that ii will i've completed at least to
this point het"re the close ef 'S3.-Spir-
It Lake Beacon.
That is exactly the way we figured it
cut in the ADVANCE of Feb. l, in the
remark. ''if there is Il road projected
through Sheldon: it is probably a branch
only. The main line, that is. the Great
Backbone road along the divide, is pro-
jscted through Spirit Lake and Worth
ington.''
We have good reason to believe that
the Wabash road has already secured
IN interest in Il tract of land here at
W"rthington for depot and side-track
purposes, and that the Omaha, the

bly, the Milwaukee will unite in build

PROF HDMISTOvSAN
The Windom Reporter quotes what
the Chicago News says about Prof.
Hun,iston's discovery, rs follows:
Several years ago Prof. r. F. Humis-
ton, in = remote western village, was
appealed to as ! practical chemist to
emballn human body for long trans
portatien. The need caas upon him
unexpectedly, and his facilities were
m-xeer, but his attempt WAS wonder
fully successful. Reflection convinced
him that the process which thus 20 re-
narkably preserved 4 human corpse,
could be made to serve living humanity

healJhful preservation Of flesll and food
The study and experiments which led
up to present results have covered three
years, aad l.ave gene alsng under the
cognizance and encouragement Of prom

So it need not be surprising that Cot
tonwood county takes no active part in
a relief measure, but when the time
comes for the choice of judge, Cotton
wood may have something to say. We
suppose that to help n obles county hur.

district will have to be chopped up; and
then we hear that some of the lawyers
are net we'll pleased with the present
judge.-Windom Reporter.

Of any lawyers for the judgeship, but

DEATH or FdNvYDHISCOLL.

The wife g: II. L. E. White, one Of
the editors If the Chicago Tribune,
died III Milwaukee Feb. 93d. Mrs.
White, better known as Fanny Dris-
coll, was married about two months
ago, the fact being published in the n D.
VANCE: 1T the tine. She contracted i
bad cold some time ago which resulted
in quick consumption.
Mrs. White had gained quite y repn-
tAtiOn us II poetess and Il prose writer
for the public journals and magazines.
The readers of Tie ADVANCE will re-
Membrr q number Of her poems which
first saw the light through the columns
Of the ADVANCE.
One of these poems. published in the
ADVANCE of June 10, 1879. is so beau
tiful and 80 appropriate now, that we
republish it below:
BAYARD TAYLOR.
The lotus LII Is OF the old dreaming Nile,
Dmgged white and scnsu"us, leaned to his
feet;
The palms and cnders OF de I'd Pale ,tnc
Waved DER his head in rhythm solemn-sweet; {;
The blue and stcried waters of the Rhine
Flashed to him unanimously in the dusk;
And all of Spain breatled in tile roses musk
That blo0,ncd for hin. And from the noun
ta,ns tall
The gods sent cool soft breeZes to eDthrall;
And English eyes and English lips did plead
In vain. All, al was vain He could not
stay,
But seeking for his boyhoo.,'s mystic dreams
That lurrd him ever Oh with fitful CLEANS.
Into strange unknown laM's he went away!
FANNY DRlsCOLL.
How appropriate now, as applied to
her own departure, are the concluding
lines:
elm vain. All, all was vain She coul, not stay
But seeking for her girlhoo''s mystic dreams
That lured her ever on with ftful CLEANS,
Into strange, unknown lands she went away"

BLOCKiDES.

Tie Sibley Gazette takes US to task
for saying that the blockade trouble
with the Burlington road was ''lown
in Iowa" and for speaking of other
roads suffering from blockadcs in that
State. 1t says:
The ADVANCE finds it convenient to
forget that the Southern Minnesota,
and Northwestern railroads were badly
blOckadsd witt, snow II few weeks ago,
and starts it's readers upon the Thought
that down in Iowa is where the trou-
BILE comes ;n.' We don't believe that
the ADVANCE really means to he dis
honest. but if it intends to deal with
blOckades in general, we demand that
Northwestern Iowa shall have the cred
it which it justly deserves.
The Gazette finds it convenient tc
forget that in y blockade article Weel,
or two before we stated that the Vino
MA l. st. Peter road, I. hundred miles
northeast of us. was badly blOckaded
for days. resulting III Il fuel famine at
st. Charles. III the same article We
Stated that the Southern Mianesots
ROAD bctwee1t Ful,la and Edgerton haC

object in several articles WAS to show
| that the ST. Paul & Sioux City road \ &C
not suffered as much us ether roads
not AS much as the Illinois Central il
Iowa or AS some reads in Michigan
The St. P. Il $. &. runs through North
western Iowa just as it does through
Southwestern Minnesota, and when W.
spoke of that road we meant the Who'll
road from st. Paul TO Sioux City. Blu
there is no doubt about the fact tina
the Burlington has had much NOR
tro. BILE in Iowa than in Minnesota.
The fact is, bley is only 1S mile
