A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT.

Every man builds his own house-builds
it many chambered, fresh ventilated, pic
ture-hung vine wreathed, guest full; or
low-pent, bare wall, tlowerless, inhospita-
ble-just in accordance with his inner ma
ture. Precisely as the internal force of
affinity in the molusk lays hold of and ag-
gregates around itself the fine lime parti-
cles in the sea water, so does the internal
force in the human soul lay hold of and
aggregate around itself what it wants. The
surrounding ocean holds in solution knowl-
edge, pleasure, meat, drink, wit, wisdom,
friends, flowers, God; and out of this
wealth we secrete our shells-clam shells or
nautilus as we are clans or nautili. We
find what we crave-funny, if we have a
zest for the funny friends if we long for
friends; beauty, if we love beauty; thought
if we tend to thought. We build up our
house, small or large If we are refined, it
is refined; if we are roomy, it is roomy.

A SAWN MAN.

Bill Nye is in Wisconsin, hunting Goldfish
and health. In recent letter to his paper
the Boomerang-he gives an account of a
collision between man and large saw
at one of the saw mills in the lumber re-
gion of that state. He says The man
backed up against large saw that was re-
volving at the rate of about 200 times a
minute.
g The saw took large chew of tobacco
from the plug he had in his pistol pocket,
and then began on him. But there is no
use going into details Such things are
not cheerful. They gathered him up out
of the saw dust, and put him in nail keg,
and carried him away but he did not
speak again. Life was quite extinct.
Whether it was the nervous shock, or the
conclusion of the cold saw against his liver
that killed him, no one ever knew"

THE DUDES LAMENT.

CANON CITY, May 30, 1888
EDITOR RECORD:
As a young man about town notice that
the people of Cafion City are very sociable
and given to gathering together and having
good times at socials-church and other
wise-and with one exception it appears to
me that the people of Canon are the most
social people it has ever been my good for
tune to associate with. 1t may be pre-
sumption on my part to call attention to
the exception above alluded to, but as we
all strive to attain perfection, it may be
that few words upon the subject may so
change things that Cafion will shortly be-
come a social paradise.
The matter to which would call atten-
tion is a delicate one for young man to
approach, and do it with diflidence. and
only the supreme importance of the matter
gives me sufficient nerve to mention the
subject.
You will readily perceive, by the way l
have beaten around the subject in the fore
going, how very reluctantly l approach
the real object of this communication, but
it is useless to peregrnate around the bush
further; it must be tackeled, so here goes
Well, we THAT is myself and other young
mem attend social parties, and do all we
can to amuse and entertain the young la
dies present, and when the hour approaches
for taking our departure, we put on our
sweetest smiles in the hope that the young
ladies will offer to escort us home but alas
all our efforts are futile The obdurate
hearts of the young ladies are as steel, and
we are obliged to wend our way homeward
solitary and alone, and we feel that all our
efforts at pleasing the fair creatures have
been for naught. 1t is burning shame
that young men should be obliged TO 90
home, Mt n late hour in the night. alone
How much pleasanter it would be to be es-
corted by a young lady, who would pro-
tect him from the attacks of tramps and
ferocious dogs. Thus escorted they would
skip along joyfully, with unison of step,
two minds with but single thought and
two hearts that beat as one" The young
ladies do not realize how much bliss they
are losing by their distrait ways. cannot
account for their perversity, unless it be
that they imagine that if one of them
should escort young man home, he would
at once conclude she was in love with him.
Pshaw our hearts not SO susceptible
as all that. Let not too great anxiety fer
our welfare prevent you from extending to
us the courtesies of society. With the
hope that these few lines may have a bene-
ficial effect, j subscribe myself 0sf
