To brave the danger and to bear the harm

An excellent thing 1t is-whcn first in glad
A mother looks into her infants eyes
Smiles to Its smiles, and saddcns to its sad
Palea at its paeness, sorrows at its cries:
All these come ever bent with one low gentle

An excellent thing It Is when life is leaving
Leaving with gloom and gladness, Joys and
The strong heart failing, and the high soul

With strongest thoughts. and wild unwonted

Then, then Il womans low, soft sympathy
Comes like an angels voice to teach us how to

When the fond lover hears the loved ones

That fears, but longs, to syllable the truth
How their two hearts are one, and she his

Hean Gone.

Following is the classic and unique
language in which Bill Nye, the Boom
erang man, paralyzes Il ,lead-beat:
Another land mark OF Laramie has
gone. Another wreck has been strewn
upon the sands of time. Another gay
bark has gone to pieces upon the cruel
rocks, and above the broken spars and
jib boom and foretop gallant royal main
brace and spanker boom euchre deck
the cold. damp tide is moaning.
We refer to L. w. Shredder, who re-
Gently left this place incog., also in debt
largely to various people of this gay and
festive metropolis.
Laramie has been the home at various
times of some of the most CLASSICAL dead
beats of modern times, but Shredder
was the noblest. the most grand and CO.
lossal of dead beats that has ever visited
our shores. Born with unusual abilities
in this direction, he early learned how
to enlarge and improve upon the talents
thus bestowed upon him, and here in
Laramie he soon won place at the
front as a man who purchased every
thing and paid for nothing. He had a
way of approaching the grocer and the
merchant that was well calculated to
deceive, and he did in several instances
make representations which we now
learn were false.
He was by profession carpenter and
joiner, having learned the art while cut
ting cordwood on the Missouri bottoms
near Omaha for the Collins Brothers.
Here he rapidly won this way to the front
rank by erecting some Of the most COM
manding architectural ruins of which
modern wood assassination can boast.
He would take 4 hatchet and a buck
saw and carve out his fortune anywhere
in the world, and it wouldn't cost him q
cent. He filled his whole trans-Mis-
souri, country with his fame and his
promissory notes aud then skinned out
and left us here to mourn.
Good bye, Shredder. Wherever you
go. we will remember you and hope
that you may succeed in piling up a
monument Of Indebtedness as you did
here. You were industrious and untir-
ing in efforts to become great Imam
cial wreck and success has crowned
your efforts. We will not grndge you
the glory that coagulates about your
massive brow"

Sleeping With Serpents.

tiles crowded upon one another, quar-

Professor did not budge--- only now and
then he would wake slightly and cry
softly. 'Whist, boys! be easy. boys!''
At last a big ''coachwhip" snake
found an opening near the edge Of the
blankets, and slowly glided in. There

in one couch, were lost in peaceful

Anna Dickinson has withdrawn from
the stage and is living with her sister
and aged mother at Honesdale. Pa.
"She and her family" says friendly
writer in the Philadelphia Press. "are
poor, but proud as ever. Anna has been
importuned by her friends 70 return to
the rostrum, but she will not listen to
anything of the kind. The temperance
people are especially anxious to enlist
her services. Her disastrous theatrical
venture took her last dollar. She looks
careworn and somewhat sad. Her large
expressive eyes are as,el0quent as ever,
but it is impossible not to feel, after .
glance at her face, that disappointment

Lotta makes money as an actress
rapidly and easily, but sometimes loses
in investments. She is out $4,000
on speculative purchase of a play.
About the time that melodrama was
in great demand in this country, she
learned, while visiting in London. that
Charles Reade was at work with q
drama,ist on play in which an explo-
sion in coal mine was u be a feature.
She thought that the American right
would be good thing to bay. and glad
ly embraced the opportunity Of paying
$4,000 for it before it had beef named
or half written. Consequently she is
the owner for this country of "Lovc and
Money" which made SO bad failure
at the Adelphi Theatre. London, tha.
even the boys in the pit made fun of it.
She is somewhat consoled, however, by
the fact that no manager in this country
would now touch the best melodrama
that could be written. so that the un-
timeliness Of her property saved her
from trying ir vain to sell it. As it is
not apiece in which she herself can ap-
pear, she will clay it away back ON the
top shelf, conscious that no other actress
could lose SO much money and feel it SO
little"

According to the newspapers of Rio
Janeiro, writing on the eleventh ami
versary Of the passing of the law of
emancipation in 1871, the effect of that
measure has been singularly beneficial
to the material and moral development
Of the country. In those years more
than $4,000 slaves have been spontane-
ously freed by their masters without
compensation, while the State has given
liberty to more than 1900. During the
same period 2S0,0O0 children Of slaves
have been born free, and the cost to the
state OF emancipation up to the present
time has been nearly S4.000,00O.

With the advent of September, the first
month with an "R," everybody can eat
oysters, We say everybody, for many PEG,
pie still hold to the old theory that oysters
are good only in the months that have an
'R" in them, and although this theory has
long since been exploded by the fact that
fresh oysters are caught and sold through
the entire summer. 1t was still practically
demonstrated yesterday that many people
still hold to the old theory,
and refuse to eat oysters until
the "R" m )nths come. The amount
of stock provided by rail for yesterdays
trade was unusually large for so early in
the season. But the demand was so heavy
that the entire stock was exhausted early
in the day. However q full stock Of our
