Lies Essence.

Fair are the flowers and the children. but their
subtle suggestion Is fairer;
Rare ID the rosebud OF dawn, but the secret that
clasps that Is rarer;
Sweet the eXullance or song, but the strain that
precedes 1t Is sweeter;
And never was poem yet writ but the meaning
OutmaSterS the meter.
Never a daisy that grows but a mystery guldeth
the growing;
Never river that flows but majesty scepters the
flowing:
Never Shakespeare that scared but stronger
than he did unfold him,
Nor ever a prophet foretells but mightier seer
hath f0retOld him.
Back of the canvas that throbs the painter is
limited and bi1den
Into the statue that breathes the soul OF the scup-
tor Is hidden:
Under the Joy that is felt lie the infinite issues of
feeling;
crowns the revealing.
Great Is the symbol OF being, but that which is
symbOled IS greater;
Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the inward
creator;
Back OF the sound broods the silence, back of the
GIT stands the giving;
Back of the hand that receives thrill the sensitive
nerves OF receiving.
Space is as nothing to spirit, the deed is outdone
by the doing;
The heart OF the wooer is warm, but warmer the
heart OF the wOOing:
And up from the pits where these shiver, and up
from the heights where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim Starward and the
essence OF life Is divine.

The BelrOlhal.

On for one hour OF such enchanted light
AS made fairer daytime In the sky.
When on the willOw-bank we sat that night,
Ny Old-tme love and /!
Awhile we talked so low and tenderly,
We felt the list eniny trees above US lean;
And louder far the silence seemed to me
That fell at last between.
Her heart lay floating on its quiet thoughts,
Like water-liiies on n tranquil lake;
And love w thin, unknown, because unSought,
Lay dreaming half awake.
All, love Is the highest sleeper ever knowni
Awhisper, and he started plain to view;
OH as the heavens seemed our story grown,
While yet the moon Was new.
And when she spoke. her answer seemed the while
Sweeter for sweetness OF the lips that told,
Setting precious wOrl within a smile
diamond ringed with gold.
Then blOomed for US the perfect century flower;
Then filled the cup and Overran the brlm;
And all the stars, professional, that hour,
Chanted a bridal hymn.
All, Time all after days may fly away,
Such Joy as that hast but once to give,
And love IS royal from his browning day,
Though kiDgdOmeS5 he live.

One day grand post Office official happened
to be passing through government office with
which he was not connected. There he saw a
man standing before the fire reading news
paper. Hours afterward returning the same
way, he was shocked to find the same man, legs
extended, before the same fire, still buried In
the columns Of newspaper. 'Hallo. sir!'' cried
the indignant head of the department, ''what
are you doing?"
Cant you see what am doing7" was the
answer.
"Sir, came through this office four hours
ago, and found you reading the paper; re-
turned and you are still wasting your time in
the same manner"

TO Wy Daughter.

Oh, sweet bewildered soul, watch
The fountains of thine eyes, to catch
New fancies bubbling there;
To feel our common light, and lose
The flush OF strange ethereal hueS
Too dim for us to share!

This creature human, for my sake,
Since i am naught but clay;
An angel Is too fine a thing
To sit behind my chair AMI sing
And cheer my passing day.

Bond Legislation.

Hon. Jesse Stone, ex-senator F. Ku
sci, alderman w. F. Voss and city at.
torney G. II. Gardner, left last evening
for Madison to look alter the interests OF
the city in connection with the pending
legislation pertaining to our railroad
bond Indebtedness.
The bills before the Assembly to head
off the efforts of Watertown in defending
herself against the bondholde.s are null
ii lying with great Iapidity. For some
reason the bondholders. and those inter
ested with them in endeavoring to ob.
tain from us the "uttermost farthing, look
upon the Assembly this winter as the
goal to their fondest hopes and anticips
tons. To just what extent the present
legislature will satisfy the demands and
exactions of the holders of WATERFOWL
railroad bonds, cannot be determined at
present What is known as the Friend
bill requires that some person be appoint
d by the court who shall proceed to levy
upon the taxable property to satisfy judy
ments and debts. II is understood that Dir.
Mariner has substitute for this bill before
the Judiciary committee which calls for
the collection of a tax each year amount
ing to per cent. of our taxable property
until all the railroad Indebtedness of our
city is paid up. Then another bill has
been offered, drawn up, it is said, by E.
w. Reyes, which amends our city charter.
We have not seen the bill but of course
i 5 provisions require us to have mayor
aud full council all the time SO that SER
vice can be procured on the citv. 1t
&c ms highly improbable that any other
business than that attending to Wstertown
W il be done during the present session
Of the legislature. With the Watertown
bondhollers and their agents and lawyers
to the front, it WAS the wrong time to
commence to work under the biennial
session amendment BY the appearance
of matters it will take several sessions
alone to Elk" WATERFOWL in such
manner as to satisfy the cravings of our
creditors.
