Bayard Taylor never fully reconciled himself
to the vocation of a prose writer, says a writer
In the August Hdrper's. He believed that the
world should have demanded nothing of him
but poetry. Concerning this he used to tell a
good story at his own expense. During his last
lecturing trip through the western states he
was the guest, in small city Of the chairman
Of the lecture committee, q selfsatisfied and
prosperous citizen, who met Taylor at the train
and carrird him home to his own smartly furn-
ished house. While waiting for the evening re-
past, the well-fed chairman said, with manifest
pride, that probably Mr.. Taylor did not remem-
Der him. No, Mr.. TAYLOR did not. "Why," said
the chairman. "you were here In this town 10
years ago this very winter. this very month, and
stopped with me, as you are stopping now. "
Mr.. Taylor professed his interest In the inn
portant tact. The chairman, glancing around
on the chromos, the new. carpets and the gilt
tering white walls of his home. said: Eyes; YOU
see have been prospecting since then. Yes:
the world has been pretty good place for me.
1t has for You, too, Mr.. Taylor. have watched
your course ever since I got acquainted with
you 10 years ago, and suppose am one of the
few people who have read everything you ever
wrote"
..What, " said Taylor, ''everything?"
Yes; sir, everything could lay my hands
on"
'.Then," said Taylor, "perhaps you win tell
me what you think 0fmy new poem Lars 2"
"Gosh" said the man, "d0 you write poetry"

The Adorable Miss Brown.

There never was prettier girl In all this little
town
Than Juliana GeOrgiana Seraphina Brown;
She lifted up her tiny foot and put ft lightly down.
Ana mats the Way she went about through ali
this little town
This Juiana Georgiana Seraphina Brown,
She winked a wink with both her eyes whenever
would frown;
And In the JOY of such glance my very heart
would drown;
And that's the way she ruled the boys through all
this little town.
For. Juliana Georgiana Seraphina Brown,
Aoure sweet as any peaches In your brand-new
Sunday gown;
You're just the girl to kelp a chap to win himself
renown;
So don't you go and miss 1t and take some country
clown.
on. Juliana Georgiana Seraphina Brown,
III were but jolly king I'd make you share my
crown?
But since you're just an active verb, and I'm
common noun,
I'll take the sentence as IL stands and parse thfs
little town!

Sometime.

Sometime think you will be glad to know
That once kept you fondy in my heart,
And that your hearts true home was really there,
Although to-day we wander lar apart.
Some ho1r, when you have slipped away from
care.
And idly fall to dreaming Of the past,
And sadly think Of all your life has missed,
You Will remember my true heart at last.
Or IL may come TO pass, some dreary night,
After a day that has been hard to BEAR
When you are weary, heart-Sick and forlOrn,
And there Is none to comfort, nor to care,
That you will close your tired eyes, to dream
or tender kisses falling soft, anu light,
or reStful touches smoothing back your hair,
And sweet words spoken for your hearts de-
light.
Oh! then you will remember, and be glad
That once kept you fOndly In my hear:,
And that your hearts true home W as really there
Although to-day we wander far apart

face may be Worthwhile to cover a heart that's
aching;
And face may be full OF light over a heart that's
breaking!
IT'S not the heaviest grief for which we wear the
willow;
The tears bring slow relief which only wet the
pillow.
Hard may be burdens borne, though friends would
fain unbind them;
Harder are crosses worn where none save Christ
can ind them.
For the loved WHO leave our she our souls are
well-nigh riven;
But ah, for the graves we hide have pity tender

Soft be the words and sweet that soothe the spoken
sorrow;
Alas! for the weary feet that may not rest to-

BuRabOOs and Burglars,

From the Detroit Post.
lady in this city overheard her nurse girl
talking to the little child she was putting to
sleep, and among other legends Of the nursery
in which she INDUCED was this:
'Ifyou don't go right to sleep this very min
ute great big, awful black bear, with eyes
like Goals Of fire, and sharp. white cruel teeth.
will come out from under the bed and eat
y-o-u-a-l-lu-p!"
The poor little thing nestled down under the
clothes, and after long season of terror fell
asleep, to dream frightful dreams of bears eat
ing her.
That night when the stolid nurse had COM
posed herself in her own comfortable bed and
had put the light out, there came a sudden rap
at the door, and the voice Of the mistress called
loudly:
Maggie! Maggie! for mercy's sake get up as
quick as you can! There's fearful burglar
under the bed, and as soon as you get asleephe's
coming out to rob and murder YOU"
At the word burglar the girl sprang from the
bed with q scream, tore open the dore, and fell
in Mysteries into the hall. The lesson was ever
more instructive than the mistress had de-
signed, but when the girls fears were Gained
she said to her:
"You did not hesitate to tell NV delicate
child, who could not possibly know that 1t was
q lie, cruel story of bear under her bed; and
now when treat you to the same kind Of q
slumber-stOry you are nearly frightened to
DEATH Tomorrow You can go into the kitchen
and work; You are not fit to care for little chill
dren."
How many children are there who eyery nicht
OF their lives are frightened to sleep.

The same two women met In the same car
again yesterday, but alas! how changed the
situation! They stared fri9idly at each other
without even nod, and they would not sit on

They say that yOnder rock once lowered
Upon wide and grassy plain,
Lord OF the Land, until the sea
Uourped his green Domain:
Ye: now remembering the fair scene
Where once he re.sned without endeavor,
The great rock in tie ocean stands
And battles With the waves forever.
How Oft, o rock. must visit thee
Sweet visions of the ancient calm
All amOrOuS with birds and bees,
And OdOrOuS with balm!
ish me, the terrOrs OF the time
When the grim wrinkied sea advances,
And winds and waves with direful cries
Arouse thee from thy happy frances!
To no soft tryst they waken thee,
NO sunny scene OF perfect rest,
But TO the raging seas vanguard
laundering against thy breast:
No singing birds are round thee, now,
But the wild winds, the roaring surgeS,
And gladly would they hurl thee down
And mock thee in eternal dirgeS.
But be II thine to conquer them;
And may thy firm-enduring form
Still frOwn upon the hurricane,
Still grandly front the storm:
And While the tall ships come and go,
And come and go the generations,
May thy proud presence yet remain
A wonder unto all the nations.
Sometimes. perchance, o lonely rock.
Thou mayeSt regain thine ancient seat
Maye-t see once more the meadow shine,
And hear the pasture bleat:
But ali, methink5 even then thy braast
would stir and yearn with fond emotion.
To meet once more In glorious war
The roaring cohorts OF the ocean.
Lei me-, Ike thee, thou noble rock,
Pluck honor from the seas of time;
Where Providence doth place my feet
There let me stand sublime:
D Ire, IT'S very sweet 10 lie
Upon thy shores without endeavOr,

And battle with thy waves forever.

Save the Babies.

When the system loses its tone, any sudden
change Is present danger, even to persons in the
vigOr of their prime. But to children the
danger is more imminent, says the Philadelphia
Record They are very sensitive to superficial
changes, and must be defended by clothing, by
exposure to fresh air during the day. as we'll as
protected from draughts during sleep. The
common belief is that the less clothing put upon
an infant the better. That is mistake Every
infant should be clothed in light flannel next
the skin during the heated term, but not swathed
or tightly wrapped. The dress proper for
young child is of the sOftest and most elastic
flannel without bands or other fitting appli-
ances. Put the baby in a bag, but do not put
it in a fashionable dress during the hot weather
Particular care should be observed that young
children subsisting on mothers milk do not get
too much acid with it. A mother who nurses
thing for the good Of the child. The diet of the
mother determines that Of the child. When
the food taken is perfectly assimilated, the
child will have the benefit OF it. But in very
warm weather none but the simplest food can
be perfectly assimilated. Simple food does not
mean starvation. It does not mean privation.
1t means that discrimination between what is
nutritious and what is merely tOOthsome. which
confines the wise to articles whose assimilative
periods are about the same. The mother can do
much to defend her child against summer
dangers, but no mother can make q perfect
defense. Our purpose Is to suggest defenses
within the reach of all. The practice of exposing

weather without danger, and with much benefit

Evolution by COrsetS.

Many women entertain theories as to how

the deplorable result is that many hundreds
grow up just as nature fashioned them. with
waists as mOnstrous in size as that of the Venus

bosumed themselves in the columns of the Toron-

The New Montana Cold Mines.
IMissoula County Times.l

lMiss0ula County I1mes.I
There can no longer be doubts as TO
the discovery of gold, and a good deal
of 1t, In the Occur d'Alene. The min
ing district is not only extensive, but
the prospecting thus far shows H. TO
be rich. Charley Waller, who Is
known by most persons in Missoula,
returned from the new El dorado for
supplies last saturday. He brought
good news. The developments thus
far are promising. He describes the
gulch az wide, most of the way, and
extending for many miles. The
stream-Pritchafd creek-is gener-
ally heavily timbeied, and the descent
gradual. Developments will thus be
slow and somewhat difficult. Water
is abundant. About all that can be
done before Spring is to build cabins,
prepare the drains, aud have the
ground in readiness for next season.
Mr.. Waller was on the road five
.days-coming over the Mullen road.
He thinks there were fully 500 peo-
pie in the district when he came out.
He has full confidence in the diggiDgs,
and estimates that there may be as
many as 10000 people in the valley
next Simmer. There had been no
trouble among the claim holders up
to the time of his departure. He
thought the Heron route TO the mines
would be the most passible in all re-
spects. Mr.. Waller started back last
Monday morning with tools and sup
plies. He stated that most of the pros.
pectors and miners now on the ground
were from the West. Pritchard creek
is u branch of the Occur d'Alene, and
Pritchard's place is several miles
from its mouth. There were two
stores in the gulch when Mr.. Waller
came out. Flour was. only $40 per
hundred, and bacon from twenty
five 10 fifty cents per pound. The
gulch has a low altitude, and is said
to have a warmer temperature than
the valleys OF Missoula county, but
snow falls deep in Winter.
