A First Railway Ride.

A young lady we'll known on Wood
river, who was born and raised in Idaho.
and had never seen a steamboat or rail-
way car, recently left for trip south,
and much interest was expressed here
by her friends as to her first impressions
Of the onter world. She always evinced
such an even demean ,r that many friends
believed she would pass ss an old trav-
eler, but letter just received from her
escort proves that young lady, even
one OF Idaho's fairest, and one that can
calmly regard the wild Indian on the
warpath. is unequal to the occasion OF
calmly passing through the surprises of
modern progress.
She became skittish at the approach. OF
the evening lightning express, with its
great bull's-eye headlight, and actually
pranced when the train neared the de.
pot and blew long. shrill whistle. Her
friends could not quiet her or coax her.
and finally, rather than be left, they
blindfolded the young lady and by main
force landed her safely on the train.
The letter remarks it was fortunate the
windows were 30 small AS she frequently
attempted to get out, and could not be
convinced that the telegraph poles, the
hills and houses we're not all whirling
past her as she sat in the car, and every
time they crossed bridge she shut her
eyes, believing the cars were flying in
the air across the rivers Wood River

He Dare Not brink.

It was bridal scene. Tho wine cup
passed from lip to lip. One gentleman
who thought himself cured of drinking
refused.
Cant you pledge friendship IN a
social CLASP" pleaded the bridegroom.
II dare not; cannot"
Then the beautiful bride with bewitch-
ing smile and eyes that we're brighter
than the jewels on her fingers, held out
the poison to him, saying:
"Surely you will not refuse me?"
The color mounted to his cheek. He
faltered. He yielded to the circle of the
banquet. HIS first taste fired his Inst
and he ceased not till he was sot again.
A few years later, one quiet summers
evening, a wretched outcast reeled into
the open door of pleasant home, when
lady was Just drinking glass of wine
and allowing her little one to sip. The
vagabond sprang forward with maniac 8
frenzy, dashed the cup to the floor and
shouted:
Murder him if you will, but not with
that! Look at me! You made me what I
am. I was respected and honored. Ycu
tempted me at your wedding. Now,
there is not a reptile would not gladly
change places with. must soon stand

A gurgling sound was heard in his
throat. He fell at her feet q corpse. He

She saves 81 for the landlord. Three

costs us sixty cents; one pound of coffee
goes week-thats twenty or twenty
five cents, and pound of sugar for
eight cents, or sweetening meaDing
coarse molasses) for ten cents quart
stale bread you get two loaves for four
cents--that costs us about fifty cents a
week. If my wife goes to market she
goes late and buys the refuse vegetables
and potatoes. Then we only have two
meals day. Ian up and off before five
o'clock, as have to start all the fires,
and have cup of coffee and piece of
bread, and my wife puts up cold snack
and any meat that's left over from the
day before, for my dinner. The children
get along most anyhow during the day.
At night I have warm supper-a stew

l wear three cheviot shirts year, and
my boss has given me an old coat. which

NaDkiDd'B MISTAKES.

It is mistake to labor when you are
not in fit condition to do so.
To think that the more person eats
the healthier and stronger he will be-
come.
To go to bed at midnight and rise at
day break and imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained.
To conclude that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep in.
To eat as if you had only q minute to
finish the meal in, or to eat without an
appetite, or continue after it has been
satisfied, merely to satisfy the taste.
To believe that children can do as
much work as grown people. and that
the more hour they study the more they
learn.
To imagine that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better las
alcoholic stimulants) is good for the
system, without regard to the after
effects.
To take of proper clothing out of
season, simply because you have become
heated.
To sleep exposed to direct draught in
any season.
To think that any nostrum or patent
medicine is a specific for all the diseases
flesh is heir to- Index.

CONTRAST.

The bells Of Lent rang up, rang down,
Through all the babel Of the town;
Rang soft, rang clear, rang loud or low,
AS loud or low March winds did blow.
Through wide-hung doors the hurrying throng
Caught hint OF psalm and snatch of song
The high-strung song OF plant and prayer,
Ofcross, and passion, and despair.
One, hurrying bv amid the throng
Who caught the sweetness of the song
Above the turmoil of the street.
Turned suddenly her weary feet,
And through the wide fung.door passed in
From out the weekday whrl and din
"Call me ava, from flesh and sense;
Thy grace, . Lord, can draw me thence
In ferveut tones the singers sang.
While solemulv the organ rang.
"From flesh and sense:'' the words struck c!eal
Upon the strangers listening ear.
@From flesh and sense;" she looked across
The sun lit aisles, where CLINT and gloss
OF diamond fire and satin shone--
A princess rament, that had won
"A prince ransom in the past;
Across the sizes, then downward cast
Her seeking glance in bitter heed
OF raiment that scarce meet the need
That Winter keen and mercless
Brought home 70 her with savage stress.
And they, they neither toll nor spin,
These lilies fair, appareled in
These costly robes, while others strive
And mourn TO find themselves alive
Beneath the burdens of the day,
That leave small time or need TO pray.
Call me away from flesh and sense
When flesh itself seems half drawn thence.
"For you, for you, o favored ones,
These silken stalls, these organ tones
Her bitter thought ran, as the prayer
Floeted in music on the air.
"FOr you, for you, this house you call
The house of God; for me the thrall
''Of toll and toll, Fl ON day to day,
While life wastes sordidly away
In vainest hopes and dull despair
OF some sweet time, when one from care
"May pause and rest a little space,
And meet lte's bright things face TO face.
But faint of heart, and very low
Ofhope and comfort, l but know
"In these dark days the needs Of earth.
All else seems now of little worth;
And little worth your silken prayer
Against my wall of dull despair"

Crime Of Farming.

After all, perhaps it is we'll that Frank
James is to be proved innocent. As long
as he was thought to be guilty, he was q
sort Of hero in the eyes OF the vicious
class. His supposed deeds of bravery,
his reckless daring. his experiences with
the pistol, his wild. hunted life on the
highway elected the warmest admira-
ton of the rougher element of society.
Now that he is to be cleared, interest in
him and his exploits will wane. The
roughs will consider him no more than
themselves, and will transfer their affec-
tons to someone whom they know to be
desperate. Mr.. James declares that
he will not lecture when he becomes q
