MEMORY.

I rambled Ger hills and fields once more,
This bright and beautiful morn,

And their memory afresh was born.
1t is said that the memory is dormant alone.

That incidents supposed to be buried aud gone
Were only but hidden, hidden from view.
The places and scenes all passe in review,
The persons and pleasures enjoyed.

With feelings of Joy unalloyed.
My early companions. oh. where are they, prayi
Many sleeping meath the cold ground.
And many who are living and scattered away,
And few of them now can be found.
But the memory of those once knew,
Both living and dead recall,
Though most of them absent from view.

bullion holders might perpe'rate grea,

upon the working classes, and benedtting
only the bullion holders and brokers.
He said that "hy The act of 1873 The
trade dollar was made legal tender -
The act was passed hy Congress Re-
publican in both branches. He said fur

we could hear that very well; but the
worst of 1t ie that by the act of 1873 any
holder of silver bullion can convert his
bullion at the mere cost of minting into
dollars: and then the law steps in and
makes them legal tender to the extent
of IS, for customs dues AMI the like"
The Government, he said. had open two
courses-to take away the hight to coin

their legal tender quality. "The SIM

BILL BRADEN, a reporter In Lead
Vile in early days, undertook a little
prospecting, and struck 1t rich, which
set him of. Among other yagaries he
became enamored Of u vivacious little
soubrette who was playing at the opera
house, and arranged a unique and re-
markable testimonial to her beauty and
talents. AT great expense he procured
from Denver some twenty or thirty
dollhouse bouquets. The holders of
these he had weighted with a leaden
spike-point downward, so that when
1t was thrown upon the stage II would
stick In the boards and stand erect.
His idea was to p~recipitate the whole
number at once when the soubrette
made her appearance, and, to use his
W language, ''transform the stage
Into a bower of roses" To this end he
had a number or friends stationed at
different points In the audience, each
bearing a deadly boquet. The curtain
rose, the actress tripped on, when bang
bang bang! the flower-decked missiles
hurled through the air. The poor girl,
who had read something of wild west
ern ways. thought 1t vas a plot to kill
her, and fed to the cellar, from which
she had to be subsequently dragged by
main force, uttering piercing shrieks.
The Braden party were all somewhat
inebriated, and the more enthusiastic
fired their boquets with such reckless
aim that M of them hit the leader OF
the orchestra on the bald head, and he
had TO be held by two mel while the
gore was being mopped of and eIpla-
nations made.
