SO full of mirth and giee,
That every one who knew her said.
SO blithe and gay was She
hat il "A lover am to WOO
This madcap of the town
His fate he'd rue, for well they knew
She'd never settle down.
The sweetest music was her laugh
That ran in liquid t~ril's,
Halt like a song of birds, and half
Like downward dancing rills;
To melody her voice was set,
And though the world might frown,
She did not fret, but said: "'Tis yet
Too soon to settle DOWN.
a lover sought the maid to wed
And oh! what happiness
Was his, when, blushing rosy-red,
She softly whispered "Yes!n
With many n shrug and knowing glance
The gossips Of the town
a d advance: She'll find n chance,
Perhaps, to settle down!'
But happy in her welded lot,
With gladness ~unsubdued,
She made her home a blessed spot
For those in any mood;
Her children gayly frolicked round,
Her husband held her dear,
And sick and sound a welcome found
Within this house of cheer.
Time stole the roses OF her youth.
With much she had to part;
But, spite OF all, in sober truth
She kept her merry heart.
Such charms and gTnces she displayed,
W no wore the matron's crown,
The gOssips said: The merry maid
Is the sweetest wife in town.

We have just read over the ''iron-clad'
ordinance relating to the prohibition and
sale of intoxicating liquors in the city of
Fort Collins. We are heartily in accord
with this movement, providing, however.
that there is no selfish monetary motive
at the bottom of all this. We have long
been aware hat one of the most promi-
nent moneyed men of this city has "A large
amount Of property in the city upon which
he is holding trust deeds. and as he is a
member of the city council it is to his in
terest to do everything lie can to depre-
ciatc the value of real estate, 80 that he
can scoop in this property at about one
half its actual value. He is also inter
csted in a drug store in Fort Collins.
where intoxicating liquors have been sold
for the past five or six years. where no
license was required by the city council
of which said prominent gentleman was a
member. There have been four drug
stores i'll this city Of only $500 inhabi-
tants, and yet they have all been flourish
ing and making mooney but this iron
clad ordinance knocks the s%tuffing out of
the drug stores as well AS the saloons,
There is also in this city It club room called
the q. +. VS., where any mau who can
afford to pay $50 per wear dues. for the
purpose of keeping ON hand choice brands
of fancy liquors, wines and brandies. eli
gars, etc, can become a member and yet as
drunk as any seedy loafer in Larimer
| county. which ought to be suppressed,
if the temperance element of this city is
really in earnest about the matter. but
they are not. We are satisfied that a
portion of the City Council have a selfish
| motive at the bottom of this spasm of
morality, and that the other portion
believe the 81 900 ordinance to have been
a sort of freeze-out game ON the part of
| pretended temperance advocates in order
that the drug stores should derive all the
benefits and profits from the sale of
intoxicating liquors.
We are an advocate ofa temperance
reform, but we do not contine our ideas in
this direction to the sale of intoxicating
liquors. There are thousands of poor
men residing in Larimer county who have
been ruined by the Incorporate habit of
going into debt at the bank and paying an
exorbitant rate of interest, and we there
fore say that it would be just and proper
TO suppress any banking house in that
city which is charging from II to Is per
cent on money ut the present time.
We know of hundreds of men who by
i%ntemperate eating have brought upon
themselves the heightened disease of
dyspepsia who are a thousand times
meaner and more abusive to their families
than the meanest drunkard we ever saw.
We know of countless numbers of old
women who hold up their hands in holy
horror at the sight of a drunkard, but
who would not hesitate for an instant,
through the incorporate habit of scandal.

WANTS THEM DISMISSED.


Yesterday Mrs. Erbert Clark sent a note
to the Clerk of the Court, asking that the
cases now pending against her husband,
Erbert Clark, be discontinued, and a
LEADER reporter incidentally learned that
she sent a similar note to her attorneys,
making the same request of them, which,
of course, as the chancery suits are so sit
uated cannot at this time be done. One
of these suits is for a bill of divorce and
alimony; the other is to set aside certain
alleged fraudulent c~onveyances of prop
erty by Mr.. Clark. The criminal prose
cutions which are pending against Clark,
she, of course, has no control over, as they
are county cases. What has induced
Mrs, Clark to make this request, is not,
of course, positively known, but from the
fact that she has gone back to her former
home to live, and is now with her brother
in-law, for the most part it may be read
lily understood that they have prevailed
upon her to take this step. Whether she
is acting wisely or not, time of course will
tell, but there are many who will have Sc
rious doubts upon this point.

The Nuptlal Knot.

Two wedding cards were received in the
city yesterday, announcing the marriage,
at Edinburg, Scotland, of Mr.. w. R.
Swan and Miss Kate Trabing. The cere.
mony was performed just before the Swan
party set sail for America, so hat the
happy couple are expected to ar
rive here about next Wednesday.
The wedding cards are peculiarly unique
and elegant. They are in the form of
four oblong pages. On the first page are
the simple words: Cheyenne, Wyo."
On the second is Autographed the name
Miss Kate Trabing.t' with a line drawn
through it to indicate that it no longer
exists. On the opposite page appears
the words: Mr.. and Mrs. w. r.
Swan" The cards are very artistic both
in idea and execution.

Mr.. Lewis Dupree, City Marshal of
Greeley, came up to Cheyenne on business
yesterday morning and returned home in
the evening. Mr.. Duprec is the only
officer in the police line at that place, and
he is very efficient in the discharge of his
duties; in fact, he looks after everything
about the town from the hoodlum, who
m in from abroad and wants to run
the town, down to the small boys who get
to quarreling over their game of marbles.

The Colored Baptist church, of this
city, was organized some time ago, but it
was then thought that possibly two
colored congregations could not be rem
dercd self-supporting. For this reason
the Colored Baptists did not employ a
minister at the time. Since then they
have launched forth independently. The
new pastor, Rev. 4. T. Thistle, with his
family, has arrived here from GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, and there will consequently be
services and preaching at Keefe's hall at
II O'Clock this morning and 1870 o'clock

Office, in which Manager Rhodes was sit

ticket. Mr.. Rhodes eyed the man, and,
instead of giving him a ticket, said: oh,

ed at first, but he was equal to the
occasion.
Yes, l am the baggage man.

Grow creek, owing to frequent rains and
the melting of snow in the mountains, bids
fair to keep on a steady rampage. The
rain of Friday night gave it such a boom
without actually being a food, that con.
siderable damage is feared. The east
bank at the flat, south of the city, was
being rapidly torn away yesterday; SC
much so that the public road, which lies
between the creek and the fence, had
narrowed very materially. While a
LEADER reporter, Councilman Harring,
ton, and Street Commissioner O'Brien
were viewing the gradual destruction yes
terday several large pieces ofthe bank fell
in. The bridge a short distance below
was entirely encompassed by water.
