agricultural product, what does the corn
husk predict this season ?"
"a mild, open winter, sir-the mildest
we've had for twenty-five years. Look at
that" stripping down the husk; when
did you see an ear of corn enveloped with
a covering as thin as this? You can wager
heavy odds that the present winter will
be phenomenal for its genial, spring-like
atmosphere and the absence of snow. Yes,
sir! During January your subscribers will
be sending you dandelions in full bloom,
plucked by the roadside. Just print a

winter will be marvelously summery, and,

A Remarkable Nose.
IChicago News. |


John B. Clark, Jr., of Missouri, Chief
Clerk of the lower house of congress, is par
ticularly remarkable foa his nose, which
seems to be cross between bouquet Of
bright-colored exotics and an Italian sun
set 1t is altogether the most phenomenal
nose that has ever appeared in Washing
ton, and this, it must be admitted, is say
ing a great deal 1t has the characteristics
of the that it subsists upon
air. but that under varying circumstances,
it changes its hue Sometimes it is gor-
geous purple, reminding the beholder of
of those splendid robes worn by Roman
conquerers and the wealthiest mobiles of
early Latin times anon it is fiery red,
resembling the ::confagration of a prairie
haystack on a dark night. Again we find
it a somber gray or sullen chrome yellow,
while at certain periods it presents pale,
pinkish tint with dark blue polka dots.
On two or three occasions it has assumed
the natural tri-colors-red, white and blue
but its steadiest hue is brick-red, with
beautiful mauve waves and a few splashes
OF bright green, producing at once a varied
anc pleasing aspect. We do not know that
any estimate as to the value of such a nose
has ever been made, but it is believed that
Mr. Clark must have expended large for
tune upon this useful and singularly orna-
mental member ofhis person.

Those who think Mr. Willard is dishOn-
est make great mistake" was the remark
of the senior member of Broad street
banking house. His action in transfer
ring his house shows that he is determined
that no man shall have an opportunity to
even hint that he is other than the honor
able man know him to be- The trouble
with Henry Willard was that he did not
know the shoals and quicksands of Wall
street thoroughly. He devoted all his
great abilities to finishing the great trans
continental line with which his name will
ever be linked though he should be left
without a dollar in the world tomorrow,
and he neglected to keep himself informed
Of what was being done among the bear
cliques of speculators, who stand ready to
destroy any property if they can only pick
up something from the wreck. While he
was providing magnificent road, opening
up the country along its line and directly
adding to the comfort and happiness of
tens of thousands of people, these fellows
were lurking in their dens about Exchange
place and watching for an unguarded me-
ment to pounce upon their prey They
had not Mr.. Wizards ability to organize
and develop. to create, but they had power
to pillage and they did it."

WE KNOW NOT WHAT 1T is.

We know not what it is dear, this sleep so deep
and still
The folded hands the awful calm, the cheek so
pale and chill;
The lids that will not lift again, though we may
call and call;
The strange white solitude of peace that settles
over all.
We know not what il means dear, this desolate
heart pain; .
This dread to take our daily way, and walk IN 1t
again;
We know not to what other sphere the loved
who leave us 60
Nor why we're left to wander still nor why we
do not know.
But this we know Our loved and dead, it they
should come this day
Should come and ask US, What Is life?" not one
of us could say
Life is a mystery deep as ever death can be
Yet OH how dear it is to US, this life we live and
see.
Then might they say-these vanished ones-and
blessed is the thought;
80 deatA is sweet to us, beloved, though we may
show you naught:
We may not to the quick reveal the mystery of
death
We cannot tell US, if ye would, the mystery Of
breath"
The child who enters life comes not with knowl-
edge or intent. ., -,
So those who enter death must GO as little child
rcn sent. .
Nothing is known. But believe that God is
overhead
And as life is to the living, so death is to the
dead.

Where the Gold Goes.

1t is estimated that at least $100,0OO,0OO
in gold now lie buried in the cemeteries
the nations, and the amount will soon
reach billion. This makes heavy drain
on the production of gold, but in addition
to this, the vast amount used in gilded
china and crockeryware, picture frames,
the walls and interior decorations of rooms,
railway cars, the solid dishes used on the
table, and the amount required in the man
ufacture of watches, gold plating, personal
adornments, and thy wear of our gold coin,
with the amount lost at sea and in our
lakes and rivers, requires more than all the
mines of the nation can produce, so that
without the coinage of silver we could not
keep up the amount of our specie, unless
we purchased it abroad.

Anxious is her love to keep.
