Speak Gently.

Speak Gently.
Speak gently to the little one,
That climbs upon you knee;
Its little heart cannot endure
One unkind word from thee.
In later years, it may, perhaps,
Know only grief and pain;
Then try to make its budding life
All happiness contain.
Speak gently to the little child
That Graves food at your door;
Hear its sad tale-fOr sad it is
And thank God you're not poor.
Relieve its wants, cheer its young heart,
And bless it on its way,
And he who notes the humblest act
Will you ten-fold repay.
Speak gently to the noble youth
Who strives to aid himself;
Oh. scOrn him not because he's poor
: In this worlds fame and pelf.
His struggling youth perhaps you can
Encourage and assist;
Then do it; he may one day prove
The worlds pIlanthrOpist.
Speak gently to the aged man
Who totters to the grave;
Perhaps through life he's been
A long and woeful slave.
1t may be that his heart-strings now
Are nearly rent in twain;
Wlllyou those quivering heart-strings snap.
By causing him fresh pain?
Speak gently, then, to every one,
For kind words cost you naught
Remember that your mission, too,
With good results is fraught,
For God will bless them to the young,
The old, and sinners. too;
And you will see in that Great Day
What gentle words can do.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
UBET, March goth, 1884.

ODSl, we arrived mere SAFE aIter
long and tedious ride. Leaving Mai
den at ago, Friday afternoon, we ar
rived at Spring Creek about 6: 90
in the evening without any incident of
special importance. Found the roads
between the above named points in
fair condition. After a good nights
rest, in one of Mrs. F. Days elegant
beds, and sumptuous breakfast, con-
sisting in part of hens fruit, fine butter
and delicious cream, [uxuries for the
Maidenite,) we started for this place,
and after II hours drive over a little
the worst road it has ever been our
misfortune to travel, arrived safely,
though nearly worn out.
In a late issue of the ARGUS was an
editorial on delayed Mails,' main
tanning that the cause was from bad
roads, high water, ere. To that article,
one victim, responded in communi-
cation taking the ground that the
cause of delay was "the don't give a
d" management, together with
poor stock. We have conversed with
several parties along the line, on this
subject, together with three of the
drivers and two or three of the post
masters, who are unanimous in
denouncing the article as maliciously'
false. After riding through the Basin
We are convinced, that the best equip
ped line in Montana couldn't make
time, or any where near it, on such
roads. In places the ravines are
nearly swimming deep, and between
Rock and Trout creeks, Ia distance of
six miles, the snow is two feet deep
on the level, now, where last year at
this time the grass was an inch high.
1t is our firm belief that victim has not
passed over this route this winter,
otherwise he would be more generous
in his attack on the Benton Southern
contractors. The only problem that
we have endeavored to solve is, how
the stage got through at all during the
past severe weather. Though the
roads are bad now, they are in fine
condition compared to what they were
a few weeks since.
Messrs Saunders and Thompson
had the misfortune to get lost in Sun
days snow storm, between Big Spring
and Cottonwood creeks. After wan
dering around for some time and get
ting their team into a deep slough,
from which they had hard work to
extricate, they reached Cottonwood
in safety.
We found our friend Mayor Bar
rows, as rotund and hospitable as
ever, but suffering from severe attack
of indisposition from which we think
he will speedily recover. He reports
cattle in his section of the basin in
good condition, but had to feed an
immense amount of hay to pull through.
Maidenites have been complaining
of snow, but could they see the pyr-
amids of ''the beautiful" drifted in front
of Mayor BIS executive mansion, they
would hold a jollifcation meeting
at their good luck. Mr.. B. has dis
posed of his mercantile stock and uses
his former store-room for a sample
and billiard room, equipped with
combination Brunswick & Bake table.
We leave here for Martinsdale this
morning and expect to find fair roads,
as but little snow has fallen this winter
west of the gap. Will write again
from the Springs.

Joseph WO1e Is building new
Kitchen in addition to the International.
The jovial DR.. Stone, of the Post,
dropped in to see us on Saturday last.
The young man who was looking
towards Andersonville, so long, on Sat
urday morning, was Dinsmore.
Keep in mind the party given on the
opening of the Day House, in Reeds
fort, on May 1st 1t is to be grand
affair.
Joseph Cole has returned from a trip
through Oregon, California, Kansas and
Missouri. He says Maiden is just as
prosperous as any place he has seen on
his journey.
A pleasurable little party was given
at the international on Friday evening
last. Our friends from Cottonwood
returned home well pleased with their
treatment in Maiden.
Persons troubled with catarrh will
find great relief in "Lange's Cubeb

Billy Myers was over from the Post,
Sunday. He expects Mr.. Mcnamara
home about the first of May. Nc. is
now in, the east purchasing a large
stock of goods for their mammoth
store.
Oscar Stevens, who has sheep ranch
near Cone Butte, beyond Ft. Maginnis,
has taken his band to Junction City to
shear. He will sell his wool at that
point, and possibly his band, which
numbers some 5000 head
Letters have been received from
Marshall Cardwell and Alex. Dodds, who
are now in Flagstaff, Arizona. They
have found hard times all over the
southern country, and will probably
return to Maiden during the summer.
1t should be remembered that this is
a free country and every legal voter is
at liberty to use the elective franchise
as he deems for the best interests of the
community, state or nation. Abuse
or vile epithets harms no man who has
done his duty, though it may degrade
the man who utters it.
Charley Young was in town Sunday.
He says the "Bamboo Chief" is chief
and no mistake. "Dont take my word
for it. Come down and see for your
self. 1 Invite everybody down." He
says one of the owners is so happy, its
problem whether he win keep his
mental equilibrium or not. Hip Ia,
for the Bamboo Chief.
Higley is the champion cross-eyed
ditch digger. He builds a ditch that
looks two ways for an outlet. Says
water should start from a central point
or focus in order to get momentum.
AS result of his experiments, people
down ON Montana street were obliged
to put on rubber boots and have life
preserver in readiness for the worst
that might happen.
A very good joke is told at the ex-
pense of one of our most polite and
gentlemanly merchants, in connection
with Saturdays election. He was very
earnest in his opposition to a portion
of the printed ticket and doing all he
could to stem the tide that was flowing
in that direction. 1t is said that in his
anxiety and ardor for the cause he
espoused, he thoughtlessly picked up
one of the printed tickets, gave his
name in full, and voted it straight.

Make the House Attractive. =.

1t is a common complaint that
farmers sons are deserving the farm,
Instead of following the occupation
of their fathers, they flock to the
cities and large towns to work at a
trade or to engage in a mercantile
life. One course of this exodus from
the farm is that the home is not at
tractiye. In too many farm-houses
the family-life is enc "horrid grin |, 2
with few pleasures and scarcely any
recreation. Books are rare, and liter
airy and scientific papers almost un-
known From early morn till bed
time it is work, work There is little
conversation or reading or music to
relieve the monotony
Unless boys and girls are allowed
recreation and mental food the heme
will become dull aud prosy, and the
energetic and ambitions, longing for
a chance, will go out from it to seek
a broader and more diversified life.
A happy childhood and a nome
associated with delightful memories
have power to hold young men and
women as with chains of steel Farm
ers have much leisure in the winter,
and if they would manage to make
home an attractive place, it would be
easier than it is to keep the children
ON the farm, and to inspire them
with love of their fathers vocation.
Farming is essential to national
growth, and enough to command the
services of the most enterprIsing and
energetic young men OF our day.
The Thanksgiving festivals often
indicate what homes have been made
most happy in the past by these
gatherings and reunions. a happy
home is usually an enduring one.

Profitable Ditch.Making.
Philadelphia Times.

.'The greatest opportunity for cor
porate monopoly and money-making
in the country is in Montana to day, "
said Gen. James S. Brisbin who
stopped in this city on his way to
Washington.
What is that opportunity" asked
a Times reporter
ut is in the power given by law to
owners of irngating bitches, " contin
ued the general. "The soil of Mon
tana produces threefold when proper
w irrigated Knowing this, the legis
lature, desiring TO encourage agricul-
ture. enacted law with the preamble
that whoever made the soil more pro
ductive was public benefactor. They
then proceeded to give the icrigatOrs
extraordinary powers. Anyone desir-
ing to build an irrigating ditch can
rum it through your house, II 1T suits
him. He may exercise the right Of
eminent domain over any but the
owner Of another ditch. He cant
cross another line. Added TO this is
the fact that the charter runs forever
and the charge for irrigation thus be
comes a perpetual tax on the land.
AS to the money in it will give you
an instance: There is a ditch at Bill
lings. Montana, owned by Herman
CLARK, which is thirty-fye miles long
and covers 100. 600 acres. 1t cost $780,
600 to dig At charge Of 80 cents a
year for each Of the 100, 900 acres which
It covers it paid $50, 600 ihe first year
I'd rather own the ditch than the land
it waters, and believe that the own
ership of such a ditch is the most lu-
crative occupation in Montana, al
though the wealth of that territory is
enormous.
