Oh, sleep, my children, sleep!
Lie close together on your cold, hard bed.
What have ye now but sleep? The fire is

And there remains but one poor crust OF bread,
That against your hungry waking keep.
Oh, sleep, my children, sleepl~'
The timbcrs groan with frost, and crcaks tho

The moonlight glances on the panes all boar {;
The wind heaps up the snow against the door.
A voice l hear; outside some child doth
weep.
Ny children are asleep;
But thou, young lamb, wide straying from the
fold
Ipity thee, feet bleeding, numb with cold
Eat thou their bread-a morsel dry and old
To warm thyself, beneath their cover creep.
Sleep well, my children, s'ecp!
And thou too, sleep, poor wanderer till the
day.
What ve1eth thee2 Wilt thou no longer stay 2
How strangely gone No footprint marks the

But flowers start through the drift so smooth
and deep
oh, children, leave your alcep!
Come hither, come, and see this wondrous

Rough Winter 10 his bosom folds the Spring
A holy Guest to us the night did bring;
These flowers he left, himself we could not

Leave empty dreaming on your cold, hard bed !

Do heavenly hands unseen the table heap.

Reduction in Rates Of Shipment.

The Northern Pacific has recently
made a reduction in rates for trans
portation of ore that will commend
itself favorably to the owners of mines
producing low grade ore. The com
pany now carries low grade ore from
Helena and Butte to eastern terminals
at $40 per ton-a reduction of twenty
per cent. from the former rate. This
rate taken in connection with the low
rate from Duluth (by the lakes) will
render it practicable to transport ores
to Newark and other eastern reduc-
ton works Cor to New York for ship
ment across the ocean, at about S2I
per ton.
Important reductions have also been
made in the rates upon wool, hides,
and pelts-rates for carloads of 10000
pounds being $I,75 per hundred, and
S2 per hundred for shipments in less
luantities.-Helena Independent.
