asked her as she sat alone.
Her answer came as low and sweet,
And pure as some fair angels tone
The August sky slept IN her eyes,
Her hair was the amber Peris sip
While roses caught between her signs,
Were crushed to wine upon her lip.
There seated closely by her side,
Ipondered on my loneliness.
Why should she not become my bride,
My sad and empty life to bless
SO fair as she must surely stir
Beneath the power Of love divine;
And why not then make love to her,
Arouse her love and call her mine
I'll never know just what l said,
My brain was chaos. fairly wild;
She started. blushed and dropped her head,
And as finished. family smiled.

She said. her color mounting high.
And so only can repeat.
The seat is disengaged-not l.

Leap Year.

The new year, 1884, is leap year, q time
during which custom and tradition hoe
awarded to the ladies many privileges. The
name leap year is given it because it leans
over day more than the ordinary wear and
has 36G days. The calendar used i, nj, II,

Romans as reformed by julius Caesar. In

TERRITORIAL NEWS NOTES.
Worth Dakota Insane Asylum.

Jamestown Special: The frst series Of
buildings to constitute the North Dakota In
sane asylum is finished The trustees, ac-
oompanied by Maj Willett Of Chicago, the
we'll known architect, made an Official in
spection Of the building, and, finding the
work entirely satisfactory, received it from
ihe hands OF the contractor. The architect
commends highly the manner in which Mr.;
Whittemore (of Morris, Minn.) has carried
out the provisions of his contract; and, in
decd the solid structure, which crowns one
of the highest bluffs overlooking the town,
about milo southeast of the courthouse, is a
credit to jamestown and our great territory.
It is now ready for occupancy, and it is unfor,
tunate that the lack of ready funds makes IL
necessary that it romain vacant until the lcgis-
lature votes an appropriation to pay running
expenses. One of the conditions OF the bill To-
eating the asylum at jamestown was that the
plans and specifi should be submitted
BY the trustees e the for his S;I
and that the contract should be let
within twenty days thereafter. At the
time Of the February meeting for the
consideration of the various proposed plans
lnd specifications two of the three non-resi-
dent members of the board of trustees were
absent from the territory, having about con-
cluded that the provisions of the bill could not
be carried out; but the third, Hon g, w.
Pierce Of Cattlewood, made special effort to
be present. and fortunately for jamestown he
succeeded, and the plans, etc, were approved
n tune. The vacancy occasioned by there's
gnation of Dr. Hall has recently been filled by
ihe appointment OF NJ e. Foley of this city,
and now there is resident quorum OF
the board Only about 81 1,0O of the
first appropriation of $4,000 remains.
The building just completed will accommodate
but fifty patients, and there are ssid to be
seventy-fiye entitled to admission in North Da-
kota alone. In regard to expenditures already
made, it is sufficient to say now that tho land
cost $17, O0-all other public institutions Of
