After long years
Years and years
Whore will the baby's picture be?
VINO will those dainty dimples see?
Painting so fair,
Cherished with care,
I'm in some garret tossed aside.
~ one 10 gaze with love and pride,
Name never told;
Cobwebbed and rusty, musty and old,
There shall II mold
After these tears
Tears and tears
some little child shall find that face,
Ful of tender beauty and grace,
And eagerly say
That faT-off day
Saw to some mother young and fair.
Seeking her darling on the stair,
"Oh, mamma, seei
Who can this dear little baby be
SO pretty like me?'
Nothing but dust
Dust to dust!
Look, what pretty red dress so fine.
such funny feet and wee shoes like mine!
The mother will sigh,
And softly reply:
All my precious, we do not know;
some little one out of the long ago;
For years have fled
Since mother-love wrought the dress of red,
And all are dead y
Still, we trust
Trust and trust
And dream and flutter for day,
As if We had so long to stay
And laugh and weep,
And treasures keep;
And hang loved pictures on the wall,
Though time shall surely cover all.
But once up there,
Mother and child, grow wocdrous fair,
What shall we care?

Canadian Crops.

TORONTO, August 15.-According to the
supplementary report of the Bureau OF
Industries good grain crops in Ontario is
assured. Fall wheat gives an average
yield of 215 and spring wheat 1s5 bushels
per acre. The aggregate production ex-
ceeds last years harvest by 1O,5OO,OO0
bushels. There will be a good crop of
barley in the southern counties, but in the
northern and northeastern counties it is
affected by the summer drought. Grain,
though plump and heavy, was damaged
by the rain of last week. July oat crops
accounts as much as for barley, but being
two or three weeks late in ripening, has
been greatly benefited by the July rains.

A MISTAKE.

Has any one engaged this seat ?'
| asked her as she sat alone.
Her answer came as low and sweet
And pure as some fair agnels tone.
The August sky slept in her eyes.
Her hair was amber Paris sip;
While roses. caught between her signs,
Were crushedto wine upon her lips.
There, seated closely by her side,
! pondered on her loneliness
Why should she not become my bride,
My sad and empty life TO bless;
so far as she must surely stir
Beneath thepower of love divine;
And why not then make love to her,
Arouse her love and call her mine?
I'll never know just what ! said
My brain was choas, fairly wild:
She started, blushed and dropped her head
And, as finished, fairly smiled,
~ thought you asked about the seat"
She said, her color mounting high,
And so / only can repeat,
The seat is disengaged-not Iw

Wall Street Bank.

NEW YORK, August 13.-President

morning that the State examiner is still
endeavoIing to sum up the losses that the
bank has sustained. Some of the state

lost by Dickinson, and the manner in which
he lost it, Evans said, were true and others
not. There is no doubt that Dickinson is
in Canada. The excitement in regard to
the suspension of the bank has now died

THEY HEAR THE SIRENS FOX
THE SECOND TINE.

The weary sails moment slept,
The oars were silent for a space,
As past Hesperian shores we swept,
That were as a remembered face
Seen after lapse of hopeless years
In Hades when the shadows meet,
Dim through the mist of many tears
And strange, and though a shadow, sweet.
so seemed the ehalf-remembered shore
That slumbered, mirrored in the blue,
With havens where we toAched of yore,
And ports that over-well we knew.
Then broke the calm before a breeze
That sought the secret of the west;
And listless all we swept the seas
Toward the Islands of the Blest.
Beside golden .sanded bay
We saw the Sirens, very fair;
The lowery hill whereon they lay,
The flowers set upon their hair.
Their old sweet song came down the WIND,
Remembered music waxing strong
All! now no need Of cords to bind.
No need had we of Orphic song.
II once had seemed little thing
To lay our lives down at their feet,
That dying we might hear them sing,
And dying see their faces sweet.
But now we glanced, and, passing by,
No care had we to tarry long;
Faint hope and rest and memory
Were more than any SIRENS song.

The true inwardness of the order receiv-
ed here last Saturday to stop work on the
Anaconda branches has come to light. The
first order was sent by the Chief Engineer

that time General Superintendent Clark
and Traffic Manager Kimball were attend
ing pool meeting in Chicago and were

Confidence in Clifford.

Brookings Press: While we were in
favor of the denomination of Raymond,
and after him favored the nomination of
q different man in the south, We must
say that in the course Of our experience in
Dakota politics We have never seen q
nomination give such universal satisfsc.
tion as Judge Gifford's. While
be was really the first choice OF
very few, that fact was due to the fact
that he was supported by no faction,
and as he went into the convention the
candidate OF no faction, it is highly
probable that he will continue to keep
aloof from them all thus proving great
factor in restoring our politics to the
state of harmony the need of which has
been SO apparent for some time. By
bis nomination the capital question is
practically settled and division as
sured. We have every confidence that
Judge Clifford will demonstrate that
the convention acted wisely in selecting
him as the standard bearer.

Railroad Outlook,

Custer Chronicle: A party of Sioux
City and Pacific surveyors stopped at
Bolands, Buffalo gap, one day last week.
They were in that country looking over
q route from the mouth of the Cheyenne
river up Alum creek to strike point
near heavy timber where ties could be
secured and other railroad timber with
which to extend their main line west.
They thought the best plan would be to
run branch IN the neighborhood of
Tarrant's old ranch, the one now occu.
pied by Highlands, where timber is good
and plentiful. Should they run 80 neal
as that. fifteen miles, for timber, we car
confidently expect the Sioux City and
Pacific to have branch running to Gus
ter before the close of 1885, as after they
reach that point, through Custer Is the
only feasible route west. The surveyors

their object, but spoke very freely of
their plans. The Sioux City and Pacific

Sickness Among Hogs,

Sioux Falls Press: Farmer Hotchkiss
living about four miles down the river
from this city, lost six young hogs on
Friday and Saturday, and he is puzzled
to know what was the matter with them.
They were attacked with cramps which
pulled them together into a ring. In
fact they we're drawn into all kinds of
shapes, and suffered great pain. Some
would draw up on to their launches
and keel over backwards. They all
seemed to be blind as bats. Whenever
their distress was lessened they would
make an attempt to vomlt. As soon as
the afflicted ones began to die Mr..
Hotchkiss separated those showing no
disease or illness, and knocked the 9TH
ers on the head. One strayed away and
took to the brush along the river, and
this one, Mr.. II. thinks will recover. 1t
was seen yesterday afternoon in an ap.
parently improved condition.
Our informant was of the opinion at
first that the fatal ailment was hog
cholera, put being unable to learn OF
any other similar cases, or any cases of
any fatal disease among the swine in
this section, he is at loss to understand
the character of the fatality that ap.
peared among his herd. For fear that
it may be cholera he has taken advan.
tage Of all the precautions against the
epidemic and apprehends no further

self as follows regarding the situation in
Ohio: II met Blaine before he started
on his western trip, and I told hlm my
opinion about Ohio. 1t was that the
state is republican by $4,000 majority,
if all the republicans could be got
to the polls in October it would be
carried by them by that number Of votes.
There is no doubt at all about their
carrying it. The only question is as to
their majority. The degree Of the
momentum given the campaign by the
Ohio result will depend on this majority.
If we carry the state by 10000, nothing
can prevent Blaine's election. If the
state should go democratic, we are
whipped. There would be no sort oi
question, if the democrats carried Ohio
OF their national success. I don't think
the republicans are making any partlcu'
lar effort to carry Indiana We concede
that to the dem ,crats. -Four years age
We carried it at an immense outlay. This
year we don't want it if We get New
York and hold our strength in the
northern states which have usually gont
lrepublican."
