ANGRY WORDS.

Angry words are lightly spoken.
In & rash and thoughtless hour;
Brightest links Of life are broken,
By their deep insidusus power.
Hearts inspired by warmest feeling,
Ne'cr before by anger stirred,
Oft are rent past human healing,
BY single angry word.
Poison drops of care and sorrow,
Bitter, poison drops are they,
Weaving for the coming morrow,
SadJest memories Of to-day.
Angry words, oh, let them never
From the tongue unbridlcd slip;
May the hearts best impulse ever
Check them ere they soil the lip.
Love is much too pure and holy,
Friendship is too sacred far,
For moments reckless folly
Thus 20 dosOlate and mar.
Angry words are lightly spoken,
Bi;terest thoughts are rashly stirred.
Brightest links Of life are broken
BY a single angry word.
The Billings herald. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1882-1885, 1884-04-12

81 listened to the music broad and deep
heard the tenor in an ccstacy
Touch the swc t, distant goal; I heard the cry
Ofprayer and passion, and | heard the sweep
OF mighty wings, chat in their waving keep
The music that the spheres make endlessiy;
Thea my checks shiyered, tears made blind
each eye,
As flame to fame felt Tie quick blood leap,
And through the tides and mocnlit W. nds of
sound
To me loves passionate voice grew audible;
Again | felt your heart to my heart bound;
Then silence on the vios and voices fell;
But like tEc still, small voice within shell,
l heard love thrilling through the void pro-
found"

THE INFLUENCE OF MUSIC.

''Is it the moved air or the moving sound
That is LIES self and draws my life from llc,
And by instinct inciable dccIee
Holds my breath quailing on the bitter bound?
Nay is it Life or Death thus thunder crowned,
That mid the tide of all emergency
Now notes my separate wave, and to what sea
Its difficult eddies labor to the ground?
Oh! what is this that knows the road came,
The fame turned cloud, the cloud returned to
fame
The lifted, shifted sleeps and all the way?-
That draws round me at last this wind warm
spree,
And in rcgenerate rapture turns my iace
Upon the devious covcrts Of dismay?'

The Lewiston people have rumor to
effect that the Northern Pacific will build
over the Clearwater Pass in the near
tuture.-Oregonian.
The Lewiston people are now hugging
the delusion that the Northern Pacific
will build down the Clearwater in the
sweet by and by. How happy we might
be did we possess such faith Waiia
ITaH Vatchman.
There is no such rumor here, and our
people hug no such delusion, We never
put faith in the Northern Pacifc's doing
anything for Lewiston, after Willard got
the control, and hence gave up the chase
after that phantom, and turned our at
tentlon to what we consider more re-
liable source for help. We ask nothing
from the Northern Pacific. but to let us
alone while we work out the problem of
our salvation through other channels. If
our cotemporaries wont consider and pub
fish us as the silly fools to expect anything
from the Northern Pacific, which now
has bitten off more than it can chew, they
will show much more respect for our
sagacity and wisdom. We are steadily
advancing in prosperity without railroad
booms, and none Of our people have yet
committed suicide on account of the sud
den fluctuatiun in the price of real estate
or sudden co. 4re in business. We feel
the hard times but we keep doing and
grumble as little as possible and are as
lenient to our debtors as possible and hope
to see money easier when We can get
market with our abundant surplus crops.
Our producing capacity We know cant
be discounted, and when others fail they
have to come whore we are, and in
meantime We can live on our own pro-
auctions.

Money-Making Coeur-d'Alener

A Helena man left that place for the
Occur d Aene Il few weeks ago. He
carried with him a ten-gallon keg of
whisky, which he packed all the way
TO the mines on his back. In this ven
ture he invested his little ALL But his
enterprise was crowned with the sue
cess which some of the free spirits at
the mines evidently believed it de-
served, for he is said to have made
$1,000, and to be preparing to return
to the mines with large quantity of
whisky, purchased with the profits of
his first Investment. have seen $50
a quart paid for vile stuff that |
wouldn't drink for $50 a gill. There
is nothing out here like the sale of
something to drink to put man be-
yOnd the reach of want, and finally
land him among the millionaires.
A couple of enterprising Swedes
have developed new transportation
scheme which is nearly as profitable as
whisky for the present. They have q
number of dogs which they brought
from Sweden and have started q dog
train from Trout Creek to Eagle City,
by which articles are transported at
prices which even for a new mining
country may be characterized as
''fiendish." But their rates are sub
mitted to without murmur and they
are fast becoming rich.-Mttes City

Footsteps.

Whatever footprints may by great
men be left upon the tickle sands OF
time until wave from the sea OF obi
won blot them out, are marked by
characteristics which are fondly sup
posed to arise from the natural charac-
teristics of the honored feet which
make them; while as a matter OF fact
these impressions, like those upon ac-
tual sea beaches, are more exact repre-
sentations of the shape of the conven-
tional boot than of the member it de-
fends and incloses. The leather or
prunella with which convention or con-
venience clothes the foot takes from
footprints almost all trace of lndlvld-
uality, but from the foOtstep nothing
short of the severest physical accident
can remove its distinctive character.
He is an exceedingly clever and we'll
trained actor who can habitually dis
guise his walk, and even when the
general gait is carefully changed, the
tell-tale step goes on with its persist
ent and implacable revelation of char
| actcr.
1t is perhaps strange that detective
science has not made more use of the
step as means of discovery and iden-
tification, or more exactly, it would be
strange were not detective science
still in SO crude and unpromising an
infancy. The step is even more diff
cult to disguise than the hand, a man.

The British Hangnan.

A contributor writes to the ndon
Standard: 1t is probably painful to be
hanged at all. but it must be positively
revolving to be executed by MIR. Bar
tholomew Binns. Ipass over the feel
ings of n sensitive murderer at being
strung up by n man with such i name,
like that of the hero of music-hall
ditty; but, seriously, how long is this
state of affairs revealed in your report
= this morning of the execution ut Kirk
dale prison to be permitted to continue? ?
Binns arrives at the prison drunk;
he is in a tipsy sleep, and violent when
awakened; he will not give up his ap-
pliance to his assistant; he is only
quieted by the entrance of the police;
the governor of the Jail testiics that
he has no idea of executing man
scientifically; the doctor considers
there were several defects in the way
in which the execution was carried out;
and finally, the jury severely censure
this incompetent hangman, who there
upon goes off to exhibit the instru-
ments of his ghastly trade in public
house.
AS for the long drop, that Warburton
says: MAY be thought the height of
the hangman's charity who waits for
your clothes;" but it is quite evident
that Mr.. Binns takes so many drops
too much. and is SO incompetent that
his continuance in his office will be IL
public scandal. No one hankers to be
hanged; but the least we can do for
neSSieaIrS aSSdS5tUS is to invest the pain
ful operation with as little bungling as
possible.
