THE BRIDGE OF PRAYER,
by ELLA WHEELER.

The bridge Of prayer, from heavenly heights
Unites the earth with spirit realms in
space;
The interests of those separate worlds are
blended
For those whose feet turn often toward
that place.
In troubled nights Of sorrow and repining, :,
When Joy and hope seem sunk In dark
despair,
We still may see, above the shadows shining,
The cleaning archway OF the bridge oil
prayer.
From that fair height our souls may lean and
To sounds of music from the farther shore,
And through the vapors sometimes dear eyes
or loved ones who have hastened on
before.
And angels come from their celestial city
And meet us half way on the bridge o'
God sends them forth, full of divinest pity,
To strengthen US for burdens we must bear
o you, whose feet walk IN some shadowed
byway
Far from the scenes of pleasure and de-
Still free for you hangs this celestial high
way,
where heavenly giories dawn upon the
sight.
And common paths glow With grace
snpernal, 80,
And happiness walks hand In hand will
care,
And faith becomes knowledge fixed, eter
nal,
For those who often seek the bridge oi
PRAYER.

Two loaded cars broke loose and started
from Dell Siding, where a north bound
freight train was at work switching. There

forty miles down Ryan's Canon and beyond
Dillon. The cars having gotten under good
headway before pursuit began, came
bounding along past Red Rock Station
at the rate Of 40 miles an hour right
into the very teeth and eyes Of the
south bound passenger train, already some
time over due, and . horrible collision seemed
inevitable. Engine 33, however, was In
hot chase with all the steam that could be
crowded on. On they fly, the cars gain

engineer with one hand OH the wide-open

Mr.. Robert Wilson; whose mcther's house
was demolished, was blown out into the
yard, but not seriously hurt. He had re-
tired before the storm came on and laid his
clothing on chair, In hia vess pocket was
. watch. The next morning he found his
watch hanging to small limb ofa tree that
had blown down in the yard, the chain
wrapped several times around the limb. It
was ticking away as If nothing had happened.
Mr.. Stewart, who was killed at Daniel
watson's, was very fond Of hunting, and al.
ways kept his gun near the head Of his bed.
When Mr.. Stewart was found after the storm
his gun was found near him, but had boen
discharged, the entire load passing through

In one place we noticed large fat pine
log, which would weigh at least |, 1000 pounds,
which was taken up from the ground where

No man can freeze himself into catarrh.
In cold weather the hospitals Of our North
ern cities sometime receive patients with
both feet anG both hands frozen, with FROST
bitten ears and frost-sore eyes, but without
q trace of catarrhal affection. Duck hunters
may wade all day in frozen swamp without
affecting the functions Of their respiratory
organs. Icecutters not rarely come in for an
involuntary plunge-b bath and are obliged to
let their clothes dry on their backs; 1t may
result In u bowel complaint, but no catarrh.
Prolonged exposure TO a cold storm may, in
rare cases, induce a true pleural fever,
very troublesome affection, but as different
from "cold" as headache 10 from tooth
ache-tbe upper air passages remrln unaf-
fected. Sudden transition from eat to cold
does not change the result. In winter the
"puddlers" of rolling mill have often to
pass ten times an hour from the immediate
neghborhood OF a furnace to the chill
draughs Of the open air; their skin becomes
as rough as an armadillo's, their hair be-
comes grizzly or lead colored, but no catarrh.

Mr.. Arthur has the honor of patronizing
the tailor of his ideal In dress, Mr.. Conkling.

of q customer the President was. "The best

cally. "ie has a figure that is almost per-

moves, stands and sits In exactly the same

drop over at one time, square themselves at

He stands easily and naturally or his heels,
and his waist line, AS we call II, Is we'll de.
fined. His clothes fit without wrinkle
when he first puts them on, and he is never
irritable or unreasonable. imagine he is
rather fond of dress, for he wears more
clothes than any other customer that we
have. He has particular fondness for five
button cutaway coats Of any dark material.
They are made to fit very snugly in the back
and his sleeves are reasonably tight. They
certainly show his figure off to better advan-
tage than frock coat. In the matter of
trousers he is particular. They must be cut
in the military style more than anything
else. They fit quite tastefully, but are cut
straight up aud down, like the trousers of
the officers at West Point"
"And about Mr.. Conkling?"
"He differs greatly from President Arthur.
He has all sorts Of special IDEAS about his
clothes, and insists on our carrying them out
to the letter. He really loses half the points
Of his figure in his notions In regard to
clothes. But so eminent . man, and so
agreeable gentleman, has the right to have
his own way. The upper part Of Conk.
ling's figure is that of an Adonis. He Is a
great boxer and athlete you krow, and his
shoulders are square and muscular. His
waist is small and his back well turned. A
frock coat is the most becoming one for him
to wear. In the matter of trousers, he Is
quite unmanageable. He wears the most
extraordinary bags we ever made. He ha:

POETRY.
THE VOYAGER.
BY l.. FRANK TooKER.

Down stormy seas our straining bark
BY whistling gales is onward blown;
The tackle shrills, the timbers groan,
The rack is wild and dark.
No land we sight, no bark we see,
The Ice makes in the forward shrouds.
The blast that curls the scudding clouds
Is cold an cold can be.
Sometimes the moon Is red rs blood;
Sometimes the air Is white with snow;
Yet care we not, but on we 90
Across the kissing food.
The swift flaws darken on the lee,
The salt sea-spray is flung behind,
The canvas bellies in the wind,
The north wind whistles free.
And sometimes, on still southern seas,
We feel the freshening of the gale,
That leaves behind our path q trail
Like swarming, silver bees.
The bell sounds in the quiet night;
Through driving clouds the full moon plows
The shadow of our plunging bows
Doth split the wan moonlight
Yet still we sail and sail and sail
Through many circles of the sun;
Sometimes into the dawn we run,
Sometimes through twilights pale.
And though the wild wet waste is round,
We cannot sail for evermore;
There is no sea with out a shore,
Some port will yet be found.

Wrapped in calm maiden dreams,
Where the pale moonlight streams,
Softly she sleeps.

That in yon darklipg space
Shineth afar;
Never with soft command
Touched her willing hand,
Kissed her lips.

Yet doth my heart rejoice,
Owning her claim

Courant of mine may be
Lily or rose.
They may not bear TO her
This hearts fond prayer to her,

Wind of the winter night,
Over the fields of snow,
Over the hills so white,
Tenderly blow!
Somewhere red roses bloom;
Into her warm, hushed room,
Bear thou their breath.
Whisper-Nay, nay, thou sprlte,
Breathe thou no tender word;
Wind OF the winter night,
Die thon unheard.
True love shall yet prevail,
Telling its own sweet tale
