ONLY TOO TRUE.

John Vance Cheney in The Inglesidel
No blushing daughter of the morn
Can vie with her of woman born;
No face at windows of the spring
Is like a virgin poisoning.
Betwixt the blue lids or the sky
No orb there mate, q maiden's eve:
Not mighty Mar uufailing lance
Can match the mischief of its glance
Nature, how weak art thou to harm
As does a dear unsleeved armi
Thy rocks would trickle into sand
With tingles from dimpied hand.
What swaying shapes of sun or shade
Approach the motions of maid?
What snowy curve by winter traced
Caa take the taper OF her waists
And that soft darkness of her hair,
Thy twilight shades-ah, their despairl
Not all the striving stars beguile
As may one memory of her smile
That foolish lips should speak SO wise,
Make merriment from earth to skies;
Nay, Nature, drop a dewy tear
For solemn knowledge bought so dear

Henry Watterson's Newspaper Career.

lex Congressman Robinson in Brooklyn Eagle
At the Manhatt an Beach the well-known
journalist, Henry Watterson, of The Louis
vile Courier journal, attract n great cal
of attention. Mr.. Watterson is only Al
years old and undoubtedly has n career
ahead of him more brilliant even than that
through which he has pa sed already. He
was born in Washington on Feb l6, 1910,
while his father, Y ed int he wool Jackson
Democrat, who with his excellent wife, is
an honored celebrity of the capital. was q
member of congrcss from Teane see. Young
WatterSon was an especial favorite of Gen.
Cass and Stephen A Douglas
The first newspaper work he ever did
wac for The Stata, Judge Douglass organ in
Washington. He received n musical eiuca-
ton but never followed it up His instruc-
ton in the art, however, proved great
help to him in his newspaper career. He
became a critic AMI won his first laurels in
journalism in this branch of the business.
At the outbreak of war he gave up his
residence in Washington. He became a
staff officer the Confederate side. From
October, 1862, to 1868 he edited The Chatta-
nooga Rebel, n popular paper.
At the close of the war he and two others
renewed the publication of The Louisville
Republican. Watterson conceived the idea
of merging The Courier and The Journal, of
Louisville, and interested very clever
newspaper man named Haldeman in the
scheme. They pooled their issues and pur-
chased ali the other papers in the city. Then
they issue The Courier Journal 1t proved
a wonderfully successful venture. 1t is to-
day one Of the most widely known news
papers in the country. Not more 20, per-
haps however, than was The Journal under
the brilliant Prentice. Watterson was
elected to the Forty-fourth congress and
was member of the ways and means com
mittee. He declined a denomination and re
summed his journalistic labors He and Mr..
Haldeman put up one of the most costly
ard commodious newspaper buildings in
the world.

Rise and Fall Of Mining Towns

Laadville is one of the great mining towns
of the west which have begun to decline il
population. 1t is common enough for small
and little known places to die as rapidly as
they grew, but cities like Virginia City and
Ieadville seem more permanent, and APP
parently should escape the fate of less pre-
tentious places Leadville, however has
fallen from Il, $50 inhabitants i'll 1850 20
II ,066 by the Colorado state census just
completed. Denver, on the other hand, shows
the stability of true city of divers flied
industries and many resources, as we'll as
the wonderful growth OF the west. In 1880
Denver hal $4,000 people, and now the
census shows 81, 900, gain of nearly four
seventies in five years.

Red Clouds Speech.

The weIl-known Sioux chief, Red
Cloud, visited the Indian school at Gar.
Isle Barracks, Pa, and addressed the
scholars in his own language. A prize
Of three dollars was offered for the best
translation of this speech. Luther Stand
ing Bear was the successful reporter. u
We copy from ST. Nicholas a paragraph
of the speech as he translated it. The
result was not good English, but 1t is
better than some foreigners, who think
they know the language, could have
done.
"You SEEM" said Red Cloud, 'like
my grandchildren and now 1 went pass
through the shops aud saw what you can
be done. l saw the shoemaker, har-
ness maker, tailor, carpenter, timer,
blacksmiths, and they all doing very
WELL"
"Here. you see, wear boots which
you make it. was surprise that the
blacksmith doing very good. Also the
girls can washing clothes and sewing.
Also 1 went pass through the school
rooms, and saw some of you can write
very fast, and read, and was glad"
'Now this is the thing what we send
you here for, to learn white mems way.
There is two roads, one is good, and one
is what we call a devil road. Another
thing is, you know, if you do nothing,
just put his hand on his back and lie
down, so any dime not come to in his
pocket itself, SO you must do something
with your hands. Now, you must not
homesick any; but you must try to be
good and happier"

A Preaching Tourney.

Old, but good, is the story told of the
young preachers who were discussing
the subject of off hand sermonizing,
when an old gentleman declared he
always preached extempore and trusted
to the occasion for inspiration. A young
man declared he never did, but preferred
carefully preparing his sermons and
committing them to memory.
"Pshaw," said the old man, ''the rea-
son you don't preach extempore is be-
cause you can't"
"Well," replied the young one, "I'll
tell you what I'll do. Next Sunday we
will both preach extempore. I'll preach
in the morning from any text you give
| me. and you preach in the AFTERNOON
from text III give you, and wei see
who does the best"
Agreed. The affair got noised abroad
and crowded house greeted the young
preacher as event into the pulpit, and
the old man passed up the text, from a
verse In Numbers: "And the Lord
opened the mouth of the ass"
The young preacher pitched in and
graphically described the kinds and
breeds of asses, their usefulness, good
and bad traits, and drew q moral and
adorned Iale from all ne knew or aSSe-
ology. The sermon was a success.
Evening came, and the old preacher
assembled the pulpit, and the young one
sent up the text from the next verse in
Numbers: "Am not thine ass? The
old gentleman rubbed his glasses and
adjusted them, read the text to himself,
then took off his glasses again and
rubbed them and read the text aloud.
Then he coughed and looked around at
the audience. for the meeting house was
packed, readjusted his glasses, coughed
and repeated the text and, bending over
tie pulpit, said:
eyes, brother, guess lam"
