Emerald turning to gold,
Shimmering there in the sunbeams,
Shivering here in the cold;
Waving farewells as h tempest
Ruthlessly tears them apart,
Fluttering, dancing and ruStling
AS hither and thither they dart;
Recklessly sailing the rapids,
Lazily swimming the pools,

Underthe puffy toadstools.

Each neat little h~ousekeeper weaves,
And there, amid delicate fern sprays,

the clothing trade of the country.
The committee on finance reported that

10 is out of fashion, odd and old,
But 70 me it's worth It's we Rht IN gold
LOT my rather owned It years ago
when we lived in the farmhouse, long @sad
low;
Hex proud I felt, the very nrst day
rode around an the old red sleiRhl
You see It's mended, here and there
Where the paint has worn, and leIt II oaHe-
And it forms a mark for many tokeel
For it doesn't look like other folks;
But let them laugh and have their say
III always keep the old RED sIeigh-
when it twas young and knew LIES joys
1t carried loads Of girls and boys;
Aud one with sunny, floating curls
Was more to me than other girls,
And many Il word of love we. O say
In the lOw-back seat of the old red sleigh
Nancy and I would often ride
In the sleigh together, side by side;
And we promised once, when the moon snone
still
To walk together lIfe's steep hill;
And we took our wedding ride one day
Happy as kings, in the old red sleigh.
But the bows were growing smart and tall
And the old red sleigh didn't suit at all
And Fred at last began to tel .,,,,
How "he wouldnt ride in that old sheHi
And so / went to town one day
And bargained there for brand-neW sleigh.
It was light and fancy, and easy, too,
But we old folks couldn't make it do,
For it was painted and striped so hne
] never felt as if it was mine.
And in sp te of all the boys could say
We always rode in the old red sleigh
Those days are gone. Bright, laughing Fred
is sleeping the sleep of the quiet dead;
Dick has built him house on the hill,
And none CT the boys are home but Will.
He is kind to his father and mother gray,
And takes good care of the old red sleigh.
All, well, the ties of the past are strong,
And some may laugh who read my song;
But when ] think of those vanishing years
can not stop the falling tears;
And there's nothing on the farm to-day
So dear to my heart as the old red sleigh.
Good Cheer.

About nine O'Clock last evening Mr.. Page,
who lives just above the DEVILS Gate in
Gold Canon, heard terrible rumpus out
in his chicken yard. He took his trusty
shotgun and went out to see about IL.
There was brave old dog Griz engaged in a
desperate teeth and toe-nail encounter
with huge lynx. The animal had killed
goat and sucked its blood, and came into
the yard to finish It's supper on some of
Pages fine game chickens when Griz met
and aggressivelE interviewed him. There
they were rolling over and over on the
ground, Griz having the chicken pirate by
the throat, and being at the same time ter
ribly dug and torn by the sharp claws Of
the beast. Page dared not shoot for fear
of killing his dog; after awhile he man
aged to get in few good licks with club,
which ended the battle. The lynx was q
fine, healthy fellow, weighing thirty seven
pounds, and made magnificent fight.
Page is mighty proud of his achievements,
but poor Griz had to be sewed up and
CREASED and blanketsd, having lost most OF
his hair and being gashed and torn from

officers of the United States ship

at Batavia, Java, and was approached
by a forlorn-looking Chinaman, who
had sword-cane in his hand.
"Want buyP" said he, bowling pro-

no attention to him, but I, being some
what inexperienced in the ways of the
'childlike and bland took pity on
him and asked HIM his price.
''Six dollah,' said he.

could buy a swOrd-cane for much less,
if l really needed one, and declared
that would not pay four dollars.

one keen glance at my ''eagle," the

and brought out a double handful of
silver, counted nine dollars and fifty
cents out of the pile, took my gold

away with a placid smile and a bow,
amid the shouts and laughter of my
companions.
The Lieutenant then offered me his

A noted liar once told a friend that he
had at home three precious things: A bull
lock that could run one thousand Ii day,
a fowl which crowed at the beginning of
each watch, day and night, and a dog that
could read books. The friend intimated
that he would lose no time in seeing with
his own eyes these marveis. The man did
not expect this, as his house was some
what distant; so he went home and told his
wife that he had got caught at last, and
that tomorrow the man would arrive and
he would be disgraced. "Never mind, - said
his spouse, "leave that to me; it viii be all
right; only you must keep out of sight"
Next morning the visitor arrived, and, be-
ing met by the mistress, asked where her
husband was. ''He has gone to Pekin, -
she replied. s'When will he be back?' 'tIn
