wave. Overcoats and fires were
again comfortable in the morning and
evening, and Gu the morning OF

This year the season opened rather
carly. March behaved very well,
and from the 18th to the 18th the

Not a Joking Subject.

There is one very careless habit Of q
great many excellent married people.
How often we hear a man joke his wife
about getting married a second time, or
a wife perpetrate the same sort of ghast-
" pleasantly at the expense of her hus-
band. They would not do it if they
were to stop and think but a moment.
| Did you ever hear u wife joke about the
death of her child, or her mother, or
| her brother, sister, or father? No, no.
But society is running over with those
who joke about the death of their hus-
bands. 1t is the most thoughtless sort
of humor ever invented. 1t is trifling
with the most serious subject on earth.
We decry irreverent passages in a play
or a public address. 1t makes the blood
chill to see rude hands laid on that
which is sacred. Love is sacred, mar
rage is sacred, death is awful. The one
ever-painful thought to those who are
| happily wed is that death comes at last
| to take one away and leave the other a
| lonely survivor. Conceive. then, the
hideous flippancy of that wife's CONVEX
sation who %speculates in jest as to her
successor. What violence does a hus-
band do a precious thing when he in
his imagination jumps over the grave of
his wife and dances like a clown into
| the arena of widowerhood, ready for
another matrimonial enterprise? The
world takes the proper view of this SUBJ
ject when it demands that the widows
of its heroes shall remain constant until
| they themselves shall be taken away
and that there shall be no invader on a
consecrated field. This natural senti-
ment of the human heart found express
sion among the Hindoos in the custom
of burning the wife after the death Of
the husband. This fixes the relation
ship between the two irrevocably, and
that is the exact intention of the custom.
1t would hardly do to burn the widows
of this country, for they are generally
w~ell-behaved and duly respectful to the
memory OF their deceased husbands. II
there ought to be any burning up in
this line it ought to be of the widowers,
especially the older ones who are so
suddenly ~rejuvenated when lOOsed from
the matrimonial tether. No human
creature is the butt of so much ridicule,
the object of so much raillery behind
the scenes in those very circles he seeks
to penetrate and bear off a victim. as
that giddy person known as the marry
ing widower of ripe age. 1t is only
when he is fortified with gold, and sill
yer, and precious stones that fair youth
full womankind smiles and surrenders.
He is hen accepted as a speculation.

A Tough Story.

Every tourist who comes TO Wyoming
Territory is told of the beautiful but
deadly Rattlesnake Mountain and warm
ed not to battle in the famous Clinging
Spring. The spring is in a valley of the
widest beauty. II is circular in form
and perhaps 100 feet in circumference.
The water is clear and two feet deep.
The temperature during the fall is of
blood warmth and during the remainder
of the year icy cold. The beautiful
spring entices the weary traveller or the
mountain tramp to battle in its waters.
But the pleasant temptation conceals a
deadly snare. Many have bathed, but
it was the bath of death. The bottom
which, through the pellucid waters.
seems to be composed of a white sand
almost marble-like in purity and polish,
is in reality Il sucking quagmire, and
once within its clinging grasp there is
no such thing as aid or escape.
Men without number have persisted
in this fatal trap, some with agonized
friends standing not more than a score
of feet away and utterly powerless.
While the spring is remote from any
high road, or even any general trail, all
diOuuu II 10 u IOtCt ntUltiIS IcSlOI.
Occasionally an unfortunate stranger
finds himself OF the margin of this fatal
spring. and yielding to its seductions
plunges in and is seen no more. His
fate is a mystery. and is very probably
laid to the account of the savage noun
tam lion or the ferocious silver-tip bear.
Indians relate that years ago a party of
red hunters found the spring at the
close of n tnilsome hunt in the early fall.
One of the braves decided to battle in
the tepid waters. The clinging sands
soon seized him, and he cried for help.
This was promptly afforded, one of the
Indians throwing him the moose end of
a stout buckskin lariat. The sinking
brave passed the moose around one arm
and his comrades began to haul on the
rope. They could not even arrest the
fearful descent. A horse was hastily
brought and hitched to the end of the
lariat. The good cord held fast, but in
place of the man only his arm was
jerked from the clinging depths, while
the crawling sands choked the death
song of the buried brave.-Laramie
