YOUR COMING.

now not, love, how first you found me,
What instinct led you here:
know the world has changed around re
Since once you came 80 near.
l yield thousand claims to nourish this,
At last the dearest hope, the nearest tie;
And looking but to You for happiness,
Happy am l.
How lightly passed the maiden leisure
That youth and freedom chose,
The careless days of peace and pleasure.
The nights of pure repose
30 swift a touch could set the tune amiss
So brief shadow blot the morning sky
Yet If the heart be made for happiness,
Happy am 1.
o love, your coming taught me trouble;
Your parting taught me pain.
Ny breath grew quick, my blood ran double
1t leaped in every vein.
Yet, ah has Time outdone the lovers kiss,
The look-tbe burning look-the low reply?
If these be all the holds of happiness,
Haypy am L.
You lend to earth vague emotion:
Myself a stranger seems;
Your glance is mixed with sky and ocean;
Your voice is heard in dreams,
The good choose is weighed with that miss,
Ny idlest laughter mated with sigh,
And moving only IN your happiness,
Happy am l.

Banking with tho States Money.
r<oe&o~ Tv,ko11; oouNor

Lancaster Intelligenoer.
An interesting case goes to the supreme
court from Lawrence county, the argu-
ment and determination of which NAV
throw some light upon recent state treas
ury management. It seems that a pri-
vate banker out that way had $4,000 of
the state funds from Treasurer Baily for
about eighteen months. He broke up
and when his bondsmen were called upon
to make good the debt they pleaded an
unlawful contract between the banker
and the state. The lower court decided
against them, but they have taken a writ
of error to the supreme court, and before
that judicatory they viii maintain that
this money, having been part of the sink
ing fund of the state, was loaned out in
violation of the constitution, under the
terms of which the money of the sinking
fund should never have been invested in
or loaned upon security of anything, ex-
cept the bonds of the United States. or
the state of Pennsylvania, and that in this
case there was an effort made to profit by
the use of the public money, which is for
hidden in section IA, article TX. Like
wise the act of 1874 requires the comnnis-
sioners of the sinking fund to ''apply all
the moneys in the sinking fund to the re-
demption of an equivalent amount of
public debt on the first business day in
May, August, November and February
of each year." and inasmuch as the funds
were in the bank eighteen months, the
new law was disregarded.
By his reckless manner of loaning out
the state funds, and the failure of num-
Der of his repositories, it is understood
Treasurer Baily was utterly ruined
financially; and there is good deal of
sympathy for him, and little for the
bondsmen of those who victimized him.
But if the courts shall add their con-
demnation to the bitterness of his ex-
perience in risking the public moneys
with private spectators, it may have
wholesome effect upon future administra-
tions of the state treasury.

Burlington Republican: 1t appears
to the universal verdict of the old SOL
diers and great many others, that
whereas, the soldiers who staked life
and all that was near and dear to them
in the grand struggle to preserve the
American Union, were paid in green
backs worth at the. time less than half
their face value in gold; and congress has
neglected and refused to make good the
difference to them while the public vaults
are overfowing with money, thus causing
financial depression and throwing honest
labor out Of employment; therefore re-
solved, that we are in favor of the Weaver
bill now pending in and before the lower
house OF congress, and respectfully re-
quest senators and representatives to
vote for said bill.r The Weaver bill
makes up to the soldiers the difference
between gold and greenbacks at the
time he was paid. Pass the bill and
give the boys their Just dues.

What the Prince of Wales Reads

What the Prince of Wales Reads.
There is story that functionary at
tached to the personal service of the
Prince of Wales was asked once upon a
time what the Prince read. "Nothing,''
was the answer. ''You do not mean lit
orally nothing?" II mean that his Roy
al HighLess never opens book nor a
newspaper" The functionary proceeded
to explain that the Princes reading was
done for him by competent persons
and the result served up to
him in condensed form. Care was
taken that he should not be ignorant of
matters which it was desirable he should
know. If this be a reproach to the
Prince it was equally reproach to Vic
tor Hugo, of whom the same story has
been told; truly, of his late years. How
ever, the Prince makes modest answer
by his secretary. Mr.. Francis Knollys
Ito be pronounced Knowles), that he
thinks Sir John Lubbock's list could
hardly be improved upon, unless the
"works" Of Dryden could. be added.
There is lady in London, one among
the best known of society queens, whose
reputation as reader is said to have
been based originally upon dilligent
study of Dryden, and assiduous quota
ton from him. The Prince has certainly
heard this story-there is nothing. he
does not hear-and his mention of Dry
den may have been suggested by it.

A Means Of Grace.

King David tells us that days came
to him in which, look where he might,
there was one wretched sight that
would not go: 'My sin is ever before
me-" When that distressing expert
ence comes, let us try to turn It to
spiritual advantage. Let us try to get
good out of it. We have been too
much accustomed to trying to escape
from it, to look another way. We did
not succeed even in that, so we had the
pain without the discipline. What we
should try for is that whenever the rod
falls on US, we should learn from it
that we should never suffer pain with
out trying hard to be the better for it.
You have been thinking we'll of
yourself. and your doings, when all of
q sudden your little scaffolding of poor
sticks breaks under you, and you see
with dismal clearness what sorry
thing you have made of it all. what
miserable mistakes you have blundered
into. what inexpressible follies, worse
things than follies. which bow you
down, and lin brieD what a poor
creature you are >" say to you, well
come this fresh and startling view of
things; turn to spiritual account this
painful exercise which your soul is
passing through. Do not take the
heavy stripe and be none the better for
1t. You will bear all this in quite a
different spirit than you have possibly
known till now, If you resolve that it
shall serve, it shall teach you what you
tend to forget; it shall be humbling,
trying, painful. yet searching and ef-
fective means of grace.-A. Il. II.

RESTING AFTER MEALS.
Suggestions Worthy of tho Attention o.
Every Sufferer from Dyspepsia.

Suggestions Worthy of tho Attention Of
Every Sufferer from Dyspepsis.
Hurried eating of meals, followed
Immediately by some employment that
occupies the whole attention and takes
up all, or nearly all, of the physical
energies, is sure to result in dyspepsia
in one form or another. Sometimes it
shows itself in excessive irritability, q
sure indication that nerve force has
been exhausted; the double draught in
order to digest the food and carry on
the business has been more than nature
could stand without being thrown out
of balance. In another case, the per-
son is exceedingly dull as soon as ho
has few minutes of leisure. The
mind seems a dead blank, andc only
move in its accustomed channels, and
then only when compelled. This, al
so, is an indication of nervous exhaus-
ton. Others will have decided pains
il the stomach, or q sense of weight.
rs if heavy burden was inside.
Others, again, will be able to eat moth
ing that will agree with them; every
thing that is put inside the stomach is
made the subject of violent protest
on the part OF that organ, and the per-
son suffers untold agonies in conse-
quence. Others suffer from constant
hunger They may eat all they can,.
and feel hungry still. If they feel sat-
isfied for little time, the least un-
usual cxertion brings on the hungry
feeling, and they can do no more
until something is eaten. 1T is almost
needless to say that this condition is
not hunger, but inflammation of the
stomach. Scarcely any two persons
are affected exactly in the same way,
the disordered condition manifesting
itself according to temperament and
occupation, employments that call for
mental work, and those whose scene
of action lies indoors, affecting per-
sons more seriously than those carried
on in the open air and those which are
merely mechanical and do not engage
the mind.
All, or nearly all. of these difficulties
of digestion might have never been
known by the sufferers had they left
their business behind them and rested
short time after eating, instead of
rushing off to work Immediately after
hastily swallowing their food.
Nature does not do two things at q
time and do both well, as, a rule. ALL
know that when a force is divided, it
is weakened. If the meal were eaten
slowly, without preoccupation of the
mind, and the stomach allowed at
least half an hours chance to get its
work well undertaken before the nerv-
Gus force is turned in another direc-
ton, patients suffering from dyspepsia
would be few. ..7
Aphysician once said. ut does not
so much matter what we eat as how
we eat it, While this is only partly
true, 1t certainly is true that the most
healthful food hurriedly eaten, and i'm
media.ely followed by work which en-
cages the entire available physical and
mental forces, is much worse than q
meal of poor food eaten leisurely and
followed by an interval of rest.-Joxr-
nal of Health.

gether.
The Dakota mosquito comes out OF
the tall grass. The tall timber may be
the natural stamping ground of big
game and candidates for the Legislature,
but the large, two-story mosquito tiocks
in the high grass. The Dakota mos.
quito has from six to eight legs
according to the season. They
first start up and then turn and
go hack down. This leaves plenty Of
slack and enables the mosquito to
rise up out of the grass and bite a
man on horseback without taking its
feet off the ground. This statement
was for a long time stubbornly disputed
by some people till at last our Minne-
sofa scientific friends sent special
geologist with a brow like ten-acre
field out here to investigate it, and he
spent q whole summer in running
around in the lengthy grass and as.
sociating with all grades and sizes of
mosquitoes. They now direct the Bell
as their official organ. to announce that
the horseback stogy is scientific fact.
The mosquito at this season makes
life burden il you go out on his range.
He bites and then gets acquainted with
you afterwards. Tobacco smoke does
not discourage him rs much as It
should. "A man from Chicago was out
here few years ago and said he wasn't
