Goodbye.

How commonplace is this expression,

i saw q way.worn traveller
In tattered garmentr clad,
While struggling up the mountain.
1t seemed that he was sad;
His back was laden heavy,
His strength was almost gone,
Yet he shouted as he journeyed.
Deliveranoe will como.
CHORUS.
Then palms Of victory, crowns Of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear. Repeat
The Summer sun was shining,
The sweat was on his brow.
His garments worn and dusty.
His step seemed very slow;
Bat he kept pressing onward,
For he was vending homo;
Still shouting as he iourneyed.
Deliverancc will come.
The songsters in the arbor
That stood beside the way
Attracted his attention.
Inviting his delay;
His watchword being "Onwardl"
Tie stopped his ears and ran.
Still shouting as he journsyed,
Deliverance will como.
I saw him in the evening,
The sun wsa bending low.
He'd ovettorped the mountain.
And reached the vale below;
He saw the golden city-
His everlasting home
And shouted loud, Hosanns:
Delivsrance will ccme.
While gazing on the city.
Just Ger the narrow food,
A band Of holy angels
Came from the throne Of God;
They Bore him ON their pinions
Safe DER the dashing foam;
And Joined him in his triumph
Deliveranso has come.
I heard the song Of triumph
They sang upon that shore.
Saying, Jesus has redeemed MS.
To suffer nevermore;
Then, casting his eyes backward
On the race which he had run.
He shouted loud, Hosanpa.

Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1885-1890, 1886-08-14
THE PRESIDENT ONOLEOMARGAR
me.
lous f%rontiel

In his message accompanying the
oleomargarjne bill which he returned
to the house with his approval, the
President discusses the measure IN
all its important bearings. He knocks
over the argument about its being a
measure to benefit one industry at
the expense of another equally inn
portant and legitimate by pointing
out the fact that the proposed tax
will not check the manufacture and
sale Of the article, but will leave q
fair profit to the manufacturer and
dealer; that if the continuance Of the
traffic in this product depends upon
its being allowed to palm off a coun-
terfeit article in place of the genuine
it is not a legitimate industry and de-
serves nc protection.
The President makes the point
very nicely. II the manufacturers OF
oleomargarine had not tried to sell
their product as butter and had been
content to put it on the market on its
own name it is safe to say there
would never have been any restrict
i've legislation and no tax. They are
now paying the penalty for perpetrat.
ing a fraud and have no ground Of
complaint.

They will lay the old sage Of Gram
Grey away in his final sleep today
What a life was his! Toll SO inces-
SAINT that he could not spare the time
to take a wife. No child of his ever
babbled the first words of babyhood
to him; he struck from the first for
fortune and fame, and when they
came they were but Dead Sea apples
to his parched lips. His ehiefest
pleasure in life must have been his
growing power to handle men and to-
control them to his will. His home
had every luxury; he had rare books
and pictures, and his yacht waited for
him in the beautiful Hudson; he was
lord of a mighty fortune and was ac-
customed to the obsequlons greetings
which the world likes to tender to
great wealth; he was gifted with an
intellect which men like to pay court
to, and yet how barren his life must
have seemed to him during these last
eight years. His brain could not con-
troll the shaking of his hands; his
voice had sunk to a whisper; with his
brain as alert as ever, his physical
strength was gone; it was a torture
for him to meet friends; about all the
JOY he could have had must have
been in tbs sky above him and the
booke which placed him in company
with the illustrious dead who have
left their record behind them. Sure
~ the calm of the final sleep must be
sweet to him.-Salt Lake Tribune

Col. r. G.. INGERsoLL has taken the
rostrum again with Shakespeare as
a subject instead Of Moses. He de
serves popularity in his new departure.
It was no credit to the eloquent BOZ
that he went about trying to tear
down the traditions which we're made
sacred to us at our mothers knee,
without offering anything as a sub
stitnte. It was the act Of a bully to
pick on poor Moses who has been
where he could not defend himself
for several thousand years and who,
in his time, wore the belt as the
meekest man that ever lived. But
Bob tired Of butting his head against
the imperishable monument of Moses
and retired from the field.

If the reports as to the shortage Of
grain and grass in the Gallatin garden
are as much exaggerated as to other
parts of the territory, our citizens
