THERE is a disposition abroad, among
business men, to look dcspondcuily ON the
general aspect Of affairs, and to neglect
the useful lesson, thai in a dull season we
should prepare for the needs of a busy
one 1t requires but a small stretch of
the Imagination to see Cheyenne in the
light in which all Legitimate evidences
tend Ia place her. and the only real dull
times are in the too apt disposition to rail
at fortune, on the part of those who have

A Time When He Strict

Talking with him once about some
subject Of %casuistry or prevarication, l
put the question direct to him, did you

invariable manner before giving a cate
gorical answer, as if for an interpretive
review of his consciousness, he said:
Yes; but only once, so far rs | can re-

n rank chaparral, infested by Mexican
guerrillas. The balls were flying inces-
sanity. and the broad leaves of the trop-
ical plants were being riddled through
and through. They became par :
stricken, and Notwithstanding myfr
peated order for advance, they hung
back. Stepping some distance in front
of them into a narrow pass, where the
bullets were whizzing round my head,
and the foliage was being cut to rib
bons, called out: Follow me, men!
Don't you see there is no danger?'
He never posted a letter without calcu-
lating whether it would have to travel
on Sunday to reach its place of destina-

Monday morning. Still further did he

In lahurcd attempts at wit. aud strained
efforts at reasoning, the Republican press
is trying to show the cause of the recent
Falling off in votes. in well known Homo
cratic localities, to bee due To dis,atisac-
lion with the administration Of afair- by
the Democratic executive. while the plain
and self evident cause of such diminution
is ignored, or only c~oycrtly alluded To.
Now that the people Of the country. as
well as the president himself, secs the sui
cilal policy underlying his cratic course
on the freedom Of speech to Office holding
Democrats, it is d~eyodtly hoped that com
petcnt means will be employed at once to
wipe 1t out, and not to submit the canvass
oi lsSs to any such iug-handled methods.
The president letter f~orbiddins office
holders to take the stump, is the true and
only Of the great shrinkago in the
Democratic congressional vote, and it is
the wiscst policy to acknowledge it. and
the great error in it, and take immediate
steps to remedy it. BY accepting a posi-.
ton under Cleveland, no man abridgcs

ROSES AND RUE.

Dear, 1t IS twilight time, the time Of rest;
All, cease that weary pacing to and fro;
Sit down beside me in this cushioned nest,
Warm with the brightness of our ingle-
glow.
Dear, thou art troubled. Let me share thy
lot
OF shadow, as | share thy sunshine hours.
| am no child, though childhood, half for
got,
Lies close behind me, with its toys and
flowers;
am n woman, walked by happy love
To keep homes sacred altar-fire alightl
Thou hast elected me- to stand above
All others in thine heart | claim my
right.
Not wife nlone, but mate, and comrade true;
/ shared thy roses, let me share thy rue.
Bitter / know it. God hath made it so,
But from His hand shall WI take good
alone,
And cvil ncvcr' Let the worlds wealth go,
Life hath no loss which love can not atone.
Show me the new hard path that we must
tread.
| shall not faint, nor falter by the way.
And, be there cloud or sunshine overhead,
shall not fail thee to my dying day.
But love me, love me, let our hearts and
lips
Cling closer in our sorrow than in joy;
Let faith outshine our fortunes in ECLIPSE,
And love deem wealth a broken toy.
JOY made us glad, let sorrow find us true;
God blessed our roses, He will bless our
rue.
