the name of the old camp ground is re- apperiug in this campaign. Gov Harri- son was raised to the rank of major gen. eral during the war ofslSl2 and after ward had the experience of membership in both branches of Congress. President Jackson's elevation to office brought him back from Colombia. where he was min- ister plenipotentiary and he retired to his farm on the Ohio river below Cincinnati. Jackson's success induced the Wings to take up a military man for the campaign of lS40 and Harrison's success during the war of 1872 had made him popular throughout the new West. The exciting canvass that followed his nomination first brought mass meetings and political processions into general use.

A YEARS COMEDY.

Twas April, when the brown birds sing.
And woods with bursting buds are gray;
We met-and watched the face OF Spring
Growing more lovely every day.
Before tue woods were green. or half
The blue eggs Matched, one sunny morning
We found that we were made to laugh,
You at my love, at your scorning.
When Summer, with her rose ablaze,
Passed over all the tranced earth
We found the sumptuous burning days
Too stately for such trivial mirth
And ere July had well passed by
We fell in love with melancholy,
And dreamed that we were made TO sigh,
at my woe, you at my folly.
We walked where woods were red and brown,
When Autumn crowned the hills with gold;
And while the leaves came rustling down,
Loves story. once again. was told
September's sun was gold above
The full earth's fruitful, golden dover;
We knew that we were made to love
I to love you-and you. your power
But when, through paths made dead with snow,
BY gray brown lichen-covered trees,
One happy day we CHANGED to go
. Under blue sky and biting breeze,
You slipped--I turned-a hand to give
A hand to kiss-the play was over!
We vowed that We were made to live,
for my Love-you for your lover.

Vain remorse or sick foreboding-
Rise above them all to-day.
Ger the death of sin triumphant
Go thou forth TO life and light,
Gifted with the crown eternal
And the matchless garment white
Yonder is thy Fathers glory,
Yonder. soul-reylving air,
And the ways of love that blossom
For the faithful everywhere.
In the most bewildering dangers
That thy timid heart can meet
Do not fear to lose pathway
Marked by Jesus wounded feet.
Soon shall come another morning

When from off celestial visions
Shall the clouds of earth be drawn.
Parted from surrounding shadows,
Thou shalt fly through spaces dim,
Following thy risen Saviour,
And forever rest with Him

Daily Yellowstone journal., 1888-12-21

The question of the duration Of
dreams has recently been discussed in
Germany, among others by DIR. +.
Scholz, who has given some striking
examples from his W experience and
observation. 1t is not possible to give
a definite answer, and probably
enough dreams vary much in point Of
duration, just as they vary in force
and vividness. At M time the figures
Of a dream, whether they emerge from
the horn or the ivory gate, are as real
as in life; the sorrow is even more in
tense, the happiness more realistic. At
another time they seem TO live only in
a pale moonlight, and we watch the
scenes rather than participate in
them. II is very certain, however,
hat the majority Of dreams are Only
Of momentary duration, though en-
tended occasionally to the length Of a
minute.
In proof of this DR.. Scholz tells the
following story from his experience:
after excessive bodily fatigue and a
day of mental strain. of a not disagree
