WRITTEN FOR THE BENEFIT OF
YOUNG MEN.

ROCKY Hook, May 9TH, 1883.
To THE FISHERMAN & FARMER.
What is woman? Only the sweet
Renaissance Of God to man. A
being which if the earth were desti-
tute Of, the winds would seem to have
no effect upon the human ear; and
the sun refuse to shine in his bril-
liancy, and would shine dim on his
daily route, from the time he showed
himself in the East, till he sank
behind the Western hills; there to
weep and lament at the loss of such
a jewel. But they are SO fatal
Does not their folly make their
fatality? Not always; not often.
The madness may be ours, but the,
low it. All! do they not know how
to arouse it; how to fan, to burn, to
lull, to pierce, to slake, to inaame, to
entice, to sting? Heavens so well
they know that their beauty must
come, one thinks, out of he'll itself
Women are so insatiate, look you;
though they held all the world, they
would not rest if one mote in the all
swan in sunseine free of them Some
have eyes that burn your youth dead,
lips that kiss your honor blind
Faces, my Cod how beautiful
They set themselves to gain your
heart, and succeed, and the picture
made there grow, and grow, and
grow, so your life grow into hers
until you live only by her breath.
Why do they want your life? They
may have rich lives, grand lives,
great lives all at their bidding; and
yet, know no rest till they have
leaned down from their cruel height
and have seized yours; that had
nothing on earth but the joys of the
sun and the dew. the falling of the
night and the dawning of day, that
are given to the birds of the fields.
Their sweet words and lovely smiles
will make your chest heave with the
spasms that with each throe seems
to tear your fame asunder; still you
them. your words go on,
your eyes fastened on the burning
white glare of the wall as though all !
he beauty of such woman glowed |
afresh there to your sight. She may |
De vile; ay, but not to your sight till !
90 late. Why is it that some men !
never love so well as when they love
heir own ruin? That the heart which
s pure never makes theirs beat upon
t with the rapture sin gives? Month

HOW THE GIRLS KISS.

The TarbOro girl bows her stately head
And she fixes her stylish lips
In firm, hard way and then lets go
In spasmodic little snips.
The Greenville girl removeth her specs
And freezeth her face with a smile:
Then she sticks out her lips, like an
open book,
And cheweth a bean meanwhile.
The New Berne girl says never a word
And you'd think she was rather tame
With her practical views of the matter
in hand,
But she gets there just the some.
The Raleigh girl, the pride of the oaks,
In her clinging and soulful way,
Absorbs it all with a yearnful yearn
AS big as load of hay.
The E. City girl gets grip on herself
AS she carefully takes off her hat:
Then she grabs U p the prize in a frenzied
way,
Like terrier shaking a rat.
The Washington girl, so gentle, sweet,
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss,
With rapturOuS warmth, and the
youthful souls
Float away on a sea of bliss.
Naughty Exchange,
The Edenton girl, the pride of the Bay,
Sweet, stylish and pretty,
Kisses, and not word to say,
And never thinks it naughty.

RELIEF BADLY NEEDED.


The desire of the people Of Wyoming
and of the entire West to secure patents
t. their lands from the government in a
reasonable time after the final receipts
have been issued is in no sense a matter
politics but is purely a matter of bust
ness. This is particularly true in cases
where no contest is involved. The simple
fact of the matter is that the general land
office is overrun with business and its force
is entirely inadequate to dispose with rea.
sonable promptitude Of the masses of
matter that steadily pours in upon it
Nobody disputes that the title to much of
the land for which final receipts are held
is perfectly good and that the people who
hold them have c~onscieGtiously complied
with the requirements OF the law. But as
in all government matters these claims
must go through u certain complicated
routine in the order in which they are re-
eeived, and as the legacy left by previous
administrations is a tremendous one the
issuance of patents is frequently reached
by painfully slow degrees.
The effect upon the improvement and
development of this section Of the country
is not overdrawn in the memorial sent to
Secretary Villas. The shaking up given
To the land business during the Cleveland
administration while it has worked many
radical improvements has at the same
time, in the very nature of things. placed
a sort of ban on every final receipt issued.
No prudent business man will advance
money on the security afforded by a final
receipt, for he cannot regard such a doc
ument in the light of good security. 1t
naturally follows therefore hat many poor
settlers after having paid for their land
and secured their final receipts are en-
tirely out of money. Although they are
in possession of their land, If their credit
is based solely on their final receipt. they
frequently find themselves in a most
embarrassing situation. Without money
to buy supplies aud without credit they
are often reduced to the most distressing
straits.
Secretary Villas has already shown a
disposition to place a liberal construction
upon the law. He is himself a Western
man, and therefore will readily appreciate
the difficulties of the situation here. We
feel assured that anything that he can do
to ameliorate the situation here will be
done cheeriully, and We are therefore

A TRAIN TRAGEDY.
A CoIsred Porter shot and Instantly
Killed.

Yesterday about 9:l5 a eolored porter
ON the sleeping car Oporto attached to the
flyer was shot and instantly killed about
thlrty-five miles west of Laramie City by
a party who is supposed to be insane.
Neither the name OF the man who did
the shooting or that of his victim could
be ascertained either here or at Laramie
City last evening. The party who did the
shooting and his victim were taken
off at Rawlins, and before this they have
both been brought back to Laramie.
None of the particulars could be ascer-
tanned last evening. Yesterday morning
before the train left this city the man who
did the shooting and who was a passen-
ger was heard to say: Boys, get some
body to come and shoot me, for | am no
good to myself or anybody else"

THIRTY DAYS.
A Man Named Martin Comes to Grief
for Stealing.

Henry L. Martin, who was desirous of
demonstrating the superiority Of a tree
born American citizen" as Joe Magsff
would say. over the children of the celes-
tial kingdom, wa arraigned before Judge
Fisher yesterday on a charge OF grand
larceny in having stolen a silver watch.
alleged to be worth $50. from a China
man named All Lin.
The defendant procured counsel and
made quite a fight against the accusation.
but the evidence was sufficient in the
opinion of the court to convict Martin of
petit larceny, which was done. One of
the witnesses testified to having seen
Martin take the watch cut of the China
mans vest pocket-he not having the
garment on at the time-at one of the
laundries in the city.
The court sentenced Martin to thirty
days in the county jail, to which place he
was conducted yesterday.

THE Laramie Sentinel las a long arti-
Gle on the political complexion of the
press of Wyoming, in which it fails to
include some well known newspapers.
From this summing up and and VI
knowledge of the predictions of those
which have been omitted, it appears that
there are ten Democratic papers published
in the territory, seven Republican papers
and three which may be classed as indie
pendent. These include BarLot0's Bud
get. the Rock Springs Independent and
tho Saratoga Lyre. This leaves but one
paper to be accounted for, and that is
OTIS new daily at Laramie. In an IN
guarded moment we were rash enough TO
assert that 1t was Democratic in
its inclinations. We were led into this
expression not SO much by any
intrinsic evidences of Democracy apparent
in the paper itself as by some expressions
which fell from the lips OF the polyglot
editor himself. As he has not 80 far seen
fit to make any public expression. suspi-
cions as to his political status have nat
urally arisen, and we cheerfully resign to
any one who wants to assume the task of
~unraveling the mystery. Since the pro-
fessor has resumed the use of apple butter
in lieu of ink with which to print his pa
per the mystery has deepened and we
quite cheeriully resign all further specu-
lation.

OLD JOHN ROBINSON is dead. 1t is
several years now since he was in active
business, but many readers who have not
yet grown grizzled will remember with a
thrill the youthful delight of old John
Robinson's circus. He was one of the
pioneers in the business and was famous
long before the circus reached the elabor-
ate proportions of to-day.
