THE DYING HOUSE.

She is dead; her house is dying;
Round its long g-deserted door.
From the hillside and the moor,
Swell the autumn breezes, signing.
Closer TO its windows press
fine-tree boughs in mute cares;
Wind-sown seeds in silence come.
Root, and grow, and bud, and bloom;
Year by year, kind Natures grace,
Wraps and shields her dwelling place.
She who loved all things that grew,
Talked with every bird that few,
Brought each creature to her feet
With persuasive accents sweet;
Now her voice is hushed and gone.
Yet the birds and bees keep on.
o, tho JOY, the love. the glee,
Sheltered once by that roof -treel
Song and dance and serenade,
Joyous jests by maskers played;
Passionate whispers on the stairs,
Hopes unspoken, voiceless prayers:
Greetings that repreSsed loves theme,
Partings that renewed its dream:
All the blisSes, all the woes,
Youths brief hour Of springtime knows.
All have died into the past.
Perish too the house at Iastl
Vagrant children come and go
Meath the windows, murmuring low;
Peering with impatient eye
For a ghostly mystery.
Some n fabled secret tell,
Others touch the soundless bell.
Then with hurrying steps retreat
From the echo Of their feet.
Or perchance there wander near
Quests who once held revel here.
Some live DER again the days
VI their loves first stolen gaze;
Or some sad soul, looking in,
Calls back hours of blight or sin.
Glad il her mute life may share
In the sheltering silence there.
u what cheeks might blanch with fears
Had walls tongues, as they have earsl
Silent house with close locked doors.
GHOSTS and memories haunt thy floorsl
Not web of circumstance
Woven here into romance
Fer can perish; many thread
Must survive when thou art dead.
Children's children shall not know
How their doom of joy or woe
Was determined ere their birth,
Meath this roof that drops to earth.
by some love-tie here create,
Or hereditary hate,
Or.some glance whose bliss or strife
Was the climax OF life,
though its last dumb witness falls
With the crumbling OF these walls.

Secretary Mccormack has kept
silent as to his treat

business that was going IA ct the Church
headquarters, just on. account OF the
respect he had for President Cleveland,
and for the sake OF temporary harmony
at Bismarck, knowing the Church reign
would not last long. Secretary McCor-
mack has always corlmanded the respect
of president Cleveland and the lterritor-
ial democracy. which is more than this
carpet bag governor has ever done. Sec

The River.


On Wednesday afternoon the Yellow
stone was reported clear of ice and the
water down to its normal level. The
water was falling at Bismarck. There
are reports OF high water in the streams
in northern Montana.
AT Poplar river the Missouri broke
last Tuesday. Ice dams formed, the
river o%yeraowed its banks, and the whole
river bottom, which includes millions OF
acres OF lands, which inundated for over
100 miles. There will be a great loss OF
cattle. The bridges on the Manitoba
railroad ore all right. Settlers living in
the bottom land have gone to the hills.
The water is the highest ever known in
that vicinity.
At Chamberlain the ice began moving
Tuesday night. The river rose four feet.
Six horses were on the Zoe, and owing to
the sudden breaking mp were unable to
reach the shore and passed down the
river. There is q gorge north Of town,
and there is great apprehension for the
steamer Last Chance when it breaks.
At Iankton the river is very low to-
day and free Of ice, indicating gorges
above.
At Sioux City on Wednesday q gorge
formed and there was another gorge
five miles above town and water was
flowing over on the bottom about the
approach to the railroad bridge. Yes

we're Wednesday.
