tBY MRS. ELLA AUGUSTA HUBLER.1
We met in fashions dazzling splendor,
Your face was radiant as the snow,
So chRrmingly and yet so tender, .
And that was just 1--WE years ago.
loved you as I loved none other;
You dwelt in fashions brightest blaze;
l ranked as your devoted over;
Amidst the grand l sought your praise.
Time sped along in happy leisure,
II seemed so like a summer glow,
In fondest hopes of earthly pleasure:
That was about ten.yeaTs ago.
Amidst our circle came a stranger,
He lured away the hand of thine;
In dark despair / felt the danger
OF losing one that should be mine.
You welded one of rank and title;
Your love on him did not bestow;
Within your heart you longed to stine
Your vow OF fifteen years ago.
Your wealth and fame alone have persisted.
You drifted from your glittering sphere.
The friends you once so fondly cherished.
Deserted you from year to year.
Although l think of you with kindness,
In deep regrets of by-gone woe,
I grleve through your mpassioned blindnes
Ot nearly twenty years ago.
1 welded one OF humble nation,
Her face and form was fair as thine,
1 gave her wealth and lofty station
Or gilded halls and palace fine.
As like the shadow on the dial
VIII still reflect the bitter past,
Earth ave to you a adder trial
of deep remorse while life shall last.
Ala the ebb of life is flowing,
We are drifting in its tidal woe,
Our cause of sorrow deeply owing
To fate of hfty years ago.

A Yawp From Laramie.

The Cheyenne Sun says; "Col. A. T.
.Babbitt recently paid a visit to General
Harrison. The colonel is seeking the
appointment Of governor of Wyoming,
and he is not one of the kind who lets
grass grow under his feet" The colonel
is, we believe, the seventh candidate for
governor which Cheyenne furnishes, and
about the same number for all the other
offices in the territory. In fact, if there
is a single Office Cheyenne don't want we
think anybody else would spleen against
taking it.

HaverIY's Big Show.

An audience hat filed every seat and
most OF the aisles of the opera house

the newest and best minstrel performance
ever given in Denver, to start with, yet it
is not the minstrel show with which thea
ter goers have been nauseated since the
late war. Haverly's show chronicles a
new era in ninstrelsy. There is less Of
the copy of negro characteristics about it
than we have been accustomed to having.
1t is rather a new and pleasing picture
with an old frame.

handsome and rich, the Jokes astonishing

rendered. 1t is the handsomest setting
for a first part presented by burnt cork
enterprise and ingenuity.
Then follow the specially features, all
of which are seen here Tor the first time.
The first part is succeeded in turn by the
Haverly quintette, composed of Messrs.
Norcross, Moore, Norrie, Rodgers and
Tomaso; The Quiet Flirtation," a song
and dance nicely costumed and danced;

Say the doctors-and who shall say
them maya special predisposition seems
requisite to the development of rhehma-
tism. Where there is this tendency, most
Of us know from observation what a deep
hold disease takes whence once incurred
and neglected for q short time. Is not
this a sound text, then, from which to
advocate the early use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters in a malady so hard to
dislodge as rheumatism? Another thing.
1t is well ascertained that a falling off in
vigor, resulting from Indigestion and NAL
nutrition, increases liability to rheuma-
tism. What, then, is more likely to act
as a preventative-aside from its remedial
action-than this potent ~rectiier of the
gastric troubles that increase:the rheumatic
tendency. Malaria, constipation, dyspep-
STA, biliousness, sleeplessness, nervous
ness. debility and kidney troubles succumb
to this genial preventative and remedy.
