AT CHURCH.

She's the dearest little lady,,
And her eyes are deep and shady
AS she kneels;
And her looks OF pure devotion
Show how true is the emotion
That she feels.
She is plnmp and o. so pretty,
With her no one in the city
Can compare;
OF her charms might make mention,
Her sweet eyes are like the gentian,
Blue and rare.
She has hair of richest bunting,
Softest brown, with gold eyes glinting
Here and there;
On her cheek a hue rep0ses
Like the heart of blushing roses,
Yet more fair.
o, I'd read page of Latin
Sooner than describe the satin
OF her gown;
OF its shade there's no divining,
So watch its silken shining
Looking down.
o! she's such dainty treasure,
l could never, never measure
All her charms;
So sit and lose the preaching.
Only thinking now of reaching
Her soft arms.
On the sermons speedy ending
All the hopes are now depending
On my life;
My excuse, il you'll believe me-
Full confession will relieve me-
She's my wife.

Since the first exploration Of Wyom-

uncovered. As these finds have been

the vicinity of Rock creek, where agents of

Something About the Grain Belt.

Something About the Grain BeIt.''
Field and Farm.
While we have been convinced that by
irrigation is the true method of crop grow
ing in this or any other country, yet we are
not entirely certain but that the rain belt'
will be success. Ithas been the past two
years, and may be In the two or twenty to
come. Without going into any scientific
reasoning to prove our confidence, we will
just for the present give what we have wit
messed and realized in this matter in the
past twenty-eight years.
When we came to the country In 1850 we
found upon belt Of land that now COM
prises eastern Colorado-two hundred
miles wide by four hundred miles long
that which Is now the "rain belt," extend
ing from the boundary Of Kansas and Ne
braska west, and from the North Platte on
the north to the Arkansas on the south,
three millions OF wild bufYaloes feeding and
fsttening. Here were more cattle than we
had ever before seen subsistinR on q like
space Of earth. We concluded Immediately
that the grass here must be very rich Or
else be very abundant Both conclusions
were correct. The grass was the richest
the earth had elsewhere produced and the
quantity was abundant.
Later on, when civilization came thick
and the wild bison was slain by thousands
for their hides and the grazing lands were
depleted Of the Wild grass ssters, then
