TWO PAIRS OF EYES.

Grandmamma's eyes are dim and old,
They look through spectacles trimmed with gold
Goldilocks eyes are bright and new.
Curling lashes they sparkle through.
Grandmsmma's eyes grow tired soon,
And close full oft in an afternoon.
Goidilocks' eyes scarce droop the lid,
Only at night is their laughter hid.
Grandmamma's eyes have faded grown,
Goldilocks blue as the heavens own,
Grandmamma's eyes were once as bright;
Whence has faded their life and light!
Grandmamma's eyes have helped her take
Many a stitch for dear loves sake.
Grandmammas eyes. with patience mild,
Have watched all night with sleepless child
Grandmamma's have often wept
With mourning hearts, while the slow days crept
Thus have faded Grandmamma's eyes:
Hardly a sparkle within them lies.
Goldilocks' eyes must, too, grow dim,
Lose the sunlight with which they brim.
May their brightness, when dimmed at last
Not in the service of self have past!
But sweetly, tenderly, day by day,
May they grow old in Grandmamma's way!
Ellen p. Talbot, in Womdn's Journal
Wichita eagle., 1889-02-28
Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. Feb. 27.-Just a moderate bus
mess was transacted in wheat today and
the feeling was d little nervous with prices
ruling lower tnan yesterdays closing.
Some little outside business was done, but
trading was chiefly local. No new devel-
Dpments though it was claimed that May
wheat was selling up more easily. The
opening was 1l(d15c lower than yesterday s
closing, advanced &c and then declined
nc. rallied 12sc and closed about 11sc
lower than Yesterdays closing, advanced
&c and then declined &c, rallied l%c and
closed about nc lower than yesterday.
The early weakness was influenced by
rather free speculative offerings. helped
some by the change in the tone of the Llv-
erpool advices. which quoted a dull feel
ing and lower prices. The subsequent
advance to outside prices was Influenced
by rumor that the market in Paris
was excited and the statistical situation
growing stronger. There We're also some
rumors afioat to the effect that the parties
who had been known to be interested on
the bull side had made financial arrange
rnents to pay for all cash wheat to be de-
livered May l.
There was very little interest manifested
in corn, in fact the pit was dull and neg
lected. Fluctuations were limited to 1sc
range.
Oats were less active and fluctuations
