Comes DER the lea,
And shimmering hues the skies adorn
And gid the sea.
In deep'ning night when DER my way
Dsrk storms arise,
Thou art an orb whose peerless ray
Ilumes the skies.
Ihear thee where the silvery waves
Play ON the shore,

And though. dear one, thou art afar.
Thou dost appear
With evening and with loves fair star
To linger here.

HOW THY SHOOT RABBITS IN EGYPT.
With the falling of the leaves, the turning
brown Of the acorns and the hickory and but
ternuts comes the season Of squirrel hunting.
Walks through the woods are INDUCED in to
see what the squirrel crop is looking like, and
plans are laid for an early campaign against
the feathery-tailed little vagabonds.
In this country there are about six varieties
Of the squirrel. Of which every one knows the
cunning little chipmunk, and the common red
and gray squirrels. The flying squirrel is
scarce in the eastern states. but friend of
mine shot one in Broome county two winters
ago. The fox squirrel is also scarce, and is a
fine, strong fellow, large as a cat. with an i'm
mense tail. In color they are dark gray alone,
and bright russell beneath. These and the
grays are good eating.

off i'll the country at work on a ranch, where
he quickly learned cowboys duties, and To

At the end Of six months he had saved up his

Now ct the time Tom was speaking Gen.

the people OF Washington knew his figure well,

and a timid knock at the door caused her to
start, uncross her paws and listen.
In answer to a cheerful "Come in" from the
ladies the door opened, and there stood Tom
The STAR Boy, looking hitler, psler and rag
comfortable home light. But the bow wore a
firm, contentsd air through all his misery, for,
as he at once explained, he had sold ali his
STARs and was ''come to pay his debts."
The five cents were duly accepted with thanks
by the ladies', and then The STAR Boy stood
gazing! His yellow, unkempt hair fell round
his pallid face, and swept his bony shoulders
In damp, scraggy locks; his clothes and boots
dripped melted snow and mud in little dark
pools on the green carpet; he held his old soft
hat IN both hands and twirled it fast, round and

The STAR Boy was quakinG with cold, hunger
and fatigue, for he had been trudging about all

up and down the streets, through the slush and

After an off-hand parting from Patsey, and
Q fearful leave-taking from Piccina, he started
with one Of the ladies on journey to Col
orado.
Recalling the days when he knew what il
was to be without the comforts and Injuries of
life, Tom provided against emergencies and
laid in a stock of the things he considered
most essential to boys needs while travelling.
He bought himself a small traveling-bag and
got long strap, with which he could carry the
bag over over his shoulder like newsboy's
pack. Then he packed the bag for the journey
with these things: a large ball of Irvine. a
bologna sausage, two nails. five ginger snaps,
a comb, a pencil. big package Of molasses

. That, as stated in yesterdays TIMES,
We can secure admission to the sister.
hood OF States by holding a Consti.
tutional Convention, rat'fying the
Constitution framed by it, and sub
uniting it to Congress next Decem-
Dor, there is not the least doubt
The feeling of the people OF the
United States is overwhelmingly ia
vorable to the admission Of new
States, Congress is on record in the
same direction, and so is President
Harrison and tho platform upon
which he was elected.
But is it to our interest to seek
admission at present? Let US see:
Az residents Of Territory and wards
Of q nation We have no voice what
ever in public affairs, and our legis-
lative powers are limited to the op-
preston of one another, as was ex-
emplidsd by the passage. BY the last
Legislature, of q division bill which
10 now generally admitted to have
been an infamous outrage. That is
about the sum and substance OF our
powers, for which we pay enormous
taxes. The "lndians not taxed" are
better off than we, as they are at
least fed and clothed and taken care
Of after a fashion.
As citizens of State we would at
once assume all the powers and Sc
cure oil the privileges of the "most
favored" American. We would have
two members in the United States
Senate, and one in the House of
Representatives. That would be
three votes in Congress, two of which
would be equally potent with those of
the Senators from New York, Texas,
Georgia, California, or any other
American common wealth. We could,
through Thorn, obtain large sums of
money from the general government
Tor public Improvements such as
irrigation canals or reservoirs, the
improvement Of the Snake and our
other rivers where they are sus.
ceptibie Of navigation, eto., etc. On
any question vitality affecting our
welfare, such as the decentralization"
Of silver, the exclusion of foreign
lead. the foreign ownership Of mines,
etc., We would DO able to offset the
influence of the goldtes and those
interested in continuing the present
state OF affairs.
There are SO many other advan.
lages to be secured by admission to
Observation-Disclosures that must be
patent to every one who gives a
thought to the matter-that
i is almost useless 10 continue this
BY applying for admission We have
everything to gain, and nothing to
csc.
