AN UNPUBLISHED SONG.

Yet ere we met, was lover
OF many bright and beaming face,
Ere one Of folly's whims was over,
Another quick supplied its place
But though I've bent the knee to many,
And felt my bosom throb the while.
Trust me, never felt for any
Half what was taught me by thy smile
Then, dearest, think not that love thee
The less for having loved before,
Trust me, if others charms could move me-
Thine, dearest. must, oh how much morei
I'm like that youth we read in story
Who worshiped many brilliant star
Until the pure moons brighter glory
Rose to his sight more lovely far.
Since then by woodland streams and mountain
She was the sole and only dream;
His heart was likened to fountain,
The faithful mirror Of her beam.
Thus do thy brighter beauties move me,
And though loved the stars before,
Be thou my moon! Henceforth I'll love thee
1cannot tell thee how much more.

Cracks in Pretty Woman's Lips.

Early in the autumn the winds cause fis-
sures or cracks in the lips that are not only
extremely unpleasant to look upon, but are
exquisitely painful, and by touching them
with your tongue you intensity the pain very
much. Go to the drug shop and get there an
old remedy, so old that it has the charm of
novelty. 1t rejoices in an overpowering
Latin name, but when you ask the druggist
for it in English, say you want citron cream;
apply this with your fingers, or soft linen
cloth, and the cooling and healing result that
will follow will convince you that even in
medicine sometimes old things are BEST

The Contest for Speakership Warming
Up, with Mr.. Cameron in the Lead, as
Far as Pledged Votes Indicate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The chief
clerk of the house of representatives has
received the certificates of $50 members
elect to the next house, and has been
officially informed that certificates have
been issued in all but three congressional
districts. Of the certificates issued 1873
are to Republicans and 159 to Democrats,
and of those districts still in doubt two
of them are in West Virginia and one in
Tennessee. In all of them the Republi-
can candidates claim majorities on the
face of the returns. However, should
the Democratic candidates get the GER
tificates, their party will not have con-
troll, as the Republicans will still have
majority of one and will organize the
house. The question is whether it will
be one or seven. Several Republicans
who are elected to the next house are in
uncertain health. Several whose names
are often mentioned are regarded as
having very uncertain tenure of life.
Every in,i.cation of ill health on the
art of member of the next house is
regarded with anxiety, and adds an
other argument to the many advanced
in favor of an extra session. This being
the case, the candidacy for the speaker
ship is becoming more heated every day.
Of the 163 Republicans who have re-
ceived certificates Of election it is said
that Mr.. Cannon has - pledged to vote
for him: Mr.. Reed, So: Mr.. Mckinley,
90 and Mr.. Burroughs, 20. There are
sixteen unpledged Southern members.
The other fifteen Southern members are
scattered between prospective tandi-
dates. There is no telling for whom
they will vote.

MARBLEHEAD'S BIG LOSS.

Nearly Eleven Acres of the Business
Part of the City Destroyed by Fire.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Dec. 26.-Fire
started about 10 o'clock p. M. in the
basement of Powers furniture store, and
is said to have been caused by the ex-
plosion of a can of benzine. At mid
night it is estimated that seven acres

loss will be at least 5000, 900. Among
the buildings burned are: Powers
block, the Rechabite block, Goldthwaite's
three story building, Monro's large shoe
factory, three story block, occupied by
dry goods stores and the Boston branch
grocery on the first floor, the Masonic
hall on the second, and skating rink on
the third: the four story Allentown
block, American Express oompany's
building, aimon's variety store, the
dwellings If Daniel Broden, George
Church sndl lThgnas Falls. Aetcalf's box
factory, and other buildings. Nearly
the same tsrritory was burned over
about twelvelyears ago, the fire starting
in nearly the same place. Many of last
nights victims were sufferers by the
former fire. lThe shoe business, which
has been idle for several months past,
was Just startling up, and many opera
tives will now be thrown out of work for
the entire winter. The fire is still burn
ing. Tt is impossible to get definite
losses on account of the great excite
ment prevailing.

EAST Sioux FALLS, OAK, Dec. ST.
Last Sunday 3-year-old child of L. P.
Olson, of East Sioux Falls, died from
dropsy, and preparations were made to
bury the child on Tuesday, but as the
ground was very slippery from the re-
cent sleet storm, it was postponed until
the next day. That night the body
showed evidence of returning life. Color
frequently came into different parts of
the body and then entirely disappeared.
There were also other evidences of life.
The funeral was indefinitely postponed
until it is definitely decided whether the
child is dead. Dozens of doctors have
examined the body, but none will au-
thorize the burial of the child.
