Smith sat shivering in the cold, the east

ing that the burglars Nigh still be lark-

The long and horrible night at length
came to an end, and morning dawned
without any further adventure. Smith
now ventured to the village and gave
full account Of the burglarious attack.
The news spread like wildfre. Men
gathered at the corners of the streets,
and women gossiped from house to house
to discuss the matter; and many, with
bated breath and knowing shake of
the head, in low tone, as if revealing
a profound secret, said: "Sam Goodman
and his crew." Hours were spent in
idle conjecture, every gossip being anx-
ious to PROFOUND some new suggestion.
| After the matter had been fully dis
cussed, and every suspicious character
beside Sam Goodman had been named,
Bob johnson required his horse, as he
had to fetch a load of Goals from the

that his horse was lying in the field,
with bullet wound in his hind guar

garden, at the back ofs his house. The
footprints of the horse were traced to

THE LAND OF USED-TO-BE.

Beyond the purple, hazy trees
VI summers utmost boundaries;
Beyond the sands beyond the seas,
Beyond the range of eyes like these,
And only in the reach of the
Enraptured gaze of memory,
There lies land long lost to me,
The land of Used to-b be.
A land enchanted, such as swung
In golden seas when sirens clungl
Along their dripping Drinks, and sung
To Jason in that mystic tongue
Thai dazed men with its melody;
Oh, such land, with such q sea
Kissing its shores eternallY,
Is the fair Used o.be.
A land where music ever girds
The air with belts of singing birds,
And sows all sounds with such sweet words
That even in the lowing herds
Ameaning lives so sweet to me.
Lost laughter ripples limpidly
From lips brimmed DER with all the glee
OF rare old Used be-
Lost laughter and the iFhistled tunes
OF boyhood's mouth of creseentrunes,
That rounded through long afternoons,
To serenading plenilunes.
When starlight fell so misty
That, peering up from Bonded knee,
Idreamed twas bridal drapery
Hung over Used. to-be.
Oh, land of love and dreamy thoughts,
And shining fields I'D sh9A..- spots,
OF coolest, greenest, grassy plots.
Embossed with wild forget. me nots,
And all the blooms that cunningly
Lift their faces up to me
Out of the past; kiss in thee
The lips of Used-to-be!
love We all, and with wet eyes
Turned glmmeringly on the Skies
My blessings like your perfumes rise,
Till DER my soul silence lies
Sweeter than any song to me,
Sweeter than any melody
Or its sweet echo, yea, all three;
My dreams of Used -to-be

AT last the agitation of the people west of the
Aleghenies has caused the Senate of the United
States to recognize that they have some rights
which they were bound to respect A silver bill
embodyng the feature of free coinage, passed the
Senate on the 18th, by the decided vote of AZ
ayes to 25 noes, many members hiding out as usual
when any really important vote is taken The
most significant thing about the whole matter is
that the amendment which gives force and effect
to the bill, was offered and champoned by Mr..
Plumb of Kansas, republican from away back,
but one who has better sight to see than some of
his fellows. In looking over the names enumer-
ated among the ayes, one thing must strike the

The highest classical honors and the beating of

examinations at Cambridge University was re-
Gently won by Miss Philippe Fawsett, which goes
toprove that English women are keeping pace with
their American sisters in the race for academic
honors. elf the young men of the present gen
eration" says the Post-Dispatch, edo not look to
their laurels their boosted superiority to the weaker
sex will be limited to what advantages some old
fashioned laws have given them. But these bright
young women are merely proving what the highest
civilization admits, that women are the intellectual
equals of men and are entitled to even chances in
the world"
SIXTEEN States now have school suffrage for
women, and Kansas has municipal suffrage, but
Wyoming is the first and only State where women
stand side by side with their brotheer-men as po-
litical equals. The leaders of the suffrage party

success seems about to crown the labors of many

The Democratic State Convention to nominate

of the convention Now to chronicle its short
comings While protesting to advocate the claims
of all classes of men who are heavy laden and sore
oppressed, there was not an audible whisper of the
claims of women, not one word for her half of
the race. They glorfy themselves upon respect
ing the rights of blacks, whites, natives and for
eigners-which category includes hoodlums,
tramps and law-breakers, who have votes-but
there is no voice lifted in the interests of their in
telligent and virtuous wives, mothers, daughters
and sisters, who have no votes to be catered to.
No doubt, had these men been interviewed they
would have exclaimed, "We represent our women.
Why certainly we do. How could they be repre-
sented any better?" How, indeed? Those thir-
teen-yes, that was the uncanny number-who
came filing out of saloon, each decorated with
bit of red ribbon labeled Collegiate" would
doubtless have been the most enthusiastic in their
assertion that they were representing their women,
but how many will believe that the patient mother
and wife at home would endorse the sentiments
that impel men toward the wire-pullng, drinking
and gambling that characterize the actions of many
men in political life. If men must delegate to
themselves the office of representing both halves

WE are frequently told that the lawmakers look
after the interests of our sex, and in some cases
we admit this to be true, but the following unique
law considered by the English parliament in 1879,
is worthy of especial mention. They found it ex-
pedient to consider bill to the effect that "all
women without distinction as to age or rank maid
ems as we'll as widows, who should deceive the
male subjects Of His Majesty, and mislead them
into marriage by means of salve, paint, or beauty
water, false hair, Spanish WOOL corsets or padded
hips, should be punished under under the provi-
sons of the law for sorcery, and the marriage should
be considered null and void" Here we find the
innocent maiden ranked in the same class and con-
sidered worthy Of the same punishment as the
widow, who has by reason Of her experience COM
mitted the greater sin. If it was deemed neces
sary to consider such bill, will some one learned
in legal lore tell us of bill that has ever been
presented or considered, that would make the
