INFLUENCE.
By ADAM DEAN.

Who can say how, where or when,
The influence we WELD shall end,
Whether it be for good or Ill?
Ever it runs onward, q little rill,
Or mighty wave it is never lost.
Somewhere, sometime somehow 1t is met again,
Bringing Joy and gadness, or 1T comes with pain,
1t matters not how, it will not die,
Its laws are unalterable, they never lie,
We cannot escape what we do here.
Some day we will meet in the journey OF life,
Amid it's busy cares, its joys and strife,
With the bread that we upon the waters sent
Scarce needing nor caring where it went,
1t comes back again tenfold.
It may be as we llnger almost ready to depart
Thoughts will come that fire our heart
And make us long with pain intense
To undo some deed of deep offense
That we in our blindness thought not Of.
All, the seed has fallen and taken cot.
At first it was but little shoot
That we might have pluck'd or train'd with care,
But we had not the time to spare
We meet it again, it Is beyond our reach.
We meet it again as a curse or shield,
An armor Of defense or foe to WELD
A mighty work whose weight will be felt
Throughout all time and when ages have knelt
At the foot of Gods throne

the nine flights of stairs to the top of the "Seven
Falls" guide-board directed our path and after
some steep climbing, we stood beside the grave of
that noble woman

to write; here she spent manyof her Sabbaths.
"This spot is my church," she said to FRIEND
"and it is here that l wish to be laid" And SO
on the summit of Cheyenne Mountain, beneath
summer sun and winter SHOWS, she lies-alone.
No monument marks the spot, but the grave is
heaped high with small stones which visitors have
laid upon it, For each stone taken, for souvenirs,
one or more is replaced by the person who takes
1t. Hundreds of them have their names or some

of it), that when she requested to be buried there
she also made the request that those who visited
her grave should lay stone upon it. 1t was an
odd whim, think, but one that has been faithfully

A curious and unpunishel murder In
Canton is reported by the latest china

two SONS, the eldest of whom was a dis
siplted youth, who consorted with
thieves and gamblers, and was driven
away from home after wasting his share
OF the patrimony. lie was reduced to
beggary. and was in the habit of solicit,
ing aims from his fathers servants at
the back door of his residence. The sec
ond son, however, had an excellent char
acter. The eldest, with a band of com
pan;ons, broke into his fathers house
and stole the money chest.
The father said that if he would prom.

after n time he would be married to q
young girl of respectable family. The
son agreed and went home, where he
was received with every appearance OF
joy, and a banquet was prepared. But
the dish set before him was poisoned
with arsenic, and he died in great agony
Nothing will be lone to call the father
to account, as it seems that in Chinese
law the son is regarded as a part of the
father, and the latter can do as he like

The Cheyenne Sun of this morning has
the following on its editorial page:
The money expended BY the Democrats
OF Cheyenne in sending out 10000 copies
of the special edition OF THE LEADER
seems to have been worse than wasted,
Judging from the response. In Laramie
City, where it was distributed along with
Its running mate, the Boomerang, it was
Indignantly spurned by those to whom it
was given.
The above has the earmarks. OF being
a malicious falsehood so far as the Boom
erang is concerned. We arc not engaged
in circulating Democratic literature, but
Ofcourse the Sun would be the last paper
in the world to say a COOL word concern
ing a Republican contemporary. No
copy OF the special edition ofTHE LEADER
was ever received at this Office or dlstrib.
uted from it. The LEADER has a right to
work for its party, but the effort OF the
Sun to put the Boomerang in the Demo
cratic party will be unsuccessful. Every
man connected with the Boomerang has
a better record as a h publican than has
the proprietor of the Sun.

There is one brave girl in Charlotte,
n. c. She is Miss Lula Smith, the pretty
little II year-old daughter of Sheriff z.
S. Smith of this county. At . o'clock
Friday afternoon Miss Lula was playing
near the Jail with some other children,
when she happened to see a prisoner slide
out the Jail through a newly made hole
in the wall.
The little miss knew that would never
do, so she ran quickly to the side of the
Jail and picked up n big stone. She be-
gan to pound a second kinky head
poked nearly through the hole, and in

were necessary to drive the prisoner
back. Standing by the hole on the inside
of the jail were a dozen prisoners ready
TO crawl through and escape, but the lit

and dared them to poke out their heads
She gave the alarm and soon her father
was on the scene, and the prisoners all
locked up in their cells. BY some means

not been for Miss Lula n wholesale deliv.

Everybody has heard of the saying
that it takes nine tailors to make a man,
and the general supposition is that it re-
fleets upon tailors in some indefinite man
ner, and no one knows where the saying
originated. Now, the truth is that the
saying is m~isquoted, and the proper word
is ~tailers, or ~tellers, not %tailors, as Otter
written. and its origin can be traced
back several centuries.
It was one of the customs when a per
