GOOD-BY.

Soft fall the moonlight's silvery rays,
Glistening-the crest of the wavelets dancing;
Fair is the maid by the shore who strays,
Gladness and hope from her blue eyes glancing
Now she is nearin,, the trysting tree,
Soon her true love she's fondly greeting.
Little she thinks as the moments fee
This is to be their farewell meeting;
Sad would the heart be, oh, bitter the sigh,
Could we know when ere bidding a last good-by.
No longer the moonbeams gid the tide,
Athwart the sky is the lightning cleaning.
The youth has sailed from his promised bride;
Safe in her home she is sweetly dreaming.
No dread forebodngs disturb her sleep;
Peaceful she rests on her snowy pillow;
Her love the while, where the surges Sweep
Lies cold and still meath the foaming billow
Sad would the heart be- oh, bitter the sigh,
Could we know when we're bidding last good-by
All through our life we are dropping friends,
Bidding goodby without thought of grieving,
And dark the shadow each parting lends
To the end of life are deity weaving;
In that land of light where no shadows rest,
LIES end complete, and our labors ended,
We shall find our lives had not been blest
Had the shadows neer with the SUNSHINE
blended.
All, grieve not, dear friend, heave no bitter sigh;
To the faithful and true there is no good-by.

Tho Hawks Held the Fort.

We saw good many fish hawks through
the woods we traversed, and examined witt
interest their nests of broken sticks. Many
Jersey farmers hereabouts regard the fish
hawk with superstitious awe, and money viii
not tempt them to shoot a hawk. Near Capt
May court house, within stones throw Of
the waters of the bay, in a stunted pine tree
top, is fish hawks nest built in 1862 Sew
eral times either the male or female bird ha.
been killed by some adventurous gunner, but
the fittest surviving bird soon got himself an
other 'crest" and another mate, and began
punctually in the spring restoring and re
building the old nest, multiplying promptly
and replenishing the brood of young hawks.
At Fishing creek one of these fish devour
ers built its nest years ago in the chimney Of
a fsherman's two story cabin. The smoke
did not annoy the birds, young or old. Bu1
the hawks were nuisance to the family Of
the jolly fisherman. Every device save {
loaded shotgun was used to get rid of the nes
and its owners The fisherman was too super
stitious to kill the birds, and the unequal con
test between the fisherman and the fish hawl
ended by the family DESERVING their cabiI
home, and the birds still rear and feed theil
young in the old chimney top of the deserted
cabin year by year.-Forest and Stream

The NIistletoe Boush.

All the well known traditions about the
mistletoe, such as kissing under it or Druidic
rites, belong to the English mistletoe, which
is not the same as the American. The two
are closely allied and resemble each other
but they are distinct genera. The American
mistletoe is botanically known as phoraden-
dron, the English, viscum. The name of the
English genus is derived from viscum, mean
ing bird lime, because Of the mucilaginous
juice of the berries. The name of the Amer
lean literally means "thief on tree" which
is certainly more picturesque than the desig-
nation of its relative, as well rs scientifically
correct. The mistletoes form distinct fam
lily or order by themselves, including only
the two principal genera, English and Amer
lean.
Mistletoe is only used in home decoration.
1t is considered inartistic, even irreverent, to
arrange piece in church, because the en-
ployment of the mistletoe at all is relic of
Druidism and thus survival of APaganism.
At best, the present respect for the mistletoe
is but pleasant superstition, like that for
the wishbone or four leaved clover.-Phila-
delphia Times

Clipping" Walters,

A correspondent of The New York Trib-
une AYERS that decent meal cannot be OBJ
tanned in many places in New York unless
the waiter is tipped" in the beginning He
adds: 1.-THE waiter will not trust you. You
must not only pay dearly for what you have
to eat, but the landlords allow you to be sub
jected to the insult of unfeed walters There
are hotels and restaurants in New York
which are Stunned by many people because
they will not voluntarily subject themselves
to such abuses. And this feeling of opposi-
ton to the extortion of walters is rapidly
growing, and will continue to grow The

stand taken by many similar places in Eu-
rope, and put up signs reading, 1T is request
ed that no fees be given to walters will
forthwith see their daily receipts increase

Preoccupied.

Ever since man became civilized enough to
trim his hair, the barber has occupied a
prominent place in caricatures and news
paper paragraphs. The nature of his occu-
patton brings him into contact with his fel
low men when they are in undress and in his
power. Thus he naturally develops the con-
versational art, and at the same time a de-
cided character of his own.
For many years an old barber welded the
shears in a narrow street, an early ''cow
path" in Boston. During these years many
distinguished men had passed through his
hands, and had been benefited by his wisdom.
The good man, who saw these notables enter
his shop at regular intervals, could not imag,
inc that they were aught in life but append.
ages of his shop One day the old man, while
trimming the beard Of a young lawyer, slow
ly delivered this Renaissance into his fet-
tered ear:
''Chief Justice Shaw was for many years a
customer Of mine. Every month he used to
come in to have his hair cut. remember
that one month he didn't come. I suppose
that he had something else on his mind."-

The tramp entered the DIAGONAL council
He had on long frock coat, fastened closely
around his waist by a thorn, and from the
flowing lap above oozed out the ends of q
much soiled handkerchief. His closely fitting
trousers, through numerous portals of which
protruded his interesting self, seemed to run
without any dividing line into the shoe and
boot which respectively incased his feet. The
deacons had time to note these peculiari-
ties before the stranger broke the silence.
Gentlemen" he began, "your pardon for
disturbing you, but I am very sick" He
paused after this announcement to note the
effect. 81 went to the DOCTOR" he soon con-
tinued, land he gave me the pills-see, the
pills" and he held up to view small bottle
which he had in the palm of his hand. "He
said take the pills, three after each meal, and
| would like very much to have some assist

take your pills, then, and not come bothering

Points About Horses.

A Gazette reporter was in the stables of M.
A. Maupin on the South side recently, and
while there engaged that gentleman, who is
one of the best posted men on horses in Texas,
in a general conversation about the different
kinds and characters of horses.
"a horse is an intelligent animal general
ly," said he, "but, like some men, some horses
have but little brains; unless horse has
brains you can't teach him. Some horses
like some men, are mean, and they won't dc
to fool with. Now, look at that horse there, !"
pointing to tall bay, fine looking animal
fifteen hands high, which was standing in g
stall. "You can't teach that horse anything

him.
snow look at that other animal in the stall
next to him. That's an awful good mare-as
true as the sun. In her you can see breadth
and fullness between the eyes and ears Yor
couldn't induce that mare to act mean or hurt
anybody. In horse the eye should be full
and in color hazel is good.
''Now as to the ear | like a small. thir

A SDitefuI Cat.

In family in Renfrew, Canada, there is q
cat which is much petted. One day the lady
of the house sat down for moment, anG
either to relieve her feelings or as bit OF
innocent diversion, gave vent to a little
whistle. Immediately the pet cat sprang W
to her lap, and with its sheathed paw struck
her a blow in the face. The lady thought
this strange, but at first hardly connected it
with the whistling. However, a little time
afterward, in another room, she happened to
repeat the whistle, and Immediately the cat
sprang up and struck her again. This time
the lady thought it must be the whistling
which was giving pussy offense, and so, with
''malice aforethought," whistled again. Sure
enough, the cat chastised her with another
blow, square in the face. About the only
possible explanation is that in the whistle it
fancied a call was being given to the pet dog
and was jealous Observation-Disclosures Demo

Overcrowded cemeteries.

In his address on 1.-THE Sanitary DISPOSE
ton of the Dead" DR.. G. A. Harvey, of New
York, gave some very interesting informa-
ton. He stated that many OF the old bury
ing grounds of Europe have received SO great
number of human remains as to raise the
top soil from one to four feet above the sur
rounding ground. Many of such burial
places have been the fruitful source of cpl
denies and devastating plaques which lave
well nigh depopulated the regions about
them. Notable among them was the Gene
terry of Innocents, in Paris, the ground OF
which had been so filled with buried dead as
to raise it some three feet above Ehe normal
level. The result was the breaking out of a
terribly devastating plague.

DEAR SIR have been using it on
the strongest point on myself from one
half to one and quarter hours a day

perfectly astonished at the result upon
my general system as well as local
trouble (dyspepsia).

upon me and youth had been restored

stands it.
I am treating case Of secondary
syphilitic eruption on the body and
face with the most prompt and salts

with medicine in this disease and I
look with establishment at the effect of

GENTLEMEN-In explanation to the
foregoing letter it is proper to state
that the Electropoise has been in use
by Dr. K. but five days. having been
erected in his Office on July Goth.
He said: II used to be such ran
tankerous allopath that I would not
look at a homeopath across the
street. But I found that they could
effect cures that I could not with my
methods, so I went to their college and
graduated. Now, if you will show me
still better method, I will adopt it in
my practice and advocate it's USE"

Will begin at nine p. n. and the banquet
will be at Turner hall at II o'clock, the
committee have made arrangements with
all hack lines to carry each passenger for
70 cents each way from any part Of the city.
During the past three weeks or more the
Helena Odd Fellows have been locking
forward to this event and have left nothing
undone to insure not only it's success, but
to make it the grandest social event in the
history Of Montana. No single hall large
enough could be secured, but the arrange
ment committee secured the two largest
halls in the state for the occasion, and they
stand within q stones throw of each other.
No expense or labor has been spared to
properly decorate the two large halls. The
ball Will take place in the state armory and
the banquet will be spread in Turner hall.
The fact that Billy Mellen has charge Of
the feast is ASSURANCE that it will be of q
high order. An excellent orchestra has
also been engaged and tonight Helena will
undoubtedly be the scene of gala social
event.
$. l. Stone will be master of ceremonies
at the banquet. Massena Bullard, P. G.
NJ, will respond to the toast. 1.-The Grand
Lodge of Montana" Judge VIM. H. Hunt
