HER LOVER WAS FALSE.

The Sorrow That Unseated a Spanish
Maiden's Reason.
One Of the oldest and best-knOwn Spanish
names in Central California. in the good old
days. was that of the Castro family, who
owned, at one time. many thousands of acres
of fertile land in Alameda and Contra Costa
counties, and whose memory is still per-
petuated in that beautiful and fruitful dis
trict in the former county known as Castro
Valley. The CastrOs were connected by
marriage with the Vallejos and other of the
powerful old families, who al one time lived
grandly in those valleys and ranked very
high socially. A descendant of this great
family, Miss Gabrielle Castro, died last
Thursday in the Napa Insane Asylum,
where she had been confined for number
of years past. Various reasons are ascribed
for the mental alteration IF the deceased,
but the burden of the proof seems TO show it
originated in an unhappy love affair. Miss
Castro was very beautiful Spanish girl,
according to all accounts, and won the heart
of a gay military officer, who was in the
habit of visiting her fathers home. The
man of war did not remain faithful to her,
however, and the young girl so brOoded
over tine wrong that had been committed
upon her that her mind finally gave away
under the strain and her relatives found il
necessary to send her to the asylum where
she ended her DAYS.

OUR LOVED ONES.

The friends we hold most dear can never diet
They NAV pass from to the other shore
Yet still they live! Death cannot break the tie
That binds our hearts TO them foreYermore,
The parting is but as we bid goodnight
To the loved guests we hope 10 meet at dawn;
Though through the night hours hidden from our
sight,
We know them near-and walt the coming morn
Thus through the thin bare walls Of time and flesh,
Which hide our own loved dead from mortal
sight,
We feel their presence near. and love afresh
CLOVIS warmly, as wait the morning light.
Death surely is our friend since It can give
Eternal youth to those our hearts hold dear;
And in eternal freshness love shall live,
And lurer. sweeter grow from year to year.
In our blind grief we fat TO understand
These friends, alone we keep steadtaSt ana pure;
Since never change can come in Gods fair land.
And death is but loves anchor strong and Surel

Did He Hoe Them

My father" says Colorado Judge,
was stern, exacting man, who did not
seem to think a boy on a farm needed
any time to go fishing or to hunt wood
chucks. he was also a believer in the
free use of the rod, which, as used to
think, often spoiled the child.
"One week my father had to leave
nome to be gone three days. He took me
out to field of potatoes and said, John.
L want you to hoe these potatoes while /
am gone. i shall be gone Just three days.
You can do it in that time if you are
spry.'
As soon as my father was gone went
out and looked the field over. 1t was
just the season of trout fishing in our re-
glon. | said, 'Sho, believe I can hoe
that field in two days easy enough, So
went off and fished all of the first day.
The second day l went out and looked
the ground over, and said, Il believe if I
get up early and work real hard, can hoe
those potatoes in one day. So / went and
fished all the second day.
The third morning I went out, and
the field seemed to have grown twice as
big in the night. I said, i can't do it in
one day the best / can work, and father
will lick me for fishing two whole days,
anyhow SO went and fished the third
day"
The Judge doesn't tell whether he
finally hoed the potatoes or not, but he
has certainly been hard worker since
then, and perhaps the rod did not spoil
the child, after all

cation to render scant justice to English
ones. But, be it remembered, I am writ
ing only of the superior class, and even
so / imply no more than that it presents
higher average of certain social merits
than the corresponding class in England.
Moreover, in conclusion, am anxious
above all things to insist upon the fact
that the charms of the American women
are mainly due to their privileges, and
must not be put down simply to nature
and grace. They are the best-treated
women in the world, and this it is which
makes them fresh and entertaining and
capable. Let the English men who adj
mire them take the lesson to heart, and
see whether they cannot educate the
women in their own country up to the
American standard in these respects by
treating them in American fashion.
The American gentleman is usually
devoted to his womankind, he both adj
mires and respects them, and expends
great deal Of his leisure and his money in
providing them with that ''good time''
they always crave. They have never
mates. Mr.. Bryce observes that an
American husband naturally fetches his
wife's keys, whereas an English one
would as naturally send her to the top of
the house for his. This is typical of
great deal. Men i'll this country seem to
consider women or value them only in
so far as they are in some way subservi-
ent to their interests. In America a
woman's welfare and happiness is valued
for itself, and is held to have as much
independent worth as man's-Mr.
Bryce fancies it has even more. Here
women live mainly for men; there, men
seem to live mainly for women, and what
wonder that they reap some reward.
The genial atmosphere they create for
woman tends to bring out what is best
her with moral sunshine in which the
good qualities that are specially feminine
ripen. She feels appreciated and under
stood by men, and this draws her en-
revanche into kindly sympathy with
them, and into fuller partnership with
their lives and interests.-London Queen.

PHILOSOPHY OF coNTENrsrENr.

Adown the avenue he walks, his mind
toward them, moment since passed by, in
clined,
The maid he once did love he sees with him
Who was his rival, and his eyes grow dim
win tears he can't suppress. But soon his
care
Invigorates him, and happy thought
He seems, upon reflection, to have caught.
And this it is: Why am 1 not content
With what am and have? Why have srent
Because q simple maiden answered '.No?D
Suppose that answer had been "Yes;'' what
then?
Would l, in truth be happiest of men?
Then had she dropped and wilten like the rose
Would this not be the greatest of all woes?
Or should chance to die would this not place
The mark of sorrow on her happy face
Were she the partner of my humble life
The sharer of its troubles and its strifeo
'Tis better thus. No more shall lament,
But go my way, and smile in blest content
SO much for him. Then what of yonder lad
Who shovels snow to live? Is he ne'er sad? o.
He is for just one moment when he notes
Our promenading friend his coat of coats
His hat-a fashionable one-and tie,
The like of which doth make poor Patsy sigh
In very enyiousness; the general style
OF chappie rouses all his Jealous bile.
Then Patsy thinSs-a rare conception this
How chappie's life cannot be all bliss.
He knows-'tis instinct in him-how that he
Would fairly burst with undiluted glee
Could he but roll yon soft and tiaky snow
Into an icy ball, and let that go
With all his force across poor chappie's path,
And make him victim of his jealous wrath.
Which thought doth soothe his troubled soul
and sad,
And leaves him in his heart both blithe and
glad,
Because his dress doth make him all exempt
From wiles of those whom men like chappie
tempt.
His momentary jealousy is spent,
And he is, like the other, most content.
