AN EASTER GREETING.
BY MRS. EMMA TAYLOR.
To all whose hearts are broken,
Whose jewels are under the sod,
Do you sometimes try to lift the veil
That hides the throne of God;
To catch a glimpse of the loved ones
Who over the river have gone;
To catch the gleam Of their snowy robes
And the glitter of their crowns.
Do you sometimes stand looking upward,
In the hush of the dim twilight,
As if they would come on bright-rimmed cloud
To bid you fond ''good-night.''
To all whose hopes are blighted,
By the long, long winter of grief,
There comes day not far away
That shall bring you sweet relief
Then the mist and the dark evening shadow:
Shall flee forever away,
And our jewels shall shine the brighter
For having lain under the clay.
The sun shall rise in sp1endor
Dispelling all the gloom,
And its blessed rays shall lfnger,
Very near our loved ones tomb.
On some bright and happy morning
When the mists have rolled away,
The tombs shall be rent asunder
| And our loved ones see the ray.
They shall spring to life and gladness,
When touched by that glorious light;
| They shall wake again in the morning
After their long, dark night.
Though now they are sleeping sweetly,
| Taking their long sought rest,
We give them to Thee, dear Father,
We know Thy way is best.
So we leave them with Thee, our Father,
| The dear ones from us gone,
But grant we all may meet them
| On the last great Easter morn.

A ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.


If my readers were to come to Texas, coul
easily introduce them to the now seemingl
happy couple, who experienced, as far as tn
essential features are concerned, what is nar
rated below.
A Texan youth of sinew strong
Lassoed two half-broke ponies,
And bound them to buggy tongue,
And called them-"Little cronieS''
With whip and lines in ready hand,
And with the hope of winning,
He drove, but scarcely on the land,
The wheels, like toy-tops, spinning.
The trysting place was miles away,
The very time appointed,
And she, whom he would not betrav,
Must not be disappointed.
So ON he flew, as in race,
His heart the footballs beating,
And duly reached in time the Place,
The happy place of meeting.
lass of rather plumpy form,
And dimpled cheeks and rosy,
Whose heart was beating true and warm
Rushed from copSewood cosy.
She was girl of tender age,
OF Summers ten and seven,
-Andthoughtof of life as one bright page
Without dark line even.
A dressing gown beneath her arm,
She wore mother-hubbard,
And had shawl to keep her warm,
And luncheon from the cupboard.
The maid had stolen from her home,
The old home of her childhood
By night had left, perchance, to roam
Thro' life, as in wildwood.
True love brooks not undue delay,
Does many deeds of daring,
And often has wilful way,
And shows it without caring.
The lovers well upon the seat,
Now made the ponies skurry,
For they must thirty miles complete,
And there was need to hurry.
A ll-orbed moon her presence lent,
And silvered all the journey,
And so, pursuers to prevent,
They drove as in a tourney.
The distant Town was gained at three,
The chanticleers were Growing,
And not street-lght did they see,
And not soul were knowing.
To get the license to be wed,
They ran the Vile quite over,
And reused the parson from his bed
An old time Texan Rover.
They entered next a public room
To have the marriage in it,
And there, anent the bride and groom,
The goodman did begin it.
"Does any one object he said,
And silence reigned a second;
Then came voice, as from the dead,
From one who mad1y beckoned.-
Il do! She is our only child;
1--WE cannot let her marry;
Her mothers almost going wild,
''And many years we carry
1t was her angry fathers voice,
A yeoman bold and brawny;
A son of toll by natures choice
With epidermis tawny.
He found the ruse out by the mail,
His blood like boiling water,
And, like bloodhound on the TRAIL
Now overlook his daughter.
Words cannot fully paint the scene,
And Fancy's touch is needed;
Passion in heated form was seen,
But sober thought succeeded.
Suffice it for the Muse to say,
The father soon relented,
And SO the parSon in his way
The nuptial tie cemented.
Handshakings then were duly made
And gratulations given;
The preacher, also, warmly prayed,
That all might meet in heaven.

THE CHARACTER OF FOREIGN LABOR.
In conclusion, Mr.. Wilson said:
There is great exaggeration here and
everywhere as to the character of for
eign labor. l read a few days ago a
statement made by Mr.. Butterworth,
of Ohio, that he diligently looked for
this pauper labor of Europe wherever
he was in Europe last summer. In
Germany, in Belgium, in Holland, he
looked for it and did not find it. If he
had looked for it in the fields of the
planters, if he had looked for it in the
fields of the farmers, if he had looked
| for it in the fields of the wheat-grow-
ers, if he had gone further and looked
in the fields of the cotton growers, he
would have found that pauper labor.
But, sir, why do gentlemen compare
countries like those with this country
of ours? England has 81 900, 600 people.
England is One-third of the size of Cali
fornia, one-fifth of the size of the State
of Texas. 1t is an old country, where
for hundreds and thousands of wears
millions of people have been treading
upon each others heels in the struggle
for the necessaries of life. 1t is a cOun-
| try where every acre of land has long
since been appropriated, where land
monopoly prevails; a country where
the laws come out of the past saturated
with privilege, saturated with injus-
tice; a country where the people are di-
vided into hard, unbending social divi-
sion; a country where every natural
| resource has long since become private
property, where the forests have been

MYSTERY IN A CAVE.
Formerly the Haunt Of Lions, 1t VIZ Now
Be Searched for Gold.


Seattle Telegraph.
On the north side Of Table Mountain, and
near lis top, is an opening IN the lava that
has since early days been known as the
"Iions den" Ii was SO named from the
fact that for years it vas the lair Of a band
Of ferccious California lions that. when
this country was devoted largely TO sheep
raising, made nightly derredations upon the
focks and caused the owners much annoy
auce and loss. When pursued the animals
would seek refuge in this den and no hunter
would dare enter it.
The ground about the entrance TO il was
covered with bones and remnants Of sheep
and other animals. With the increase Of
population the lions have gradually dlsaP-
peaIed, although IS late as last spring two
Of the animals were seen 10 enter tie cave.
Strange % say, no known man has ever pen
ctTdtrd u lis fullest depth. The mouth IS
about four or five feet nigh and three feet
wide. and the opening deseends with sharp
incline for ab0ut2J0ieet. Further than this
it has never been explored.
New, however, party Of young men
have made arrangements u explore It, and,
If possible, penetrate to its bottom. That
il is Of great depth is certain Tor one can
stand al the opening and heaye great stones
down the decHvty, and the sound viii grad
ually die away ia the distance. The Young
men have procured several hundred feet of
rome, lanterns, torches and Ladders, and
viii thoroughly explore the cave.
What adds peculiar interest 10 the expe-
diti0n and gives Zest to the explorers IS the
well-knoBn fact that in the heyday of his
career as a bandit joaquin AurIetta and his
band Of faithful followers made the recess
ses Of Table Mountain their base Of opera
tons in this section. From there they
would swoop down on the miners, and then,
laden with gold dust, retreat 10 the mount
ain. Search as they might the officers
could not locate them. 1t has been sup
posed by many that perhaps in this same
cave is where the famous outlaw secreted
himself It may be, too, that down deep in
the bowels Of tie earth Joaquin hid the
greater portion OF his ill-golten but never

CHINESE LAW.
MOpgolian Resident of Fresno Tries to
Enforce 1t There.

EIpOsitor, Feb. H.
A peculiar ease of an attempt to enforce
the laws of the Chinese empire in Fresno
came to light to-day in Judge Crichton's
court. 1t was shown that there are some Of
the Chinese in this country who 10 not fully
realize that the laws which are in force in
the great empire of Yeng-tse-Kiang are a
dead letter in this country.
There is a Chinaman over there named All
Tong. who to-day came before Judge Crch-
ton and swore out complaint against fell
low Mongol, charging him with battery
The man whom he charged with this breach
of the peace is named Sam Can Lun. and
he was promptly arrested and brought into
court to render up an account OF his short
cOmings.
He did not deny that he had everlastingly
walloped All Long. but said that All Longs
parents had written to him from China that
their son was not behaving himself, and
that he. sam Can Lun, should whip their
obStreperous boy, who has how attained
unto the age OF some thirty years.
1t seems that Sam Can Lun is acquainted
with the parents of An Long, and that this
Is why they had instructed him 20 admin
lister tlagellation to their son.
When the defendat WAS brought into
court he gave as an excuse for whipping
All Long. that All Longs parents had or
dered their son punished. and such was the
law in China that when children were so big
that parents could not whip them, they would
get sUme one else TO do that parental duty.
sam Can Lun accordingly acted on this
Chinese law, but the trouble Is that the
Chinese law does not apply in this country
and Sam Can Lun was held i'm the bond Of
$3.50 for his appearance in court lie gave
the bail
