THE MEETING OF THE WINDS.
Fierce from the ice fields the North Wind blew;
His wings were feathered with sleet and
snow,
And ever he smote the earth as he flew,
And laid the meadows and gardens low.
Soft from the palm groves the South Wind
stole,
The petals of flowers to her pinions chung;
Tender was she as the newborn soul,
And sweet and low was the song she sung.
The North Wind and South Wind met;
They met in a little tossing wood,
Where the velvet leaves with dew were wet,
And the tanager flashed i'll his scarlet hood.
Then loud and shrill laughed the frosty North,
And fiercely rustled his wings of sleet,
But the lisSome South like winding swarth,
Twined her soft arms about his feet.
Down smote the North Blast with his wings;
But closer the South Wind chung and cried:
"Oh, spare the earth, with its tender things,
Take me-slay me-and be satisfied
The North Wind struggled, the South Wind
clave,
And round they spun in a dervish gust,
The leaves and twigs in circle draVe;
The air was filled with the 'vhirling dust.
And 10, love conquered (as true love wild.
The North Wind fretted his wrath away;
And over meadow and wood and hill
The South Wind stole all the balmy day,

SLSTERLY DEVOTION.

The beautiful Margaret of Navarro
was devoted to her brother, Francis |.
When he was apparently dying at Ma
drid, she found her way to him
through privation and danger and
succeeded in effecting his deliverance.
When he was i'll at distance from
her, she went every day and sat down
on stone in the middle of the road
to catch the first glimpse of messen-
ger affair off. And she said:
"Ah whoever shall come to an
nounce the recovery of the king, my
brother, though he be tired, jaded,
disheveled, will kiss him and EN-
brace him as though he were the finest
gentleman in the Kingdom
When he died, she seemed literally
heartbrolen, and she did not long
survive him.

DREAMING TO A PURPOSE.

The wife of a friend of mine in
Middletown had a curious dream the
other night said well-known
Orange county lawyer. "Her hus-
band had received a sum of money,
and he rolled the bills up with brand
new ten-dollar bill on the outside He
went home in the evening, and while
giving his wife some money noticed
that the new ten-dollar bill was gone.
He searched his pockets, but the miss
ing note could not be found. The loss
naturally caused quite little commo-
ton in the household, and the matter
was discussed even after my friend
and his wife had retired for the night.
Next morning the wife woke up
her husband, and brought the subject
of the lost bill to his mind by the
query:
WAS that ten-dollar bill numbered
1912
The husband said he didn't know
whether the number was Isl or whelh-
er the bill had any number on it at all.
And furthermore, said he, /
don't care, for / never expect to see
the bill again.
Don't you be too sure said his
wife. You took that money out of
your pocket before you got into the
house last night
Ives, 1 did said the husband.
But how did you know it?
:" 1 had a dream last night that you
did," replied the wife. And l dream
ed that the number of the bill was ISL,
and that the wind blew the note out
of your hand
Nonsense y said the husband.
Nothing more was said about it. My
friend ate his breakfast and went to
his business. Early in the forenoon
his wife came in smiling She had a
new ten-dollar bill in her hand She
showed the number to her husband
triumphantly. 1t was Isl.
"'And l went out in the garden and
found the bill among the tomato vines,
just where | had dreamed the wind
had carried it, she said.
Now, this is fact. How can you

"A German paper says that cook,
who had burned Il tive-pound joint of
veal, to avoid scolding threw the
spoiled meat away and told her mis-
tress the cat had eaten it. Indeed -
that" and she took the cat, put it on
the kitchen scales, and found that it
weighed precisely five pounds. "There

What more can one say of the

who have done him every kindness,

SUCH Il CHEAP LITTLE DRESS.

Very inexpensive materials, as every
woman knows, may, remarks the
New York Tribune, by the making,
hold their own with the most costly
fabrics.
The wife of one of the millionaire
manufacturers of New York, wishing
to please her husband not long ago,
chose one of his ten cent calicoes at
the mill when ON a visit of inspection,
had it made up by her dressmaker,
and wore it to his intense qualification,
for she never looked prettier or sweet
err in her life than when gowned i'll
the cheap little print.
But she did not think it worth
while to mention it to her unsophisti-
Gated spouse that the bill for the max
ing, trimmings, etc, amounted to $50.

The silver state. [volume] (Unionville, Nev.) 1870-1903, 1893-08-18

1873 is blotted out of the records OF
the government and the money OF
the people restored upon the basis it
stood before the preparation OF that
crime by the monarchs OF criminals
Of the nineteenth century. Let the
criminal letters which have reduced
silver to the level of a base metal be
removed. Let it be placed upon its
former equality before the law as
money. Then if it be found that the
ratio must be changed to maintain
the parity of the two coins, the proper
ratio can be intelligently and easily
ascertained and made without friction,
without panic and without partisan
contests. To fix the ratio now be-
tween the silver and the gold dollar,
when the one is deprecated by the
Recommendation act of 1873 and the
other is appreciated by that act until
neither one knows where it is at,
would be piece of folly like unto a
sportsman shutting his eyes and fir
ing at random at flock Of flying
pigeons out of range.
The people are now ripe for a Wig
orous prosecution of the war for the
restoration of the peoples money at
the former ratio of 16 to l. They are
ready to scuttle the old crafts OF the
old parties and are i'm patiently await
ing another opportunity at the ballot
box. They are willing to bear the
ills of demonstration of silver, of
which they have become the heirs by
party legislation on the one hand and
party non-legislation on the other, a
period longer, rather than submit to
any more Sherman compromises to
degrade silver. Any compromise
proposed, or that can be proposed, is,
and will be, if adopted, but the degra-
dation of silver and the triumph of
the goldbugs in greater or less degree.
It is not wise for the friends of silver
to compromise themselves and the
cause Of silver as money by agreeing
to any other than the ratio Of IS to l.,
when it is certain that Cleveland will
veto any free coinage bill at any ratio
other than that OF the relative value
OF pig iron to gold. We have the assur-
ance Of Senator Vest that Cleveland
looks upon free coinage at any ratio
as being so impracticable that il
was not worthy of executive notice in
his late message.

"THE KIND THAT CURES"
"lIiner's weights" Construed


Justice Dean, of the Supreme Court, has
made an important decision in the case OF
Drake VS.. Lacoe. The case involved pri.
marily the construction of the phrase
miners weight on all merchantable coal" d"
The plaintiffs, that is the brakes, contended
that this phrase meant 2,464 pounds of coal
in the vein, including impurities also The
defendants contended that the phrase
miners weights"meant such quantity of coal,
slate and dirt as is agreed upon between the
operators and miners to be sufficient to make
a ton of prepared coal for the market The
opinion of the Supreme Court comedies with
the theory of the defendants in the case and
sustains the finding of W. w. Lathrope who
was the master in the original litigation.
