'Tis fn songland, and In dreamland,
That I love to think Of Thee,
Like o radiant emerald flashing
In zone Of purple sea.
And where cotton-felds are whitening,
Down the gold-touched autumn lands,
will sing thy songs, dear Ertnl
Captive hold in captive bands.
And think Of rights In shackles,
Flung behind dark prison bars
OF thy lovely lakes, Killarney,
Silver tears dropped from the stars.
Oh, mavourneeu! from thy harp strings
would wiring happier chord,
For cannot fight thy battles
Oil cannot WELD sword.

And its tiny leave. entwine
With the Southern rose and lily
With the yucca and the pine;
Only tell thy wrongs in story,
Only. chant thy anthems sweet.

TEMPERANCE. T;
~

THE FOOLS DREAM.
4 little whisky now and then
Is relished by the best of men; -.
It soothes the wrinkles out of care.
And makes ace high look like two pair.
When everything looks blasted blue,
And misery sticks like so much glue,
A nip that reaches toes and hair
Will make man millionaire.
When it has wandered down our necks,
It fills our eyes with magic specs.
Which brings the bright side full to view,
And makes one quarter look like two.
An ugly woman looks divine.
Our burial lot becomes mine;
The trees all walk, the fences run,
And silly tales sound full Of fun.

A MISTAKEN NOTION.

An old but very mistaken notion is that
drink gives strength. A test was once tried
to determine the strengthening power of
alcohol. Two gangs Of men, as nearly equal
work breaking stone. Both gangs contained
an equal number of men, but to one gang
liquors containing alcohol were given. At
first the alcohol gang did by far the most
work. but when the effects Of the alcohol
ceased, the men fell far behind the other men
in their work, so that at the end of the day
the gang which did not drink had done the
greatest amount of work. This was con-
tinued for three or four days, the result being
the same. The experimenters then reversed
the gangs. giving the non-alcoholic gang al
cohol, and allowing the alcoholic gang none !;
but the men not using the stimulant came
out ahead as before.

PHoeREcs OF TEMPERANCE.

In a recent editorial review of the progress
of the temperance reform the New York Oh
server says:
Friends of the temperance cause should
find little reason for Encouragement In the
present situation. If political prohibition,
Judging from the returns OF recent elections,
has not made the progress hoped for it, pro-
hibition through education has scored
rapid advance. From many quarters comes
confrmatory evidence of the steady growth
of public sentiment against the use of in
toxicating liquors, and in favor of closer
Sestriction Of the liquor traffic"

T. Morton, M. D.. in recent letter to the

longed drinking habits, though nature can do

A Curious Illusion.

A curious trick may be performed
by means of two conical bodies and q
couple Of walking sticks. Take two
lamp shades and fasten the edges to-

cether. Then make an in inclined
plane by means of two walking sticks
in the manner shown in our lllustra-
tion. Let the space between the two
sticks be wider at the higher than at
the lower end. Then place the double
cone at the bottom Of the incline, and
it will roll to the top. Although at
first sight the trick suggests a dis
turbance of the natural law of gravi-
tation, it is only an adaptation of that
we'll known principle. AS the sticks
widen the cone is correspondingly
depressed, and the center OF gravity
is equally lowered.

Deserves Your Support.

The whole country will be pros
porous when silver is restored to it's
place as money metal. This can
only be accomplished through the
action Of Congress. The people,
therefore, should support no man for
a seat in either branch of the Nation
al legislature who is not an unyielding
enemy of the gold standard and an un-
compromising friend to silver. Such
man is Francis G. Newlands and he
should receive the earnest support of
every true friend of silver in Nevada.

into black powder, from which no

to precipitats it. Senator Stewart, of
the United States Congress, has, we
are told, proceeded to Mexico with
the express purpose Of studying the
habits of this Luxurious insect, which
is said to be self-propagating. Mr..
Stewart perceives in this gold bug a
means of getting rid of the other
kind of "gold bugs that intest the

gifts by introducing it sure ptition sly
