SOME PRAIRIE BREEzEs.
A CRITICISM.

"A damsel stood upon the stage,
A stage-worn damsel she,
A critic sat and heard her sing,
A world-worn critic he.
I'm saddest when 1 sing" she sang,
A tear stood in her eye,
He sighed, the wretch, and murmured
to
Himself: "And so am L"
II cannot sing the old songs"
She sang. Sighed he-''Tis true,
Two kinds of songs you cannot sing,
The old ones-and the new"
ooh, for q thousand tongues to sing
I'd give my eyes," he hears.
"And l" he murmured, had you them,
Would give away my ears"
Had I the wings of any dove"
She sang, II would rejoice"
He muttered: 'You could make them
from
The feathers in your voice."

ON THE DEATH OF A POOR
WOMAN.

WOMAN.
Rev'rently fold her still hands DER her
breast,
Lay her cold form in her coffin to rest.
Tears for her husband who sits there
beside,
His worn, wrinkled cheeks wet in sor-
rows flood tide.
What though her beauty has faded
and flown,
His sad fancy weaves as he sits there
alone
The fabrics of glad youth in fresh
ness and bloom,
While Memory backward turns Times
busy loom.
Though sunken her cheeks now; her
form worn and slim,
She is lovely to him; still is lovely to
him.
Heavily, heavily rest the long years;
OFT smiles light her cheeks and oft
bate them her tears.
Through life's woe and happiness
labOrS she on,
A good wife and mother to father and
sol
Tolls with her tireless hands through
the long day,
Her kiss and her smile drive his sor-
rows away
In pain bears and buries her children;
now goes
10 join them at last in Deaths silent
repOse.
What wonder il worn her once fresh
ness and grim,
She is lovely to him; still is lovely to
him.
Toll, ~tirclcss and tedious, her little lot
here,
With little of rest or Of gladness to
cheer.
Yet patient she serves; ne'er bemoans
Of complains,
Full repaid if her toll adds it's mite tc
his gains.
Though humble r.eir cottage, ill-fur-
nished and worn,
She seeks with her busy hands home
to adOrn
With many a deft touch and fashion
ing wrought,
OF loves pregnant genius and loves
eager thought,
And as she lies still, in his eyes wet
and dim,
She is lovely to him; still is lovely tc
him.
What though her rough cheek i
wrinkled With care;
Her hands are toil-WOrn, and though
thin her gray hair.
What though her garments ill-fash
toned and old,
The heart that once beat in that breas
was pure gold.
No jewels of wealth can he offer thu
dead,
But tears are his jewels of true love
instead.
God sees those lives rent and river
apart,
Sees the ash OF his hearth and TIN
wreck of his heart,
And whispers He low, when life's ligll
is so dim,
~'She is lovely to Him; she is lovely tt
Him."

authority was Scotch fife AMI it is

No. 1 hard.
In August, 1851, Charles Cavalier
arrived at Pembina. At THAT date the
Red River valley, except the Selkirk
settlement. was a bowling waste
throughout it's whole length and
breadth. Then there were only four
white men in that section, namely, N.
w. Kittson, Joseph Rolette, George
Morrison and Charles Cavalier. There
were 1,SOO or 1000 half breeds and
Mr.. Cavalier says he was born among
the Wyandotte Indians in Ohio and
brought up near them. that the Indians
ut Pembina were not much Of a cur
iosity to him, but the half breed was
4 new phase of the genus. and to this
day, says he, 81 have not fully made
up my mind whether the cross between
the white man and the red man was
much Of an improvement, as with but
few exceptions the Indian blood pre-
dominates"
The S%elkirkers generally had large
families and old and young worked
together on the homesteads. While
like other farmers they suffered from
drouth, grasshoppers and frosts, vet
they usually secured good crops, and
saved a reserve for two or three years,
an amount Of seed, and sold the sur
plus to the Hudson's Bay company.
Occasionally they would have poor
crops and perhaps be compelled to use

CHAPTER ].

With an air of brusque 1mpatlence,
as II 1T had been minded to pass by
spot of earth so insignificant, the long
overland train halted before the tiny
box of station that introduced the
travelling world to Hereford City. A
few pieces of baggage and express mat
ter were shot out upon the platform,
while from the last sleeper, so far in the
rear as to seem altogether outside the
corporate limits of the place, one pas
senger was assisted to the ground with
gallant care on the part OF conductor
and porter which told all observers that
the lady was young and fair, even be-
fore her features were fully revealed.
Then, with blatant grumbling, as if
wholly eXasperated at so much time
wasted, the heavy train strained dog
gedly onward toward the glowing west,
and Hereford City was left to desola-
ton which seemed akin to shipwreck.
Edith Ellery stood for a moment mo-
tionless on the bare, weather beaten plat
form, glancing expectantly around the
assembled faces, her gaze rather blank
ly straying ON to the frame section
house across the way, like the station
neatly painted in that dark red brown
beloved of the Union Pacific railroad,
supposedly considering the untidy array
of sheds and corrals that Uttered the
foreground nearer the tracks and the
huge water tank on the other side, with
the engine house squatting III its shad-
ow, from the door of which the blue
shirted engineer returned her gaze with
meditative interest. These, with few
empty cattle cars on n side track, APP
peared to comprise all that man had

had an annoyed consciousness that she
had become all object of quite intense
interest to all the small community
A slatternly woman appeared i'll the
open doorway of the section house, I'M
tremendously brushing the children out
of the way while she usurped their
place on the step. A couple of men, who
had been lounging in the rear of the COW
sheds, strnlled heavily nearer. The alert
young station agent plainly had one eye
upon her while he delivered some of the
late arrived express matter to man of
the cowboy type who also betrayed his
interest in covert Chances, while a
NANCY dog, having the advantage over
his human competitors in freedom from
conventional restraint walked up, sniff
ing about her gown with sanguine DEM
onstrations of friendliness.
There had been ii distinct expression
of surprise ard discomfiture in the first
glance around, comprehending that no
friendly face was there to bid her wei
come which now was deepening into
something like CONSERVATION as she
grasped the limitations of this place in
which she found herself, TO all intents,
alone, with night so near at hand. But
Edith Ellery was not given to nervous
tremors, and although she felt her heart
sinking within her she still wore a stur-
dy little air of self reliance as she made
her way toward the observant gentle
man i'll the official cap.
