1T NEVER COMES AGAIN.

There are gains for all our losses,
There are balms for all our pain,
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts.
And it never comes again.
We are stronger, and are better,
Under manhood's sterner reign:
Still We feel that something sweet
Followed youth, with flying feet,
And will never come again.
Something beautiful is vanished,
And we sigh for it in vain;
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth and in the air,
But it never comes again.

The Deer Seasun.

The open season for hunting deer
will begin November 10 and will last
twenty days, But few changes have
been made in the game laws by the
last legislature. Watertown annually
contributes several to the number
which try their luck at big game in
northern Wisconsin and several from
here will be on the ground this year.
Following are the chief points in the
game laws concerning deer:
Unlawful to hunt deer with dog, or
with light, or at night, Or to trap.
Unlawful to kill or capture deer in
any waters, or on ice of any stream,
lake or pond within the state.
Unlawful to have IN possession any
skin of deer in red coat, or any fawr
in spotted coat.
Only two deer may be killed by
each holder of license, each deer tc
be properly tagged with coupon de.
tatched from license and showing
name and address of owner.--Ex.

with which the public had greeted the
slow-going stage coach shows how
little was required to arouse the people

That vehicle which required two
days to make the trip from New York
to Philadelphia should have been
known as s'The Flying Machine" no
longer ago than 1866, seems almost in

New YORK to Chicago in half that time.
AS a study of contrasts, before and
after the great awakening which fol-
lowed the birth of steam power ard
the inauguration Of the locomotive,
this chapter from hundred years ago
is interesting. The stage coach was
