And most employed when Others Sleep
What few would wish to give away,
And none would wish to keep"
Probably the best riddle, or rather enigma,
as far as versihcation and wording con-
cerned, is the following, which when it first
appeared was credited again and again to
Lord Byron; but now it is known that it was
written by Miss Catherine Fanshawe:
THE LETTER
"'Twas whispered in heaven, twas muttered
in hell,
And echo caught family the sound as it fell:
On the confines of earth twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence
confessed;
Twill be found in the sphere when it's riven
asunder;
Be seen in the lightning and heard in the
thunder;
Twas allotted to man with his earliest breath,
1t assists at his birth and attends him in death,
Presides Ger his happiness, honor and health,
Is the prop of his house and the end of his
wealth;
In the heaps of the miser it s boarded with care,
But is sure to be lost in his prodigal heir;
1t begins every hope, every wish it must bound;
1t prays with the hermit, with monarchs Isl
crowned;
W ltnOuC IL the SOlQleT, the sailor, may roam,
But woe to the wretch who expels it from home;
In the whisper of conscience it's sure to be
found;
Nor zen in the whirlwind of passion is drowned;
Twill soften the heart but, though deaf to
the ear,
1t will make it acutely and instantly hear;
But in short let it rest like delicate flower,
Oh, breathe on it softly; it dies in an hour
Another in the same vein and almost as
well put, is far too good to remain uncredited
and unclaimed; but such has been its fate
THE LETTER
Il am not in youth nor in manhood age,
But in infancy ever am known
I'm stranger alike to the fool and the sage,
And though I'm distinguished in history's page,
l always am greatest alone.
I'm not in the earth nor the sun, nor the moon
You may search all the sky-I'm not there;
In the morning and evening, though not in
the noon,
You may plainly perceive me, for, like a
balloon,
In always suspended in air.
Though disease may possess me, and sickness
and pain,
| am never in sorrow or gloom;
Though in wit and in wisdom l equally reign,
I an the heart of all sin, and have lived long
in vain;
Yet l neer shall be found in the tomb

(By Frank J. Graf.)

Bisbee, Nov. 20.
 The principal features in today's market was the advance in North Butte. The notice of the declaration Of a 75c dividend per share was issued today, and caused this stock to ad- vance to s73.50. If you remember, this stock was booked to reach the S75 mark before the first of December. and it now looks as though it would reach that point at that time. We have not as yet received any news regarding the meeting of the c. & A. 10 be held on the 22nd, but much is expected. The condition of the market weakened con siderably, and at the close there was no demand for stocks. Junction had been offered freely al s29 without talk CTS. but we look to see it reach the $50 mark before the close of the week. Warren Realty and Dev. Go. acted somewhat cratic today, opening this morning al SIG bid, and at the close sl4 was the best bid that We could get. Denn-Arizona has also been in fair de mand at $14, but Bisbee has none to offer at this price.

Humboldt. Nov. 1S.-There is a steady progress in improvements at the smelter city.
 The heavy storm which visited this section recently neceSsitated a tenn porary suspension of active operations on most of the construction work now in progress, but at present every de partment is moving forward with re newed vigor Two of the 90-foot stacks for the Sterling boilers are now in position, and the two others in course of erection, when completed. will add much to the substantial ap- pearaace of the plant.
 The power house is now almost a completed structure, and the heavy machinery to be installed in this build ing is being placed in position. The installation of the large engine is un- der the supervision of NIT. Reed, a competent man sent out by the manu- lecturers, Sorberg & Co.,, of Detroit, Mich
 Most of the heavy machinery for the sampling mill is in place, and force of structural steel workers is busily engaged putting on the corrugated iron covering on the steel frame of the model building The concentrating mill is running steadily day and night, the concentrates being stored in tenn porary bins until the shelter is com- pleted.
 Several carloads of ore are arriving daily from the mines at Middleton. and it is obviously the intention of the management to have an adequate sup ply of good ore on hand by the time the plant is ready to handle same. The force of brick masons are now working on the roaster building, and MT. Edwards, whose father was the inventor of the Edwards roasters, which are to be used here. arrived on Tuesday to superinteud the installa- tion.
 The new depot at the smelter spur is no wabout completed, and it is an imposing and most commodious struc ture in every respect, which reflects much credit upon the foresight of the railroad in erecting such a substan tial building at the site of the future ! metropolis of this section of Arizona

GLAD THOUGHTS.

I'm glad the hippopotamus.
Does not live in my town with us, :
For think how awkward it would be
If one should ever step on me.
I'm glad that Nightmares are not real,
For they are bad enough at night,
And if they ran around by day
I guess US boys would die from fright.
I'm glad that pumpkins have no legs,
For our cook is very wise,
And if she had to chase them, she
Would not bake many pumpkin pies.
