First Stage Coach Into Denver.

Pony Express
Red shirts drifted to the outskirts
OF the hamlet and dotted the hills
around. Hard-faced bartenders made
ready for the hottest night that ever
tore the camp loose" The artillery
OF holster and saddle-boot was un-
limbered for an ecstatic fusilade.
There was lively betting in dust and
nuggets that the first through stage
had been gathered in by Indians, with
takers as eager to stake their faith
that the scalps OF driver and guard
would come through intact.
At length a swirl of dust showed
far down the trail. 1t grew into a
yellow cloud that crept toward the
eager hamlet. Then six mules,
stretched out on the gallop emerged
from this curtain and behind them
was the numbering. swaying stage,

Denver was in touch with the world
where men wore white shirts and
lived in real houses. The cheers that
roared welcome to this heroic enter
prise were echoed in every Western

THE PROFIT OF TEARS.

Is it raining, little flower?
Be glad of rain.
The sun that veils itself from thee
Will shine again.
The clouds are very black, tits true;
But just behind them shines the blue
Art thou weary, tender heart!

In sorrow sweetest things will grow,
As flowers in rain.
God watches, and thou wilt have sun
When clouds their perfect work have done
