Why cherish a hojw thut is ended?
Why look, down the vista of years?
But to hu flora loiiK-huricd sorrow,
To open a wound with new team.
'Tin over, Cornet it as unci ess,
No matter how anxious we he,
To try to go hack or nnrover,
A pearl that is lost in the sea.
Why waste precious moment in thinking
Of m-eiies that were beau ti hi I then Y
Why linger o'er graven t tut hold trwiMirett?
They'll never return itimin.
Why wish lor our youth anil it glad newt ;
When Irom sorrow and care we are tree
Whi ti 'tis gone Iroinoiti gr.ip, goueloruvur,
a pearl that is lost in the wa !
Why mourn for the hour that luut vanished;
li y grieve tor the thiiigH that are lost?
Why weep lor the (lowers in summer ;

Can we iiiiiketiuicsLiudstill or turn hick-

Or revive the dead rose to the h-a?
We might just m well try a go searching

AN EXCITINC TIME.
The last issuo of the, .lri;ont Kicker
contains the following:
A I.IK NAII.KII.
Old Mose Taylor that excrescence
oil the face of humanity, who has becu
licked, rail-ridden, jailed, and bounced
from every towu in the Kast is report
ing around town that we let up on (leorge
the ttouger because he suliscrilicd to the
Kli'b r. As there may be some one fool
enough to believe the old hycua's yarn we
will explain that (Jeorge, who keeps Ihe
checkered front saloon, was falsely repre
sented to us by a rival iu business, who
hoped to drive him out of town. We
did wade iuto him for a spell, and even
tried to get him lynched, but we were
in error. While he has shot three men,
they wi re all trying to get the drop on
him. (leorge his subscribed for the
A'n7ivr because he likes it, aud we have
let up on him because he is au enterpris
ing eitiien who means to do what WO K.
We return our thanks for a buttle of
port, sent us yesterday. As for old Mose.
we've lift-light the rope with which to
hang him within a week if he docsu't
leave town.

we must say that of all the low down,

Major Doty has come in and subscrided
for the KUker since the above was in
type, and has also contracted for Stil)
worth of advertising. We take pleasure
in informing our readers that he is a bus
iness man of the o'd school, honest, re
liable and truthful, and that as a citir.cn
his record is above reproach. Long may
he wave.
A SI Sl'll.'IOl'S CHARACTER.
That old superannuated wiud bag who
runs the HV.V,(y Shir aud calls himself
an editor aud publisher has agaiu been
eiilicising the political coursj of the
A'li .vr. We invite and can stand criti
cism from men of sense, but the idea of
an old jail bird breaking the burs in Illi
nois, robbing a farmer of his hogs, and
comiug West to start a paier with the
proceeds and criticise his superiors from
week to week is a little too catosh.
For the benefit of the ofliceisoflhe
law we would say that this old cuss, who
goes by the name of Daniels, is about 50
years old, yellow-faced long-nosed, sever
al warts on his chin, and has a game leg.
He can, no doubt, be tried for a di-i -n
different crimes. o did think once of
singling him, hut the cost of the shot
and powder 6gured more than his car
cass is worth.
"liilliger McSwat, remove your arm
instantly !''
tlreat drops of perspiration broke out
on the broad, intellectual brow of tb
young man to wliom these words were
addressed.
"Have I presumed too much on the
kiniluess and familiarity with which sh
has treated me?" he said lo himself
"Have I lost her?'' No! Xu! It cannot
tic: It must not be: And lie gave
voice to the emotions that lluilled his
soul:
"Lobelia (irubb," he said, with the
yearning, passionate warble of a young
poet tendering the first paroxisms of his
muse to a red whiskered, cross-eyed litera
ry editor, "hear what I have to say first."
Clearing las throat with convulsive en
ergy he went on:
"For the love of heaven, Lobelia, do
uot tell me that I have been mistaken iu
thiukiug the uniform regard that has
marked your conduct towards ni-3 during
the l.i.-t six iu intlts to be a warmer scnti
merit thau that of mere I'lielidship 1 Do

my breast like a Uuv iukeo avenue ten
ement house er. etc! on t he contract pluu.
He your own guitle, tinder, pitiful self,
and"
"liilliger MeSwat, remove your arm !"
"One moment, Lobelia I Think of
he happy, soulful hours we havo uncut
ov. r Dante, Urowning and and the hen
and a half problem ! Call to mind the
enjoyment, the enthusiasm, the er pa
tience with which we have attended lec

"Billiger McSwat, remove your aim'.''
"And listen to the pleading of your
own gentle heart wht u I tell you of the
sorrow that a hasty decision on your part
would cost me now. I could not bear it.
From a private letter shown us by
gentleman I which ws written by one
whom he enns'il.rs oiniii-tioiialile
ihority) dated ()-k-sir, Wi ., we obtniu
the following remarkable story :
Several days ago there came a peddler
to the ho'ise of a woman on Eighteenth
street, O'knsh, Wis , who olTered lor sale
lliblis, prayer books, tracts aud oilier re
ligious literature. The woman who re-
lused to liny anything ol the poildUr.
told him she had rather have a devil in
her house than a llible. The pnldliT
replied to this remark hy sajing that she
would have a devil soon enough, and hl't
the house. The woman, a day or two
after that, gave birth to a child, which
had horns and the appearance of a devil,
and having lour teeth. A Mocti r was
called in and, up in his suggesting, ou ac
count of the hideous deformity of the
child, or devil, its dca'h by killing, the
ere dure spoke, siyiug: "Vou will uot
kill me; I shall live seven yeais and win n
1 die 1 shall take my moih-r wiih inc."
W lie her or not the story is true can
not be said, but ihe grntlemitt who re
ceived tip! letter is firm in the beii d'that
the slory is Irue and has wiiltcu to par
ties to visit the house and write him
more full v. Kx.
A BROKEN HEART.
I
came here this eveniug, lijtielia, oppress
ed by the news just received that I have
lost my only uncle. In the breast pock
et of this co.it U tlu letl :r tint conveys
the sad news. It is I rue lie was a man
of great wealih. He was worth, perhaps,
a iiiarter ol a nullum, uud in the letter
of which I speak I am informed by his
solicitor that am hiss ile heir, but"
"liost your only uncle? Oh, I am so
sony I Let it be my mission to couifoit
you, liilliger 1"
tiently, forgivingly the fair maiden
beamed upon that sorrowing young man
as she laid her beautiful head with its
wealth of golden hair tenderly aud con
solingly on the breast prckct containing
the sad letter.
And Rilliger did not remove his arm.
One of the inmates of the county jail
at Winona, Minn., Iiobert Dillion, died
from a broken heart on Sunday evening
in the jail building. The story of his fate
is n sad oue. He came to Winona 15
years ago, at which time lu was known
to he engaged to be married to a very es
timable young lady of l'eoria, 111. He
was once engaged by William llayef,
and afterward by otlurs of Ihe leading
business houses as a bookkeeper, and
made friends fast, but a jealous rival cir
culated malicious stories about him,
prejudicing his intended bride against
him until he was rejected, lie took to
the cup and drank freely, until finally l.e
could not do without it. lie started a
saloon about two years ago, and last
spring was found guilty of selling li.pior
to Indians. He was bound over to the
fall term of the Tnitt d States Circuit
Court hy Commissioner Berry, and in
default of bail he was committed to the
jail, where he died broken hearted in a
sad condiliou, and uumourncd sive hy
his friends among the prison inmates.
His mother is a highly-respected lady,
lives at Xeuia, Ohio, and is in good cir
cumstances. Ex.

LOVE LICHTENS TOIL.
A straw colored bull pup, an organ
grinder with a monkey, an lri-h woman
with a ba-ket of bananas, a colored man
with bucket of lime on his head, an in
ebriattd sailor, a white igirl with a new
pair of shoes under her arm, and a coun
tryman lua cheap blue suit, with a saeliel
aeeuiiugly iuite heavy, were all walking
down Maiu street yesterday towards the
lallianuc b rrv. J lie hull pun was
ahead of the procession. His tail stuck
out straight, his eyes gleamed and be
walked as though full of business. Sud
denly the Irish woman slij ied on a piece
of amilo ) el. Her feet Hew out and
she dropped ihe basket violently on the
monkey. The uioiikey shrieked; the bull
pup ar"e a short distance iu the air
through astonishment and eicitcuicui.
and then swept like flash between the
organ grinder's legs. The Italian let go
the organ, the crank of which he had
been turning as he walked, and the an
eient Roman melisly. "Blue Violet,'1
was crushed to earth again. In trying
to escape the dog the colored man drop
ped hift bucket of liiiio, tho contents d
whica were splattered over the sailor,
who swore tud flung up his anus, one of
them sinking the white girl acrim the
nose. She naturally ejaculated. The
couiilryuian. likewise alarmed by the dog
and the cuiumotioii ahead, dropped his
aachel on the animal and began to run.
The bull pup bowled and tin country
man fell over his sacjiel sprawling, and

How easy it is to work when we arc
happy ! How delightful, when we are
happy, to work for those we love.
A life of constant toil, merely for sub
sistence, is very hard and sad. No heart
can Ih nr it. The strain will break the
courage and sour ihe temper of anybody
There must be before the worker some
better reward (ban the supply of h
mere bhvsieal wants, or ho will become a
disisintented being.
He must work for love ui ire than for
money, or he is miserable. The thought
of loving hearts at home nerves the
strong arm of the man at lies toil, and
-ends the warm IiIim.J singing I broil:
his heart. The wife, in her household
labor, is happy, thinking of the evening
hour, when she may sit down with hi r
husband and be rewarded by his lovin
companionship for all that, during Ihe
day, she accomplishes or endures for hi in
and her little ones.
She knows nut how hard she works,
so long as hc is happy in him. She
would, ifci-d were, kill h. rself wiih
h trd labor for his sake, and not dream
that she was dying. And he, il a true
man, would do ihe same for her. For
what do warm, fund hearts know of how
much they endure for each other '.'
" Why," they say, i lio more the better.
It is for lovi? for love."
What kitchen umh r ground, what
baek attic, seven stories high, it dreaiy
enough to darken the face of the maiden
working to make ready for her love's
visit. No ono ever mw a plaoe that
could do it. I'mler the excitement
love, especially of love requited, wonders
of work, otherwise impossible, have been
accomplished; and so it will be again,
and the worker baldly knows that he has
tasked.

So, young lady. you've just got married,

desire to touviucc your early inuipanions
and your resent associates that you
have made a good match, and iu order to
o this you will diioctly, in your daily
mlicy and indirectly in your customary
talk, make them believe that he isagieat
il "better oil"' than he is. Vou must
have marble mantels, and taidry car
pets, and you waut a piano, upon which
you don't kuow how to play, simply he-
cause your old friend Mary Jane has
one; and a thousand other costly articles
must be obtaiued, all to gratify your
vanity.
Your poor husband gratifies your de
sires to the extent of his abilities, says
he cannot do more, and then you become
sulky, pout, leave the buttons off his
hirt, and let him shirk fur himself
'around the house."
Voung lady, you have made a mistake.

The London (Unlit- says: llerlin wo
men have reached au extreme of folly by
inveuling this "pestage stamp language."
The stamp in the usual place, that is on
the top right hand corner of the euvelope,
means, when upright, "I desire your

upsldednwu, ' Llou't write again," crook
ed, 'Write at once." When the stamp
is at tin; bottom corner en the right

PICTURES.
A room with picture in it and a room
without pictures differ by nearly as much
as a ris.ni wiih windows and a n iu will -
out windows. Nothing, we think, is
more mtlaueholy. particularly to a person
who has to pass much tune in his room,
than blank walls and nothing on ilietn
for pictures are loopholes of escape to
tho soul, leading it to oilier scenes and
other sphcrm. It is such an incxpri'ssi
hie relief to a person engaged in writing,
or even reading, ou looking up, n it to
have his line of vision chopped sipiare off
by an o li m white wall, but to hud his
soul escaping, ns it were, through the
frame or an exquisite picture, to oilier
boaul i'ul and, pirhaps, idyllic scene',
where the fancy for a moment may revel,
refresh and be delighted. Is it winter in
your world ? Perhaps it is summer in
the picture. W hat a charming momen
tary change and contrast! And thus
pictures are consolers of loneliness; they
are a sweet flattery to the soul; they aie
a relief to ihe jided mind; they are
windows to the imprisoned thought; they
ire books; they are histories and tonnons
which we can rood without the trouble
of turning over the leaves.
The miuister always fell il hi duty to
givo each young couple a little serious
advice before he ucrforiM'il Ihe marriage
ceremony, and for this purpose he usually
took them aside, one at a time, and talked
very soberly to each ol them reading the
great iuiHrtanee of the step they were
lo take and the new responsibilities lin y
wire to assume.
One day he talked ill his in si earnest
manner for several luinnti s to a youn.
woman who had conic to be married to a
blight loosing young man.
"And now," ho added, in closing, "I
hope you fully rcalin- the extreme iin
portanee of the step you are taking, and
hat yoa are prepared for it."
"Prepared?" she Said, innocently,
"Well, if I aiu't prepared I don't know
who is. I ve gut four common iuilti
and two nice ones, and lour brand new
feathir beds, ten sheets and twelve pairs
of pillow-slips, four all linen table cloth:
a del n spoons, and a good six quart
brass kettle. If I ain't prepared no girl
in this country ever was."
Indignant Subscriber Bay, is the
editor in ?
"No. What do vou want?"
"I want to amash his darned head
that's what I want."
"Well, if you'll wait half an hour he'll
be heie. Ik s down at the gymnasium
