f 12 the coui:j... THE 1HLL. Be glad that the GreaMTUl bktds thee, So thou caa'st not, with ribald mirth, Jeer in the face of thy Mother Long-suffering Mother the Earth: Remember thee verily golden, And jewelled, her Sorrow-crown: For Earth is never all darkness, By stars is her Day-spring shown. IDYLA. "ST. T COME SOOTHING SLEEP. Come soothing sleep, soft sandalled through the halls i Of night, drop thy poppy-dews upon Mine eyes, and blot the great round world from sight, Come muffle up mine ears with silence, till all The grating rounds thar mar the day shall hush. Give surcease from the corking care that haunts My brain; strew seeds of dreams. That soon or late will grow and burst to roseate bloom. Come healer of all wounds soother of all pain And bring thy balm for broken hearts, Shitter drw upon my fevered brain so full Of wild unrest. Come sweet forgetfulness Oblivious silence transient death, and give, My troubled soul an hour of peace. WILLIAM REED DUXROT. Iar to say," he ranted; "I was 'fiaid I'd miss you. I want to buy a house. I've gjt the money" "You're lucky," said Berlin, "I guess I've quit the habit of making money. I used to make as high's Ave hundred a job; cow it's how little I ceed to lose. The machines do all the work sash, frame?, casing, facing, doors and win dows carpenter ain't nothing t) do but fit thing. There's nothing in winter. We used to make furniture.but machines do that cow. The steam engine has beat the skilled woikroan eff the earth. We ain't got a living show." "But machines help, too," Durgan eaid apologetically. "Now, my father was a laborer glad to get a dollar a day; I'm a steel woiker making ten and the steam engin gave ma the job" "You talk like my daughter Milly" Durgan blushed happily. "I guess I'd ought to; we've tal'ted a lo. Say, Mr. Berlio, that's what I -wanted to talk hbout, Miss Milly she's why I want to buy a home." Every advertising rule decends for its success upen the fitness and common sense wRh which it is applied. General principles are like one of Captain Cuttle's observations, "the bearing of which lays in the applica tion on it." The Queen's Jubilee. A clear month before the date, but you will bn amused to learn that there is not a bedroom to be had in London for the night proceeding Jubilee day. I know several parties of smart people from the non, who aie comi g up for the great occasion; they have been telegraphirg right and left and getting their town friends to make exhaustive inquiries, wi.h the result that I have stated. Of course there is still some acconocVion to bft had in the remote eubuibiof Lcndcn, but as the streets are to be closed to vehicular traffic at 8 o'clock in the morning, and cabs will not bs nearly eaough to supply the demand, persons who have seats on the route n? the proctssion will tin! it almost im per sib'e to get in from the outside dis tricts. Considering this, the icquirers of whom I have been telling you hive actually been reduced to taking rooms for the night at the little town of Ilert'ord, a distance of twenty miles ,,!.-: m. - -as - " ' " Sulptio-Saline SaixitrJxii:a, Cor.

They will at least be able to reach the city by train at some uneurtbly hour in the morning. I am beginning to believe that half the people who have paid big prices for their seats will never reach them at all The reply at all the hotels is, "Oh, all our rooms are taken by Americans." Lord and Lady Wimborne have let their house in Arlington street for .2,500 (of course this is not on the route of the procession) to Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Goe" let. Mrs. Gcelet attended the last drawing-room and preeented her daugh ter, There has been so much letting of town houses, in fact, that it has become a puzzle to know where to find one's friends. The Queen has ordered the carriage that the Princess of Wales will use on jubilee Day to be in every respect similar to her own. It would seem that our venerable roverign wished to mark the probability that the next great state pageant will see the Princess in the posi tion of Queen of England a thought that adds a pathetic touch to all joyful preparations. The only difference in the two equipages will lie in the fact that while the Princess's carriage will be horsed by splendid bays, the Queen will, of course, have the famous cream stal lions that are known at the royal stables as "the Sacred Hanoverians." The Princess of Wa'es'e drawing roctu was a most bright and cheery function. The "smart set" which is a quite a different coterie from the ultra-aristocratic one mustered in force. Some of the women looked absolutely lovely. Perhaps Lady de Trafford was one of the most admired. She had an entirely original get-up, that, few women could have worn successfully, but while her slender figuer, nut-brown tresses and daintily cut features suited perfectly. It was entirely of the softest silk mus. hn over white satin, the train formed of flounce after flounce of the flimsy stuff, with great pink rosjs nestling in the billows. The bodice wa3 folded all about the 6lim waist, and caught on one shoulder by a ruby and 'diamond brace, on the other by a trail of roses. She wore a diamond crown on her proudly poised little bead. Never did woman cot born in the purple so royally be come an acquired lank. London Cor resjMJident in Town Topics. BRUSH, COLORADO.

G Fine building Btooe adjacent to the town, can be bad at from 93.75 to 81.00 per cord, thus making it cheaper to build of stone than lumber. 7 Three crop3 of alfalfa are grown'in the 6eason,"yieIding as a rule six tons per acre as the product, while wild hay on the higher land grows well and always brings a big price. The rich yield of hay makes it pre-eminently a country in which to raise cattle and hogs to the feeding stage when it is easy to drive them to the cheap corn of Nebraska. S Small fruits and vegetalbe3 of all kinds can be developed to any extent al most the real conditions when told seem almost fabulous. 9 Steam threshers in work of 1S96 show average of wheat in this vicinity to be forty bushels per acre, oats fifty bushels. 10 Entire absence of contagious diseases of both man and beast; the atmos phere is a regular daily life giver. 11 The county of Morgan, in which Brush is located, is free of debt and taxes low. are There is now excellent opening- for a first class grist mill, one hundred barrel capacit', one good hardware store, one g"ood drug- store.
