Those roses in her golden hair, The child with joy do fill; On boss n cold,'the flowers fiir, Do please it—ay, more stall. It calls in tones c tressing, mild, “Mother, dear mother, pray, A flower give thy dtriing ch Id. Bat one from thy boquet.” But, since no sound the silence breaks, .

One of our contemporaries sees i infinite trouble in the future in ' settling Brigham Young's estate, I The old fellow is very rich, but then when he dies each of his : twenty five widows will expect her third. An incorrigible loafer, being ■ taken to task for his laziness, re , pfied, “I tell you, gentlemen, you are mistaken. I have not a lazy bone in my body, but the fact is r I was born tired.” It was the same fellow who threw himself ruefully down m der a tree one hot day. closed his eyes, and languidly murmured, “Now breathe if you want to —I'll be hanged if 1 will.”’ The Keokuk Gate City says : j “Mr. Rose married Miss Violet at 1 Winterset last week.
