..OCTOBER 23, 16 SK.tTIllEKTiL Ayi ii'ssi. THE CLOSISQ SCENE.; BIT. B. ESAJD. Ths following Is pronounced by the TtestufKafsr Review to be unqaes'-ioaably the fluent American poem ever written :j Within the sober realm of leafless trees, : Tue i unset year ionaied the dreamy air: Like gem tanned reper, la Jala hoar of ea--, Wben ail the fields are lying brown and bare. Tiia gray barns looking from, their hazy u U .. O'er toe dan waters widening In the Sent down tbe air a greeting to tbe mills, Oa the dail thunder of alternate flails. . All sights were mel.owed and all sounds subdued, The bills seemed further and tbe stream sang low, i An In a dream the distant woodman hewed His Winter log with mny muffled blow. - t - . . ? . ' The embsttled forests, erewnils armed with gold, .. Their banner bright with every martial Now stood like some sad, beaten host of old. Withdrawn afar In Time's remotest blue. Oa sombre wing the vulture tried his liigbt: - - The dove scarce heard his signing mate's complaint; -- - - And, like a star slow drowning lathe light, Tbe - Ulage church vane seemed to pale ndf tint, .. The sentinel cock upon the hlllslda crew I' rev tbrice, and aU was stiller than be fore: .- i ..; Silent, till some replying warden blewMls alien horn, and then was heard no . more. . - Where erst the lay. rltbln the elm's tall crest. Made garrulous trouble mid her unfie ged young. . . . And where the oriole swung her swaying nest, - By every light wind like a censor swnng. Where sang the noisy martens of the cves. The busy swallows circling ever near . Foreboding, as the raatla mind believes.; . An early harvest and a plenteous year. Where every bird that waked the veraal least, .- Shook tbe sweet slumbers from its wings at morn, To warn tbe reaper of the rosy east All now was sunless, empty and forlorn. Alone, from out the stubble, piped the quail. And croaked the crow through all tbe dreary gloom ; Alone tbe pheasant, drumming in - the Madeecnoln the distance to the cottage loom. ' : - There was no bud. no bloom npon the bowers. The spiders moved tbelr thin shrouds night by nlgbt; The thistle down, the only ra, Sailed slovIy by psed ghost ol flownoiselessly out signt. ."....',' Amid all this, in this most dreary air, ' Ana where the woodbine sheds opou the porch 1 Its crimson leaves, as if the year stood there, Firlog tbe floor with Its inverted torch; Amid all this, the centre of the scene, f The white-haired matron, with monotonous tread, Plied the swift w heel, and with her Joyous mien Pat like fate and watched the flying thread. he had known sorrow. He had walkod with her. Oft supped and broke with her the ashen croM, And in tbe dead leaves still heard the stir Of his tnlck mantle trailing in tbe dait. While yet her cheek was bright with summer bloom. Her country summoned, and she gave her ail; And twice war bowed to her his sable plume Begave the sword to rust upon tbe wall. Uegave the sword, but not the hand that otew " - , , i And Btinck' for liberty the dying blow; Nor bhn wbo, to hi sire and eountry true, Fell 'mid tbe ranks or tbe invading foe. Long, bnt not loud, tbe droning wheel went oa, Like the low murmur of a hive at noon; Long, but not loud, the memory of the gone Breamed through her tips a sad and tremulous tone. At last the thread was snapped, her head was bowed ; Ufa dropped the distaff through her hand mens; And loving neighbors soothed her careful shroud. White death and love closed Ibe antumn scene. Coigns of vantage Specie. A great tail bearer A peacock. "Account currents" Tide tables, i Trifles light Ys 'air Flax chignons. A dangcroun appendage The un-der-toe. ' , A stirring event Making hasty pudding. , .i . A golden wedding Marrying for money. ' , , A paper wedding Marrying an editor. A tin wedding Marrying a milkmaid. The largest ants in the world are eleph-ants. The current that was stemmed gre w on a busb. ' ' ' To keep your wife in constant cheek, make her dress n gingham. Motto for female suffragists : "Once more into the breeches, dear friends.'! The sign to tell a Scotchman by Aula Lang oyue. , Improper music Overtures to the r vtt i merry wives ox v;nasor. People who let the grass grow. under their feet: Aeronauts. Most people like strength, for it is ennobling' but they don't fancy it in butter. , Wanted to know immediately What is "the milk of human kindness" per quart? "What two sea-side resorts does a sheep walking lame remincLyott of? Ram's-gait and mar-gait. A Western editor aays many of hi subscribers wonld make good wheel horses, they hold back so well. Cox. foe Bismarck Why ia the North Sea like the Unity of the Fatherlands? Because it ia the Great German-notion. A lady, speaking of the gathering of lawyers to dedicate a new court house, eaid she supposed they had gone "to view the place where they must shortly lie." A well known wit says no Yankee is satisfied with the truth unless you can furnish him with positive proof that it is worth eight or ten per cent. . An Unlimited Mail. The sort of train one never misses on any railway the black mail levied by the porters and other officials. A man in tellirisc about a wonder ful parrrot hanging in a cage from the wicdow of a house, which ho had often passed, said: "It cries "Stop thief 1' so naturely that every time I hear it I always slop!" One ox Judy's Scotch contributors says ha has no notion how much Mrs. BeecnerStowe may have got for her article tm Lord byron. but it ia pretty certain she has made a "Diel out of him. The Nataral History Society of PittsfieM have a button found at Perry's .Peak, which is supposed to have been dropped by Ham, the son of Noah, while leaning over the taffrail of tbe ark in a fit of sea-sickness.

"Coma era; frota under that bed, you young5 scoundrel," said a father to his son. - , .-:.t I . -I shan't Jo it." 4' " ' ? "WelV then, stay under the bed. I'll be d d if I ain't going to be minded somehow!" Dreadful- Diteraiisation. A charming young friend of Judy's, who has got tired of the prevailing fashion for short dresses, recently horrifi jd her friends by deolairing she wholdj)u an end to herself! She subsequently explained to their great relief, that she only meant to resume "long tails." , . ; A Hint tor Ma Boxjcicatjlt. During the Formosa controversy a great , deal has been said about the sumptuous surroundings and gorgeous apparel of the lady. This certainly is not a3 it should be. The proper color for such . a person is drab, t .' 4 ! ;- 'ii-.s Ruling the Waves. A member of the Philomathic Society of Paris proposes to " "utilise the force now expended uselessly by the waves of Jhe sea.1' We are inclined to think it will be supererogatory;' to try to bind the. tide It of course remains to be proved whether watches, could ba supplied with motive power by the Sjrm tide, or musiaal boxes be fitted with Keap tunes. " ' : ' : ! A" Spanish, priest once, exhorting the soldiers to fight like lions, added, in the ardor of his enthusiasm: "Beflect my children, that whosoever falls to-day sups to-night in Paradise.'!, Loud applause followed the sentiment, , The fight began,, the ranks wavered, and the priest took to hia heels, when a soldier, stopping him, reproachfully referred to the promised supper in Paradise. "True,! my son, true, 'aid the priest, "but I never take cupper." , ,.! ,u " i A man was once relating a 'story of being on a locomotive ; that struck a cow standing on the track, and threw her several yards into the field, where she lit squarely upon her feet, with her head , towards , the train, and strange to say she wasn't hurt a mite. ."But didn't 6he look scared?" inquired a listener. "Well, I don't know whether she was scared or not, but' she looked a

good deal discouraged, t . .- j An imaginative writer says: "Woman is compounded of three articles, sugar, tincture of arnica, and soft soap. '.Sugary because of the sweetness which is apparent in most Iwomen alas! that in some it should have acidulated into . strong domestic vinegar; arnica, because in woman is to be found that quality of healing and soothing after the . bruises and wounds which afflict us men in the great battle of life; and soft soap, for reasons too obvious to need specific a maiden's "psalm of life." : Tell us not in idlo jingle "marriage is an empty aream, ior tne girt is dead that's siogle, and things are not what they seem. Lifo is real, life is earnest, . single blessedness a Jab; "Man thou art, to man returnest," has been spoken of the rib. Not en joyment and cot sorrw is our destined end and way, but to act that each to morrow finds us nearer marriage day. Life is long-and youth is fleeting, and our hearts, though light and gay, still pleasant drums aro beating weddinir marches all the way. In the world's broad field of battle, in the bivouac of life, be not like dumb driven cattle bo a heroine a wife. Trust no future, howe'er pleasant, let the dead past bury its dead! aot, act in the living present, heart within hope ahead! Lives of married folks remind us we can live our lives as well, and . departing leave behind ua such examples as abali "tell: such examples that another, wasting time in idle sport,' a forlorn unmarried brother, seeing, shall take heart and oourt. Let us, then, be up and doing. with a heart on triumph set; still contriving, still pursuing, and caoh one a husbaUd get. . Scisk 'AT : Elko. Place : Treat's bar-room. Enter stranger from Chi cago, isar-Keeper, what - ao you charge for a drink of spirits in this placer I wo bits, answered the bar-keeper. ; "Ah, two bits; that is twenty-live cents, I believe." "Yes, sir, twenty-five cents quarter of a dollar." "A-h, yes," drawled the new comer, as he handed a greasy fourbit postal eurrenoy from his vest rocket, and laid it on the . counter. "Can't give 'you any change out of that eot no ; rarer currency here. replied the " bar-keeper. "Indeed.' Why, in Chicago we take this money at par for anythimg for anything whatever. ! Strange country this.' . "Can't help it. Got no change to give you." "Well, letmes-e-e," and the stranger went prospecting ail over himself to get soma metalio substance in the shape of a quarter, which he found in his boot. "Here is a quarter, sir : and I will take a little , whisky. We use moet excellent whisky in Chicago, and we only pay one dime a drink for it. Ileal ly, sir, you should introduce Chicago trade out here in this abominable expensive country 1 where, too, you uso nothing but gold and surer. 1 sue? that l will take a little whisky." The bar-keeper set out the whisky bottle and a tumbler. and the Chicago trader proceeded to help himself to a "horn,'f which filled the whole tumbler. He then asked the bar-keeper to lend him another glass, which that functionary accord-i melv did. and the stranger from Chicago Doured half the contents of his elass into it even measure and then turninz to the door of the bar room, he beckoned to his next friend. whom he called Jacob, and asked him to take a drink the very thing Jacob was anticipation, and ao cordingly approached the bar." with anxious appetite, and just about as he was grasping the coveted glass, tbe bar-keeper "smelt a good sized rat,", and taking hold of the tumbler he set it under the counter, at the same time taking.the other glass he poured its contents on the floor in front of the bar, and pushing the two bits back to its owner, stearnly and mcst emphat ically toll his new comer to "Git we don't want none of your Chicago trade here! The above is an inci dent which positively took place in Elko only a few days ao, when the Eastern train of cars arrived. G. H, Netcs. ; H.
