My bluo-eyed pet, with goldon hair. Is sitting on my knee, And gazes eagerly afar. Across the beach beyond the bar, Where roll* tho restless sea. She puts her little hand in mine. And laughs with childish glee, To see tho foaming billows sx>lash, As on tho shore they fiereoly dash, And guide back silently. But when she laughs so morrily My heart is far away; And as I look upon the shore. Where loud and long the breakers roar, My sad soul seems to say: •'The sea is like a human life; It breaks upon the shore Of time with a restless might, And when the goal is just in sight, Dios to return no more. "And all along the shore of time Full many a wreck doth lie; The pangs of many a mad carouse. Of blasted hopes and broken vows, Of happy days gone by.” Yet while I muse in mournful mood, And gaze upon the sea, My bluo-eyed pet, with golden hair, Whose heart has never known a care, btill sits upon my knee. Her head is resting on my breast. Her eyes in slumber deep; The same rough sea whose breakers roar, Aul madly, fiercely lash the shore, 11 a s lulled my child to sl jep, How Two Texas Friends Met and Ex changed Compliments. Two men hailed each other from tho op posite banks of a stream and exchanging greetings, many friendly questions were put and answered. The men who evi dently delighted to meet each other, and their only regret appeared to be that they encountered one another in a place w lie re it was impossible for them to clasp and shake hands, the river not being fordable on account of its swiftness and the rocky and treacherous nature of its channel, while the nearest bridge was five milos above. Both men lamented these unfort unate circumstances very much, but ot length a way of getting over the difficulty suggested itself to one of them, whose pet name was “Broncho Bill.” “I say, Sam !” cried Broncho, “it’s a lit tle rough for old friends and neighbors to meet away out here, thousands of miles from home, anil then have to part in this way. Got yer pistal with yer?” “I hev 1” cried Sam; "allere carry he." “Good! That's soi le comfort; of wo can’t get across this yar stream to skake hands, why, tliar’s nothin’ to prevent us from takin’ a shot or two. Thar, now, jist one good old neighborly home shot!” The men rode aside, and bang ! bang ! went their pistols. “Yer smashed tho pummelof my sad dle,” cried Broncho; “yer see the boss shied a little jist as yer turned loose, or yer might a plumped me good.” “You done better, Bill; you got into the of toy 1.3 t arm bout half an inch Good morning to you, a safe journey to yer, and bell the folks at home we met and had a good, sociable time together !” “Thank yer, and the same to you; hut I’ll give them a good account of you!” Sam then turned to our friend and, with tears in his eyes, said: “God bless him! it is a great comfort to meet an old friend and neighbor like him awav out here in this wilderness place. A kmder more ac commodative and agreeable gentleman nev ro lived. I wouldn’t a-missed .seein’ him for SSO !”—Virginia City Enterprise. The Fate of the Napoleonic lieira. Unfortunate as was the death of young Louis Napoleon at the hand of the sav ages, taken by surprise, enlisted in a cause of doubtful worthiness, and at best not a cause of his country or his ow'n, his death was less unfortunate than that of his second cousin, the Duke of lieichstadt, son of the great Emperor, who was King of Home and heir to the French throne; and died at 21, Lieutenant in the Austrian artillery. There seems to be a remarkable parallelism in the fortunes of these two l’rinces. One died at 21, the other was killed at 23. Both had brilliant prospects at birth, both were bom after long and anxious expectation, both lost their pres tige and chances by the military downfall of their imperial fathers, both were forced to quit their native country, both were ed ucated in foreign military' schools—one in Austria the other in England; both were of delicate constitution, both were amia ble, generous and estimable, without in heriting the paternal strength, both pined for opportunities, both came to an untime ly end. The two youths were as gentle and likeable as their fathers were selfish, cruel and treacherous. Yet their fathers had magnificent success up to a certain time, and lost their power by overweening am bition. There is something very dramatic in the fact that the sole son of Napoleon 1., the greatest force in modern times, should have siekelftil life away' at Sehonn brunn, and that the sole son of Napoleon 111, should be pierced to death with ’Zulu spears in a remote and barberous land, and in a cause in which he had embarked simply' for political effect. It sounds curiously to hear a woman shout: “Yon, George Washington Bona parte Augustus Henry, come back and get your liandhkercief and dont you never start for school without it again.” This sounds curiously, but he ought to keep a hand kerchief about his clothes, when y'ou come to think of it. There is a young lady in Wellsboro’, Tioga, State of low'a, whose hair reaches to within six inches of the fioor, and when cut off, on account of the lady’s illness, is said to have weighed four pounds. The really charming toilets of the season are those which no one looked for, and no one has ever seen in general wearing, and these are the results of individual taste and wondrous patience. It is asserted that many cases of sun stroke in warm weather, in the female sex, are really a vertigo, caused by frequent turning the head to look at other women’s clothes and bonnets. The Empress of Japan is the sort of a wife to help a King get along, and lay up corner lots. She cooks, washes, bakes and does the darning, and one paper of pins lasts her three months. $2.50 A YEAH. Coaxed Into a Fortune—A Eureka Team ster tlie Subject of the Item. Wo don’t know whether one would cull this a romance or an old phase of human nature, but it is a fact as we tell it. Our town readers all know Horace Tyler. Ho has been on the Base Range ever since the mines wero discovered, and his genuine manhood is a characteristic of the man. In his chosen occupation of teamster ho has plodded over the dusty highways and sandy deserts of Eastern Nevada “nigh opto fifteen year," as uncle Josh would ex press it. He came to the coast a mere boy, and in his independent, sturdy sort of way has gappled with fortune, not as suc cessfully as some, perhaps, as all his years of toil simply resulted in his ownership of a team and his wresting a hard livelihood from incessant daily labor. He was as honest as they make ’em, and that trait was his pride. Why he left the home, “Way down in Vermont,” is his secret, and ho is stubbornly reticent on that point, simply stating that he came away because “he hankered after a life on the plains.” Whatever the motive, ho betrayed no desire to return to his birth-place, despite the fact now known, that it was a most luxurious one, and that every comfort and pleasure that wealth would command was his if he would accept it. Sunday morn ing Mr. W. O. Tyler, a couisin of Horace, arrived in Eureka from Vermont, charged with a special mission. He sought out his relative and announced to him that ho had been sent by Horace’s father to per suado his boy—now a bearded man—to come back to his home. His parent was waiting, eager to welcome him, and pray ing that his son might listen to his plead ings. Not all this, lmt all his riches—a cool quarter of a million dollars —was at his son’s command upon his arrival. The latter inducement would have been bulll cient for an ordinary m< rtal, but it did not influence Horace a particle. On the con trary, ho was obdurate, flatly refused to go, and despite his cousin’s* ontreaticß, which lasted from the time the train arrived Sun day until it departed yesterkay morning, he persisted in his determination, and bade the ambassador good-bye at the train, still firm in his resolve. He came back to town, curried his horses and fed them, greased his wagons, and then, falling in with some of his friends, related the inci dent to them in a matter-of-fact way, con cluding with the remark that “he owned that team, didn’t owe much money, and ho reckoned ho could make a living inde pendent of anybody,” He was met with a storm of remonstrances, arguments and advice. The policy on the part of his old comrades staggered him. He thought he was doing the right thing, but when they remonstrated to him how unfilial his con duct, how cruel he was acting in with holding from his aged father the comfort that his son’s presence would ho to his fast declining years, Horace weakened, ho couldn’t stand the upbraidings of his as sociates, and as a consequence Eureka loses a good citizen. His couisin was tel egraplied at Elko and Instructed to await Horace’s arrival. Yesterday ho sold his team, paid up every cent that he owed,and this morning departed on horseback for Elko, where he will join his relative, and proceed on his journey Eastward. May good luck attend him. Ho has furnished us with a novel item, and one that it will he hard to match. Think of it. A rara avis, found in these degenerate days, an excentric individual that has to be coaxed and driven into tho possession of $250,000.- —Eureka Leader, Stop My Paper. If the “enraged subscriber" who rushes into a newspaper office to tell the editor to “stop mv paper,” only know how out rageously silly he appears in the eye of the publisher, he would send the message by a boy, and instruct the boy to keep very quiet about it, too.

Strange that nobody tried the effects of a barbers breath on a potato bug. Its a pretty hard remedy’, but something must be done. Uneasy lies the man who has already been caught at it once or twice.
