Aud shall we shun The memory of light? When comes the lee, Shall we condemn the rose, That filled the field with royal bloom, And scented hall and church and tomb, When winter throws His ermine round us thrice? When sorrows come Upon us unaware, Bhall we reproach the joy that shed A glory where the feast was spread, And in despair Bit silent, sad and dumb? When comes the grave, Shall we the cradle curse, The fatal day when daylight came, Because the night of dreaded name, A second nurse, Comes stealing down the nave? When comes the word That blast in pain br wrath Our early love or virgin hope, Our hearts may listen, though wo gi In unlit path, ' To songs our ears have hoard! Then brave the night, Which cannot kill the sun, And with undaunted courage greet The angel's cup, though life be sweet. "Tis quickly done; Come, drain the goblet quite!

Mrs. Miller looked over the camp just once-~it took her about half an hour only to decide that she did not want to remain there. It was too crowded. If the camp was to grow it could grew in but one direction—down stream. A fow hundred yards below the ruck of shantios, the gulch suddenly expanded into a widening valley that would afford ample building space for a town, There were indeed, two houses down there already. Charles Born, a prospector, had built a little log cabin there for headquarters, and Loftus & Hastings had opened a saloon. Mrs. Miller determined to go down there and see what she could do. Luckily for her she met about this time's carpenter named Mahoney, whom she had known when living in Bedell, Mahoney asked her what she was going to do, and she said she was going to open a restaurant down below in some Way. build her a house for the business. “Dut I bave no money,” she said, “That's mil right. Pay me whea you get it.” Thereupon it was agreed thata log house, 26x40 feet, should be erected water ber pector Born's eabin, for the sum of $110, to be paid whenever Mrs, Miller should get it, Mahoney began work the next day! (April 2), and built the house as promptly and substantially as he would have done had the cash awaited the last stroke of the tools, True, it was not much of a house. There was no floor, for instance, and the door had no panels. But it was sn good mining camp house, and Mrs, Miller was greatly pleased with it. It had taken three weeks to complete it. One hardly knows whether to laugh or to shed tears when hearing Mrs, Miller tell how she began to run a .wtaurant in that cabin, “My stove was very old and broken, For a tab. I had wa old door, obtaived | prise. People were coming lato camp | Straightway Mahoney offered to | up town. It was nailed on a short log of wood set on end in the middle of the room. For chairs I had empty boxes boxes and two or three blocks cut from a log. I had three plates, a tin cup for coffee, and enough knives and forks to go with the plates, IX had one kettle and a frying pan, and that's all, But the miners did not care. They said: *Just give us what you have and it is all right.’ They were very kind to me.” Her provisions, including bread, pur- freight. But she sold from seventy to one hundred meals a day for a good many weeks at fifty cents a meal, acd she be- gan to get ahead a little.

Miller, *‘but 1 was so poor I had to give them one of my lots up by my old building for pay. | They sold the lot in three weeks for | $800. Iam glad of it.

To give { an idea of this woman's character let it be sald that she asked the reporter not to mention the jumper's name, “1 beat him; that's enough, This is how she beat him: The man with his shyster told her he had purchased the lots of the town com- pany, and that she was only a squatter and must vacate, She said she would do She knew her rights, and would stand by them.

These fishes in the same way carry their eggs in their mouth, and thus hatch their young.
