As |, licked 10 their latest breath,
And when they passed 10 the bourn unIried'
Il seemed TO follow, with measured stride,
Their spirits after death.
How i, ruug and echoed my marriage chime
On that merriest summer morn,
when skies were brighter than Eastern clIme'
And hearts beat fast for coming time,
And the future yet unborn,
And when, mid Storm and midnight Wild
On the dark and moaning earth,
There came to our love lar.halred child
It's monitor face beamed brightly and smiled
To mark the moment Of us birth.
Thou art old, but. love thy very decay,
As thou siltest an an cient mine,
On ihy wooden seat near the kitchen way,
Where, fer many year, and many day,
They have come to ask thee "'he Iimel'
Keep time, old horologde, ill age
Shall close thy masters eye,
And when thou art left in the latest stage,
To rembIe alone mid the elements rage;
Oh, then run dotCn-and die.

DECEIVED IN TUE PLACE. Indianapolis has
the reputation Of being one of the most quiet,
and yet one Of the greatest business inland cit
les in the whole Southwest. People, when
they visit that city, ore often deceived in regard
to ihe estimate they form of it in every point OF
view. Such was the case Of Dempsler, the vo.
calist who gave concert there few days ago.
lie arrived in The cars and took lodgings at the
Palmer House kept by the jolly souled Denis
Tuule. On taking look at the city the next
morning, he accosied Mr.. T.: "You have a
very neat, quiet place here, Mr.. Tuule | de-
clare il seems like Sunday, and have made a
mistake in coming here" "There is great
deal Of business done here, sir, and al any kind
Of show they turn ont immensely; you'll have
full house, sir" "l'm afraid not" said Mr..
D., despondingly shaking his head. "lI don't
look like the right kind OF an atmosphere, the
people here must be more fond nflhe lecture
than the concert room. Well, well, by adver'
tising I'm in for it, and shall have 10 stand The
ordeal !"
"You appear to be discouraged, sir. To
show you that know The people Of lndlauoPo-
lis, I'll give you $50 for your concert and pay
all expenses; but you must give me full charge
over it,"
"H is yours, sir I" exclaimed Mr.. D. most
emphaIicaly.
The termination of The affair proved Mr..
Tunle's foresight. The hall was opened the
audience came and filled The house, and to be
brief, when oil expenses were paid, the jovial
and impromptu speculaIor in concert music
found that he had cleared the snug lille sum ol

TAKING AN OATH.-The singular manner the
Celes,isls have of taking an oath was Yesterday
witnessed in the Recorders Court. The COM
pIainant, Wa.Sng previous to making state
mens of the assault and battery that had been
committed, held piece of lighted paper in his
hand until it had been reduced TO ashes, at the
same time muttering TO himself some words
which were, Of course. uninIeliigible. This
form was considered sufficiently binding on his
conscience, and he was permitted to relate his
story. His looks were sufficient to prove the
offence, withou, running the risk Of his burning
his fingers.-Alta California. 4-I g.
