OF A LOCK OF HAIR.

| (Of all keepsakes, memorials, and relics
most devotedly, dearly, is cherished the
lock Of hair! and oh when the head it ha,
so bcautified has long mouldered in the dust
how spiritual seems the undyiug glossness O
the remaining! All else gone to nothing
save and except that smooth, FURNISHED. and
glorious fragment of the soft apparcing that
once hung in clouds and sunshine over al
Angels brow ~ Frenu's Letter.
oh heavily sobs the wintry blast,
And into vallies, dim and low,
Down from the northern woodlands blow
The faded relics Of the past
The lovely past Alone sit,
Companioned by the drcary rain,
While in the palace Of my brain
Wild thoughts. unspoken and unwrit,
Gather the solemn veil away
Between me and the coming years
Some, April-like, o'errun with tears,
And some arc beautiful with May!
And some, to fullest splendor grown,
Blush with the Autumn's purple sheen
>NhN ""bC hiC serene,
With rarest Summers overblown.
These are the ripening of my youth,
The reddening OF my morning sky,
But in my heart prophecy,
Drawn from the ancient wells of truth.
Troubles my spirits hidden springs
With yearnngs for eternal life,
And lifts me softly, out of strife,
On newly fcdged, immortal wings.
No sunshine comes into this room
Between the moaning nights of storm;
But through the shadows rare and warm.
y steady light divides tho gloom!
An evening star-a golden cloud,
Hung trembling in solemn sky
A lock Of hair the memory
or the up gathering of a shroud
Hath not spell to sever from
Our true-heart worship-or divide
Her, dead-irom living-gori1cd,
And fadelcss, in the years to come!
Oh, relic! o" a blcst one, laid
Peaceful, in solitudcs serene
Above whose sleep, the Eden green
or palm-trecs that shall never fade
Wave to full bursts of melody,
In Gods fair pnrpling Paradise,
Start lowered beneath uncloudcd skies,)
How art thou doubly dear to me
Dear, for the sweet thoughts thou dost b ing,
find donbly dear for one deur sake
For, as about the woodlands break
The sudden splendors of the Spring,
When violet-crowned, the mornings rise,
And in some dell a wild bird rours
Sweet-throated prophecy Of flowers,
Born under blushing summer skies
SO thou dost gather round my heart
The glorious dawn of perfect days.
Tho wedding Of two mortal ways
That sadly lie, tonight. apart!

marking upon. In that time VIC have had
the first snow of the winter sufficient to
cover the ground, followed up by a "Nor

CoRoNERs INorEsTs. Chesapeake
City correspondent in referring to the need
less expense to which the county is put by
useless Inquests, remarks that there should he
law on the subject to prevent the whole
sale "skinning,' as he terms it, Of the county.
There is a law which comes exactly up to
what he thinks is demanded. The first Sec
ton of chapter ESQ, of the Acts of the General
Assembly, 1881. reads as follows:
s'Bc ii enacted by the general assembly of
Maryland, That from and after the passage of
this act, it shall not be lawful for any coroner
in the State Of Maryland, to summon have
or hold any jury of inquest, over the body of
any deceased person whatsoever, where it
is known that the deceased came to his or
her death by accident, miscllancc or in any
other manner or way, except where the said
person died in jaib or where there are such
circumstances attending the death or case as
to amount to strong probability or rcasona-
bic belief, that the deceased came to his or
her death by felony"
That covers the ground and if observed
would save the county great deal of cx-
pense: still it is better the error should be on
the safe side; strict inquiry should be made
in all cases where the least doubt exists.
