FOUND DEAD,

They found her dead
One snowy morning in the open street,
per ID cheek resting on the pearly sheet
.W' Around her spread ( 2.:1i
And on her lips quiet smile reposed.
As If in sleep life's weary dream had closed.
She slept the last, last sleep.
Death seal was on her brow and She had ra.sed
Tired and and suffering, to her home at last
Leaving no friends to weep,
No loving ones to come at sunset hours
To sprinkle on her bosom tears and flowers.
No warm and gentle hand
Clasp'd hers 10 tenderness, as in the night
She went out gently from this world ofight
Into the shadowy land.
No earthly watcher fingered at her side
To hear the last low murmur when she died.
But did she die alone?
No! not alone; one friend kept watch with her,
One gentle voice, one loving smile was near
- 7 The desolate unknown .... ID: -.-
One hand of mercy led her 'er deaths foam
Into the better land 10 friends and home, & &

HOW THE MONEY GOES.
BY JOHN G. SAKE


How goes the money ?-Well, ....... ...
I'm sure it isn't hard to tell;
1t goes for rent and water rates,
For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps, and carpets, hoops and hose
That's the way the money goes! -
How goes the money?-Now, - ''
Don't everybody know the way? u -
1t goes for bonnets, coats and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, grapes,
Shawls, ribbons, furs and furbelows-
And that's the way the money goes!
How goes the meney Sure, .... -.

1t goes for wages, taxes, debts, .-., 4.
1t goes for presents, goes for bets, .
For paints, Ponanlade and eau de-rOse,
And that's the way the money goes! .-
How goes the money Come, .

1t goes for schools and Sabbath chimes,
1t goes for charity sometimes.
For missions and snch things as those
And that's the way the money goes
How goes the money ?-There ID ..

II goes for plays and diomond pins, -
For public aims and private sins.
For hollow shams, lind silly shows
And that's the way the money goes! '.-.

THE ABSENT WIFE.
BY ROBERT NORRIS.

At twilight's soft and gentle hour
When shadows Ger the dull earth creep,
And nature feels the soothing power
Of coming night and balmy sleep
When the tired lab'rer hastens home
HIS wife and little ones TO kiss,
And the young beauty anxiously
Awaits loves hour of dream like bliss
When II est-ward HE both bird and bee,
Ny fondest thought is still for theel
Again at midnight's solemn hour,
When eyes are closed and lips are still,
And Silence, like spirits form, .. t.,
Rests sweetly on each vale and hill,
When Love and Grief sit side by side
Around some sinking sufferers bed,
Or Crime in shadow seeks to hide
A form to every virtue dead
Fen then in dreams thy form see,
Or waking fondly turn to thee
At rosy morn, when like gleam
From some lar brighter sphere than ours,
The sunlight with its golden sheen
AwakeS the world aud tints the MOWERS
When birds their tuneful numbers raise
And chant welcome to the dawn,
When Nature lifts her voice in praise,
And day, creation-like, Is borp-
Then. when are hymns from land and sea,
| bow TO Heaven and think of thee!
No hand to press-no voice to cheer,
No form to meet in Pleasures bowers,
No song to melt the soul to tears
No welcome home with looks OF JOY,
No gentle song to tell of love,
No day dreams of our cherished boy,
No child-like eyes to point above
No hand to soothe the ruff1ed brow,
Alas! how much miss thee now!
Pity the wretch, who, doomed to roam
From day to day this lowly sphere,
Unloved by any-loving none,
Still wasting on from year to year,
As lonely as some twinkling orb
That trembles in the distant sky,
4 watcher mid the hosts of night
With none to share its company
Unloved while living, and when dead,
With none heart-wrung tear to shed!
Alas how cold and desolate
The path of such a one must be,
How dim his hopes-hOw sad his fate,
How cherries his lone destiny!
No eye to mark each changing look,
No lip his fever'd brain to press;
No gentle one in whisper low,
With kindly words his ear TO Bless
To point his thoughts from earth to sky,
And paint some bright Futurity!
WHY do we live? Afections-ties
That swell and form within the breast,
That intertwine our sympathies
With hopes and joys that make us blest-
These point the painting spirit up
To mildcr realms beyond the skies,
And whisper to the trembling soul
New bliss awaits in paradise
Oh, what were life with love away,
Where earth its bOund-its limit clay!
Then soon return, fond one, return,
Thy greeting shall be Kind and true,
Loves lamp again shall brightly burn,
And life its purest joys renew
Oh absence, like the clouds that throw
Thick shadows Ger the summer sky,
But, passing, leave a brighter glow,
A deeper, purer blue on high:
So now wait the passing gloom,
That light again may gladden. home!

Not a Drop more 'ThOut its sweet

We meet this tale on its rounds. We are
not sure we have not seen it before. But ii
will bear repetition il it is old.
Twenty years ago, it was the custom in
northwestern Georgia, as indeed it was thro'-
out the southwest for dry goods dealers to keep
barrel of "spirts'' in the back-room, and to
treat liberal customers to glass whenever de-
sired. Fl.
Fleus, and Dewberry were such dealers in
ont, ,ofthe small towns indcated; and they had
for customer clever, frollickins old fellow.
named Joe Denny, who drank whiskey in pref
erencet to water always and whose wife was
''fesh OF his hesh' in that particular. The
old couple would come in town. trade quite
freely, and as freely imbibe the spirits in the
back room oc the dealers we have named.
One day the old man and cid women cnntin-
ued their potatious inordinately; and as FIlen
observed that his goods went better the drunk
er the woman became. he pressed her to drink
AT last she refused unless ne would sweeten
it with little store sugar" Fillens irdul-
ged her, and when the old people started home
in the evening late, the old man could scarcely
mount his horse, and the COOL wife had actual
ly to be lifted and placed on the pllion behind
him. Happily she leaned one way and her
husband the other, so that the gravitNting point
was between them: as she clung to him instinc-
lively, they passed out of the village safely
Before reaching their home however they had to
cross small creek and when their horse step
psd in to drink, the old lady having reached
unconclolsnes5, released her hold, aud quietly
lapsed into the stream below.
Occupied with his thoughts, the old man did
not perceive his loss, but logged slowly home
ward Arrived there, the children anxiously
inquired for tmamny" but the old man could
only say that she had been on the "critter''
and "the critter hadn't kicked up nary time SO
he could not tell where she mout be-" and he
threw himself stupid on the bed
Girls and boys flew along the road the old
man had come, yelling NANNY mammyg but
ofcourse no nanny responded.
When they arrived at the creek, the Oldest
girl shouted
5.."fonder she is sitting down in the creek!"
And there she was, seated comfortably in the
water, which came nearly up to her mouth -
AS she swayed back and forth now yielding toll
the impetuosity Of the strea m and now resist
ing it with some success, the muddy full wo'd
sometimes wet her lips, and each time it did
so she would faintly exclaim, with a grim ef
for, to smile:
"Not drop more, Mr.. Fillens, 'thout it's
sweetened."
And i is to this romantic little incident IN
the life OF the venerable Mr.. Joe Denny. that
we are indebted for one Of our most popular !
coloquial phrases.
