LOVES STRENGTH

LOVES STREirl GTEd
Come hther to my side, desrest,
And listen while | sing
OF pleasures pure and undefled,
Which now have taken wing;
And though old Time has stolen, deares
Some beauty from thy brow,
He has not quenched my ardent love,
No, no, 'sis stronger now.
Do you remember, dearest one.
The holy twilight hour,
When our -two hearts in unison
Felt loves bewitching power?
when kneeling at fair Cupid's shrine,
uttered forth my VOW
I loved thee then, but time has proved
Ny love is stronger now.
Methinks il were but yesterday,
When by the mountain stream
We plightcd love Interchangeable
Beneath the soft moonbeam;
The slvery stars were witnesses,
The heavens heard our vow;
Yet though idclzed thee then,
NV love is stronger now.

DEAR SlR:-While in the cars to-
day on passage fIom Philadelphia
to New York, a young man ~ho oc.
cupied the seat first in front of me,
got up to go out at one OF the way
stations. He had an over coat on
bis arm. l thought ! saw something
fall from his side pocket OF his over
coat as he started. On looking over
into his seat | discovered he had
dropped two letters and a memoran-
dunn. l took them up, but too late
to give them to him, as the cars bad
started again. / discovered sealed
letter to Capt. J. Brown. Hafper's S
Ferry, and having my curiosity ex-
cited on account of the coincidence
Of the address with that Of Brown
the insurrectionist, was led to read
the other letter addressed to VIM.
Horner, which had been opened; when
| found it was satisfied from read
ing this letter, that the sealed letter
was for Brown, the Harper's Ferry
insurrectionist you now have under
arrest. AS / suspect the contents OF
that letter to be of an incendiary
character. / concluded to send them
to you for disposal. ! therefore send
them just as found them enclosed
In the same envelope with this note.
If there be any incendiarism in the
letter to Brown, it may be Of service
to you, and if not, Capt. Brown can
not be injured by receiving it at your
hands. In this matter, / feel that /
act only as good citizen, and a low

will not feel offended at my sending
this as an anonymous note. | do SO

Jordan, of that county, and while in his en-

ing to previous arrangements, to the Jordan
mansion, at the hour which poets call the
noon of night, and spirited the fair maiden
away. They came TO this city, and went to
the Missouri Hotel, Malone registering their
names as George Malone and wife"
From the youthful appearance of the lady
and the fatherly appearance of Malone, the
clerk "smelt a mouse" and asked George if
the lady was really his wife. lie replied,
"NO, but the powers she shall be atore night

to take such evidence, Justice Wa!ther re
