with rather doubtful comfort)--"And

HUSH THEE, HEART
Ey MRS. EMILIEC s. CnILTON.

BY MRS. EMILE c. S. Chiffon.
Hush thee, heart, and cease thy sobbng,
Cease for aye thine every moan,
Now thy daily life Of pIoddng
Liclh through the world, alone.
Once exalted unto heaven,
All liIe's sweets with rapture tasted,
Dashed to earth--to misery given
All thy dreams Of bliss are wasted.
Hush thee, heart, AMI cease thy signing,
Sweely blossomed hope for thee,
Now in autumn graves are lying
Flowers that never more will be!
Gems of Hope so londIy cherished
Never more will caress thee!
Like the Dead Sea fruit thou'sl persisted
Thou hast curst instead Of blesl me.
Hush thee, heart, and cease thy weeping
Truly thou art row (orsakcn,
And thy joys in Lethc sleeping
Never, never will awaken!
Yet 'twere folly to remember
All thy weight OF crushing woe
Life's a long and drcar December
And its verdure is but snow.
Hush thee, henrt-the false hath broken
All the claims that bind the soul,
And the words Of mockery spoken
Still for ever loves control,
When thus bound unit oanother,
Caring not for love nor me,
1t were we'll, false one, to smother
Each fond though, that speaks 10 thee.
Thou hast crushed o faithful lover.
Thou hast wrung heart with pain,
But this spell of anguish over
Love may ne'er deceive asain!
Mine is not heart to nulter
Like a bee from bloom to bloom.
And the words 10 thee | utter
Live to guide me to the tomb. ...
could tell thee that scorn thee
For thy promise false and light,
| could even coIdly warn thee
That thy day will have its night;
But | leave thee-one who rifles
Every sacred vow once spoken,
Finds full soon how childish ltliles
Leave the heart all lone and broken.

In Harper's Weekly of the 18th,
we find the following comments on
the late homicide at Washington:
4 "An injured husband has but three
ways Of meeting the injury: He may
laugh at it, or he may challenge his
enemy; this is the French method. -
The first recourse affords but little
consolation, and requires unusual
philosophy, the second may superadd
physical to moral injury. He may sue
the ndrI;erer for damages. This is
the English plan. 1t involves pa.
tience, delay, exposure and disgrace.
1t parades the injured party to the
contumey Of the world. 1t seldom
yields substantial profit, and when it
does it must be painful to use money
obtained nt the cost Of the virtue of
II wife. Finally, the injured husband
may take the life Of him who has in
jured him. This is the American syS-
TEN, and latterly it has been followed
in many parts Of Europe. Terrible
as homicide is, this method must, on
the whole, be admitted to be that
most efiectual, the wisest, and the
most natural revenge Of an outraged
husband.
There can be no excuse for the
adultcrer. He commits II thrcefoll
crime: o crime against the woman
whom he misleads; crime against
the man whom he dishonors;a a crime
against society which he disorganlzes
Each Of the three calls for condigr
punishment. In these latter days ex
pericncc proves that in all such cases
society will justify the infections o
the last penalty by the husband.

Hambleton "he was quite cheerful,
and did not appear to have any desire
to take the life Of his antagonist; in
deed, he declared that he should be-
very sorry to do so. ,r.
The parties met on the 22d fMarch,
1890, in the same field upon which
Mason had fallen thirteen months be.
fore, Commodore Decatur was at
tended by Captain William cambridge
as his second, and Commodore Barron
by Capt. lessee o. Elliott. Several
other gentlemen were also present,
among whom we're Captains Rodgers
and Porter, DR.. Washington and Mr.
Hambeton.
After the principals had been pla.
ced in their respective positions, each
with pistol in hand, and ready for the
contest which was to result so disas-
trously to Decatur, and to spread such
sorrow over the land, Barron address.
ed Decatur and observed: "Sir, hope,
OH meeting in another world, we shall
be better friends than in this De-
catur responded: ~ have never been
your enemy, sir.' Nothing more was
said, but each now waited the word.
While standing thus, only ten PAGES
distant. each covered by the pistol Of
the other, the word was pronounced.
Both fired, and fired so nearly at the
same instant, that there seemed to be
but one report.
Both fell. Decatur was apparently
shot dead and Barron, to all appear
ance, mortally wounded. But Decatur
revived after a while, and was sup
ported short distance, when he sank
down again under his antagonist.
Then it was, as they lay on tho
ground weltering in blood, with their
heads not ten feet apart, that a con-
versation took place between them, OF
which it is to be regretted that only
fragments have been preserved. The
interview was inexpressibly affecting,
reminding one, says an eyewitness,
"of the closing scene of tragedy
Hamlet and Laertes. Barron proposed
that they should make friends before
they met in heaven, for he supposed
they would both die Immediately. De.
catur said he had never been his ene-
my; that he freely torgave him his
death, though he could not forgive
forgive those who had stimulated him
to seek his life. One report says that
Barron exclaimed, 'Would to God that
you had said thus much yesterdayp-
Their last interview was friendly
one, and they parted in peace. Deca-
tur knew he was to die, and his only
sorrow was that he had not died in
the service ST his country"
As Decatur was being placed in the
carriage, Barron said to him: "Every
thing has been conducted in the most
honorable manner, and | forgive you
from the bottom Of my heart"
y Decatur was conveyed to Washing

FROM A MARRIED WOMAN.

FROM a M AnnlED WV MA
Nh. EDITOR: M
Iwant you to enli.,hten me OIL one
point--that is, il you can, though |
don't think you know more about the
matter than | do--and perhaps not so
much. How is it that courtship is so
much apleasanter than marriage!-
When Twas Miss instead Of Mrs, my
sweetheart was quite attentve-hc
brought me home all that was nice in
books, and nick.nacks: now a ring,
now q gilt edged volume of poetry
concert tickets were as common as
peanuts. Well. one day,I was just
fool enough to give up all these for a
plain gold ring, and AN empty name,
became Mrs. G. Oh, Gimini, Mr.. Ed,
itorl Didn't that make difference!
Nowdo tell me, as Mr.. Tennyson says,
"rhe how and the why!' that's a
dear man! LAusErrA'
The same curious anomaly has oi-
ten struck us, and our curiosity has
bsen SO strong at times. that we our
self. have felt half inclined to marry
iu'order to solve the MYSTERY. We have
however, hitherto contented ourseli'
by consulting most of the grea'cs'
philosophers on the subject, but a
usual, got the few ideas we had on il
so utterly ,obfuscated BY their expla
naiions. that we tried the women, bu
got still more .bewildcred. We shal

A WoRD TO APPRENTICES. Es.--Appren-
ticeship is the most important stage OF
life through which mechanic is call
ed to pass; it is emphatically the
spring season Of his days--the time
when he is sowing the seed, the fruits
of which he is to reap in after years. II
he spares no labor in its proper cul-
ture he is sure of obtaining an abun-
dant harvest; but if. in the culture of
the mental soil, he follows the exam
pie ofmany in tilling the earth, and
carelessly and negligently does his
work like them, he will find the seed
ing time past, and his ground only
bringing forth weeds and briars. Let
the young apprentice bear in mlnd'
when he commences learning any bu-
siness, that all hopes OF success IN the
future are doomed to fade away like
the morning mist, unless he improve
the golden season. Let him bear in
mind that he can become master OF
his business only through the closest
application and the most perseverlng
industry; and that unless he does mas
ter it, he may bid farewell to all the
visions of future prospects and success,
The apprenticeship is the foundation
of the great mechanical edifcc; and
surely II the foundation of a structure
be not firm, the structure itscll crumb'
les and falls to the earth. Then
young friends, persevere; be studlous
and attentive: study well all the dilfe'
rents branches of your business, both
practical and theoretical-and when
the time shall come for you to take ar
active part in life, you will not fail te
beof use. not only in your own partic
ular business, but in society.
