THE TOMB OF JULIET

DIR. Mott, ia very interesting letter from.
Paris TO the Mobile Register, giving an ac-
count of his tour in Italy, writes as follows
Of Verona and what he saw there:
Verona is the most important town in
Veneta after the city of Venice; It is now
little more than fortified camp of Austrians,
and bears all the marks of Austrian desoa-
lion. The town is one of great interest,
fine churches, Roman remains, &c. Among
the antiquaries is an ampitheatre, after the
style Of the Coliseum at Rome, in good
state Of preservation, which is still used, and
will accommodate 10000 persons. Here,
too, is the tomb of Juliet, so immortalized
by Shakspearc-is is a melancholy relic of
the past, and well calculated to teach a
MORAL.
Juliet was buried in an old convent, which
after many yicissitudes has become stable,
a poor Italian family live in little shanty
adjoining, and one Of the little boys unlock
led the door of the stables aud showed us
round In one corner Of the room is di-
laPdated saroophagus, which covers the re-
mains Of Juliet; in the opposite corner of
the same room, and not more than twenty~
five feet Of, standing on the dirt floor, WAS
tied by the trough an innocent looking done
key with ears like elk horns. On one of
the stuccoed walls is still seen in pretty
good preservation, frescoe Of the Virgin,
and on tia opposite another Of the cruei~
fxion.
confess that this scene will leave with
me painful reminiscence, though it may
teach to the rejecting mind pointed moral.
There still fingers with me few "green
spots on momory's waste" to which my
mind wanders from time in its solitary mo-
ments with much pleasure-death alone can
crush out human nature, it will rise up and
have its way in spite Of philosophy and
even religion, No man who has anything
noble, generous and good In his composition
can look up at the little window not far of,
from which Juliet told her tale of love, and
then gaze upon the tomb as l have seen it,
without experiencing emotions which even
Shakespeare himself could not portray.

A New York paper, giving an account o.
the robbery of bank in that city by fast
young man, few days ago, adds the fol,
lowing refreshing item
F" Apropos of speculation 6f persons in
banks, curious story is told of another
bank, in which the discount clerk had re.
signed his situation his resignation had
been accepted; his accounts been pronounced
correct, and q complimentary vote passed
by the board for his attention to duties, &c.
He then stated to the board that be had a
communication to make, as a caution to in.
ducs them to watch his successor. He
stated that, Notwithstanding his accounts
were all correct at the time of resignation
he had, in fact, been using the bills re
ceivable of the bank for years as collateral
for loans, and employing the funds in the
purchase of paper at usurious rates. BY this
course he had accumulated sufficient prop
erty to meet his moderate desires, and,
having no further use for the facilities he
had enjoyed, he had resigned. Whether
the vote Of thanks was reconsidered is not
known"

Hon. Jos. HoLT.-While Forney's Press
and other Douglas papers are uusparing and
unscrupulous in abuse and denunciation oi
the Hon. Jos. Holt, the present able and eff
6cient Postmaster General, and one Of the
purcst and most infexbly honest of all Of
our public men, some of the leading Repub-
lican papers have the independence and hon
esty to do that distinguished gentleman JUS
tice The New York Times, by all odds
the ablest Republican paper in the Union,
in an article on our Postofice system, says
We have more than once taken occasion
to commend the general management Of
his department by the present Postmaster
General. So far as we are able to judge
from his acts, Mr. Holt may fairly be re
garded as a specimen of that almost extinct
species of men,-a high public officer who
pays more attention to the service of the
people than to the claims of party ;-auC
we are happy to regard the reforms he ha'
already effected in his department. as indi
cations of the spirit and temper in which h
will press others, of still greater importance
upon the attention Of Congress.
The Yazoo Democrat., 1859-10-15

The PRINTING OFFICE.-A well conduct
cd printing office is the best of schools. Go
with me to the Executive and Legislative
departments of the Government, and l will
point you, in each of them, to some of the
most competent and useful public officers
who started in life as printer devils Cross
the ocean, and we will find such men as
Guizot, De Tocqueville, and Lamartine of
France, Lord Palmerston, D'Israei and
Macauley of England, have all distinguish
ed themselves as journalists. Let young
men especially look to those high examples,
and rest with nothing short of positions in
the front rank of society. This can be
attained only by the most indomitsblo in.
dustry, perseverance and study, and by a
strict regard to truth, honesty and virtue.
Never for moment think it disreputabe to
labor Honest toll, however humble, never
yet disgraced any man; but too many, we
are sorry to say, suffer disgrace rather than
work for q livelihood" ="

THE COMING MAN.-In the Imagination
Of every young lady, the coming man is a
handsome young officer, with pearIy teeth,
coral lips, rosy cheeks, curly hair, blue
eyes, and black moustache, who is dying
desperately in love with her, and is coming
some day on prancing grey horse with a
flowing tail, to propose to her Money is
no object to her. for the thought of money
does not vulgarly intrude itself into the
young lady's imagination in connection
with her coming man, only he must be
beautifully dressed, and have handsome
riding whip, and jingling spurs, and neatly
rolled whiskers as tight as watch springs
Alas how many thousands are still waiting
,impatiently, and yet confidently for the
advent of this Coming Mani

THE LOVE KNOT.
By NORA PERRY.


Tying her bonnet under her chin
She tied her raven rnglets in,
But not alone in the silkeu snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For, tying her bonnet under h er chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strollng togetherup the hilh
Where the wind comes blowing merry and chill
And it blew the curls froicksome race,
All over the happy peach-colored face,
Till, scolding and laughing, she tied them in
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And it blew color, bright SIS the bloom
OF the pinkest fuschia's tossing plume,
All over the cheeks of the prsttiest girl
That ever imprisoned a rOmpng curl,
Or, tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill
Madder, merrier, chillier still
The western wind blew down and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
Oh, western wind do you think It was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair
To gladly, geefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast,
Where he as gladly folded her in,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin
Oh, Ellery Vane, you little thought,
An hour ago when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

A LITTLE GIRL KILLED BY HER FATHER
The New York Times relates the following
shocking occurrence:
On Monday night, between 10 and II
o'clock; Jno. Canuely, who resides at No.
Rector street, going home drunk, berated
his wife for having gone to bed. His angry
words awoke his little girl, Mary Ellen
aged 6 years, and she went towards him tc
pacify him. The drunken man had shove
in his hand at the moment. In brandlshinG
it, the blade came in violent contact witt
his daughters head, and she fell bleeding
to the floor. A phycisian was called in, bu
he was unable to save the child's life, anc
after lingering in great pain until yesterday
she died. Meanwhile the father, becoming
frightened, left the house. A post morteu
examination showed that congestion of th'
brain, superinduced by the blow, had caused
death. AS abundant evidence was Offered
to prove that Canuely was very fond of th'
child, the jury decided that the blow ha'
been given accidentally.

YAzO0 CITY MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER Is 1889
FOR THE DEMOCRAT.

Won by flower, the glanees Of thine eye,
The sense Of reason could not deem them true
my hands soft pressure, and thy gentle sigh,
We're worlds of bliss, but, ah these cam
from you.
Ahother's chosen, yet ask thee why
May not love gem SO bright ard pure
AS glittered ever in loves sunny sky,
Or cid heart to its sad fate allure.
1t comes too late this spotless, fragrant flower,
10 fetter reason with its wtching tie;
Alas too soon Is flown its blissful hour
And hope, fond hope, must yield to r.tb, and
die.
1t comes too late ! tale so sad it weavcs,
Nor longer cheers me with its perfum'd breath
Flown now is ALL and withered as its leaves,
Since with the flower. my hopes do sleep IN
death. H
