MY Soul thy Secret Image Keeps,

MY Soul thy Secret Image Keeps.
The following exquisite lines were found
he Louisville Journal, and are ANONYMOUS -
The editor says: "We defy any s,eful love

how beautiful y"
Ny soul thy secret image keeps,
My midnight dreams all Of thee!
For nature then in silence sleeps,
And silence broods o'cr land and sea;
Oh, in that IT'LL, mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams start,
To find thee but fancy flower,
Thou cherished idol of my heart.
Thou hast each thought and dream Of mine
Have in turn one thought OF thine?
Forever thine my dreams shall be,
Whateer may be my fortunes here
I ask not love-I claim I, ON thee
One only boon-a gentle tear;
May Ger best visions from above
Play gentle round thy happy heart.
And the sweet beams Of peace aud love
Ne'er from thy heart depart.
Farewell! my dreams are still Of thee
Hast thou one tender thought of me?
My joys like summer birds may fly,
NV hopes like summer blooms depart,
But there's one flower that cannot die,
Thy holy memory in my heart
No dews that one flowers cup may fill,
No sunlight to its leaves be given,
But it will live and flourish still,
As deathless as thing of heaven.
My soul greets thine, unasked unsought,
Hast thou for me one gentle thought!
Farewell farewell my far Oh friend
Between us broad blue rivers flow,
And forests wave and plains extend,
And mount ntains IN the sunlight glow,
The wind that breathes on thy brow,
Is not the wind that breathes on mine;
The star beams shining on thee now
Are not the beams that on me shine
But memory's spell is with me yet
Can'st thou the holy past forgeti
The bitter tears that thou and
May shed wheneer by anguish bowed,
Exalted in the noontide sky.
May meet and mnglc in the cloud;
And thus, my much loved friend, though We,
Far, far apart must live and move,
Our souls when God shall set them free,
Can mingle in the world Of love!
This were ecstacy to me
Fay, would it be a joy to thee?

INTERESTING TO LAGER BEER DRINKERS
Our lager beer drinkers who absorb ut the
rate of a barrel per- diem have rivals in Chi
ma. A story is told Of a celestial wine
drinkcr who was wont to sit at n table all
day, and after imbibing sufficient to float a
small yacht, rise and walk to his apart
ments without the least unsteadiness in his
legs. The Emperor, determining to test
these marvellous powers of inhibition, had a
brass image corresponding in all its dimen-
sions to the mans anatomy, and invited the
latter to dinner whenever his guest drank a
cup of wine a similar cupful was poured
down the throat of the figure Long before
the conclusion Of the dinner, the brass i'm
age overfiowed, while the man drank on and
finally took his leave perfectly sober This
story, if true, is worthy the attention of
philosophic minds. They can determine
whether the phenomenon is owing to the
fact that clay is more absorptive than brass,
or to the gutta percha qualities of the hui
man stomach. In any event, the story is
somewhat singular-if true. Its truth OF
ialsity, however, can readily be determined
by trying like experiment on one of oul

Republican Harmony.

The New York Erening Post, a leading
Republican organ, but devoted to free trade
principles, construes the Tariff resolution
of the Republican Chicago Platform to mean
reciprocal free trade and threatens to
finish the Republican President, when he
shall have been elected, if he does not act
upon that construction. 1t says:
"Thc construction we have placed upon
this resolution we shall hold to firmly. If
the Republican party should elect its cam
didate, he must act on that construction, or
he will soon find himself encountered by an
opposition by which he will be overwhelm-
