Lynch Law.

All of our readers have heard OF

acquainted with the origin OF the
term. We extract the following &C.
count of it from the "Historical Col

and desperadoes- The necessity Of
the case involved desperate meas
ures. and Col. Lynch, then a Heading
Whig, applehended and had them
punished without any supeTtiuous
legal ceremony. Hence the origin
Of the term Lynch Law. This prac-
tice of Lynching continued years
after the war, and was applied to
many cases Of mere suspicion Of
guilt, which could not be regularly
proven. In 1892 says Wirt's life

An Eaglish writer has recently
asserted that an undue proportion
of lime in the system is the cause
of premature gray bair, and advises
to avoid hard water, either for drink

coffee, or soup, because hard water
is always strongly impregnated With
lime. Hard water may be sOttened
by boiling it; let it become cold, and
then use it as beverage. 1t is al

And oft my own goes back to thee, q

IT'S mine to gaze on stormy seas. Tir
And view the wreck o. glory there--
And thine to feel'life's morning breeze.
Unmixed with all its chill despair.

The world which hath bereft me-
And dream. awhile, that joys will come,
As bright as those that left me-: IL III
And then some wounded bird will stray
From mem'ry's track Of withered flower
To Autter o'er my future way,
And sing the dirse of holier hours.
The day which died on yonder height,
Shall live again to-morrox,
But when the heart goes down in night
It finds no morn for sorrow;
The frown of night, the smile of dawn,
Will vainly gid or gloom the sky
'Tis always night. now thou art gone--
Twas ever day when thou vert by.
Thou mays not feel that have loved,
As man no more may love thee,
Until the vows of man have proved
Vain as the clouds above thee;
But down the burial vale of years
sly words will rise with memories rife,
Like gravestones, wet with useless tears,
Which cannot bring the dead to life'
