The Vacant Chair.

Inc vacant CQd1.
BY MISS 81 c. cREAL.
There is no home-no earthly home
However bright and fair,
But hath some aching, bursting heart;
1t has one vacant chair.
And seldom is table spread
With costly viands rare,
But fearful eyes will sadly gaze
Upon one vacant chair.
Once there were hearts which gladly beat,
All free from pain and care:
Now crushed, oppressed, they sadly gaze
Upon vacant chair.
Once hopes bright, and fortune smiled
Upon happy throng;
A noble boy the second son
Once filled that vacant seat.
He sported mid the wild wood flowers,
And culled each bud most rare;
usmorning found him at his books,
Within his, school room.
But, all Death had marked him for his own,
That lovely boy 80 fair,
And left deserted ones to gaze
Upon his vacant chair.
Fond hopes are crushed, the world is blank,
Hearts filled with gloom, despair,
As fearful eyes are fastened on
Tha lifeess form.
Parents to Heaven lit your hearts,
Yes, Danish every care
Crushed, bleeding hearts not there'll be found
For there's no vacant chair.
These lines respectfully inscribed to Mr.. and Mr.
Patterson on the death of their son. Written by b
teacher.

THE MISFORTUNES OF A GERMAN. - Last
evening German named Frank Ryer, came
to the police headquarters, and told the fol-
lswing story of his misfortunes: He had
lived for some time in Muscatine, Iowa, where
he amassed considerable property, and $500
in cash. His wife did not agree with him
very well, neither did he bear her much love,
so terms of separation were agreed upon. She
was 10 have the property and he the cash.
After the bargain had been made, Frank be-.
came enamored Of good looking waitress at
hotel, and proposed marriage and trip to
California. The girl gave her consent, and
came On to this city to get married. At the
railroad depot some runners took the couple
in tow, and furnished them with quarters at
hotel down town. The runners seeming so
friendly. Frank told them of his desire to find
a Squire" and get married. OF course they
offered to accommodate him, and taking the
pair to a resort on Broadway, the ceremony
was performed at the moderate price Of $50,
the victim being assured that that was the
legal rate The next evening he wentout with
his spouse, with the purpose q purchasing
ticket to California. While in the office Mrs
Ryer suggested that she had better hold the
money, and he gave her $3.50, to safely keep
while he examined in tothe price of tickets
When he returned both woman and money
were gone, and the German was left disconso
late and penniless. The detectives are endeav
oring to find the swindlers.-N. Y. Sun
The above undoubtedly refers to John Mey
er and Grace Reece, whose elopement iron
this place we have already notced. John ma
made stupid botch Of it, and, what is worse
nobody has any sympathy ioi him. 1t
quit likely that the girl was melted to al
scopding with the money by some sharper
who will eventually get possession Of it then
