THE GRAVE OF MARY.


Far away where MARY IS lying,
BY the stream that's sonly sighing,
Sleeps my heart to-day
She, lis light, was ever beaming,
On the brow Of youths fond dreaming,
Now faded ray.
There we sat, one tender even,
As her sister stars IN heaven
Smiling, shone aDove.
Beckonng like sister angel
Smiled upon her an eyangel,
From her TN ono of love.
Upward looked earth-leaung May,
She my own one, never weary
OF her valley home.
While the heart within her heavng
'Gainst my own, had told of leaving
For that starry dome.
Obi that look of sinless sorrow .HHIH.
Struck my ou aud never morrow a a.
Brought back Joy to me.
Backward rolled The tide Of pleasure,
Bearing on Its course lIlos treasure
To eternty.
Far away is MARI lying
Far away wiuderer "a signing
Freudess and alone.
But the stars tonight up shining
Bid me cease this lone ropinng--
Home VIII soon be won.

Scandal This seems TO be, especially, an
age Of scandal, The most wonderful stories
are daily set aaoat by the busy bodies of the
community. Dayton is not entirely free from
their Vaccinations. We give warning to
some who are now particularly active. They
are malicious diSturbers of the peace, the ex-
pansive nature Of whose labors to create tur-
moil is thus graphically described by the poet;
Flying umors gather as they rolled
Scarce a tale IS sooner heard than told;
And all who told il added something new,
Aud all who heard made enlargement too;
On every ear II spread--On every tongue It grew.

The Hearts IdOl--Passing down street
we met the Undertaken carrying in his arms
small coffin all draped in black he was
bearing it to some home where the Angel of
Death had been and stilled forever on earth
the tongue of some fond mothers sweet little
prattler ere il had learned to lisp her name /
for the coffin was tiny one. That small mar
row coffin would soon contain the lifeless
form Of the little angel sleeper The
light ofa household was gone, aud an aching
void left in mothers heart The little form
is gently laid in ITS grayeeradIe Unseen
hands will rock it nowl Tread lightly around
the tiny coffin, for angels are towering near /
Whispersoitly their anthems are swelling
on bigh2 But now the lid is closed aud light
and joy shut out from the mothers heart

100 delegates to the Brazilian Lower House
only ten Conservatives have been elected.
The Liberals are in favor of opening the ANA

News from Pernambuco is not important.
Cotton and sugar were both high and there

The AcAcIA.-The leak in the steamer
Acacia was found to have been produced by
some person on board unscrewing valve about
eight inches in diameter, which let the water
through hole of that size. 1t was probably
done by some Of the fireman with the hope
that when she was brought up to the wharf
they could make their escape. or the twenty
five persons who attempted to escape all but
three were captured by the vigilance of our
police officers.
