Yes, call me foolish If you will.
And say that l am weak;
As my thoughts go back to mothers home.
And the tears course down my cheek!
but my heart WILL wand err back again
10 my childhood's happy home,
And In fancy still seem to hear su
My Mothers loving tone.
And see her passing to and fro,
Humming faYorite song,
Dispensing quiet happiness
Among the little throng.
And now they sit, as in days of yore,
Around the fireside hearth
But time has left his footprints there
And hushed is childish mirth.
"A strangers in my Fathers place,
Two sisters, young and fair;
While close beside my Mother sits
In the same dear old arm chair
But two vacant seats are standing near
And by her thoughtful brow
You cali see her heart is far away
Away with the wanderers now.
One is many weary mile
Across the western plain
But she knows a few short years will bring
The loved ones back again
But her best, her only darling sol.
Is a soldier, and brave,
And she weeps at the thought, con the battlefield
lie may find a soldiers grave
Columbian scenes are fair to view,
Columbia's sky is bright; M
The same warm sun shines ever here
And stars adorn the night
But home is where the heart loves best,
And turn from this land, though great
To where the Maumec's waters roll,
In my own dear native State. Lew

MOTHER ON THE BRAN.-The writers of
poetry and music, during the war, all ran
after Mother, and rang all the changes on
ilial affection and maternal love. Some wag
who meyer had Mother. and never expects
to have one, has written a burlesque upon
the productions of these motherly poets. We
give his production, and at the same time
sentence him for ninety days to the Peniten-
tiary, the sentence to be suspended upon con-
dition that he will not attempt anything so
cruel again:
As you look on the songs you see nowadays,
The gentle word of Mother will surely meet your gaZe

county, against the Hon. John Wentworth, fer
SANDER, claiming $40, 900 damages. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Wentworth, a few days
days ago, pitched in Rothgarber as he de-
served on account of his being in the habit Of
associating with and bailng out all sorts of
disreputable characters. AS we stated at the
time this Rothgarber is anything but a benefit
or a credit to our city. and that such a man as
he, could be slandered, is something no re-
spectacle citizen will be unable to understand.
He might as well stop proceedings. for no jury
in the land would ever award him damages on
such charge. Everybody knows him, and
everybody also kno VS. that nothing Mr.. Went
worth or anybody else ever said or could say
would be SANDER upon him.

Horrible Death from HydrOphO bin.

From the Quincy Wing, 13th.I
Edward Bartholomew, one of the unfortu-
nate persons bitten by rabid dog in this city
last June, died of hydropLobia about i've
O'Clock this morning. We understand that
Mr.. B. first complained of being unwell day
before yesterday morning. but thought moth
ing of the illness until yesterday afternoon,
day he acted very strangely, accusing his
friends of being afraid of him, and thinking
him mad. At one time he became quite angry
at friend who met him at the doctors Office.
Late IN the afternoon he was attacked with a
severe fit of hydrophobia. The local editor of
the Herald thus describes his visit at this time
awe visited the room in which he was con-
fned, and beheld a spectacle which outdid
a. the horrors that we have ever witnessed or
heard Of The young man was raving man.
lac, and was the subject of the most dreadful
visions. From his mouth the poisonous frothy
saliva flowed in copous quantities, and his
eyes, wild, glaring and enlarged, almost started
from their sockets, whilst his hands were out
stretched and in motion all the time, as though
grasping at something or defending himself
Il rom some imaginary person who was attempt
ing his life. His rawlings were really appal-
ling. He was not secured at a late hour, al
though we'll guarded by some of our citizens.
About an hour before his death the patient
became perfectly quiet, and talked nationally
with Sheriff Humphrey and others until few
moments before dissolution took place. He
told them he was suffering from the hydropho-
| ba, and would die shortly.
Mr. B. was a widower, about thirty five years
of age, and had long been citizen of this city
and county. We believe he had no relatives
here except sister living in Burton township.
Such death is of the most distressing char
acttA and should serve as terrible rebuke to
our mu icipal authorities for their negligence
to abate the dog nuisance of this city.
1t will be remembered that some six or
seven others were bitten by the same rabd
animal that caused the death of Mr. Bartholo
new, none of whom, so far as we know, have
vet manifested any symptoms of hydrophobia

Tom Lewis, seeing the programme of thu

he borrowed from DR.. Humphreys magnify

fo- several minutes after taking his first squnt,
he thought "chaos had come again. but with
the aid Of his pocket handkerchief he was soon
restored to sight, when he returned the glass

Through his man Friday, we expect to see a
