When your heart fellaway from mine
Cries out for the cup that was pushed way,
Splitting its costly wine
Come and your kiss shall kindlc again
The passon-b bloom on my cheek!
Come and read in my eyes the pain
That my lips are too proud to speak!
Come for lie in the cold without,
Stabbed with agony wild,
All for you-and my heart cries out
Like poor little mothcrless chldss.

dropped by Governor Yates, to give place
to Colonel (now Lieutenant .GencraD

Tribune quito romantico story about
him:
"It seems that after undergoing many
strange and startling vicissitudcs of life,
and buffetting the dark waves of adver-
sity and misfortune, he has at length be-
come wealthy and useful gentlcman.-
BY the death of his cousin, Sir Jasper
Goodo, who died at York, England, he
has fallen heir to estates, the rental of
which amounts annually to $4,000 ster-
ling, and also succeeds to the title by in

went to Mattoon, and was elected Colonel
by his regiment, the Twcnty-frst.
