A FEMALE DICE TURpIN IN MIcH1eAN.-
On Friday evening last, as Mr.. Levi Long
ley, OF Raisinville, was going home quite
late, accompanied by Lyman Plues, he no.
ticed couple of horses in his meadow, one
OF them being sadded. AS the horses did
not belong to him. their presence there at
that time and in that condition excited his
curiosity. So Longley and Plues watched,
until just at break Of day a woman emerged
from the shelter of a neighboring haystack
and mounted the saddled horse. The men
at once made their appearance and detained
the damsel. She said she was in a great
hurry to get to Monroe, where her father
was very sick, and would be alarmed at any
delay on her part. The men announced
their determination TO accompany her TO the
city, and took her to the house.
While they were making some necessary
preparations for the trip, she stole out at the
back of the house, mounted the horse which
was saddled, and, followed by the other
horse, made break for the woods at break
neck speed. As soon as 1t was known that
the bird had flown, there was "hurrying to
and fro, and amounting in hot haste, " etc.
Soon the neighbors were started In search Of
the missing fair one, who was In the mean
time. making as much of her start as the
strength and speed of her horse would per-
nit Away she went, over fences and logs,
through swamps, woods and fields, in style
unsurpassed even by John Gilpin. Only
once she stopped for an obstruction Coming
to a high fence she ordered a man near by
to lower the fence, which, as it inclosed his
cornfeld, he respectfully declined to do, but
the prompt appearance of her " shooting
stick" persuaded him to do 80, and off she
went.
But all things must end, and her.ride was
terminated, and she herself captured about
noon. 1t is said that her indignation and
scorn at the capture of "defenceless wo-
man" were expressed in terms quite worthy
Of the original -. d" pursuit himself. She
was brought to this city and examined by
prosecuting attorney Raleigh. A Telegram
was seat to Toledo, and an official soon
arrived and identified her as common pros
titute of that city, by the name Of Geoit. 1t
seems that she was married about fifteen
years since, and was subsequently divorced
from her husband. She lately determined
to make "raid " on her former husband,
which she did, and abducted two of his
horses, which she rode, one at time, from
his home in Williams County, Ohio, to this
place, distance of about ninety-fye miles.

RATIFICATION OF THE AMENDMENT
Governor Curtin has issued circular letter
to the executives of the various loyal States
suggesting harmony of action in calling the
Legislatures together to consider the Con-
stitutional amendment just passed by both
Houses of Congress, and that it is under
stood that such uniform action will be had,
So soon as the Governors are notified off,
cially of the proposed amendment they will,
it is said, issue their proclamations, calling
their Legislatures together to consider the
ratification thereof The States of Connec-
ticut and New Hampshire have their Legis.
latures now in session, and consequently
will be the first to ratify. The circular OF
Governor Curtin furnishes the very impulse
needed in this emergency to secure the set-
tlement of the whole question before the ad.
journment of Congress. The proclamation
of Governor Curtain will no doubt soon be
issued, and thus set the example for the
other States.

n SONG.

On the bank of river was seated one day
An old man, and close by his side
Was child who had paused from his laugh
ing and play
To gaze on the stream as it hurries away
To the sea, with the ebb of the tide.
What see you, my child, in that stream as
it flows
To the ocean so dark and so deep?
Are you watching how swim, yet how silent
it goes?
Thus hurry our lives till they sink in repose,
And are lost in measureless sleep.
Now listen, my boyl You are young, I
am old,
And yet like two rivers are we,
Though the flood.tide of youth from Time a
ocean is rolled,
Yet it Gibbs all too soon, and its waters grow
cold
As it creeps back again to the sea-"
" But the river returns" cried the boy,
while his eyes
Cleaned bright as the water below
" All yes" said the old man "but time,
as it flies,
Turns the tide of our life, and it never can
rise"
" But first" said the boy, sit must
flow."
Thus watching its course from the bank of
the stream,
They mused as they sat side by side,
Each read different tales in the rivers bright
gleam'
One borne with the flow of glorious dream,
And one going out with the tide.

MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY.
Is there man a whit the better

For his acres and his palace
If his inmOst heart is callous,
Is man whit the better2
And if a mans no whit the better
For his Golfers and his mines,
For his purple and fine linen,
For his vineyards and his vines,
Why do thousands bend the knee,
And cringo in mean servility,
If o mans no whit the better?
Is man whit the worse
For lowly dress of rags?
Though he owns no lordly rental,
If his heart is kind and gentle,
Is man bit the worseg
And if mans no bit the worse
For poor and lowly stand,
For an empty, even pocket,
And brawny, working hand,
Why do thousands pass him by
With a cold, and scornful eye,
If mans no whit the worses

THE HARVEST CALL
BY VIM. II BuRLEIoH.


Abide not in the Realm Of Dreams,
oh man, however fair it seems,
Where drOwsy airs thy powers repress
In languor of sweet idleness.
Nor linger in the misty Past,
Entranced in visions vague and vast;
But with clear eye the Present scan,
And hear the call of God and man,
That call, though many voic'd, is one
With mighty meanings in each tone;
Through sob and laughter, strickland prayer
Its summons meets thee everywhere.
Think not in sleep to fold thy hands,
Forgetful of thy Lords commands;
From Duty's claims no life is free
Behold, to-day hath need OF thee!
Look upl-the wide extended plain
Is bilowy with its ripcned grain,
And on the Summer winds are rolled
Its waves of emerald and gold
Thrust in thy sickle!-nor delay
The work that calls for thee to-day:
Tomorrow, if it come, will bear
Its own demands of toll and care
The present hour allots thy taskl
For present strength and patience ask,
And trust his love whose sure supplies
Meet all thy needs as they arise
Lol the broad fields with liarvests white
Thy hands to strenuous toll invite;
And he who labors and believes
Shall reap reward of ample sheaYes.
Up, for the time is Shorthand soon
The morning sun will climb to noon;
Upl-ere the herds, with tramping feet
Outrunning thine, shall spoil the wheat,
While the day fingers do the bestl
Full soon the night will bring its rest,
And, duty done, the rest shall he
Full of beatitudes to thee.
