WHY LOVE rs BLIND.


At noon, across a woody glade,
Itook my silent way,
And spied how by an alder shade,
Asleep young Cupid lay;
His silver bow beside him flung,
With arrow spent and cord unstrung.
The cherub face was pilIowed deep

So strangely still, I knew his sleep
Was deaths eternalcaln,;
That secret pain or hostile blow

Fortune Telling.

One of our exchanges is respon-
sible for the following story rela-
tive to this popular and pernicious
vice: r
"Not many evenings since it is
recorded that a sinner who has es-
capped hanging for 10! these many
years, was in company with several
ladies. The subject of fortune tell
ing was introduced. Several of
the angels pleaded guilty to the
soft impeachment Of having writ
ten to Madam This and Madam
That to furnish them leaves in
their future history. Instances
were mentioned Of some very re-
markable Developments in GER
tain case hereabouts.
'1Old R was asked for his
opinion. He replied: $50 far. as
am personally concerned, | know
more about myself than ! wishto.
| don't think any good comes Of
those things, | had friend who
dressed himself in lady's clothes,
and called upon celebrated
prophecies. He did not believe
she would discover the disguise,
but he heard what made him ex-
ceedingly unhappy. Here the old
reprobate ceased. A lady much
interested asked, what did she
tell him?' sShe told him he was
to marry soon, and become the
mother Of ten chtldrenr"

The Old Voting Law.

Women voted in New Jersey
from the passage of the first State
Constitution in 1776 until 1903.
The Constitution provided that
call inhabitants" possessing ESQ
clear estate, and had resided in the
State twelve months, should vote.
In 100, the Legislature, in an act
regulating elections, used the
words sshe or she" in reference to
voters. An act passed seven years
1atSr used similar expressions. In
1906 the women voted generally
throughout the contest between
Jefferson and Adams. In 1902 a
member of the Legislature was
elected in a closely contested elec-
tioIl by the votes of two or three
colo,ed women. Inthe winter of
I807-8 the Legislature, which had
no right thus to modify the Con.
stitution, passed an act to restrict
The suffrage to white male tax pay
ers. 1t was not until l744, when
he YeN Constitution was adopted,
that women and negroes were law
fully excluded from suffrage.

NOHOME.
BY ELLvIE.


'tNo home, no home" sighed little girl,
At the door of a princely hall,
As she trembling stood on the polished step,
And leaned on the marble wall.
Her clothes were thin, her feet were bare,
But the snow had covered her head;
so give me a home!" she feebly cried
"a home and bit CT bread!
''My father, alas! l never knew
And tear dimmed her eye SO bright -
''My mother sleeps in a new-made grave;
'Tis an orphan begs tonight"
Twas cold and dark. and the snow fell fast,
But tbs rich man shut his door;
And his proud lip curled with scorn as he said,
''No room, no bread for the poor"
81 must freeze she said, asshesank on nthestep,
And strove to wrap her feet
In her tattered dress, all covered now
Yes, covered with snow and sleet.
The hours passed on, and the midnight chime
Rolled out like funeral knell;
The earth seemed wrapped in winding sheet,
And the drifting snow still fell.
The rich man slept on his velvet couch,
And dreamed of his silver and gold;
The little girl lay in bed of snow, .,
And murmured, $50 cold! SO cold!'
The morning dawned, and the orphan child
Still lay at the rich mans door;
But her soul had fed to a home above,
Where there's room and bread for the poor.

Some months since, Judge Or
mand, of this State, returned from
Mobile with between $4,000 and
$4,000. Soon afterwards he
died. and his executors found
that the money had mysteriously
disappeared. Suspicion finally
rested on a negro girl who had
been in the employ of the Judge,
and upon cautiously tracing the
matter up, it was found that she
and her Black accomplice had got
possession of the money, and thai
n r merchant of Huntsville had
changed two 81 900 bills for them,
charging $500 commission for DO

two former slaves of Ex-Governor
Chapman, were arrested and are
now awaiting trial, except one who
managed to break jail. About
$4,000 of the money was dis
eoyered.--Lieingston Journal.

A GENERAL CUTTING AFFAIR.-Samuel
Hughes, colored, was brought before the
mayor Saturday to answer the charge OF
cutting John Clarke, colored, in his house
on Friday night.
A number Of witnesses were examined.
Those for Clarke testified that there was a
dance at Clarke's house on Cary street
that Hughes and another negro named
Jim Johnson had kicked up muss
Clarke had put out Johnson, and was at
tempting to put out Hughes, when he
stabbed him through the shoulder.
The witnesses for Hughes stated that he
was as peaccable as lamb, did nothing to
create difficulty; that Clarke and bis
brother had commenced assaulting the &C.
cused and others. Some asserted that
Clarke had drawn long dirk and dashed
at the colored male and female attendants
who had assembled in his ballroom to pass
time by whirling in the giddy mazes of the
dance; that they had vanished before him
like frostwork before the breath of fur
mace, but not before he had made "hls
mark" on some Of them.
The Mayor stated that some hard lying
had been done by some Of the witnesses
but he was not prepared to say which, and
remanded the accused to Jail to appear foI
examination before Judge Burnham's court
to-day.
