''Certainly, sir, all right" ex-
claimed the landlord, as he pro-

the gentleman his apartment.
The soldier evidently slept
soundly; but very early in the
morning he might haye been seen
descending the stairs with the mat
trass upon which he had slept care
fully tied up and slung over his
shoulder. He had not proceeded
far, however, before he was met
by the astopished landlord, who
Indignantly demanded to know
what he was doing with that bed.
"Gwine to take it out for the
regiment" coolly remarked the
soldier,
"You are, are your" roared the
exasperated landlord; show dare

The Dying wife's Appeal

Come near me, let me lay my hand
Once more upon thy brow,
And let me whisper in thine ear
Loves last and fondest VOW. ee
The lips that breathe these trembling words,
Must soon lie cold in death,
And thy dear cheek can feel no more
Their warm and loving breath.
I go from thee: God only knows
How have longed to stay j..
How have shuddered thus to tread
The long and shadowed way.
Faith tells me that l soon must know
The joys the blessed find,
And yet falter, while cast -
A lingering look behind. M H
l see thee bowed before me here,
In bitterness and tears;
But can1cave thee something still, -
TO light thy weary years; -
Young tender forms will cling to thee,
| Perhaps will miss my tone,
And though they may not shars thy grief,
Thou wilt not mourn alone.
Fold-fold them closer to thy breast,
And soothe their childish woe,
And cheer the many lonely hours
The motherless must know.
The world with all its hopes and joys,
Will sometimes make thee glad;
But they must linger round the hearth,
Still desolate and sad.
And @, when time shall still thy grief,
Perchance the hour may come
When thou wilt choose another form
To share thy heart and home
When thou wilt welcome to thy board
a younger. fairer face,
And bid thy children smile on her,
Who takes their mothers place.
But think not, gould speak to thee,
+ That would frown or blame,
Though they should love the stranger one
And call her by my name,
VA tHoy Will si'eah W tuee Vi me,
My memory is their trust:
A word, a smile, look like mine
Win lcall me from the dust.
Yet,make my grave no place Of tears,
But let the dear ones bring
To cheer their mothers lonely home,
The blossoms of the spring;
And there thou too wilt sometimes kneel,
And softly press the earth
That covers her, whose face once was
a brightness to thy hearth.
Then will the forms of early years
Steal softly to thy side,
And for an hour thou can'st forget
Thou hast another bride.
She may be all thy heart can ask,
So dear, SO true to thee;
But o, the spring-time of thy love,
Its freshness was for me.

then bind it to the wound and keep

ObscenIty In the Z. uins of Pompeii.


There is one matter in relation to POM
peii that is seldom touched on by writers
and whirh dare not touch too closely, to-
wit, The horrible depravity of the Pom
peians, as illustrated by the frescoes,
mosaics, sculptors and bronze statues that
are found. Hundreds of these vile objects
have been carried away to the museum 10
Naples, and put In room which no woman
Is allowed to visit; but there are still
houses IN Pompeii that art kept locked, and
Others that have such sculptures over the
doors on the outside that the guides hurry
past them when there are women in the
party. Even in private houses there are
scoresof. frescoes%magnihcen tly executed,
too-which one would dare to visit only in
company with his nearest and dearest
friends, if ladies, and In other houses pic
lures and statues than which none can i'm
ngine any thing yworse.s l can not under
stand why tile writer's on these matters have
been 30 anxious TO conceal the faults of the
ancients. II is a fact which deserves to be
generally known. Great Godi what a
picture of corruption in Imperial Rome Is
revealed to one who looks into Pompeii
with anything like thoroughness. The
very stone Of the door posts tells tale
more damnable than was ever invented by
mudern thought. SodOm was clean and
GomorrahSwas pure, compared with Pom
peii. Where was ever a.people on earth,
before or since Pompeii, that advertised
the ways that lead down to hell" by sculp-
lures placed in the open light Of the streets !?

THE Illinois Legislature has been for
some time in extra session, but the pro-
ceedings have amounted to nothing. Most
of the bills passed are of such character
that the Governor is compelled to veto
them. One of these bills, known as the
"Cheese bill" gave the corporators the
exclusive right to manufacture cheese i'll
Mclean county for ten years. In vetoing
It, the Governor says he cannot see why
the corporators shave any more right to
manufacture all the cheese in Mclean
county for ten years than they have to eat
all the cheese in Mclean county for the
same number of years.

few days ago to-a French Canadian who
was employed in saw mill OF David Smith
at Chester Center, Massachusetts. Being
wearied with unusual long and severe la
bor he sat down upon the truck which he
was attending and falling asleep. was in an
instant wheeled up, against tine saw which
was running with, tremendous speed, aud
dropped in the pit, below. Sufficient
strength was left him to call fellow work
man to his assistance, who, with wonderful
presence of mind, seized the end of the
severed artery now squirting forth quarts
of blood, and with piece of linen thread
which he had in his pocket, firmly tied it
up, thus stopped the flow of blood till a
physician could be procured.
