LINES on THE DEATH OF MY WIFE,
Thy face oh wife still see,
Though gone to q distant land from me,
Where care and sorrow, regret and pain
Will seek thy pillow henceforth IN vain
Let me 60. let me go;
Go to that beautiful land with thee
Let me 60
No mortal anguish disturbs thy breast,
We have let thee go to that land of rest;
Thy smile was happy, thy soul is free,
Der death thou hast gained the victory
Let me go
Dear wife, would not call thee, MOI
'Tis not for this the tear-drops How;
But so would live that may be
Found worthy at last to come to thee
Let me 60
Werever turn my steps by day,
know thou art watching my weary way
Take nv hand MoLLiE, and lead me still
As a child obedient to thy Will
Let me GO
And when mY pillow | seek at night
see thee walking in robes of light;
And stretching thy hands toward us THREE,
As calling thy children home TO thee
We will GO

The VALLEY AND THE SHADOW,
is the title Of a new and interesting
book, by ]. NJ. Dixon, late Asso.
ciate Editor Of the Iowa State Reg
lister, and brother Of Rev. e. II
Dixon, formerly Pastor Of the M.
f. Church Of this place. The Au-
thor was for a number Of years edi-
torially connected with the Iowa
State Register, and was well known
as a pleasing and forciblc writer
but was compelled, by the total
loss of his eyesight, to leave his
profession. With the assistance OF
his friends in Iowa he was enabled
to place himself under the treatment
of one Of the finest Oeulists in the
country While under treatment
in Cincinnati, he became impressed
with the thought that he would
never recover his sight so as to en-
able HIM to earn a livelihood for
bis family. 1t suddenly occurred
to him that by preparing the manu-
script of q book and having it print
ed as soon as possible, he might
attain this result. With the assist
of his wife as an Amanuensis, he
has succeeded in placing the book
bearing the above title, before the
public,
The work comprises the expert
ences Of blind Editor, amusing
AUTOGRAPHED sketches, chapter
of Iowa journalism, and sketches
of the West and Western men, and
is a work which should meet with
a ready sale. The Author is per-
sonally known to many of onr citi,
zens, having spenta a short time here
last Spring.
Mr., c. H, Dixon, of this office,
is Agent for the sale of the book in
this county, and Rev. f. Fl. Dixon

GRANT AND THE JEws.-The Missouri
Democrat of recent date says that we'll
known and influential paper the Jeaoish Mes
senger, speaking of the anti Grant move
ment in that city, makes suggestions which
well deserve the consideration of the He
brews. Coming, not from an INSCRIPTIONS
political organ, tainted with disloyalty, but
from paper especially representing their
interests, the suggestions will lave weight.
=, The Messenger says:
No sensible Jews are taking part in the
public meeting called at st. Louis to oppose
Grant. They would only be the tools of de-
signing politicians who have no love for the
Union, and who seek to create sentiment
in favor of principles and men antagontistic
to the true interests of all good citizens If
Hebrew members of the Republican party
decline to support its candidate, they will
certainly do so ON their individual accounts,
and'need no pressure. They will not iden-
THY themselves as Jews with any partisan
movement. A minister of Jewish congre.
CATION once preached political sermon, to
the surprise and regret of his brethren. The
experiment has not been often repeated. Is
raelites are too intelligent and too selfas-
-sserting to be driven or led by their ministers
especially in matters that have no connection
with religion.

We noticed = few days ago the

a man named Wilson, at Philadcl
phia, Ncshoba county, Miss Since
then We have heard the particulars
from member Of tho Columbus bar,
who has recently been near the scene
Of blood, and tho facts make il enc OF
the mos, terrible tragedies that has
ever occurred Ia this section.
II seems that young Barrier was
engaged 10 he married TO one of the
most respectable and beautiful girls
in the county. The day before the
day set for the marriage, Barrier met
young Wilson IN the street, and 70
qucs,cd him to 20 with him 10 the
probate Office TO get his marriage
license. He did so. The license
was obtained, and Barrier lei. the
Office. Wilson, also, clandcs.incly
obtained n license 10 marry the same
girl Tho compsny had assembled
at the time and place appointed for
the celebration Of tho nuptisls, and
just ~ all things we're ready, .bc lady
wis reported very sick. ChIoroform,
morphine, and other opirses rerc ud
ministered 10 her, and In few hours
ahd WAS sufficiently revived, and tho
marriage VOWS were taken. None
ksew at tho time the cause Of her
sudden ss~h~ss~. ~ was Afterwards
asccrtsincd thnt Wilson hsd sent her
message not 10 marry Barrier.
Tho com ,unicstinn had NO much al.
fectcd her that she became ghas,ly
pale and tainted.
Aiser the ceremony, az is the Gus
tom in That region, the new husband
carried his bride 70 his humola home.
That night the pair, after having ro,
tired to their bridal chamber, were
aroused by several friends Of Wilson,
and one Of them demanded an inter
view with the bride. She saw him,
aud in few minutes Informed her
husband Tint she intended to return
to her fathers homo al once. She
left with Wilson's friends and went
back TO her fathers heuse. lmme-
diately afterwards she filed bill for
divorce, alleging ,hat she married
Barrier while under the influence Of
op;ates.
A few days afterwards tho Circuit
Court was To- NEST, and on the first
day Of the court large crowd col
loctcd al the county town, Before
noon the crowd wcrc scen rushing to
one point, where something unusual
was Transporting. Barrier was at

excitement, when hc saw Wilson

between him and Miss White. A.
