Her smile was sunshine TO his heart,
And still was lingering there.

Her temper sweet and mild
And that She was all innocence,
And joyous as a child.

But, in his heart, feel he bears
A silent weight of woe.

Yet when / hear him sigh,

To days that are gone by.

BY PHGBE GARY,
Impatient women, as you wait
In cheerful homes tonight to hear
The sound of steps that, soon or late,
Shall come as music TO your ear.
Forget yourselves little while,
And think in pity of the pain
OF woman who will never smile
To hear coming step again.
With babes that in their cradles sleep,
Or cling TO you in perfect trust
Think of the mothers lett to weep,
Their babes now lying in the dust.
And whtn the step You wait for comes,
And all your world is full of light,
o, women, safe in happy homes,
Pray for all lonesome souls tonight.

There are woman who rush into fiction
Just as the meadows break up into daisies,
and birds pour out their lives in song.
They wish to assert themselves, to explain
themselves, to have themselves compre-
hended, and win sympathy and appre-
citation, to revolt against the tyranny of
the circumstances that surround them, to
create for themselves the fancied circum-
stances in which their idealized characters
would have fnl expansion; and these per-
sons often make full confession of the
res;lesness, tragedy, and unsatisfed long
ings Of their lives.

about three nilcs out on the Peaehtree road,
came on foot into the city accompanied BY :

lowed by q notorious negro, named Henry
Brown. Whom within a milo Of their home The
villain overlook tho two girls, and asked som'
questions about where they were going, how fai
out they lived, etc He then made some indo
cent propositions to the frightened young lady
and, finally to the little girl which, Of course
were nugrily resented. The monster then, In a
secluded part Of the road, seized upon Miss Led
better, and despite her cries and entreatie' sue.
ceeded In violating her person In sight OF her
helpless and terrified little companion, and then
left them, and made his way back to the city.
The two girls proceeded to their home, and
making known tho outrage that had been com
mitted, and giving description oil the scoun'
drel, q party of men came into the city 10 quest
OF him. Finding Deputy Marshal Ed. U. Mur'
ply, they yo him a description Of the negro,
and he at Q ce recognised 1t as the description
of a notorious negro thief, upon whom he had
for some time been endeavoring to get . hold.
In ten minutes he found and arrested Brown,

ladies were, he was Immediately identified by
both Of them, lie was brought back to tho city
and locked up until yesterday, whom he had a
preliminary trial before Judge D. D. Smith. or
course he was committed for trial at tho April

hope he will DO put out Of further mischief.
This Henry Brown is q notorious negro bur.

We hope he may be so disposed ofthat his mis-.

checked, and he be made Of some service to the
State. We regret that the law docs not put rape
