THE DAILY NEWS.
Day-Dawn.

Between the dawnlng and ths day,
Before the rising Of the lark.
The May bloom glistened in tho dark;
And all the land in shadow lay
Between the dawning and the day.
Between the dawning and tho day.
The wet wild flowers in thine hair
Shed soft rain of honey there;
stopped to KISS tho drops away
Between the dawning and the day.
Between the dawning and the day,
Phe wind fell and the thunder ceased,
The red light came up from the east,
AS my dear love q dying lay
Between the dawning and the day.
Between the dawning and the day,
knew the silence was not sleep,
But death-and yet could not weep;
, I could not even kneel and pray
Between the dswning and the day.
But when the bloom is on the May,
And scent from wet wild flowers rare
Come floating Oh the twilight air:
Ahl sweetest face md fragrant hair
Ny bitter to irs dry not awayi
Between the dawning and the day.

"a Lively Scene-An Ancient freedman
Collared by his Spouse.

90 Saturday morning, while on our rounds
In search of the COMPOUNDED item, we were
directed to certain locality by young urchin
who represented that an old negro woman was
.beatin' her husband to death" We repaired
to the spot, and there beheld scene we'll
worthy of the pencil of Elder.
An elderly negro woman, bedecked in her
store clothes, aud surrounded by her carpet
bag, a red cotton umbrella, and crowd of
young urchins of all colors, had an old, gray
haired darby by the collar, and while belabor-
ing him with a tolerably stout eudgel, gave
him. q. tongue lashing somewhat as follows:
''Oh, yes, you nasty, stinkin,' black rascal;

Labor in Kentucky.

Don Piatt gives the following incident of a
trip by boat from Cincinnati to Louisville:
A gentleman of tall, portly figure sat near
me. lie had rather good head, inclined to
badness, a hooked nose, prominent chin, fresh
complexion, and wore his clothes as no other
creature born of woman can do, save Ken
tuckian. He looked like lord of creation
and talked like negro.
"Thar they CO." he cried, resting his legs
upon the guard of the boat and squirting to-
bacco juice with the accuracy of rifle thro'
the opening before him. Thar they go,
wheat, oats, corn and grapes, up the sides of
the hill tilt clean over. Don't sec anything
of that sort over tother side, not by long
shot. Our cussed fellers in Kentuck don t
scratch about in that ar way"
Probably they enjoy themselves, in their
way, quite as much as their more industrious
neighbors."
Lord God, yes. When it comes to en-
joyment our fcllers count ten. They hold
full hands, tell you. But enjoyment is get
ting to be costly, you see. 1t arn't what it
once was, when Teller could get blind drunk
on dime. We haven't tie niggers, and our
cusscs find it's root hog or die. But they
don't root much"
What do they do for living ?"
It's hard to tell, stranger If chap has
any land he is apt to sell it for what he can
get. Good many 90 to the far West. Some
tend bar or keep Enthusiastically few work.
That's about the last thing Kentucky ouss
thinks Of"

A HARD SToRY.-Here is California
story which is almost incredible: 4 hired
man on Napa farm was detailed to keep a
watch on the cornfeld, and not let the black
marauders invade the premises, but like many
other men in similar situation, tried to plan
a method whereby SO much labor would not
have to be performed; so he hit upon the
plan of soaking some corn in whiskey and
placing it in the field so that the crows would
surely get drunk, and then he thought he
would have sure thing on them, and could
kill them easily. He had tried to shoot them
with a shot gun, but crows can smell powder
a long way. After soaking some corn over
night, he put bountiful supply in the field
early next morning, and in about two or three
hours he went out to sec how things were
progressing and mark you what follows One
of the crows, a little larger than the rest, bad
gathered up and taken possession of almost all
the corn aud had built himself bar out of
clods of earth, and was retailing the whiskey
soaked corn to the other crows, charging them
three grains of sprouted corn for one soaked
grain. Our hired man had not the heart to
Kill any of the creatures that seemed in their
actions like mankind.
