The story Of another terrible murder is told
by tho Cologne Gazette. A country girl in
Schrimm, in the Governments Of POseD, had
received her inheritance of-3OO thalers from
the authorities, and OH her return home she
|speat the night in q village; having no ac-
quaintance there, she took refuge at the
house Of the village justice, to whom, in vir-
tue of his position, she gave her whole conf
Qence, and informed him of the object of her
Journey. He was ready to take her in, and
|edyised her to go to bed with his wife. When
all were IN deep sleep, the covetous host
got up, went into the garden, and dug hole
there. He then took y sharp knife, went to
the bed Hhere the women were sleeping, and
cut the throat of the person lying furthest
from the wall, took up his victim and buried
her in the gardeE When he came back he
found the bed empty. He had murdered his
own wife instead of the stranger. The wife
lay close to the wall during the evening, but
had afterwards meved to the outer side Of tn,
bed. 1he girl had got ont of bed after tn.

And so the battle is nearly done,
And the shield will be laid away.
For the golden bronze OF the evening sun.
SantS over the meadow gray.
lis long, long strife to theend, sweet wife
The end, just myrtle crown,
Two pillows of green, with Il cross between.
Where we lay our burden down.
This way has been dark at times, and drear,
With the dropping of tears between,
When the steady close of your hand in mine
Has been all that made it green;
But the sunlightbroke, when YOUR smile awokt
And the valleys Of rest were sweet,
When the hills were past. and the earth at las
Grew soft to our aching feet.
One love, one home, one heaven before,
One fold in heart and life,
And the old love still it will last us through
To the journeys end, sweet wife.
And reaching on, when this life is done,
1t will live, and thrive. and grow.
With deathless flame and a deeper name
Than our mortal loves can know
The waysidc guides upon life's broad track.
How Oft have we read through tears.
We've traced the lesson with whitened Inns
When we could not pray for fears
Some lie SO small, and some so tall,
But all are green at last
We hold them children. i'll our hearts.
And keep them, close and fast.
And some have heard life's sweetest tale,
And some its saddest song;
We leave them all to Him whose love
Can ne'er be blind or wrong.
While we turn back, look DER the track,
And wave of greeting send;
The paths lie wide, and the way beside.
But all leads TO one end.

We journey on the way.
And i'll the west the amber light
Proclaims dying day.
And what, though life die out, sweet wife.
And its signal fire burns low?
For glory white, that against the night
Like a watch fire seems to glow!

GOING TO SLEEP.

Their Chances on all have flung,
Two rosebud lips. their merry chattcring, teasing,
In bird-ke notes have sung.
Now, DER those orbs, the drowsy lids are closing.
Bidding adieu to light;
And lips, while hands and feet lie still, rcposing,
Have whispered their Good night

BYRoNs VISIT TO THE CONSTITUTION.

A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
writes
In 1914 l was Lieutenant on board the
United States ship St. Louis, in the China
seas, commanded by Capt. Isaac McKeever,
who one day informed me in the course of
familiar conversation that he was on board
the trigate Constitution, and officer of the
deck aud watch, when Lord Byron visited
the Constitution in 1922. He said Lord By
ron was very much embarrassed by his re-
ception, all the officers being assembled on
deck in full uniform, and the marines drawn
up under arms to receive him. Count Gam
bra the father of the too celebrated Countess
Guicioli, accompanied him. An elegantly
bound volume Of an American edition of his
poems was lying on the cabin table, which
he examined, with the remark, that it was
the handsomest compliment ever paid him.
AT that time the pronunciation of his name
was disputed in the United States, and Com
modore Jacob Jones, who commanded the
Mediterranean squadron, Of which the Con
stitution was the flag ship-a man of great
ton to him: pray, my Lord which is the
more correct pronunciation OF your name
Boron or Byron?" Lord Byron's reply,
though not direct one, settles the question
as to which he favored He hesitated mo-
lnent, said Captain Mckeever, and then said :
my grandfather called me Byron my
mother called me Byron my guardian, Be
ron !" intoning his voice, and speaking of his
grandfather with pride, of his mother with
affection, but Of his guardian with contempt.
Yet, Notwithstanding this declaration, l
have seen his name written is his own hand
writing-either on the walls of the Bridge
of Signs or on a column of the Temple of
Theseus, at Athens, | forget which-and
spelled Boron or Bron, certainly not with q.
He remained full hour on board the Con-
stitution and when he left was escorted on
shore in the Commodore's barge by Capt.
Mckeever then young lieutenant At the
landing, Lord Byron politely invited Lieut.
enant Mckcever to come and see him, but
with this cantion--"I am not an early riser"
Lord Byron mentions in his Journal OF let
tiers that lady begged a rose from him-that
lady was Mrs Smith, the wife of our Consul
at Smyrna, l believe. She pulled the flower
to pieces, saying she intended leaf for each
Of her female friends the admirers OF his
lordship's poems in America. The next dav
he sent her volume his poems, accompan-
led by note And it was in alluson to this
visit and its incident that he wrote Tom
Moore: HE would rather have nod from
IN American than snuff-boX from an En-
perOr" The Commodore offered to place a
schooner of the squadron at his disposal to
to take him to Greece, where he died, but he
declined At the time of his visit Captain
McKeever said he was handsome and distin-
que, and his hair was long and curling and
he wore whiskers. His hair was black, but
generously sprinkled with gray, and he was
beginning TO be corpulent.

THE EXECUTIVE BILLIARD-ROOM.

Just off the State dining-room, and back of
the passage leading to the conservatory, has
been erected small addition to the mansion
for the diversion Of the President. This is
the Executive billiard saloon. 1t is about
eighteen by twenty-five feet in Dimensions,
nearly all enclosed with glass, the narrow
spaces between the windows being filed with
pictures of a sporting character. The furni-
ture is of black walnut, and consists merely
of few chairs, a table, a side-board, etc.
The room is prettly carpeted, and contains a
single table of Phelan's make finished in rose
wood in the most elaborate style. The cues
are mostly of costly wood, inlaid with pearl
Everything in the apartment is Of the best,
and certainly it is an attractive spot. The
table was selected by Gen. Grant in person
at Phelans establishment in this city, and
was in use at his private residence before he
was elected President.
