WHO KEEPS DEAD ELOWERS2

Who keeps dead flowers? Not I,-inleed not |:
Inc world is wild with blossoms. and the sky
Drops roses and the regal moo n-lamped night
Brings sculpturcd lilies, carved of perfect light
Who keeps dead flowers? Thenccforth aw az with
these.
The ashy ghosts of sad anemonies!
With dlmpled. blushing buds refill the vase,
Dipped in the laughing Wine of 5 ummcr days.
Who keeps dead flowers? What if loving friend
Pa last spring give thee these, and now an end
has come to all his love? Ife's full to-day
of triends,-fresh friends,-fr flo wers, fling
these away.
Who keeps dead flowers: Alas one summer dav
Peaches how many, many turn away
From life's fresh blooming and bewilderins bowers,
To sigh in secret, and to keep dead flowers
VINO keeps dead flowers? An angel came one night
Ana passed by all the happy, left the bright
And laughing ones and ooh, oh was it meet p
only dead fioWers,-and laid them at Gods feet

LOST AND FOUND.
BY ALICE CARY.

A roof SO tight, and heart so bright.
In the time of the rain and frost;
And nice soft bed for his weary head
All. these are what he has lost!
Neghbors and friends, to make him amends
When his sky with clouds was crossed.
And the honor and trust of the good and lust
All. these are what he has LOST
A wife whose love shone rubies above,
When his heart was torn and tossed
And children whose ways reflected his praise
All! these are what he has lost.
\ purse without gold heart that is cold.
And heart that aches like wound;
The signs of disgrace in his eyes and face
An these are what he has found.
\ mind that is wrecked by his neglect.
And will evil habit has bound;
A tongue slow to speak, and hand that is weak
All. these are what he has four,.
some ragged clothes, and q great red nose.
And the right to be called a sot
A big brown jag, and pewter pint mug
An. these are all he has got!

To The County Boards Of Registration and
Township Reytstrars:
Accompanying this eommuuiestioa will
be found a pristed copy or 50 much Of
Chapter III II the Code Of West Virginia
as relates to the duties Of your respective
Offices. The law in relation to the Regis
tration Of Voters is very plain aud if it is
carefully examined by The members of the
County Boards and the Township Regis
trars, they can hardly fail to understand it.
1t becomes nay duty to inform you that
the XVIII Amendment to the Constitution
of the United States has been ratified by
the requisite number of States, and thc
Official announcement Of that fact has been
made by the United States authorities and
appropriate legislation by Congress has
been adopted to enforce it; hence it is now
clearly tie law Of the land and must be
obeyed as snch. Anything in the Consti-
tuition Of our State repugpant to The XVII
Amendment is nali and void. This is
manifest from Section 2 Of Article vi oil
the Constitution Of tho United States,
which declares that he Constitution and
the laws made in pursuance thereof "shall
be the supreme law ofthe land, y y 4
anything in the Constitution aud laws Of
any State to the contrary notwithstanding"
Besides this, the Constitution of West Vir-
ginia provides in section / of Article / that
1.-THE Constitution Of the United States and
the laws and treaties made in pursuance
thereof, shall be the supreme law ofthc
land"
The let section ofl5th Amendment afore-
said, declares that "The Right Of tho citi-
zcns Of tho United States to vote shall not
DO denied or abridged by the United States
or any State on account Of race or color
or previous condition Of servitude."
lis clear from this Amendment, taken
in connection with Section / Of Article III
of the Constitution Of West Virginia, that
all the male citizens Of tho State are enti-
tied toregister and vote OF all elections,
except person who is minor or Of uu-
sound mind or paupcr, or who is under
conviction Of treason, felony, or bribery in
au election, or who has not been resident
ofthe State for one year, aud of the county in
which ho offers to vote, for thirty days next
