LOwLASD MARY.
BY JAMES LINEN.

The rosy rays Of the morning light
In their downward course may tarry,
And linger to gid the mountain tops
Ere / cease TO love my Mary;
The rolling spheres may be lost in night,
The sun in his course may vary,
But my constant heart viii aye beat true
To my own dear Lowland Mary.
Der my head the clouds of care may hang,
And my cherished hopes miscarry,
But no changes that the world may bring
Can e er change my love for Mary;
Trees may not bloom and birds n ay not sing,
And the speed of time may vary,
But, warmly thronged in this loving heart,
Shall reign my own Lowland Mary.

Rohherx nna shootinr.

Mr.. 4. Bauman keeps little clothing
store on Main street, near the corner of
Gayoso. AT six o'clock this morning he
opened his door to the world and retired
to the back part of his store to complete
his toilet. While doing so, he looked
out wistfully towards the front and dis
covered that some person had opened
the door of glass-case wherein was re-
posing a large and varied lot of jewelry.
Forgetting his neglige appearance, he
rushed forth and locked the door, but at
once found himself firmly embraced by
the strong arms of negro. A scuflle
took place, which resulted in the pre-
prietor getting loose and grabbing
pistol. The negro surrendered, and
gave up three gold watches which he
had in his shirt-bosom. Bauman
sent for, a policeman, while he and
his wife kept guard over the robber.
The latter, seeing another pistol lying
on the shelf, grabbed it and snapped it
in Bauman's face; but it was not loaded.
Another desperate struggle took place
between the negro and Bauman for the
possession of the pistol in the hands of
the latter, during which Bauman and
wife received several bruises. The fight
progressed through the store to the back
door, out through which the robber burst
ed and fed up the alley. Bauman fred
three shots at the negro. The last shot
was fred while he was climbing over
fence, and it is believed to have taken
effect in the lower portion of his back,
as there was cotemporaneous howl of
pain as the shot was fired, and he was
seen scampering away towards the
bayou with his hand upon that portion
of his body which received the bullet.
He was not arrested up to twelve o'clock
to-day.

The Odors of Flowers.

The love of flowers is taste cult
waited by the people of Memphis as
earnestly as any people in the world.
The lovers of flowers, who adorn their
parlors and bedrooms with natures
brightest gems, will be shocked to learn
at last, according to La Press Medicale
Beige, the odors exhaled by flowers,
leaves or fruits are productive of serious
disorders in the human system, when
confined in limited space, and espe-
cially during the night in closed cham
Der. Headache and faintness ensue,
and even asphyxia, if their action is
prolonged. In nervous persons, numb
ness, commissions and loss CT voice may
occur; but the usual effect is state of
sleepiness, with feebleness and retarda-
ton of the action of the heart. The
most deleterious flowers are the lily, hy-
acinth, narcissus, crocus, rose, carna-
ton, honeysuckle, jessamine and violet.
