GRAPE ON THE nooR.

Somebody's dead there's Grape on the door,
The blinds are half-closod ON a ncighboring store;
some one in sorrow Of loved one bereit,
Somebody taken and somebody left
Gone from this world, its care and its strife,
Gone from the dear ones beloved during life
Gone to home with the ransomod above,
Gone TO a Saviour whose fullness is love.
Closed be the eyes Of the sleeper to-day,
silent the home where the loved one doth lay;
There IS season Of weeping for one
Whose troubles are ended whose lnbors are done
Heavy the football as each on his way,
Ircods the brick pavement lighthcarted to-day ;
Little they heed the half-blinded store
Little they care for the Grape on The door.
Little care they in the battle Of life,
Ardently fighting mid turmoil and strife;
Little care they who never look back,
With eyes firmly ixeti on lics beaten track.
Onward they rush tin in reaching life's bound,
They slacken the footstcp aud quiet the sound
Ceasing their Efforts their ab0rs give o'cr,
Pass them by gently, there's Grape on the door.

A Bold Assassination.

DARK aud bloody was the deed a
feeling of horror thrilled through the
hearts of the many witnesses who
stood by and saw young and happy
bridegroom shot down, and without
any apparent cause, by the hand Of
the sneaking ASSASSIN. A merry and
joyous company had assembled last
evening in the parlor Of the ST. Mich
olas Hotel TO do honor 10 the union of
two loving hearts-the marriage OF
Mr. J. G. Foster, late of Bowling
Green, Ky, TO Miss Rose Bird, of this
city. Father Donnelly had just per-
formed the marriage ceremony. The
bride was in the parlor attended by a
bovy of beauties and merry young
maidens The proud bridegroom had

torcd an uDinvited guest, Mr.. Thomas
Smith, of Independence, who at once
accosted Foster. Very few words
passed between them. A bystander
overheard the following conversation,
the meaning whereof is still shrouded
in mystery Foster was standing at
the corner of the bar when Smith said,
"Yon do not mean it," 81 do
"Thcn prepare yourself" At the
same time he produced navy revol-
yer and fired into Foster. Turning
around, without word of explana-
tion, the assassin walked out of the
saloon, putting up his pistol as he
walked cody across the street past
the court house Turning between
the Market House and the court. house

scene, and the wounded man carried
up stairs. His cries were continuous.
His only exclamanations being: "Tom

"Oh, why have you shot me down
upon this my wedding 2" 81 who
was your best friend and loved you
Oh, Tom, why have you murdered

wound by Drs Milligan, Taylor, and
other surgeons whose names VIC were
unable to learn, showed that the bullet
had passed through the right hand
aud had entered the abdomen near the
groin, and had glanced obliquoly down
wards, lodging about three inches from
where it had entered. The opinion OF
the surgeons was that the wound was
dangerous, bat not necessarily fatal.
The scene in the parlor was beyond
description. The fair ard elegantly
attired bride, stricken down in her
grief and horror, was surrounded by
her bridesmaids and relatives. Here
and there were fair girls lying pros
trate and insensibe from fright. Sobs
and whispers were the only sounds ia
be heard All was sadness and griel

Tom Smith is now under Indictment
for robbing Stone & Thornton's Bank

about two years, having but recently
