Deal gently, Preacher,
with this poor creature,
SO fair of feature,
SO mute aud cold!
One beth yonder,
The clty's wonder,
Who scorned TO proiicr
Her charms tor gold.
Come nigh and study
Her winsome body
Those lips, once ruddy,
Now dank and pale
The hair, whose sable
Bostrews the table,
Would we were able
To guess her tals!
The Morgue hath paid her
Its last grim duty;
That sacred beauty
Lles all confessed.
What impress fingers
or baby fingerH
Was there no ring hers y
On Won white breast
For this she yielded
Life's strong endearment.
hiuk what her fear meant,
What hat despsir
Was there no morrow
rom which to borrow
Other than sorrow
For one 30 falrf
Father above us,
Save those who love us
Read what her hand wrote,
just ere she died:
" No friend no dear one,
Hath helped or hindered
| have no kindred,
In the world wide"
No stay was given
OF earth or heaven,
How she had striven
Unto this last
Honor was left her
Ere man bercft her
OF this one jewel
Her spirit passed.
Spotlcss and pure,
She doth en- lure
The slab. the -ower,
The bolv's shame
Her all defending,
To the storm bending,
She made this ending,
Hiding her name.
Poor soul and lonely,
Thy Father only
Saw thee IA mortal
Anguish that night
Saw. aud forgave thee
Men could not save thee,
When from thy portal
Thy breath took flight.
With no derlsion
OF thy misprisou
our pityiug vision
On thee doth fall.
Would we might aid thee.
Or could have s,aved thee,
Ere Want had laid thee
Here in Deaths hall

breach of promise of marriage-and

noon. From the evidence it ap-
pears that both live in or hear On
ondaga; that Harris had been fre-
quent visitor for about two and a
half years at the house ofthe plain
tif-a widow woman nearly thirty
years CT age, with three children
Itseems to have been the opinion of
the friends Of the plaintiff (and no
doubt she thought herself), that
Harris would marry her, but Harris,
from some unaccountabIe cause a
few months ago, suddenly discover
ed that ne loved another young la
dy better, AMI verified this belief a
short time since by marrying that
other lady. Hence this action was
brought by the plaintiff to recover
damages, to apply as a salve to her
wounded affections. The following
tender epistle, sent by the loving
swain, will interest the reader. and
we recommend it as model love
letter.
"9Iy Dear Mrs. M.-Every time
I think of you my heart lops up

Crops in the Cotton Growing States.

ge--(by the way, very important
organization reports, from ex-
animation. that the growing cotton
crop in Texas, Louisiana, Arkan-
as, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee, viii in all probabil-
ity, be twenty-five per cent. greater
than last year. We look upon this
as favorable exhibit for those
States: The crop of cotton win
doubtless bring Il uniform price of
about twenty cents per pound,
while the excess ofthe grain crop

The marble palace of business
was closed, but the head manager
opined that it would be a good plan
for the new clerk to call at the
house of one of the heads, as they
were rather particular about punct-
uality on the part of their employ
es, and Mr.. Wellington was already
a week behind time.
"NIr Saxon is out of town, but

dental man.
"Daleford, ehy thought Mr.. Oc-
tavius Wellington, as he entered
the address in his memorandum
book; "that's the name of our
grizzly bear friend! Ha!ha! ha!
An odd coincidence! Well, I may
as well go at once"
No. -, Westerfeld street, was a
stately mansion, with plate glass
windows, a broad fight of stone
steps and a delicious little conser-
vatory nesting behind. A servant
in plain black cloth admitted him
to drawing-room, where the soft
light Of shaded chandeliers fell
upon damask draped furniture,
moquette carpets and alabaster
statuettes. A lady sat reading at
one end Of the room, her slight
figure half buried in the depths of
the easy chair, and the folds of her
green moire antique dress shining
around her like the emerald biIlows
of the sea.

stranger advanced. "He will be

walked in, anu Octavius found him

laughing. 81 never said that I was

"He is the richest man in the
place" said Miriam, with admiring
pride, "and I was silly enough to

want to help him along in the
world with my little savingsr'
"And how is Dolly?' said Mr..
Daleford, as his wife slipped her
arm fondly through his. "You
must bring her up to see Miriam"
He had turned the tables now;
and was unconsciously patronizing
the dapper young salesman, as Mr..
Octavius Wellington had patroniz-
ed him in the kitchen Of the New
England farm house.
Dolly shut herself up in her
room and cried all the morning, af-
ter Miriam had called on her, in
an open barouche, drawn by two
stylish grays. For Octavius had
just called her "a silly fool for want
ing new silk dress, and asked her
if she thought he was made of mo-
ney,' and the landlady was trouble
some about her bills, and she had
been so foolish to throw Martin
Daleford over, and, worse than all,
she knew that she had only herself
to blame for it. Poor Dolly.
