A Tragic RemineSclnCe.
Cincinnati Gazette, Nov. Is.


In our CovIngton news department
will be found a notice Of the death of
Mr.. A. X. Gaines, a prominent citizen
of Boone county, Kentucky, from lock
jaw. Mr.. Gaines is entitled to celebrity
as the owner of the Garner slaves,
whose flight from slavery and recap
ture at Cincinnati, resulted in the aW-
full tragedy, III which Margaret Garner
slew her children to save them from the
fate of slavery Even in the calloused
state of the public conscience Of that
time, this illustration of slavery as it
appeared to desperate mother,
sent a thrill of horror throughout
the north; and with the lapse of
time the real features of the tragic act
have become more deeply impressed
upon the public mind. In those days
a code which set aside all the safe
guards which the centuries of growth
Of Anglo Saxon law had created for the
protection of personal liberty, and
which treated the rights of the states
and of their citizens with contempt, was
IN force, and obseqTious Unites States
commissioners, servlle Democratic at
tOrneys, trucking and truculent United
States Marshals, and great posses of
roughs, who themselves made riots IN
order to draw fees, were brought into
requlsltlon to return fugitive men and
women whose despair resulted In such
tragedies. This was the much Demo
cratic lamented time of the "Constittl-
ton as 1T was" The Democratic party
IS welcome to its memories.

An ingenious Invention.

There is a clock on exhibition at the
Maryland Institute Fair which Is a no

bourg. 1t strikes the quarter hours,
on four balls to different tones. II

seen coming along a road. 1t stops be

The Nuns Vigil.
BY HATTIE TYING GRIswoLL.

Once moro the evening shadows creep
Around my oriel window here,
Once more, high up the convent wall
They climb, and disappear.
And here sit, as l have sat
Upon thousand moonlight nights,
To listen to the minister chimes
And watch the monastery lights.
l catch glimpse of foam-white sea,
Breaking upon dead, black shore;
/ see the trees their wild arms toss,
l hear the breakers roll and roar.
All, winds shrek wildly down the beach,
In calmer scenes have no part:
The storms alone suit to my mood
Of all, around the Sacred Heart.
All, dread to me are the still hours,
When the sea sleeps i'll peaceful calm,
And through the dushv corridors
| hear the Sisters holy psalm.
Dread is the hush Of early dawn,
And dread all soft and peaceful times;
NV heart Is Calmer when the storm
Dcalcns, or wholly browns the chimes.
All, Christ it is a fearful thing,
Ia such holy place to live,
Aud hear, in every prayer and chant,
Gods voice, commanding to forgive
And still TO feel in every throb
OF my wild ii art that sense of wrong,
Which cannot, will not be appeased,
But still grows stronger and more strong.
Upon my knees spend my days,
| scourge my flesh with penance sore,
Yet still my heart the old wrong holds,
Refusing still to give it DER.
And sometimes through the night / hear
The Tempter, in whose power l i've,
Whispering, " Some wrongs cruel are,
That it were sinful to forgive"
And then he takes me back again,
Back through the dark and dreadful years,
And pite0usly shows me, now,
What [ saw dimly then, through tears;
And hat, and anger rage AGAIN
Within this mad and impious heart,
As If it were but yesterday,
That raging passions madly start,
And every time the bell rings out,
That summons me to praise or prayer,
sinful longing for the world,
And all that encountered there
Yea, even for the love which gave
This cruel wound unto my life.
Cones over me, and tears and rends
Me With fierce and deadly strife.
Oh, Mary-AIother hear me call
Give peace once more unto my SOUL
The peace of God, that nevermore
The waves of sin may DER me roll
All fearfully the winds rave now!
The breakers roll tar up the heights
/ hear no more the minister chimes,
Nor see the monastery lights

4 dainty little bonnet,
The sweetest marabout,
A sea of tawny Wavelets
Ger forehead white as snow,
A brace Of sparkling sapphires,
Two cheeks of rosy dye,
A pair of lips of ruby,
And fascinating sigh.
Thinkst thou she goes to worship?
Al il is difficult to tell,
But it's plain both saints and sinners
Worship that Sabbath belle,
A tightly-fitting bodice,
Costume all broCaded,
Short petticoats with fiounCes,
In endless colors braided
Lnameled shoes with buckles.
Such as the Frenchmen vend,
With lofty, taper heel-taps,
To give a Grecian bend.
Thinh'st thou it's for Gods glory
She dresses out SO well?
Or does she want some saint or sinner
TO love the Sabbath belle?

NaninsJmg New Era Of q recent
date -
The great success which has attended
the practice of DR.. Stearns during the
short time he has been in this place, Is
the general topic of conversation among
our people. Hundreds have called on
him at his rooms at the Everett House,
and his wonderful accurate diagnosis OF
disease has astonished everybody. His
successful treatment of disease is equally
astonishing, and in many cases amounts
almost to miracle. His rooms are
crowded daily, and those who have put
themselves under his treatment freely
express their confidence in the PROBES
sional abilities of DR.. Stearns, and their
gratitude for restoration to health. We
direct the attention of our readers to the
certificates of two well known citizens,
which appear in this issue: This is the
evidence Of men who speak from posi-
tive knowledge.

I love a maiden pure and fair,

None other can with her compare,
In lovelinesS to me.
Not only do her features CHARM
And form well please my eyes,
But also does she that possess
Which is a greater piize,
A gentle, trusting, loving heart,
That warm and true does beat,
Which never will its trust depart,
Whatever storms it meets.
I know that she will ever prove,
In sickness as in health,
What is possessed in her great love-
An endless mine of wealth.

THE GREAT SOUTHERN Piano MANI
rAcroRY.-We refer with special pleas
ure to the advertisement OF the Great
Southern Piano Mandatory Of Messrs.
VIM KxABE e Co. of Baltimore.
This factory is now one Of the
largest in the world; it is magnificent
five story structure, fronting an entire
block on Eutaw st, and covering, to-
cether with the Lumber Yards attached,
some two and one-half acres OF ground
Three hundred and fifty men are con-
stantly employed turning out over forty
instruments per week.
Among the thousand and one Pianos
offered to the public, we scarcely know
any instrument 50 fully uniting all the
desirable qualities sought for as the
Knabe Piano. 1t is matter Of some
difficulty and perplcxity to inexperi-
enced persons to select good instru-
ment of any capacity. We too often
rely upon the judgement OF friends in
the selection of 4 piano, anlare thus fire.
quently disappointed. The only sure
way, in om opinion is to go to the best
maker. For the reason, we recommend
to our readers TO purchase Pianos Of
VIM. knabe & Cos manufacture. This
will relieve them the veXatious necesSi-
ty of wasting time in long search.
The reputation of the Knabe Pianos is
an infallible guaranty OF excellence.
For durability we would specially re-
commend them, as being made in
Southern City, with special view to the
irving changes of a Southern climate.
