LIFE.
BY EDGAR A. roS.

10! tis gala night
within the lonesome latter years
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
In walls, and drowned In teas,
Sit in theater to see
play Of hopes and fears,
while the orchestra brcathes ntfully
The music of the spheres.
Mines, in the form Of God on high,
Mutter and humble low,
And hither and thither hy;
Mere puppets they, who come and GO
A, bidding Of vast formless things
That shift the scenery TO and fro,
Flapping from out their condor wings
Invisible woe
That motley drama oh, be sure
IT shall not be forgot!
With its phantom chased for evermore
BY crowd that sieze II not,
Through circle that ever rcturneth in
TO the self same spot;
And much of madness and more OF sin
And horror the soul of the plot
But zee, amid the mimic rout
A crawling shape intrude
blood-red thing that writhes from out
The scenic solitude! ..r
II writhes It writhes--with mortal panga
The mines become its food.
And the seraphs sob at yermin fangs
In human gore imbued.
Out--out are the lights---out all
And over each autyering form
The curtain, funeral pail, ..4
Comes down with the rush Of storm,
And the angels, all pallid and wan,
Uprising, unveiling, affirm
That the play is the tragedy Man,"
And its hero the conqueror Worm.

footsteps are heard no more. The bright eyes
which ever beamed with love and tenderness, are
closed. The little chair is vacant; and home is
sad and desolate.
Where is our darling one? Shall we never
again behold him? He cannot return to us, but
we may go to him. He has passed over the riv-
er, ''where the surges cease to roll" He is
bright angel in the SAVIOR bosom, forever free
from sickness, pain and death. He is gone to
the Beautiful Zon,' the Heavenly Jurusalem
where il is one eternal day.
Jesus said Suffer little children to come unto
me- and has he not taken this little lamb to

In that Happy Land we shall see our darling
one again.

Torn on earth from eur embrace;

BEWARE OF CoUNrERFEITs WE DOM specially
allude to Coun terfeit Greenbacks though there
are a number of them in circulation, but we
particularly allude to smoking tobacco manu-
featured by that famous maker of the Lone Jack
and Brown Dick, John W. Carroll Esq. of
Lynehburg
Mr.. Carroll had his brands patented in 1866
and, yet, from their merited popularity. not on
ly his brands have been initiated, under the
names of Glove" Jack, "Long" Jack nc but
even the medal, awarded him at the Paris expo
sition, has been SO well counterfeited as to de-
ceive the purchaser into the belief that he was
getting the genuine 'Lone Jack" to his great
chagrin when he comes to smoke the article, for
none of them can counterfeit the "Lone Jack To-
bacco.'
We call attention 10 the above facts, and that
Mr.. Carroll proposes 10 prosecute all who offer
counterfeits of his brands for SALE and that they
had better empty the packages and call the to-
bacco by some other name.
In addition to the clone jack and "Brown
Dick he has patented new Brand, which he
calls ''Our Fritz" which is said to be, like his
other brands, ne article. We believe this, as
we know that John W Carroll takes great pride
ia his business and will offer nothing to the pub
lie but what he knows to be good.
We wish him continued prosperity, and make
mention of the above, not only for the benefit of
the proprietor of the famous "Lone Jack To-
pacco " OF ks,'' but as caution to our dealers,
and warning to smokers, lest they be deceived
in buying what they suppose is the genuine arti-
Gle.
Look we'll to the wrappers and don't be de-
ceived into purchasing Bogus article.
