A FAILURE,-CoI Moore, a veteran
politician of the Old Dominion, enjoyed
great personal popularity on account OF his
afability of manner, and, of course, could
always carry big vote whenever he was
up for office. He generally spoke to every
body he met, and usually succeeded in
convincing them that he knew them well.
Il met his match one morning, however,
when on meeting a countryman, he shook
hands heartily with him, and commenced +:

MEMoRY,s HALL.

Oh e strange old castle is Memory's Hall,
With its towers and turrets sublime
For its portals are guarded by spectres tall
The spectres of years. that come at the call
or echoes that live in that cline.
It stands in the country f " Long Ago.
BY the side Of the river Time,
Whose waters surge on with an endless how,
And sing song as they gently 60,
A soil as the yesPer chime.
To the door Of he Castle we often go,
For we've buried our treasures there;
There brows % beauty aud hands Of snow,
And forms we have clasped long years ago,
And tresses of raven hair
Smiles that have faded and joys now dead,
And faces we once thought fair,
And wreaths that eneircled some loved ones head
Words OF tenderness once she said,
And robes she used to wear.
Echoes of voices that used to call,
Fall on the tremulous air;
And pictures dim on its sOmbre wall,
Scenes from the shadowy past recall,
While we stand enchanted there.
The present departs and the past returns,
Asw tread Ger its dusty floor;
And the heart, overlowing with sadness, burns,
And the soul within us with wildness yearns
For the things we loved OF yore.

A WOMAN says what she chooses with
out being abused for it. She can take a
nap after dinner while her husband goes to
work She can 90 into the street without
being asked tc stand treat at every busiu-
ess saloon. She can stay at home in time
of war, and get married again if her hus-
band gets killed She can wear corsets if
too thick and other iS ings if too thin She
can get divorce from her husband, if she
sees one she likes better. She can get her
husband in debt all over, until he warns
the public not to trust her on his account.
But all these advantages are balanced by
the great facts that she cannot sing bass,
wear beard, go sparkling, or climb tree.
