HER RING.

Written for the Sunday Appeal
1t IS here upon my finger
Her little golden ring,
And dreams most pleasing linger
Around the cherished thing.
I'm dreaming ofller lily hand

OF her transcendent beauty, and
Her witehing loneliness.
I am dreaming Of the splendor,
OF the whiteness of her soul;
OF her heart so kind and tender,
% her virtues strong control.
I'm dreaming Of the sunny light
That sparkles in her eye;
Her soft, sweet blush, her young delight
And her bright purity.
! am dreaming OF the meaning
Ot her saucy, up turned lip,
or her rosy mouths sweet nectar.
Thatthe gods would love to sip.
I'm dreaming of her fairy form,
Her voices dulcet strain;
I'm dreaming, till her beauties swarm
Like magic through my brain.
Oh how well l see thai pouting,
Hear those notes of softest tone;
I'm dreaming, till I'm doubling
That Pm tome. alone.

That wOman's holy influence blends
With evenings pensive hour.

An Alabama alligator very gracefully
masticated a valuable stag hound be-
longing to a gentleman in Eutaw, the

lost one dog in the same manner, he de-
termined to bring to punishment the fell

with hog liver. But the amusing crea-
ture gulped down the hog liver, hooks
and all, broke the line and ~Ieisurely
