penitentiary labor az from the old barrel bust

backyards and barn yards and slough holes,

had known grocers put arsenic and strychnine
in Old meal barrels for rats and then sell those
barrels back t. the mills when they are refill

Sad and Touching Incident.

In describing the food which was SO
disastrous to many sections of Virgin

following sad and touching incident:

neck of land, which lies between the
river and the canal. They had reach
cd the banks of the canal when they
we're amazed to find that the bridge was
gone; and their only hope was 10 cling
on to the abutment of the bridge un.
til the angry waves should sudsidc.
But as they stood there clinging to the
abutment, the waters continued to rise
higher and higher, while in the deep
darkness they could hear the crash
ing of trees amid the thunders of
bridge timbers that were wildly dash.

this desperate condition for some time
when the little girlfelttha her strength
was gone, and with wild shrek of
terror, she exclaimed, Kiss me moth

with the warm pressure of that moth
er's lips upon her cheek, she was swept
away and was seen no more.

cndcrness of sentiment, and beauty ant

Follow her with tender eyes,

Cannot choose but thini; of me.
Watch her kindly, stars.
Soothe her swcctly, night,

The tired lids with light caress,
Let that shadowy hand of thine
Ever In her dreams seem mino,
Soothe her swoetly, night.
Wake her gently, morn,
Let the notes of early birds
Seem like Loves nclodious words,
Every pleasant sound my dear
When she stirs from slcop she uld hear
Wake her gently, morn.

Sofly that she may not miss
Any sweet accustomed bliss
On her lips. her face,

There are many duties and taxes tha,
press more heavily upon the people

ought to be removed. As tea and coffee
are foreign productions entirely, there
was no protectionist opposition
to abolishing the duty. Indeed
the protectionists favored the bill
because a reduction in the reve.
nuc from these articles would give
them an argument for maintain
ing high duties on others in order tc
raise sufficient income for the govern.

of these duties may be, Congress mus

the question whether a mans soul ac.

at any other time before death, but cy-
ldence to solve this mysterious question
is rare. There is a story told in Louis

city, who, while travelling on sleep
ing.c in Mississippi, had vivid OK.
perioncc as of visiting his home and
seeing his wife and children asleep
and noticing that the eight day family
clock had run down he wound it up
and set it going. He then returned
to his berth, which was rafting along
at the rate of forty miles an hour in a

tinctly, and resumed his place within a
well fitting encasement. On writing
to his wife about it, he learned tha,
the clock had been nysteriously wound
