No palm il cleaner now than this,
So free from earth stain has 1t grown
Since last YOU held it clasped so close,
And with it held my life and heart,
For my heart beat but in your smile,
And life was death we two apart.

] have no word or thought of blame;
And even now my voice grows low
And tender, whispering your name.
You gagged my love by yours; that's all.
/ do not think you understood;
There j. point you men can't reach
Up the white heights of womanhood.
You love ts-so at least you say,
With many a tender smile and word;
You kiss Us close on mouth and brow,
Till ALI our heart within Is stirred;
And having unlike you, you see,
No other interests at stake,
We give our best, and count that death
Is blessed when suffered for your sake.

Here is a row of ordinary capital letters
and figures;
SSSSSSSSSXXXXXXXXX333388888
They are such as are made up of two
parts of equal shapes. Look carefully at
these, and you will perceive that the up
per halves of the characters are a very
little smaller than the lower halves-so
little that an ordinary eye will declare
them to be of equal size.
Now turn the page upside down, and,
without any careful locking, you will see
that this difference in size is very much
exaggerated; that the real top half of the
letter is very much smaller than the bot
tom half. 1t will be seen from this that
there is a tendency in the eye to enlarge
the upper part of any object upon which
it looks. II Exchange.

The Troy Press says that the site Of
the State Street NJ. E. church, in that
city, was selected through the instrument
ality of dream. DIR. John Louden, a
prominent physician, who died upward of
fifty years ago, was leading member
and worker of the Methodist denomina-
ton, and about the time it was proposed
to erect an edifce in the vicinity of State
street, the good doctor dreamed that he
saw flock of white doves alight on the
lots at the corner of State and Fifth
streets. The impression of the vision
was so vivid that the doctor could not
shake it off. He insisted that it was a
good omen, and that the church should
be erected on the lots above named.
30 strenuous was he in this that he carri-
ed his point, and the old State street
sanctuary was erected, to give way in due
tune to the beautiful edifce now located
on the site of the old brick structure.

A Strange story.

A reporter of the Savannah Advertis-
er had been interviewing person, who if
his story be true, has been deeply wrong
ed The following is the Savannah pa
per's account: The mans name Is Rich
ard Cue, and he is stated to have been a
prominent sculptor of New Orleans. He
told the reporter that I'm April of the
year 1870 he was present at meeting in
New Orleans, called for the purpose of
awarding the contract for carving mar
bic figure ofGeneral Pat Cleburne. The
contract was aw lrded to him, his bid be-
ing $4,000. He left New Orleans tor
Baltimore or New York, in order TO pur-
chse a piece of MAJ bic suitable for the
purpose. On his arrival at Summer
vile, South Carolina, he stopped for the
purpose of delivering letter from his
wife to her mother, residing in that town;
consequently he was compelled to lay
over until the next day. While waiting
at the depot lady called upon him and
informed him that young girl had been
found with evident marks upon her of the
most outrageous violence. A rope or
something else had been put around her
neck, and she had evidently been choked
distance out OF her mouth The lady
who called upon Mr.. Cue did so for the
purpose of securing his assistance in dis
covering the williams In company with
four others he went in search of them, and
fortunately they succeeded that very
night IN finding two. negroes who, when
captured, confessed the crime, and by
daylight they were hung upon the branch
OF tree. 1t was not long before Mr..
Cue and three others were in the clutches |
of the United States officers, and although |
he offered any bond they might require, |
he was laughed at, sent to Columbia, and |
tried before jury composed of six ne
groes and six carpet-baggers. He was
found guilty, and sentenced to fourteen |
years imprisonment and to pay fine of |
81, 500. Soon after he was sent to the /
penit tertiary in Albany. His wife, in
New Orleans, sold all his property for
the purpose of raising money to pay his |
fine, which was done some thirteen months t
ago, and then removed with what little
with her six children to Balti-
more, where she has ever since been en-
gagged i'll teaching music, French and
drawing. Through the influence of |
friends. chief among whom was General
Harry [. Hays, he received his pardon on
or about the 9th of July last Since
hen he has been in Memphis, nursing the
'ick. He has letters in his possession
rom prominent persons in Memphis, and
llso one from Mr., Semmes, of Alabama.
Mr.. Cue had several friends and acquain-
ances in Savannah, who exerted them
selves in his behalf, and he was thereby
enabled to leave on the Charleston train,
IN his way to his family in Baltimore.

From the n. Y. Herald.l

From the n. Y. Herald.l
1t is a matter of no common occur
renee for man IN the full flush ofhealth
to be called to take an eternal farewell OF
all that his heart holds dearest. When
this demand is made and the circumstan-
ces are such that the worlds attention is
Edirected to it, that world is apt to listen
respectfully to the words and watch the
iconduct of the man, and feel for the mo-
ment the emptiness of life compared with
| the beauty of heroic death. Such a
| spectacle as this was presented on the
evening Of November 9th. The scene
Nwas the Bay of Cuba, over which the
moon peacefully shone. The locality was
the Spanish man-of-war La Tornado.
The man was Capt. Fry. and the trans
action was letter which Capt Joseph
Fry was writing to his wife. There are
very few personages in this little tragedy
"a man about to die, and his wife hun
dreds Of miles away, unconscious of his
fate. The scene is one of those paradox
es which Providence brings about, con-
trasting the beauty and peacefulness of
nature with the distortion and agony of
man. The letter has since been publish
ed, and very touching it is. 1t will bere-
published wherever the English Ian
guage is understood, for it strikes one of
the tenderest chords in the harp ofhome
affection. 1t Is full Of that poetry which
sometimes comes to the most common
place man or woman in the sudden pros
pect of death. 1t is the purest breathing
of conjugal and parental affection, at
moment when all the dross subsidies from
earthly passion and the heart is left clean
and pure upon the brink of the grave.
At that sad hour, with all that is grand
and sweet in life fading away, aud the
amazement Of the tomb confronting him,
Capt. Fry compressed his thoughts with
a simple eloquence that is not always at
tanned by Practiced writer, even under
the inspiration of sympathetic theme.
He AYERS that the anguish of his wife is
his sole regret in dying, mentions with a
pect and attachment he has received, even
from the president of the court martial
expresses the satisfaction of a gentleman
in having been recognized as one, com
mends himself to the children whom he /
is forever leaving, adjures his wife to
turn for consolation to Him alone who |
permits this fearful agony, bids her not |
dread death, for that when it comes ii |
will come as an angel of rest, and an
nounces, with the dignity of a man whose
face is damp with the breeze from the I'M
known world, that he dies in the religion
Of his childhood. Wherever the story Of
the Virginius outrage shall go the story of
this letter will go too. 1t is letter that
many an eye will weep to read, and that
any man at such an extremity might en-
Wy the power of being able to write

ROMANTIC HONEYMOON TRIP.
a Wedding Party Floating Down
The EEi~sI~aippl In a Barge.
From the st. Louis Democrat.

run lIC Dl. LOUIS iJtUlOCTAL.I
Mr.. Newbury, of Davenport, Iowa, is
practical man, under which guise he
won the heart of Miss. Zamie Severance,
a brilliant lady and deservedly popular
school-teacher, and about five weeks ago
they were made man and wife. 1t had
been the custom Of Mr.. Newbury to take
an annual barge trip 10 New Orleans, and
no conceived the novel and romantic idea
of making wedding tour in the same
way.
The subject was preached to his friends
and those Of the bride, and as it met with
much favor on all sides he decided to
carry the plan out. A barge was accor-
dinghy fitted up in sumptuous style, and
everything made in ship-shape order for
the reception Of the newly married coup
lie. In al lition the luxuries Of life car
90 Of onions and potatoes were slowed
away in the hold to be disposed Of on ar
irving at New Orleans. In this manner
was profit combined with pleasure, and
common sense with romance. In addi-
ton to Mr.. and Mrs. Newbury the craft
carried fourteen passengers; three Of
whom were ladies. Mr.. Hall, an expe-
rienced Mississippi navigator, piloted the
barge, and comanded a crew of fonr
men, all told. The balance Of the party
was composed Of ambitious followers of
Nimrod; who had pledged themselves to
keep the cuisine well supplied with wild
game. Immediately after the wedding
cermony had been performed, the bridal
party and their retaiuers were escorted to
the barge, which was pushed out into the
stream, and slowly foated past the city on
its way to the Gulf The only steam on
board was that which issued from the
mouth of the tea-kettle, and hence dreams
of boiler explosions did not haunt the
slumber of the vOyageurs After a high
ly enjoyable trip Of four weeks Duration
the barge, with its novel cargo Of onions
and bride, reached St. Louis on Saturday
night. AS the journey was only contin-
ued by daylight, the length Of time con
sumed was longer than anticipated, but
it passed only too quickly for the happy
passengers. When game was sighted a
landing was effected, and the hunters Of
the party were given a chance to amuse
themselves.
The animated foaters spent three or
four days in the city, calling on their
friends and visiting places Of amusement
On Wednesday they continued their voy.
age, and expect to reach New Orleans in
about two months. They propose to re-
main in Cairo a week and also a week in
Memphis. The vessels log will be an
interesting document to peruse when the
trip is completed, and Mr.. and Mrs. New
bury will doubtless carry it back to Dav-
export with them on their return next
spring. Taking all circumstances into
consideration this wedding tour can safe
ly be classed as the most practically ro-
mantle one on record

a Bishops Objection to the Tenn
pcrance Pledge.

The Bishop of Lincoln has actually
preached a sermon in his cathedral
against the temperance pledge. He de-
nounced it as unscriptural. He said that
it undermined the godhead of Christ, =
which at least is rather curious figure
Then suppose, said the Bishop, that Tim
othy had been pledged man when advis-
ed by St. Paul TO use little wine for his
stomach's sake, would he not have injur-
ed his health and inflicted a damage on
the cause of truth by refusing to follow
the apostolic advice? Moreover, accord
ing to the Bishop, the pledge ''leads to ly-
ing" and q it is deadly sin for chris
tians to sign it." The Bishops sermon,
naturally enough, was quoted with the
warmest appreciation at the licensed Vic
tualers' Dinner in the Crystal Palace
