TO J. II. w.

Our friendship, and love was not formed,
AS some have been in boyhood's heat,
When feelings may be chilled or warmed
BY any specious counterfeit.
We met not until both had past
The inexperienced flush Of youth
And learnt, as well as all at last,
The worth Of confidence and truth.
For then, with brightness caught from
heaven,
An emblem true thou art,
OF loves enduring lustre given
To cheer lonely heart
Yet deeper, holier, more divine,
That emblem to the eye,
Could we but trace in it the sign
Of pardon from on high.
For then could not feel the force
OF loveliness like thine;
Nor couldst thou be in youth the source
OF thoughts which now are mine.
Bat now It's sweeter TO behold,
Upon lowering eve,
Thy wind swept blossom, meckly bold,
The suns last look receive.
| love thy beauty then to mark,
Thy lingering light to see,
When all is growing drear and dark,
Except the West, and thee.
4 FRIEND.

TIE WALL STREET Stock SrEcULA-
roRs.-One good result OF the recent
panic and disasters suffered by reckless
speculators in Wall street, is Il dimlnu-
ton in the number of stock gamblers.
The New York Times says;
:. The greater number of Wall street
habitues have been cleaned out. Spec
ulators who were worth hundreds OF
thousands of dollars few days ago. by
the terrible fall in stocks, and by the
locking up of their funds in broken ana
suspendcd institutions, are now lett
without money to settle their board bills;
One ouerator. who was worth 100000
before the panic, was trying to borrow
enough money the other day to settle
his BROOKLYN board bill, which had ac-
cumuated since the beginning OF the
financial disaster. lie said he was tired
of speculation and intended to go
West The Philadelphia Ledger says
there are many such similarly reduced
in that city and elsewhere. The conse,
quences of the crash in the brief period
already passed have been most serious
and widespread"
But the country will be benefitted
nevertheless, and Wall street will not
cut such high eapers in the future. If
all the thieves were dashed out OF that
temple of shavers with whip of scor-
pions, the whole country might rejoice
1t is cess pool of corruption.-Ay"cn-
burg Virginian.

TWICE MARRIED AND YET THEY ARE
Nor HArPY.-In Washington yestcr-
day Messrs. +. Miller and II. L. Is.
Jones filed for Marie Antoinette Starr q
bill against John w. Starr for separate
maintenance for the petitioner. She
sets forth that she married defendant IN
Chicago in October, 1869; that for varl-
Gus good and sufficient causes she sued
for and obtained decree of divorce in
the spring of 1871 from her husband at
Chicago, that subsequently her husband
again sought her society, courted her
and proposed re-marriage, to which she
finally consented, he promising to
amend his conduct and they were re-
united in marriage at Kansas City in
December, 1871, but totally regardless
of his marriage VOWS, he became abu-
sive to her and her child; frequently
assaulted and beat her; failed and retus
ed to provide for her, and on the expi-
ration of nine months from the second
marriage deserted her. She therefore
asks an injunction 10 prevent him from
disposing OF his property and that she
may have separate maintenance

SPRING.

The spring of life is just past
With its budding hopes and fears,
And the autumn life is coming
With its weight of weary years.
Our joyousnesS is faded,
Our hearts are dimmed with care,
And youths fresh dreams of gladness,
All perish darkly here.
While bliss was blooming near us
In the hearts first burst of spring,
While many hopes could cheer us
Life seemed glorious thing.
Like the foam upon river
When the breeze goes ripping DER,
These hopes have fled forever
To come to us no more.
'Tis sad yet sweet TO listen
To the soft winds gentle swell,
And think we hear the music.
Our childhood knew so well.
TO gaze out on the even
And boundless fields of air,
And feel again our childhoods wish,
To roam like angels there.
There are many dreams of gladncss
That cling around the past,
And from the tomb OF feeling
Old thoughts come thronging fast.
The forms we loved 50 dearly
Iu the happy days now gone,
The beautiful and lovely
SO fair to look upon.
Those bright and gentle maidcns
Who seemed so formed for bliss
Too glorious AMI too heavenly
For such world as this
Whose soft dark eyes seemed swimming
In sea of liquid light,
And whose locksof gold werestrcaming
O'cr brows so sunny bright.
Like the brightest buds of summer,
They have fallen from the stem;
Yet oh it is lovely death
To fade from earth like'thcm.
And yet the thought is saddenin9
To muse on such as they,
And feel that all the beautiful
Are passing fast away.

LETTER FROM LEETOWN.
October 18th, 1873.

As feeling of apathy seems to be
growing upon the temperance men of
this community, the Good Templars
have concluded to hold series of pub
lie meetings In the interest of Temper
ance, intending to have at least one
public meeting in each month, for the
purpose of aroasing the popular feeling
upon this great moral question, by keep
ing the subject agitated, and constantly
before the people. ,.
In accordance with this determina-
ton, the first Of the series OF meetings
was Aela in Nicelys Hall, on Friday
evening last The attendance was not
no large as we could have wished, but
this was owing to the fact that the notice
ofthe meeting was promulgated but
two OF three days in advance Of the
slime for holding it The exercises Were
opened by singing by the Leetown
Choir, followed by prayer by Rev. n.
L. Rodgers, after which the Choir sang
another piece, and then DIR. Thomas III.
Buck, of Leetown. rose and delivered
an eloquent aud logical address, full of
interesting thoughts, and replete with
startlin" facts for the consideration of
those who indulge in drinking, either
habitually or moderately.
The address was listened to with the
deepest attention, AMI we hope that
many will profit by what they heard
last Friday evening.
The weather is delightful, and it is
almost a pleasure to work out-ot-doors
in the balmy October sunshine, mellow
ed by the dreamy Indian summer haze
The tree arc beginning to exhibit their
autumn robes of as many hues as the
rainbow can show. Jack Frost has been
rather tardy in his approaches this Fall,
but suppose that he will make up for
lost time, by using more severe mea-
sures when he does get to work fairly,
and then vegetation will suffer. | feel

APA1xruL REroKr-We copy the
paragraph below from the Richmond
Dispatch-which clipped it from the
Salem Register If it be true, as we
earnestly hope it is not, one of the great
est pulpit orators of his day has fallen
so low that none are left to do him rev.
erence
Rev. DR.. VIM. f. Munsey, the great
pulpit orator of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South, has, we learn from q
gentleman just from Greenville, Tenn,
become a perfect wreck. Our informant
states that he is constantly seen on the
streets drunk, and his associates are OF
the lowest character He is intensely
profane, poorly clad, and is without
friends or money.
Rev. DIR. MuSsEY.-A few days ago
mention was made on the authority OF a
Salem (Va) paper that this once gifted
divine had become perfect wreck.
The Lexington (Va.) Gazette attributes
his prostration to overwork in serving
his church in Baltimore, paralysis from
that cause having deadened one side
and deranged his mind. The Lynch
burg Virginian says: "With respect
to Mr.. Munsey it is well known that tor
wears past he has been in feeble health.
lie was advised by physicians, it is said,
to use stmulants to support sinking
frame. He did so, and the rest Is
known" 1t is stated thot $500 were
raised in Baltimore on Saturday for his
family, and sent to Mrs. Munsey, at
Greenville, Tenn.
