The Ruin.

The old house stands where the hilltop trees
Bend to the breath Of the upland breeze,
Stands in its solitude alone
An olden castle of un-hewn stone,
But crumbling,
Falling,
This once stronghold,
Burial pile of memories old.
Stands in its slence-sad, forlorn,
Its walls o'ergrown with the brery thorn,
Wondering brush and rank weed tall.
Choking up portal, path and hall.
Thus checking,
Fretting
The stranger who
Would boldly wander the old pile through.
Night owls build in the turret grey.
Fox and wolf through the great hall play,
or from the thickly tangled grass
Start as the wandering footsteps pass,
All swapping,
Lonely, bold,
Modern lords Of the castle old.
The daylight peers with a curious eye
Through the broken panes Of the windows high,
And the ever cheerful sunbeams glare
Der ancient mirror and antique chair,
And glimmering,
shimmering,
Mournful cast
gloomy smile o'er the mildewed past.
The Summer rains find easy pass
Through the crumbling roof and the broken
glass,
And the Winter winds with relish keen
Whistle mongst rafter, brick and beam,
And gaily,
Madly,
Wild carouse,
Through the halls OF the old deserted house.
| d not wander there when the dewy eve
Gave to the day Il glad rcprieye,
! a fear 10 see through the twilight air
Some olden knight or his ladye faire,'
Some ghOstly,
Chastity
Quaking sight
OF elin dwarf, or goblin sprite.

VINO WANTS TO Buy "A Detroit man
wants to sell Il patent pistol cane or a
promising Newfeundlandpup hedoes MT
care which. He went home the other
night and set in his cane, heavily charged,
behind the door, and started in for a
romp with his three bright little ones.
They got along well enough until the
pup spied the cane, and, going for it,
started upon promiscuous run around
the chairs and table-legs with it between
his teeth The doting father remember
ed the effect of slight pressure upon
the spring, and with rare presence of
mind succeeded in throwing the children
down the cellar stairs and placing himself
on the top of the sideboard before the
thing went off. The ball only broke a
hundred-dolar mirror, and the pup only
got few scratches in jumping through
a plate-glass window The doctor says
the children will all recover. No insur-
anee.

The New York Evening Post says /:
We have not much faith in Legislation
on the side of virtue There is, it seems
to us, quite sufficient reason for thank
fulness il legislatures and legislators will
only not do any harm. 1T would be ask
ing altogether too much of them that
they only do good. II they will only
cease to do evil they may be easily par
donel for letting virtue alone.
Sumptuary laws were ever, and ever
will be, failure. They are the effusions
of demagogues, and lie, dead letters in
the books, exciting only the disgust of
reasoning men. The last and worst leg
islature in California enacted more laws
advertising the virtuous bent of the au-
thors than did any of its predecessors.
The record is bundle of inanition.
Speaking of reason for thanldulness
reminds us of the argum ent offered by a
philosophic California politician, some
years ago, against change from annual
to biennial sessions of the Legislature /:
Said he, No sir-it is wrong and will
be damage to the public interest-we
ought to continue the annual sessions
for no California Legislature can be ex-
pected to enact laws fit to live under
more than twelve months !

A field of about fifteen acres near
Moorfeld, Kentucky, has recently been
bones and skulls, indicating an. extinct
race of men Of about the size of the Car
diff Giant. From the way the remains
lie about the imaginative conclude that
it is a battlefield. 1t may have been the
scene of the conflict between the off
spring of Deucalion and Pyrrha. Per-
haps the new world is the old one.

Plantation BitterS.
S. T.-l860-X.

This wonderful vegetable re-
storative is the sheet-anchor of
the feeble and debilitated. As
a tonic and cordial for the aged
and languid it has no equal
among stomachics. As a rem
edy for the nervous weakness
to which women are especially
subject, it is superseding every
other stimulant. In all eli
mates, tropical, temperate or
frigid, it acts as a specific in
every species of disorder which
undermines the bodily strength
and breaks down the animal
spirits.
