STRANDED.

| often meet him in my walk,
His cOuntenance is sad;
A mOurnful tremOr hath his talk,
And poorly is he clad.
He seemeth to have lost his way
And have no settled plan;
Upon life's currents gone astray-
A wrecked, deserted man.
Time was when he had home and friends
nd-knew not want nor care;
Now, poverty each step attends,
And haunts him everywhere;
That home his creditors have sold;
He feels the social ban;
Broken, and prematurely old
A disappointed man.
or honor he did nothing lose,
Loves laws he did obey;
Why should old friends 50 often choose
To look another way?
For him no secret spOils remained,
Upon the modern plan;
His head might err, his heart unstained-
An Unsuccessf ulman.
And still he seeks the crowded mart,
From force of habit strong,
And carries round heavy heart
That will not beat for long.
With wistful look, he oft doth try
Some friendly face to scan;
But recognition all deny
This melancholy man.
And whence he comes and where he goes
The world takes little heed;
Credit, that with his fortunes rose,
Has sunk in time of need
Will not benevOlence provide
Some "Refuge Harbor" plan,
And bring in, on favOring tide,
The stranded merchant man?

4 Scheme Waiting it's
Time.

The scheme announced by the
Governor of Virginia last winter,
of having the Federal Government
assumes the debts of Southern
States was by no means the crazy
notion of a stupid official. On
the contrary it is certain to take
shape and be pressed upon the
next Congress. These bonds were
largely used in the purchase OF
Washington officials. Immense
sums are in the hands of radical
politicians, and more were hy-
pothicated to favorites on mere
nominal advan :es. The aggregate
amounts about $200,000,000, of
which the States issuing, received
almost nothing. Here, then, is a
vast monied interest created to
rob the national treasury by load,
ing these debts on to the people of
the whole Union. Forney of the
Philadelphia Press, takes open
ground in favor of the swindle.-
While acting as Secretary of the
Senate he managed to pick up
some $4,000, 900, and no doubt is
well supplied with this class of
bonds. In advocating the assump-
ton, he simply speaks the voice
of confederates, and will be backed
by the great mass OF party organs.
We predict, indeed, that this
measure will soon become promi-
nent, and the crime be perpetra-
ted, if sufficient Congressman can
be brought to pass the bill. Nor
in that event, need any one anfici-
pate a veto. 1t will be found
when the time comes, that the
managers own all branches of the
government.

A Murderer in Chains.

The WiIliamsport PENN Ga.
zette says that the handouts have
been removed from Wade, the
murderer of the McBrides. he hav-
ing broken the pair put upon his
wrists. and that he is DOW bound
/ by an iron collar and chain. 1t
says: The iron collar goes around
the neck and fastens with lock,
and the chain, seven feet In
length, extends from the collar to
a ring in the floor, giving the
prisoner the privilege of his cell.
Yesterday visitor to the Jail, in
passing along from cell to cell, was
startled by maD leaping from
his bed. 1t was Wade, and rs he
struck upon his feet he seized the
chain, dashed it upon the floor,
and gave yell that made the stu
alton rather an unpleasant one for
a person looking upon the criminal
for the first time. In conversa-
ton, Wade said he had gold e.
nough to make a longer and heav-
ier chain than the one he was
dragging around. He is rather
severe upon the Sheriff for thus
ironing him, and he thinks that
he would be given more liberty if
ne was a fi,st.class Republican;
but he says he isn't-McClellau
Is his man every time. Yet he
prefers the collar and chain to
handcuffs--tbe latter being too
tiresome. He has lined the In
side of his iron collar with cloth;
the iron being rough it hurt his
neck. While our informant was
cOnversing with Wade, the latter
pulled from his pocket roll of
bills, and boastingly stated that
they had searched him for money,
but could find none, yet he had
plenty and knew where to keep it.
He had cigars and other luxuries
in his cell, and invited the visiting
party to partake Of the hospitali-
ty of his dungeon. When asked
how be passed his nights, Wade
replied, Jolly; last night l had
McBride's ghost in here, and !
made it lively for the apparition."

directing the State Treasurer To-
return the four thousand and odI
dollars of the salary grab turned
over to him by the Hon. Justin s.
Morrill,. We believe that will be-
done. If the sum is accepted and
placed with the funds of the State,
every citizen is made n sharer in
the coolest and most audacious
theft of the age. Senator Morrill,
is a man of too clean conscience
to take the benefit of the plunder
to himself, and we have no doubt
he will find his constituents at
least as honest, and that they will
refuse to take what they can get

A New Dodge of Railroad Trunk
Thieves.


Thieves.
From the Hartford Courant.1
Smashing trunks is not the on.
ly pastime of depot attendants,
nor is smashing the only ilI-fate to
which the Saratoga is liable
There is another way Of making
the traveller miserable. Probably
it is not necessary to say that a
hack-driver has been arrested for
it, and it is therefore a shrewd
trick. The person in the game
fakes a short trip and takes his
trunk with him. 1t is we'll
known that trunks have no legs,
and cannot run away; so trusting
in this fact the baggage masters
in the smaller places are very apt
to leave the trunks all IN q heap
until the cars arrive.
This is the opportunity that the
designing traveller has in view
He steps up to see if his trunk is
all right. In looking it over he
takes its check off and puts it on
the best looking trunk in the lot,
and puts that trunks check up
on his piece OF baggage. Then
he wanders away satisfied. On
reaching his destination he takes
the trunk to which his check en-
titles him and drives off with it.
There are, of course, all sorts of
chances in the matter, but the
experiment always pays, since the
piec disposed of is only ballasted
and utterly valueless. The great
difficulty, now that the game is
exposed, is how to put a check to
it. People who have any thing
valuable in this world, and who
take it about in trunks, car read
this and have something to worry
over whenever they make trip
on the cars.

From this the statement is made
that the farmers will make more
by selling unshelled corn in the

following summer at one dollar a

the same wheat in June following.

they were tried were all colorcd.
After the case was tried they
all retired and made up a vcr-

which the foreman delivered as
follows:
"Dis jury find dat one of de
