TO ONE BELOVED,

My darling, if beneath the sea,
With all its waves above my head,
lay, and thou shouldst speak to me,
think that should quit the dead
And come TO thee.
Could my lonely spirit, lost in space,
Hear one fond sigh thy soul had given,
I'd fly to earth for thy embrace.
Nor grieve for relinquished heaven.
Hold but thy hand, thy loving hand,
To me, across the dark abyss;
And let me see the waiting stand,
And back should l return to this,
From even the better land
Give me the beatings Of thy heart,
Give me the kisses Of thy lips;
And let ife's common joys depart,
-. The sun 60 down in dark eclipse.
My dearest. earth, nor cruel sea,
Nor even the boundless realms of space,
Could separate my soul from thee,
Or win me from my loves embrace
Didst thou but wish for me.

peared from the residence of that lady, and
for long time all efforts to discover her

search. He came westward, and OF
reaching this city fell in with Cleveland
man, who toe him remarkable story Of a
young lady who had been found on the
stoop of his residence in sort Of trance,
who had been sheltered, and who displayed
number of accomplishments though i'll
out of her mind. The description was suf-
fcient clue, and the girls uncle proceeded
to Clevel md, where he found his long lost
niece in the condition stated. She was suf-
fering from alteration of the mind On
being removed to her residence in Albany,
a terrible fever set in aud che has not yet

A ADANBURY FUNERAL.

The day Mr.. Ruby, across the way, was
to be buried, Mrs. Moriaty told her daugh-
ter Clarinda that she guessed she would at
tend, as she wasn't feeling very well and a
ride would do her good. She knew there
would be several covered carriages furnished
at the expense Of the family, and she was
equally confident that it could be so man.
aged that she would occupy portion Of one
Of them. She was among the first at the
house, and occupied prominent position.
As the other friends arrived 81 e took oc-
casion to recall "reminiscences of the late
Ruby that brought tears to their eyes, and
when the services were over, as the first
carriage drew up for its load, the distress Of
Mrs. Moriaty at the death of Mr.. Ruby
was so marked as to excite the livelest
sympathy Then the second coach came
up. Mrs. Moriaty had got down to the
gate by this time, and as the door Of the
second coach was opened, and call made
for the occupants, it seemed extremely
doubtful if she could hold up for another in
stant. She leaned against the post, and
stared in the coach and over its upholsfering
and said the late Ruby seemed more like
son to her than a neighbor. Whereupon
the usher looked appropriately sad, and
called up the third and last coach. This
h1d yellow cushions and pink straps, and
Moriaty didn't hesitate to protest in the
death of Mr.. Ruby the community had met
loss it was not possible to recover from,
and that she would follow him to his last
resting-place if she had to do it on her
knees, and would feel grateful for the op-
portunity.
Then the third and last coach filled and
drove off to take its place in the line, and
Mrs. Moriaty dried her tears, choked back
the sorrow of her heart with one mighty
eulp, and stole into her house, shutting the
door without the aid of the knob. She
told Clarinda that it was the scaliest affair
she ever went to, and had it not been for
the body, there would have been no funeral

that had something almost iendish in it.,
when contrasted with the extreme agitation
of the one and the mental agony of the
other.
AT last the old man stopped in front of
him, and, with a calmneas 80 suddenly
assumed in the midst Of bis paryoxism Of
remorse that it soon overawed the criminal,
said, "You are one whose life has been a
tissue Of falsehood and crime. You must
prove what you have said, or III not be-
lieve it,"
"Be it so,' replied the prisoner. IL saw
the whole transaction, and heard all your
testimony at the trial, for was there, too.
Ill now tell you what occurred at the spot
Of the murder which you did not mention,
but which l saw. When you rode up, the
the man with YOU jumped off his horse and
seized Blake by the collar, your hat fell of
on the pommel Of the saddle, but you caught
it before it reached the ground. You then
sprang off your horse, and while Walton
held Blake, you examined the body. You
attempted to pull the knife from the breast,
but it was covered with blood and slipped
through your fingers. You rubbed your
hands on the ground, and going to a bush
on the roadside, broke off some leaves and
wiped your hands upon them and after
wards the handle of the ife.
"You then drew it out and washed it in a
small puddle of water at the foot of the su-
mach bush. AS you did SO you looked at
Blake, who was standing With his arms
folded and who said. Don't be uneasy
about me, Caleb, l didn't kill Wickliffe,
and don't intend to escape At one time
you waie within six feet of where | was.
It's lucky you did not find me, for was
ready at that moment to send you to keep
company with Wicklfe; but l saw all,
even when you stumbled and dropped your
gloves as you mounted your horse"
"Cod have mercy upon me" calculated
Grayson. "Tbis is all true. But one
word more. heard Wickliffe, as we rode
up, shrek out, Mercy, mercy, Harry!'
"He was begging for his life-my first
name is Harry"
The old man casped his hands across his
face and fell senseless to the floor.
1t is needless to 60 into the details Of the
prise fncrs confession, which was so full and
clear that it left no doubt on the mind of the
Judge that he was Wicklffe's murderer,
and that Harry Blake was another of those
who had gone TO swell the list OF victims Of
circumstantial evidence.

MEADOW LAKE.-A gentleman who vis.
tied this once famous but now almost de-
serted mining camp, a few days since, in-
forms the Transcript that there now in that
whole region just ten persons. Two per-
Sons, man and his wife, constituted tho
whole population of the town of Meadow
Lake last Winter. They had for their
dwelling house the choice Of half dozen
large hotels, eight or ten boarding or lodg-
ing houses, and large number of hand
some private residences, many of the latter
ready furnished. The reason of the great
influx of population this Summer is that
work has been resumed on the Mohawk
and Montreal mine. 1t is said that Meadow
Lake is at this season one of the most
delightful places in the mountains, all about
the town being fresh and green and the
weather is as fine as though made to order.
But with all its Summer beauties and de-
lights, few old Meadow I.akers would care
much to revisit the place where they saw

forty years old, and woman seemingly
seventy years of age, were at the Detroit

the train, when the man stroled out on the
dock and caught sight Of some of the city
life preservers hanging to its hook. He
asked what it was and laLorer told him,
and he asked: Glow long will it perserve
a feer's life?" The man told him hun
dred years, and the information staggered
the stranger. Walking around a few
minutes as # facilitating, he stepped to his
informant and said: "See here, stranger,
I'll take one O them perservers, and if it
wouldn't be askin' too much Of you, I'd like
to have you tell the old woman in there
that you havnt another one for sale, snd

TERRIBLE PUNIsHMLNr.--Two Indians,
of the Peavine tribe of the Rootdggers,
recently abducted a young Indian girl of the
Indian Valley tribe, and SO outraged her
that she soon after died. Tha Plumas Ma
tional says that on Sunday last near Cres-
cent, at crossing Of Indian Creek, party
of avengers seized the two abductors and
proceeded to the bloody work of execution.
AS related by two white witnesses "a boy
and LADY,, prisoner number one was
lashed firmly to a sycamore tree and cut in
twain at the waist with a dull hand saw.
The fragments of his carcass were buried in

She summoned the hired man and told him

stationed him at convenient distance.
Then she climbed half way up stairs and
commenced to punch the -four barrel vigor-

made its appearance and started across the

The Belfast Journal speaking of the
Farmers Convention in the West, says the
denunciation of the tariff steal is peculiarly
appropriate as coming from farmers. 1t
ADDS:
"Of little over twelve millions of work.
ers Of the country, six millions are agricult-
urists. 1t is a notorious fact that for what
these six millions produce in the way of
staples they receive no more than they did
dozen years ago, while for all they buy
they have to pay fifty per cent. additional
1t is not all in transportation. for the in
creased cost of which the tariff is primarily
and in larger part responsible. 1t is because
monopoly legislation has during this inter
val laid taxes, called customs, on woolen
cloth, blankets, cotton cloth, iron, steel,
carpets, ard other textile fabrics, to the ex-
tent of from forty to fifty per cent. advance,
and has prohibited the sale of similar for
eign goods except by the payment Of the
same heavy tax. This kind of legislation
has been styled protection, but the farmers
Of the West know it is robbery. They
have just the same right to demand "pro-
lection" for their wheat, lard, pork, corn
and other products, by the imposition of a
heavy tax, as the more favored class of
workers have to demand a tax of seven
dollars ton on iron aud thirty dollars on
STEEL"

Thompson and Simms live opposite each
other in narrow street, up town. They
were going on fishing excursion the other
day, and as they wanted to be sure to wake
in time to catch the early train, they ran
bit of clothesline across the street, into the
second story windows, and each tied an end
to bis leg, SO that if one awoke, the other
would Immediately feel pull. The scheme
was an excellent one, and we know of no
reason why, under ordinary circumstances,
it should not have have worked well. But
about five o'clock that morning, some la
borers stopped in front of the next door
above Simms for the purpose of erecting a
telegraph pole. When the hole was dug,
they began to put the pole upon end. But
unfortunately it slipped and came down with
tremendous force upon the clotheslne.
Mrs. Simms was very much surprised to
see Henry suddenly 60 over the foot Of the
bed I'd shoot, feet foremost. out Of the
window; but even she was not more amazed
than Mrs. Thompson was when Archibald
performed the feat. They met as it were,
around the pole, both with a leg broken.
They wake themselves now with alarm
clocks. It is safer. and less exciting
