UNDER THE LEAVES.

Her hands are cold her face is white !;
No more her pulses come and go;
Her eyes are slnt to life and light
Foldthe white vesture, snow on
81 ow .7s
And lay her where the violets grow
But not beneath a craven stone,
To plead for tears with plian eyes.
\ slender cross of wood alone
Shall say that here maiden lies,
In reace beneath the peaceful skies.
And gray old trees of hugest limb
Shall wheel their circling shadows
round
TIC make the scorching sunlight dim
That drinks the greenness from the
ground ..
And drop their dead leaves on the
mound
When DER the boughs the squirrels run,
And through their leaves the robins
call,
And lipening in the autumn sun
The acorns and the chestnuts fall,
Doubt not that she willheed them all.
For her the morning choir shall sing
Its mathis from the branches high,
And every minstrel voice of spring,
That trills beneath the April sky,
Shall greet her with its earliest cry.
When turning round their dial track,
Eastward the lengthening shadows
pass,
Her little mourners clad in black,
The crickets sliding thro' tie grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.
At last the rootlcts Of the trees
Shall find the prison where she lies,
And bear the buried dust they seize
In leaves and blossoms to the skies,
SO may the soul that warmed it, rise.
If any, born Of kindlier blood,
Should ask, "What maiden lies be
low %
Say only this A tender bud,
That tried 10 blossom in the snow,
Lies withered where the violets grow.

ApscoxDED.-On Saturday evening
SAYS the Steubenyille Herdldmd Ne,cs,
a man giving his name as I. Dickson,
from Bethany, West Virginia, accom-
panied by his wife and small child,
came to the St Charles Hotel, III that
city, and represented that he had sold
his farm, and was on his way to the
West, securing room at the hotel.
In the evening Mr.. IIarter notified him
that where guests had no baggage 1t
was the custom to receive payment in
advance. This be promised to settle in
the morning, but when Sunday morn
ing arrived, it was discovered that he
had absconded, leaving his wife and
child His wife was in great distress,
and said that her mother lived near
Warren, on the G. q p. road, and that
she would walk down there, but Mr.
IIarter very kindly told her he would
keep her until Monday, and that ar
rangements could be made by which
she could 90 down Oh the train. Yes
terday morning she offered TO leave her
satchel as security for her board, but
Ms. Harter refused this, and as she had
lost her shawl, Mrs. Harter very kindly
cave her one TO shelter herself and lit
tie child from the cold. The woman
seemed to be very much Of a lady, and
was much distressed at the action of
Mr.. Dickson.

TIE WIDow VS.. WIDowEEs- We
have never been able to comprehend
why so much sympathy should be man
ifested in behalf Of poor widows and SO
little fer widowers. OF the two, the lat
ter in most instances, are the most pit
liable, helpless and Respondent.
When the man dies, the woman
seems TO accept the situation; she gath
ers her resources, much or little, to-
oetber. and transfers all Of the deep
and holy love she had layished upon
her husband, to her children. Thus
panoplied, trusting in God, she moves
on in the even tenor of life, breasting
all the storms, and overcoming all dif
ficulties, until she has reared a useful
and happy family.
On the other hand, when man los
es his wife, in most cases he seems to
lose his reason. His home is broken up
his children scattered. lie becomes
sort of monomaniac. He throws him
self into the matrimonial market,
kind of secondhand man, or commodi-
ty, which must be disposed of on some
terms Immediately. He falls head over
ears in love with everything that wears
calico. The puppy love of eighteen is
tame compared to his frenzied devo-
ton to any and all who will listen to
him. His only cure is death or matri-
mony. We really pity and sympathize
with the widower, and as We have sew
eral now residing in our city, we might
as we'll state, in this connection, that
we know of large number Of respec-
table ladies who join us in our condo
lence, and who would be willing to
sacrifice themselves on the hymeplal
alter for their relief.

ARRIpE,s SAD FATE.

TIE Bon ToN OF NEWARK IN TEARS
-FcNERAL ENDING OF a HAIRY HoN-
EYMooN,-The upper ten" social cir
cles of Newark rolled lich and pala-
table morsel of news under their
tongues about a month ago. The
theme was the very recherche double
wedding of two of Newark handsomest
and most accomplished belles-the
Misses Jane NJ. and Caroline S, daugh-
ters of NJ. S. S. Tiffany, leading and
wealthy citizen. The demoiseles were
married, Miss Jane to Philadelphian,
and Miss Carrie to DR.. Florian Alexan
der, of Baltimore. Both brides started
off with prospects Of a most brilliant
character. The wedding trip was one
of the most delightful that wedding
tourists could desire. At its close the
Alexander couple took up their tempor
ary abode with the brides parents, on
High street, Mr.. Tiffany, the father,
being absent III Europe. On Monday
last, Mrs. Alexander, who was only
about twenty years Of age, left home to
make some calls, and was complimented
on
IIER IIEALTHFUL APPEARANCE
She told her friends she never felt
better. On returning home in the at
ternoon she retired to her room. About
5 o'clock servant found her there in
sensible. The family soon gathered
and tried to restore her, but without
avail. Then an eminent physician was
called. He pronounced the case con-
gestion of the brain, and had DE-
O'Gorman called in. With the uncOn-
scious lady these TWO professional gen
tlemen-than whom none stand higher
in the State-struggled to restore her to
sense, but without effect. Powerful
stimulants, a galvanic blttery, and all
that science could suggestwere brought
into requislion, but to no use. Shortly
after 10 o'clock the lamp OF life of the
bride of month fled forever. So quick
ly did the lady pass into eternity that
it was some time before her friends
could believe it possible that she was
really dead. To describe the grief
which overwhelmed not only the be
reaveJ family, but larga circle OF
friends, would be impossible. The oc-
currence has caused widespread feel
ing of deep sorrow Throughout the
community
TIE FUNERAL
took place yesterday at ST. Stephens
church, on Clinton avenue, and was
very impressive ceremony, 4 large con
gregation being in attendance. The
clergyman who otliciated at the wedding
a month ago, Rev. DR.. Z. B. Boges,
sadly and fcelingly otliciated over the
bier Of the bride-corpse, For several
years previous to her marriage Mss
Tiffany took leading part in promoting
Newark charities On several occasions
she won marked distinction for the adj
mirable manner in which she bore diff
cult parts in amateur theatrlcals Tor
charitable purposes. y post mortem
examination proved that death did re-
suit from congestion of the brain, as
set forth in the first medical diagnosis.

THEY DIED WITH THEIR Doors on
The yciSsitudcs Of life have been strik-
ingly exempliiied in the death Of MIR.
CLAYTON, who was recently found mur-
dered on Coal creek, about twenty-five
miles from Greeley. Mr. Clayton, as
we learn from the Central Register. is
the last of six men who came to Colo
RADIO several years ago, TO seek their
fortunes Every one of the six has met
violent death. Mr.. Fleming, the fifth
man TO be suddenly launched i:to cter-
nitv. was killed in the Clayton mine last
wear. When he was killed, Clayton,
feeling rs il the tates had doomed all
the companions to a sudden death, re-
marked to those around him, 1T will be
my turn next" Sure enough, bis turn
came, and as it would seem, not sooner
than he expected; for, previous to start
ing on the fatal prospecting tour, he
said, Il have presentiment that | shall
never come back alive" We do not
incline to the belief that he foresaw bis
death, but the untimely departure of his
FIVE companions seems to have weighed
heavily upon lis mind, and doubtless he
looked for death TO come at any mo-
ment, and especially when about to de
part long distance from friends. The
chapter is closed by the death Of the
six, and we doubt if more sad one is
on record-Denuer (COI) Tribune.

didn't 'come to court" however, but
to attend the sale OF the "Great Chicago

the day, and if any business was trans
acted by his Honor inside OF the lem

sum of SO, 6G6.50. None of the most
valuable horses were sold, much the
larger number being merely draught
horses old and poor. No such sale
ever took place in this neck Of woods
before and any circus that fells like

Louisiana yesterday elected six Congress-
men, q State Treasurer and Legislature. The
Conservatives claim to have elected five Con-
sressmen; they have possibly carried the State
ticket, and have large majority in the new
Legislature. Whatever errors have been COM
mittsd in Louisiana have made for the bene-
fit of the Conservatives in the long run. just
row, more important than the triumph Of any
party, is the information that the election in
Louisiana passed off quietly, and that the re-
suit has been accepted as anhonest expression
Of the will of tie people. This appears
to be the exact state of the case SO far
as information reaches u.s. If this be true, it
marks the return to the normal condition of
things in State which, since the end of the
rebellion, has never been able to give any in
telligible and unquestionable expression of
opinion at the polls. The great victory of the
Conservaivesis the Legislature, which chooses
a United States Senator, and now has the con-
troll of the taxation and other specia! interests
of the State This is an important point
gained, and probably signalizes the end Of the
Kellogg domination in Louisiana N Y.

OUR TRIUMPH AND ITS NEA MING.
Editor n. o. Bulletin:

Nothing could more happily illustrate the fac
that human wrong has its appointed limits thar
the great victory just achieved over fadicalism
AS the waves Of the sea are brided by an omni.
potent decree, so carpet-baggery, and all Other
phases Of political rascallty, have q curb; thus
far they may come, but no further. AS a people,
We have stuff I'D much but the measure Of Oul
rejolcings in the bright days that await US, viii
go beyond the extent of our woes. We are re-
deemed, Olsen thralled, and made victors in the
mighties' conte st OF modern times. Radicalism,
IN our sovereign States, is dead that it's ghost
will hardly be able to "revisit the glimpses Of the
MOON"
In the pyramid Of States, the grandest is our
own Louisiana, with the wreath of martvrdom
upon her brow. By common assent, the bravest
OF non hearted patriots are those who poured out
their blood like water on the 14th OF September.
The necessity staggered US at the moment; and
We did pray that this cup might pass; but the
result indicates that Providence which has for
every agony its equiveiant blessing. 1t is seen
that the American people deluded as thousands
ha 70 been by Radicaism- do love liberty. and
that they.stand ready to rebuke it's strides to i'm
perIasm. as evinced in its eagernsss for third
term President. The most gratifying feature in
sill the details of this wondrous victory is the
fact that SO many o. the colored voters came
shoulder to shoulder, with their white fe!ow-cit-
liens, to the rescue Of Louisiana. They now re-
allze that their best friends are the home people,
those among whom they live, no. foreigners in
Uot.o Peis, WHO lave no identity Oh Interest.
This awakening among the colored people ex-
hnguishes the last hope Of the carpet-baggers,
because it was the credulty Of the blacks that
egged these fellows ON when the ordinary re-
sources OF their stock in trade failed them
Now, Them We trust that the store otyped CRY Of
s. hard times will cease in measure, while
inch by inch We recover our normal status of
prosperity.
We car hasten the good time by cultivatng
ouoyant spirit, by speaking CHEEKY words and by
