BY DE FOREST r. GUMMERsoN.
You ask me, if this love Of mine
Hath depths beyond the calm it seems?
I cannot tell, thou know'st the vine
Hides oft its roots beneath deep streams.
But this know tn on art to me
More than Golconda's mines can giye:-
Without thee sad my life would be,
And for thee ouly do live.
Nor do ask more to attain
Than one soft glance from thy bright eye;
If asking this to me were vain,
Beneath that glance then let me die !

QUEER PEOPLE.
La COMIC SPEECH

ooh, deer oh! this world quite strange is,
Every day brings forth new chapges!"
That's fact! Indeed these
changes sometimes come SO fast
that fellow can't keep up with
them.
Well, well; this IS queer world.
No, it isn't either. I've made a
mistake,-'tis a pretty snug little
affair, after all. IT'S the People that
are queer. All, now have the right
end of the rope! Yes ; there are a
greatmany queer people in this pretty,
rolling world of ours.
But of all the queer peop'e here
below, the croaking, growing,
grunbling, gossoping, snarling, snap
ping, sour, sulky, fdgety, fratful,
falt-fnding, tattling, back-biting
species are the queerest. And they
are queer; or else [ don't understand
the word.
They think everybody wrong but
themselves; and I'm sure that queer.
IT'S queer they can't see that the lest
people in the world are the most
candid, open-hearted, afable, kind,
charitable, free and unsuspectlng;
out then they wouldn't be queer if
they saw it; and, as they love to be
queer, they won't see it!
It's queer they don't know that
people who deserve the most censure
themselves, are most apt to be
always blaming and scolding their
neighbors.
It is queer they never found out
that those who are so keen-sighted
as to see.only other peoples fau1ts,
are stone blind IN regard to seeing
their oqom.
'Tis queer they never learn the
application Of the Sayiour's words to
their own case:-"Thou hypocrite,
first cast the BEEN out of thine own
eye" Yes, it's queer; but then, if
all this wasn't queer, they wouldn't
be queer; and they'd fight with them
selves; or like the Kilkenny cats, eat
themselves for being like other
people And SO they so through life,
fretting at everything that ism as
queer as themselves.
A fretting man or woman is some
hing like awasp; (howeyer, to the
honor Of the wasp be it said, he
won't sting you unless you disturb
him, but fault-fnding, fretfnl,peevish
dissatisfied mortal goes through life,
buzzing and singing withoutprovoca-
ton.
All, my friends, never get queer!
1t is useless. Itmakes nothing come
right. Itsets no broken bones; it stops
no leaks; it gathers no split
milk; it mends no smashed
pitchers; it fattens no. pigs;
it cures no spoiled hay; it saves no
damaged grain; it changes no east
winl; it make nobody love you; it
only makes people laugh; for they
know that barking dogs never bite.
| wonder if there are any queer people
IN this house? reckon not, though.

WE'LL DONE LUCY STONE

w ELL DUNE LII C4 OIONE.
MRS. TILTON INDICATED BY ONE WHO
KNOWS HOW IT is HERSELF-'MY
HEART ACHES AT THE INJUSTICE OF
ME-"
Mrs. Lucy Stone in the Woman's Journal ]
Those who know Mrs. Tilton well
and hence believe IN her essential
goodness and truth of character,
should bear that testimany for her
now. Of all The persons In the sad
scene which has been passing before
our eyes, Mrs. Tilton seems to me TO
be more wronged and injured than
any other, and at the same time Ito
be the most innocent. [ have known
her, more or less intimately, sixteen
ears. [ have seen her in her house
and in my own, and have had reason
to admire and honor her, in every
relation in which [ saw her. She
was a faithful wife, discreet and
gentle mother, and her house was
model of neatness, good taste and
good order She never gave her
children over to servants. She said
to me, II hire service for other things,
but [ want to take care Of my chill
dren myself; SO [ make their clothes
and teach them lessons, and am
newer happier than when, surround
ed by them here, [ watch their open
ing intellect" And she looked with
motherly pride and tenderness over
her little group of fine children, who,
[ fully believe, will yet "Eise up and
call her blessed" Her husband,
even now, while charging her with
the most infamous crimes, can not
keep back his real belle: that ''no
white-sou'ed woman lives than
Elizabeth Tilton."
Still, by those who do not know
Mrs. Tilton, the question is honestly
asked, "What manner of woman is
it, who can say, and straight unsay;
who, at the bidding of anybody
would affirm and deny the same thing
in the same breath ?" But to my
mind full answer is found in the
picture she herself gives of her own
utter misery, The man she had
trusted had failed Der. He who
should have sheltered the mother of
his children gave 70 the wide world
a hint of nameless crime. The sus-
picious shadow gathered like a pail
about her. She felt her hearthstone
crumbling under feet, and ruin run
ming over all she had-husband,child-
rem, home, hope, everything. Smat-
ing under blows which, though not
seen, give the most cruel hurt; COVER
ing before an Infamous woman, who
was installed over her in the house;
carrying to the graves Of her children
the dead hopes Of all her life; driven
to the wall; IN utter despair, endured
for five miserable years-Elizabeth
Tilton said what her tormentors
required her to say, against herself,
against her pastor, to her apparent
certain death.
Doubtless there are many women
who, in her place, and guiltless as she
would nave borne the dastardly char.
ges in proud silence, scorning to deny,
and refusing to criminate themselves;
women who could be drawn and
quartered, but whom no stress of cir
cumstancescould compel to falsenood.
There are others, who would cling to
the wreck, but with all the strength
OF innocence, and pride, and truth,
! would 90 down with It. shnntino

FIRST DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL CONvEN
TION.
HON. c. G. WILLIAMS NOMINATED BY AcoLAMArIoN
THE PLATFORM.

The Republican Co invention of the First Con
gresslonal District convened at EIkhorn on the
I'd instant. Every District was fully represented
and the convention was harmonious. There
being but one candidate, Hon. G. G. Williams
was renominated for Representative by acclama-
tion-a compliment alike creditable to Mr.. VIII
liams and his constituents.
The platform is expressive Of Republican prin-
Ciples and meets the present political issues The
currency is the only question on which there
could be difference of opinion between Republi-
Cans-the question being between a Treasury
currency and hank currency, and that is not
now before the people. The Republican party,
being party of progress, will meet the issue
when it comes up. At present we lave banks Of
issue, and the questions free banking and
specie payment, and on these questions the plat
form IS judclous and conservative.

The Tale of Dog Who Lost His Tail.

MR.: G. W. STAPLES, the proprietor of
the New York Market, is the happy
owner of a shepherd dog that does honor
to his kind, which are renowned for their
fidelity, gentleness and sagacity Satur-
day afternoon, when on the Enterprise
road, near the Pine Creek bridge, Mr..
Staples had occasion to get out of his
wagon and leave his team standing on
the road for few minutes until he went
into the barn to look at some cattle.
Hearing a noise a moment after going
into the barn he looked toward the road
and saw his team had started to run
away. His faithful dog, seeing the horses
were doing what they ought not to do,
Immediately dashed out into the road
and at the heads of the horses, trying to
stop them in the same manner he does
cattle, but, failing in this, he astonished
his owner by grabbing the lines, which
had been dragging on the ground, with
his teeth, and then bracing himself,
pulled back on the horses as a person
would, trying to stop them. But alas!
the horses were too strong for him, and
soon were jerking him head over heels
over the rough road. Still the dog held
fast. At last a sudden jerk threw him
under the wheels, and in less than no
time that tail-that beautiful tail which
he in all his dogging pride used to curl
so handsomely over his back-was M
more, but, on the contrary, decidedly less
by about six inches. The dog let 20 If

A Persian Story.

A terrible story comes to US from Per-
sla. In one of the districts lab0ring
man had been sentenced to be bastina-
doed for some offense, receiving $50
blows on the soles of his feet. As he
sank down on his knees after the SEN
tence had been carried out, and it was.
believed that his injuries were of Sc
rious character, he called the Judge to
his side, intimating that he had terrible
secret to reveal. As he could only speak
in a whisper the Judge placed his ear to the
lips of the fainting man, when the latter
seized it with: his teeth and in his agony
bit it completely off.
under what circumstances, is considered
a lasting disgrace, and the Judge so felt
it. He at once gave orders to have the
prisoner carefully cared for, ASSURING the
physicians that if they did not save his
life their own should pay the penalty,
and they succeeded.
When the prisoner had fully recovered
he was sentenced to have his teeth pulled
out one by one in presence of the mob,
and this frightful sentence was carried
out, two days being exhausted in the
work. No pains were taken with the
horrible job, and the jaws were broken
and crushed and the whole lower part of
the mans face was a mangled mass, and
his suferings were SO great that many of
the men tainted in witnessing the opera
tion. Two days after the little life in
the man was beaten out of the soles of
his feet, and the Judge, having fully salts
fed his thirst for vengeance, committed
suicide.
