FARE THEE WE'LL.

FARE THEE WE'LL.
prRoN's FAREWELL TO LADY BYRON.
Fare thee well and If forever,
stin forever fare thee well;
Fen though unforgiving, never
,Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
Would that breast were barred before thee,
where thy head so Oft hath lain,
While that placid sleep came DER thee,
Which thou ne'er can'st know again.
Would that breast by thee glanced over,
Every inmost thought could show
Then thou would'st at last discover
Twas not well to spurn it so.
Though the world for this commend thee
Though it smiles upon the blow,
Fen its praises must offend thee,
Founded on another's woe.
Tho my many faults defacc me,
Could another arm be found
Than the one which once embraced me,
To infiict cureless wound?
All my faults perhance thou knowest,
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes where e'er thou goest,
Whittier, yet with thee they go.
Ev'ry feeling hath been shaken:
Pride, which not world could bow,
Bows to thes-by thee forsaken,
Fen my soul forsakes me now.
But 'tis done-all words are idle
words from me are vainer still,
But the thoughts we cannot bride
Force their way without the will.
Fare thee weiii thus disunited,
Torn from ev'ry nearer tic,
Sear'd in heart, and lone and biighted,
More than this, scarce can die.

Hs. LICK, THE GENEROUS CALIFORNIAN


A San Francisco paper gives the follow
ing description of MIR. James Lick and his
style of living: Plenty of people, pioneers
small, spare figure of Mr.. Lick, attired in
a suit of black-not too often renewed
consisting of swallow-tailed coat, panta-
loons-not of the most fashionable cut
and a tall collar, supported by wealth OF
neckerchief. The style. of his garments
never changes with the tickle fashions.
The purpose of his life was to even, steady
and uniform for that. lie was not living
for the passing seasons, nor for the fleet
ing years. but for the ages, and when pos
terity strikes the average of his life, it will
doubtless decide that he has lived wisely
and well. He and his deeds, great and
small, require remoter perspective to be
fully seen, and only by the impartial fu-
ture can they be justly judged. Mean
while, the generous donor of magnificent
gifts remains at his rooms in the third
story of the Lick House, looking out on
Montgomery and Sutter streets. His style
of living is princely as compared with his
former mode of existence, which has been
at times SO unostentatious as to be re-
preached by fastidious friends as sordid.
He sees few people, and those briefly.
His physician visits him with tolerable
regularity. though traces of the paralytic
stroke which afflicted him something more
than q year ago have almost entirely dis
appeared. The room has the ordinary
hotel furniture, with such additions as the
wishes of the caprices of the occupant
have rendered necessary. The walls are
oruamented with few pictures. and books
were scattered about profusely. He
reads considerable solid literable but is
especially entertained by the news
papers-a pile of which, large enough to
make the fortune of chiffonier, is always
to be seen in one corner. The cards of
visitors brought to him are carefully
scanned, and If he suspects mere call of
curiosity. they are returned with advice to
see Mr.. Harrison, one of his trustees, or
Mr.. Krebe, his agent.

The Arkansas Business.

Affairs in Arkansas have been VASTLY
checkered" since the the so-called coup
d etat of Mr.. Brooks in seizing the reins
of government and expelling Baxter from
the State House. From the start the sym
thies of a large majority of the people
seem to have been with Baxter, although
there is a pretty general belief that in
point of fact Brooks was the rightfully
elected Governor. Baxter appears to have
made an honest effort in Office to perform
his duties, with an eye to the interest o.
the people. In this he encountered the
hostility of Senators Clayton and Dorsey
"a fact which served to solidify the pop
ular favor with which Baxter's course hac
already been received. Whilst, therefore
the people believed Brooks was elected
they came to regard Baxter as the better
representatives of their views, and Presi
dent Grant has just dispersed the Brook,
crowd and reinstated Baxter in power
which is about the worst thing he coulC
have done for the Republicans, as it is be
lieved that Baxter will see to it that Ar
kansas has fair and honest election, mex
time.

Paying Dear for His Spunk.

VIM. Spencer is section boss ON the
Rockford, Rock Island & St. Louis R. r.
and lives on strip of land near Rock Island
Junction, adjoining the large farm of the
late VIM. McEniry, in Yuma. He keeps a
good many ducks, geese, hens and other
fowls, who feed from the corn fed to the
hogs of the Widow McEniry. He had
been requested to shut up his fowls or take
some measures to prevent their incursions
upon his neighbours premises, but neglect
ed to do so,-whereupon Mrs. McEniry
sent him the following postal card, through
the post Office, viz
Mr.. W. Spencer, Rock Island junction Keep
your ducks and fowl away from eating corn with
my hogs-I have fed them long enough.

What there was in the above that could
be regarded as insulting is more than most
people can see. But Mr.. Spencer consid
cred himself insulted, and he thought to
bring ridicule upon Mrs McEnlry by post
ing the card on telegraph pole and calling
the attention of passers-by to it. A small
boy, of Mrs. McEniry's, saw it there and
told Spencer he would take it down. Spen-
Ger warned him that he would break ev-
cry bone 10 his body" if he did. The boy
told an elder brother, Michael, and he went
down to see about il" When he arrived
the card had been removed, but some
words followed. Spencer came down to
Justice Pinkley, in Rock Island, and swore
out peace warrant against Michael and
John McEniry and Mrs. Elizabeth Nc
