THE LAST HOUR.

They came to bear his corpse away
Before her grim and stark 1t lay,
With blood besprent from shield to crest,
And five wounds open In the breast
They said to her, "The grave Is made
Wherein your lover must be laid,
And you nor we have time to spare,
Unless we seek his fate to share"
She an swered, "Yet little space
Give me to look upon his tace
Until this final hour be sped
Leave me alone here with my dead"
They turned away, those stern-faced men,
And left her to her watch again;
Nor Stifled sob, nor whispered word,
Henceforth the woiul stiffness stirred.
outside the window, droning bees
Humlned drowsily about the trees;
The hot sun blazed along the sky,
The wandering wind crept Idly by.
1t shook the sweetness and the bloom
From trailing vines across the room;
one white leaf fiuttered down to rest,
And turned to crimson, on his breast.
She, kneeling by the awful bier,
Made no lament, and shed no tear;
But the dumb anguish in her eyes
Might have compelled the dead to rise.
Could any yearning look or speech
Avail, alas the dead to reach P
And the still lips that make no moan
Were pale as lips are, cut in one.
His head within her arms embrace,
Her cheek laid close against his face,
And, all its silken lengths unbound,
Her dark hair streaming to the ground,-
SO chung she silently and fast.
AS one 10y one the moments passed,
0aSSlnp
Her brothers entered at the door.
For, marching downward through the land
There came apace q hostile band,
And he who met its lawless horde
Might choose his death by fire or sword.
Brief time remained for funeral rite
When need like this arose for flight,
SO they approached, full sore at heart,
To break that last embrace apart.
And one-the tenderest-at her ear,
Spoke soothing words of love and cheer;
But won no answer. Mute as clay
And moveless at his voice she lay.
Then, with a sudden, vague alarm,
lie touched her cheek, he raise ed her arm -
The arm dropt liieless from his hold,
The cheek already had turned cold
The gray they followed out for one
Held Nv before the day was done.
Arounf rang the battle din,
The 10, crs slept at peace within.

w. III. III. Dunn Again.

A correspondent writing from
Chillicothe to the Cincinnati En-
quirer says:
"The name of W. II. H. Dunn of
Hillsboro, has at last been brought
before the public as a candidate for
Congress. The Hillsboro Gazette
is committed to him, the Post of this
city about half favors him, while the
Waverly Watchman is non-commit-
tai. He has several parties in this
city who are working up his interests.
From indications he will make the
campaign hot for Hon. L. I. Neal.
Mr.. Dunn's position on the crusade
seems to have had tendency to
give him notoriety and popularity.
We are glad to see our Democratic
friends putting themselves on the
side of Whisky, unmistakably: Such
notoriety and popularity as they gel
in this way, they are welcome to-

An Outrageous Plot.

A most damnable plot has been
discovered in Moline, Illinois, to get
revenge upon the temperance ladies
of that place. An internal machine
was found arranged under the street
car track between Moline and Rock
Island, which was without doubt
placed there with the intention OF
blowing up a car load of crusaders
who were expected to pass over the
route. The torpedo graciously failed
to do the instigator's villainous work.

Nh. ED1ToB:-This town reminds me
very much of the ''Model Town" in it's
location and general appearance, having
beautiful site on the summit of one, and
surrounded by numerous other hills, GOV
cred with beautiful groves of young trees
This is considered fine section for
fruit, of which there is here, as almost
everywhere else this spring, a most excel
lent prosect for ali abundance of all kinds.
1 left Sandusky, o., two weeks ago, and
have visited Chicago, Burlington, Iowa,
Omaha, st. Joseph, Kansas City, Lawrence,
Fort Scott, st. Louis and here, and 1 find
everywhere promise of an abundance Of
fruit, especially of peaches.
Crops generally, of all kinds, ara looking
well. The spring has been cold and Dack-
ward in every section, but since the warm
weather set in in earnest, vegetation has
grown with rapidity unprecedented, and
to-day everything looks as forward as it usu-
ally is at this season of the year.
Notwithstanding the very dull times out
West just now, and should no failure oc-
cur in the crops, we may reasonably expect
quite revival of trade.
From all could learn, the majority of
the Western people ii. e. west of the Mis-
slssippi river) were much disappointed
when the President vetoed the initiation
bill They desire to see prices of lands and
produce advanced, and believe imitation
would accomplish it.
The great R. R. bridge at st. Louis was
formally delivered over by the contractors
on the 22d inst, and it was Immediately
opened for foot passengers-single tickets
five cents. Yesterday P. NJ. vehicles were
allowed to cross, and It's expected street
cars will be running over in a couple Of
weeks, and R. r. trains in less than a
month.
The Bridge, as it now stands, is one of
the really big things of the West. A cor
rect idea of its immensity can only be OBJ
tanned by inspection.
-Four tracks for street cars, and two ten
feet walks for foot passengers, rest upon
the top, whilst the tracks for the r. r.
trains run through the network of the i'm
mense iron spans that rest upon the heavy
granite piers and abutments, whose foun-
dations are laid beneath the bottom of the
river.
The amount of travel over this colossal
structure when the r. r. trains commence
running over it, will simply be immense,
as the number of R. Roads centering here
is alresdy large and increasing.
st. Louis is one of your substantial towns
not built upon n Y or Boston credit,
and although perhaps a little too conserva-
tive, yet it is reasonably progressive, and
most important and valuable improvements
are going forward all the time.
