now STRANGE IT WILL BE.

HOW STRANGE H WILL BIZ.
How strange it WIN be, loye-how strange
when we two
Shall be what all lovers become?
You rigid and faithless, cold and untrue
You thoughtless of me, and careless o.
yeu;
Our pet names grown rusty with nothing
to do;
Loves bright web unrayclcd, and rent and
worn through,
And lifc's loom left empty ala, hum!
All, me!
How strange it will be
How strange it will be when the wilchery
goes,
Which makes me seem lovely to-day;
When your thought Of me loses its 'colcur
dc rose;
When every day serves some new fault to
disclose,
Aud wonder you could fora moment sup
When you find I'sc cold eyes, and IN every
day nose
1 was out Of the common place way
Ab, me!
How strange it will be!
How strange it will be. love how strange
when VIC meet
With just 4 still touch OF the Land,
When my pulses no longer delightfully."-
best
At the thought Of your coming, the sound
of your feet;
When | watch not your coming FAR down
the long street;
When your dear loving voice, too, SO thrill
ingly sweet;
Crews harsh in rcrroach or command;
All, me!
How strange it will be!
How strange it will be when we willingly
stay
Divided the weary day through;
or getting remotely apart, rs we may,
Sit chilly and silent, with nothing TO say:
Or coOlly converse on the news ofthe day,
In wearisomo old married folk sort OF
way;
1 shrink from the picture don't you?
All, me!
How strange it will be!
Dear love, if our hearts 10 grow torpid and
cold,
As so many o Othcrs Have done;
II VIC let our love perish with hunger cold
II we dim all hfe.s diamonds and tarnish
its gold;
II we choose to live wrctchcd and die un-
consoled,
Twill be stranse,t Of all things that ever
were told
As happening binder the sun!
Ah, me!
How strange il viii be!

Mr.. Harvey 3. Ring went to Den
yer, Colorado, some years ago, with
S7O,O 600 as a nucleus OF a fortune. He
had made this money among the oil
wells of Pennsylvania. He led a wild
life in Colorado, and instead of add
ing TO his means, lost all he had.
With small remnant of his money,
he purchased poisons, and filed his
trunk with them. He confdentially
told some of his friends that he had
poison enough in his trunk TO kill a
regiment. lie fed on poisons-hght-
ly at first to try their effects. He
liked the effect of morphine best, and
adopted that as his pet particular
preference. When he was ready to
make an end of II, he took fifteen
grains, and summoned his friends to
c him sail away into the ethereal
realms of never-ending dreams. Be.
fore falling asleep he took fancy to
be horse-whipped, and begged one OF
his friends to do 1t for him, as a part
ing act of gratitude. The friend de-
clined, and so did Ring. He leaves &

Admiral Porter has invented a won
derful torpedo. 1t is likely to revo-
lutiORize naval warfare completely.
1t consists of a large boat, armed with
one or two guns, and carrying a tre-
mendous percussion shell in its nose.
You get into this boat with a picked
crew of thirty or forty men; you then
row up under the enemy's guns, to
which you pay no attention, hurl youl
boat nose foremost like a clap of thun-
der against the hull of his vessel,
when the shell explodes, carrying
wreck, ruin, death and destruction "a

ful pottery tree of Para. This tree
attains a height of one hundred feet
before sending out branches; the stem
Is very slender, seldom much exceed

The wood is hard, and contains a large
amount of silica not So much, how
ever, as the bark, which is largely
employed as a source of silica in the
manufacture of pottery. In preparing
the bark for the potter's use it is first
burned, and the residue is then pull
verized and mixed with clay in vary
ing proportions. With an equal guam
tity of the two ingredients a superior
quality Of ware is produced. 1t is
very durable, and will bear almost

may be readily ascertained by grind

Oh, loosen the snoOd that you wear, Ja-

Than your brown hair vailins your shoul-

Il was brown with a golden gloss. Janette,
II was nner than silk or the floss, my pet;
Twas a beautiful mist falling down 10 your

Twas thing to be braided and jeweicd
and kissed,
Twas the IOyelie,t hair in the world, my

Ny arm was the arm OF q clown, Janette.
II was sinewy, hristled and brown, my pet,
But warmly and softly it loved TO caress
Your round white neck and your wealth
OF tress,
Your beautiful plenty OF hair, my pet.
You- eyes had swimming gloss. Janettc,
Revealing the dear old story, my pet,
They were gray. with that chastened tinge
of the sky,
When the trout leaps quickest 10 snatch
the fly
And they matched with Your golden halr,
my pet.
Your lips-but have no words, JanetIe,
They were a. fresh ~ the twitfer Of hirds,
my pct,
When the spring is young, and the roses
arc wet
With dew-drops in each red bosom set:
And they suited your gold-brown hair. my
pet.
Oh, you tangled my hfs in your hair, Ja-
nette,
Twas siIken aud golden suare, my pet;
But so gentle the bondase,m my soul did i'm
plore
The right TO continue slave evcrmOre,
With my fngers eumeshed in your hair, my

Thu ever Idream what you were, Janctte.
With your lips, and your eyes, aud your
hair, my pet,
In the darkness Of desolate years moan,
And my tears fall bitterly over the stsne
That covers your golden hair, my pet.

The bankrupt state.

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 5.-The legisla-
ture met at Mechanics Institute.
The proceedings were orderly. 1t is
understood that Lowell, the present
Speaker, holds over under a pledge to
resign in ten days if the House wish
es it. Gov. Kellogg's message was
very long. Its main points were these:
The total debt of the State is S24, ,289,-
336. Some of this was of doubtful le-
gality, and was being tested in the
courts. The State had tried to pay
the interest on this amount, and had
done so up to date, but could do so
no longer without maintaining a rate
of taxation which is almost confisca-
tiOn. He proposes the funding of the
whole dabt at 60 cetts on the dollar
in new Z per cent consols, guaranteed
by constitutional amendments, and
the appropriation for the interest to
be made perpetual, the debt to be linn
tied at the point to which it would be
reduced by this consolidation, say
fifteen millions. He argues that these
cOnsols would be worth par, whilst
the present bonds are only worth on
the market 50 cents on the dollar, and
states that the consolidation scheme
has been submitted to and approved
by the New Orleans Chamber of Com
merce and large bOndholders. He re-
grets that large appropriations made
for railroads had resulted in a failure
10 build the road to Texas. The two
und half million bonds issued to
the Mobile & Texas railroad by the
act of 1871 without consideration,
would probably not be paid. ANY
one who would come forward and
give solid guarantee to build the road
should have every assistance from the
State. Failing i'll all other plans, he
recommended the State to buy the
road under q second mortgage bond,
and build it itself. He recommended
the revision or repeal of large num-
Der of laws, and says that if the men,
bers forming the opposing body do
not come in and take the seats which
have been kept open for them, they
must take all the responsibility oi the
result of their conduct.
The True Legislature.
The McEnery Legislature met, but
th9re was no quorum. In view of the
fact that the Kellogg Legislature is

Hon. Alex. H. Stephens has writ
ten his third or fourth letter on the
salary grab, in which he says:
$50 far as 1 am individually con-
cerned, / care very little about the fig
ure at which the pay may be fixed.
While am here, l can live upon little
as any other member OF, Senator. All
that l received as a member of Con-
gTess during my sixteen years service
was spent in Washington, or in the
discharge of my public duties at home,
so far as related to procuring and
sending useful information to the peo-
pie generally, as well as responding
to special demands Oh my attention
by individuals from all parts of the
country. My private estate was not
increased a dime during that whole
period from Government.pay, nor did
1 ever make or receive, directly or in
directly, dime for any services rem
dered my constituents, or others in
securing pensions, bounty-lands, or
the payment of claims or any of the
public departments, or for any other
thing said or done by me in Washing
ton during that sixteen years of ser
vice.
While 1 am here, in the future as
in the past, 1 consider myself the pub
lie servant of the people, and shall be
,oOntented with whatever pay may be
legally allowed me, and shall not con-
slider 1t either dishonorable of dishon-
est TO receive whatever amount, high
or low, that may be so allowed.
I'm the money view, however, on
the figures fixed by the last Congress,
after expenses here, 1 could not pos
sibly realize, from the Government
pay, half what 1 made annually for
the last four years, from the use of
my pen alone, diseased and crippled,
and confined as 1 was, at my home.
So all will, doubtless, readily perceive
that 1 have not been governed by any
mercenary motives IN accepting my
present position, even on the idea of
my having assumed its duties for
stipulated consideration.
