TOUJOURS AMOUR.

Prithes tell me, Dimple-Chin,
At what age does Love beginl
Your blue eyes have scarcely seen
Summers three, my fairy queen,
But miracle Of sweets,
Soft approaches, sly retreats,
Show the little archer there,
Hidden in your pretty hair;
When d.dst learn heart to winf
Prithee tell me. Dimple-Chin!
"Oh7'' the rosy lips reply,
Il can't tell you If | try.
IT'S so long l can't remember:
Ask some younger lass than ~
Tell, 0 tell me, Grizz.ed-Face.
DO your heart and head keep pacel
When does hoary Love expire,
When do frosts put out the fret
Can It's embsrs burn below
All that chill December saowl
Care you still soft hands t. press,
Bonny heads to smooth and bless
When does love give up the chased
Tell, o, tell me, Grizzled-Face.
"Ah," the wise old lips reply.
Youth may pass and strength may die
But Of Love l can't foretoken;
Ask some older sage than y"

A gentleman connected with the engin-
eer department Of the Cincinnati Southern

most cruel ulse Of Imprisonment at Hunts
vile. Scott County, Tennessee, during the
summer Of 1872. The remarkable prison

If we remember Alright a few years
since the Pulaski CITIZEN took the cor
pOratiOn of the city of Franklin to Sc
we're task, for permitting the boys of the
town to bathe in the river In close and
full view of the railroad. It was of
course very wrong on the part of the
boys of Franklin and we think prompt
efforts were made to stop it. We Justify
ourselves by the CTTIzEN's article of two
years ago, and suggest to the authorities
of Pulaski the expediency of abating
that worst of all nuisances-that indie
cent conduct that is carried on at the
bridge, in her corporate limits. 1t is a
great deal worse than that complained
of by the CITIZEN in the Franklin boys,
and has become so notorious that decent
people are afraid to go through that part
of town or pass the public highway.
We ask tile CITIZEN to have the disgrace
FIJI and filthy conduct done away with.
Laurence journal.
Our friend of the Journal would be
perfectly justifiable in his suggestion to
our town authorities If his premises
were true. But on the contrary, the
bridge is not within the corporation and
the nuisance complained of does not
come within its jurisdiction. 1t is the
rigid enforcement OF the corporation
laws against this nuisance which drives
it to retreat outside of the corporate
limits. Our courts have been appealed
to in vain on this subject. There has
been loop hole of escape for the per-
petrators some how or other, and they
are released from custody almost at ev-
cry term of the court, only to return
with more disgusting indecency to their
former haunts and habits. If the Jour
nal will only tell US hOlo to abate the
nuisance we will have it done.

Col. Lno. S. Kerr.

Col. JNo. s. KERR of Memphis, can
didate for the nomination for Governor
before the 18th Of August convention,
addressed a good number of Giles coun-
ty sovereigns at the court house yester-
day. Col, Kerr is a strong opponent of
the funding bill and great part of his
speech was directed against it. He is a
man of extraordinary culture, a fluent
and interesting speaker, accomplished
in manner and of elegant address. He
is seeking the nomination because he
wants to be Governor, and not because
he has been solicited to run. He will
have considerable strength in the con-
vention.
