HOW I LOST MY HEART.

To tell you just how lost IT,
Oh, that were n difficu,t task;
How the thing got away on that autumn ds
never stonped TO ask.
Perhaps 1t was glance that did II,
A soft caress TO my hair,
close warm grasp, OF gentle clasp,
That captured IL then and there.
You see, there are things you can govern,
But hearts have way Of their own:
Like birds they ny. and you can't tell why
You only miss them when gone.
And why don't tell the story,
II the reason you really mnst learn,
r.. though life grew bright with rosy light,
Yet I won no heart In return
Somebody's ewes were gentle and kind,
And his voice was soft and low;
But the heart wanted was given away
Ever 20 long ago.
And 40. while solace lonely life
With cat and a cup n tea.
Somebody's arm is aronRd his wife,
And her baby on his knee.
And the loss met with Ia this
Thatm Ia q lonely part:
You can't for yonr life make loving wife
Ofa woman without heart.
Another hand rests on that manly breast
That I wanted TO shelter me:
Some other fair face has won my place,
So no mans wife I'll be.
But cnmpensatIon's law OF life.
And though the trials the gods Will send,
I've no on. TO scold when beefsteaks
are cold.
And no small stockings 10 mend.
So the love fnat is lost never regret.
When think what nv troubles might be;
When dinner is late smile at Fate,
And nobody storms ct me.
-Hurpers' Bazdr.

An HONEST FElL,Ow

The colored janitor at the. Washin. ton
police headquarters is an honest fellow,
and deserves well of his country. A man
by the name of Ottman had been rob-
bling the United States, and was sus-
pected. a large amount Of the money
had been deposited by him in tin box
ut the German-American Savings bank
Of Alexandria, Va, as special deposit.
When the crisis arrived, and he had been
arrested, Ottman gave TO the janitor an
order upon the cashier Of the bank fol

and house and lot. IL you have no

tanned large sum OF money that he
might secure tor himself. The tempta-
ton to obtain 1t was great, but the honest
fellow carried Ottman's note to the de-

RENrl,EA9 AlDNORA

A special to the New York Herald from
Tucson, Arizona, September 18th, says
that Sonora Is in very revolutionary
state again. Adviccs to our Arizona
frontier say that under prctext OF liberal
and reform laws Governor Pesquiera,
who has been In office since 1858, treats
the people In a despotic manner. Forced
loans (prestamos), heavy contributions
and taxes, prevent this State from making
any material progress. The expulsion of
the Sisters Of Charity by Lerdo's govern
ment has turned many liberal-minded
men against the administration. Accounts
which reach Tucson say that Sonora, 81
naloa, as well as the interior States OF
Mexico, are infested by bands of maraud.
ers and bandits, who claim to belong to
the conservative party, and thus attempt
to hide their crimes under the guise Of

Incorrect. Officer Lowe came on to this

Some four weeks ago, Baker was working

nights after a fearful charge of shot was
