TEN. YEARS WE'D.
BY +. G. LEE.

My heart o'erflows with tenderness dear,
Too full for the lips to speak,
As 1 look in the depths of your eyes to-day
AS kiss your darling cheek;
For the angel of time, with his outspread
wing,
Though he's sweeping by us so,
Istelling, almost like the Angel of Love,
Of the day, ten years ago..
The vista is deep in its shadowings now,
That he bids me look adOwn;
But picture stands out in the softened
light,
Above it, bridal crown!
And the Angel of Love, who is lowering
there,
Waves back the Angel of Time,
While the quivering echoes are trembling
still
With tones of silvery chime.
And, looking away o'era a half fscore years,
1t seemeth but yesterday
Since you and l started, dear life Of my
life,
TO travel the rugged way!
But, scanning the days as they've sped
one by one,
They open longer view
OF the varying path we have climbed up
the hill
As we twain are older, too.
Though memory leaps DER this decade of
ours
4 cloud by the lightning cleft
The ghost of each year, as he comes in his
shroud,
Points to some trace he has left.
When ten more have gone, will we still,
side by side,
Summon before us their dead?
Will we smile, will we weep, DER the tomb
of the years,
O'er dream too swiftly fed?
Another ten years. the mysterious un-
known
Is wrapped in veil untorn;
For the Love that hath granted the days
gone by,
Hath hidden the days unborn.
But, before the dark folds that we cannot
uplift,,
A glorious spirit comes;
And Hope, as he Springs from the Past,
points above,
To his shining palace domes.
bend to the breath Of that whispering
Past,
heed not the Angel of Time,
For the Angel Of Hope CROWNS the Angel
OF Love,
As list to my wedding chime
But my heart comes back through the
vista again,
From the joy of the lovc-lit scene,
And the wife, not the bride, dearest, hold
ing the throne,
Pre-eminent stands, my queen.
If ever shade l have brought to the brow
Whence shadows I'd chase away
One tear your eye, or one pain to your
heart,
Darling, forgive me to-day!
God bless thee, true help-mate! God help
me to be
Worthy His gift from above;
For my heart hath no off"ring to lay at
your feet
Better, my wife, than its love.

The divorce of Mr.. Ames from his

surprise to her friends. 1t is true that
they were not often together, for his
business kept him at Harpers Ferry,
while hers brought her to Washington

summer. have known Mrs. Ames
eight years, and seen her husband fire.
quently during that time. | believe
they are how as they always have been,
the best Of friends. He seemed proud
of her talents, and understood that she
could not immure herself at SO uncon-
genial place as Harper's Ferry. Mrs.
Ames is o hard worker. Without any
help from her husband she for years has
supported both herself, both of her pa
rents, and educated young sister Mr..
Ames was clergyman when she, at an
early age, married him. Since the war
Mr.. Ames has had perfect iufatuation
for investing money at Harpers Ferry
He even sold fine residence in a fash
ionable quarter in New York city and
put the proceeds in warehouses at the
Ferry. Before the houses were rented
the great frcshet foated them down the
Shenandoah river. Still he goes on
buying and building. Mrs. ARes tried
for two years to live there but her life
was intolerable. Report says that Mr..
Ames has found lady at the Ferry who
likes the place, and that he obtained the
divorce so that he could marry again.
1t is more unfortunate for the lady than
for him, as a divorce always leaves
something of blight upon the woman.

SUPPOSED MURDER IN MoNTGoMERY
CouNTY.-We learn from gentleman
who was in Montgomery county last
week, that on Christmas morning the
dead body of white woman named
Payne, was found near the road about
six miles northeast Of Rockville aud
within a mile or two Of her home. The
report was that the woman and her
husband were in Rockville on Thursday,
where both of them got drunk. Re
turning home at night it is supposed
that they quarreled, and the husband
killed his wife. The jury of inquest
rendered verdict that the womans
death was caused by violence at the
hands of some person unknown to the
jury. The husband was arrested on
suspicion and sent to Jail. The parties
resided on the farm of Judge Cashel,
about seven miles from Rockville
