An old lady bade her daughter
good-by in the Rochester depot a
few days ago, saying; +" 1t isn't
likely III ever see you again
I'm getting so old" She was
starting for her home in Chicago
and as the train started she put
her head out of the window to
catch final glimpse of her rela-
tive. The daughter was standing
on au adjacent track, waving her
handkerchief. A locomotive
dashed in and overrun her, and
the last that mother saw, as the
train moved out Of the depot was
the mangled body of her daughter.
The grief of the poor old woman
was frantically expressed. At the
first station she got out and re-
turned to Rochester.

She Wanted a Noble Husband.

A Dresden correspondent of the
Chicago Times relates the follow
ing about Cincinnati girl: She
fell in love with Polish Count,
and her father being rich, the
Count expressed himself as will
ing to marry hsr If her father paid
certain sum down, and bound
himself to a certain annual income,
The father refused the terms with
some asperity, and the easy-mind-
ed nobleman ceased his visits to
his daughter. But she was deter
mined to have a husband with a
coronet, or perhaps she was in
love with the man. Be that as it
may, she gave her father no peace
until he re-opened negotiations
with the thrifty lover. She cor
responded with him constantly,
and as her life began to be despair
ed of, and the physicians declared
it to be the result Of a mental
trouble, the old gentleman was
compelled to buy his son in-law at
the family valuation, 100000
down, in gold, and a yearly annu-
ity of $1,000 in gold. In return,
the -lorn young woman re-
ceived the title of one of the no
blest houses in the Kingdom Of
Poland and the elegant person Of
the Count. The marriage for this
sort Of an affair, was not unhappy
until the panic came, destroying
the fathers entirefortune almost in
day. The count and countess
we're in Paris when the news
came. The Count merely shrug-
ged his shoulders, bade the moth
er of his children the politest of
adieus, and that evening was seen
at the opera in the most mAgnih-
cent style. The contract being
broken, and the 5000 annuity
impossible, he held the marriage
at an end.

Give me back my mVsket, and
I'll be content.
The Marquis then proposed to
promote him, but he refused pro-
motion, saying: have abilities
suited to my present rank, and
have good character; Ihould be
invested with command l may not
act so well, and thus lose my char
acter. But if you will give my
poor comrades shoes, stockings,
and warm clothing you will greatly
oblige me, sir; the poor fellows

Charley was one of those to
whom these States are indebted
for their liberty, who had not a
particle of vanity in their compo-
sition, who started from obscurity
into the blaze of renown by the
sudden performance of some ex-
traordinary action, which was nec-
essary to the success of the cause,
and then hid themselves in the
shade, fell back into obscurity, and
trod the beaten path of unrecord-
ed duty, negligent of glory, and
oblivious of their danger. In a
word, Charley did his duty as a
frank, honest, faithful soldier-did
it by night as well as by day, IL
the absence as well as in the pres
ence of his officer; never missed
his aim, and never hreda shot that
was not necessary. a 4IyaI

FASHION NOTES.

Everything, to jaunty and sty-
lish, has a ribbon fastened to it in
one way or another.
1t is thought about $4,000 New
Workers will spend the summer in
Europe.
The fashionable glove for gen
tlemen have two buttons.
Russia leather and velvet bags
and belts for use in travelling are
again quite popular.
A dark, deep blue silk is very
much us ed for underdresses and
trimmings of new costumes.
\ The fashionable ribbon of the
season is called the Brocads silk
lanpas," and comes in a variety
of colors.
Plain round waists are entirely
out Of costume with style, and q
polonaise is known to have been
made last year.
Some new all wool dresses are
trimmed with rows of Titan braid
edged with crimped and tassel
fringe.
Wicker baskets, containing q
dress and long linen duster TO be
used in travelling, are sold in the
New York furnishing stores.
A dress having the neck cut in
v shape should have the edge I'm
ished with lace rufle, while the
throat should be covered with
white tulle.
Travelling dresses are made as
simple as possible, for in any case
they soon get draggled and worn,
and any superhous trimmings
gives them a still more shabby ap-
pearance.
| The pretty soft neckties now in
use, are sometimes made to serve
double purposes, BY twisting as a
scarf around the crown Of . hat
when the color Of a costume worn
makes q change desirable. asai

The Signers Of the Declaration Of
Independence.

They lived in fierce and stormy times,
When might, with savage hand,
Was rais'd to strike with all its strength
Our weak and struggling land.
Bravely within the breach they stood,
Between our land and those
Who came to drench that land in blood,
Our faithless English foes.
A price was on each patriots head,
The bloodhounds on their track;
Fearless and firm they journeyed on, p
Nor turned nor faltered back.
They saw the foeman's ordered lines
In savage fury come;
They quailed not from bis rude EN-,
brace,
But frmer grasped the gun.
o! peerless name Of jefferson,
Grand was thy noble soul,
Thy name within our hearts shall live
While earth and ocean roll
Hancock, Carroll, Franklin, Read,
Lynch, Livingston and Lee,
With willing hearts we give the need
OF deathless fame to ye.
And all who bore brave mans part,
And boldly dared to sign
Tn immortal scroll hatswept away
The tyrant's A" right divine -
That struck th'blood-dyed robbers dowr
With fierce avenging hand,
And from the despot's iron grasp
Redeemed our glorious land.
They rose, and to the world proclaimed
God made the nations free,
And that to Freedoms God alone
Should freemen bend the knee.
They babe the captive slave look up,
Free 'mong his fellow-men,
And wrote th'words that burst his bond
With Freedoms fearless pen.
What Is the conqueror's CORY wreath,
Or kings imperial crownP
I They tell ofbondage, blood, and death
OF freedom trampled down;
They tell Of nations overthrown,
ofdark, unholy wars
Twas theirs to raise a nation up
To soar amid the stars.
Twas not to gain the worlds applause
Nor win the wreath of fame,
They fought and stood for freedom
cause,
Nor glory, greed nor gain,
They saw the English despot forge
The links to bind their land
They spoke, and freedoms lightning
sword
Flashed in each freemans hand.
Their voice rung DER the mountain top
And pierced the valleys shade
The slave gazed upward to the sun,
And grasped the ready blade.
From the darkdepths ofslavery's gloon
A nation leaped to light,
Braved the fierce wrath Of Englandl
King
And dared him to the fight.
Their stubborn knees refused to bend
In reverence TO a throne,
And seorned the servile vassalage
That serfs and courtiers own.
And well throughout the maddenins
strife
They held their onward way,
Until their flag with victory shone
In freedoms blessed ray.
Green be their names and memories
Through every changing year,
And may their children ever guard
The prize they bought so dear,
And should the English foe again
Invade our peaceful shore,
May every son Of freedom do
As did our sires Of yore.
