THE SONG or LOVES.

Time and chanee move on together:
Passions reer Ike ! wi1l-bloHn feathars
Man will laugh though HEARTS do weep,
And love IL fesla as the weather.
L*s: the old Iowa fall asleep,
sonh1er grown as his grave grows deep:
Meni'Hea that ane past recalling,
It shall have them all to keep.
Borne loves live whi1e the days ara sunny:
AL loves thrive IN the season Of honey;
Love likes best golden cue,
Aud most loves dee with tha flight Of uaonoys
OF with the old then, On with the new;
Ne~ loves grow Is the old lore grew.
With no trial soon befalling,
They uay live day or two
Love to be trua need not be meekest:
Love to be poor reed not be weakest.
Virtues lurk In the quiet breAst,-
So avoid the love that loudly speakeett
Uld lore Or new, that love is best
Famed by lore snd to lore confest;
All loves, though, show wasta appalling
But too Oft 10 the cnetnic test.
Beware the love of blfssfn} seeming;
Ehun tie love Of summer dreaming.
Step where Jou may, you will find graves
With cur shatteted idols teeming.
Alchemy has no power TINT saved
Love from Times encroaehing wave,-
So let us h4ve the new to bind tls;
To aon0 love We are ever slAveN
The lore that gives Il not the Oldest
But the aged love Is loves true golA-dust
Flames may lutk beneath the SNOW,
Bo dercest iovs mAy see1n the eofdests
Sown iu trust, BY trials they grow
These are the loves that few hearts know.
Given the glare Of son,e love to blind ~,
Into such lore it may some day gtowi
Murmur not Of the loves behind us,
Nor Of tito love that proved unkindese.

Last Saturday Mrs. Richmond and two
children reported at the police office as
being in a destitute condition. Mrs.
Richmond had just arrived from Hot
Springs, Ark, and is a cripple probably
for life, being unable TO walk on account
of rheumatism. Chief Athy had her
sent to the City Hospital, but she refuses
to remain there, saying that she had
friends in Memphis who, if they knew
her condition, would assist her. She
kept a clearinghouse at 3l4 Second
street about eight years ago. One Of the
children, aged eight years, was taken
charge Of by Colonel Magevney, and the
other, aged twelve, was taken home by
Chief Athy. The children belong to the
Methodist Church and are DESTROYS Of
being taken charge Of by those control
ing the Orphan Asylum of that denomi-
nation. The two orphans" should be
taken care Of by their friends.

not thwart and set aside the wishes of

not fail to attend. We want the clock,

The Careful


By foregoing the sse Of liquor. or
tobacco for one week can ave sufficient
money to purchase enough coupon
tickets in the Grand Golden Drawing of
the Louisiana State Lottery to secure
him, if lucky" a future competency,
Who would not make such a paltry sacri-
fee for the chance of such desirable
results when there is such a possibility
Aud in this instance there ia such avery
fair one, it is almost criminal not to
make the venture. Every careful house
holder %insures his house-he pays a small
sum every year which, in the event Of a
certain contingency. will be returned
him in a largely augmented amount. In
this instance he initiates the same ex-
ample. In the case Of Lotteries be only
takes advantage Of chance, but with
precisely the same result. He invests a
small sum, which, in event of certain
contingencies, will be returned to him
in the form of independent wealth.
These contingencies eau be readily cal
culated-they are one in six-one prize
to every six tickets; they are $3.50 in
number, and they range from $50 to
100000, all in gold. The cost is a mere
triAe- a twentieth coupon ticket costs
only 81 so, a whole ticket only $50.
Once purchased, the investment requires
neither work, worriment nor watching.
The careful husband will secure this nest
egg in every instsnce, just as he insurss
his house and furniture. At the worst
he can lose only a harmless triAe at
the best; in case good fortune smile upon
him, he a afford after next Christmas
to lay aside his tools and pass the bal
anee of his life in leisure and luxury.

Evils Of Education.

A native gentleman writes to the
Friend Of India from Babar: II asked
an opulent zemindar the other day, Why
don't you educate your son, instead Of
loading him with ornaments as a tempt.
alton to some rufisn to murder him.
With a grave face he told me that his
nephew had learned TO read and write,
and was looked upon as a learned young
man in the village; but he died Of small
pox, and the same coincidence having
occurred in his uncle's family, it is now
settled that once for all that learning in.
our family is inauspicious, and brings ad-
yersity and death. II Is the fact that
pothing will induce any member OF his
family to learn. DO we not see hundreds
Of educated men, added he, absolutely
starving, while ignorant men are enjoy

units . man Of our clan to follow his

Property 10 IsIands and sand.bars,

u
The Supreme Court Of Missouri, in q
recent decision has defined the law con.
corning the ownership OF newly.formed
islands and accretions on rivers:
When the river is net a navigsble
stream-a term that has a strictly defined
legal m~eauing-the riparian owner is
presumed TO own TO the center Of the
stream, his right being subject, however,
to the right Of the public to pass in
boats and RATS along the river. When
an island is formed in the center OF such
q stream, it belongs to. the opposite pro.
prietors; when it is formed nearer to
either shore, it belongs to the proprietor
on that shore.
In a navigabls river like the Missouri,
the case is different. A proprietor does
not own to the thread Of the stream, but
only to the waters edge. If his farm is
EXTENDED by deposits aud accretions into
the river, his ownership is extended too,
the waters edge being still the limit Of
his claim. But a newly formed sand-baI
or island separated from the mainland
by water, does not belong to him
although it be directly opposite his farm.
and very close TO the shore. II belongs
to the United States, and is subject tc
survey and sale by the national govern.
