4 Lovers Quarrel.

You will find inclosed with this note Of mine,
Your letters and gifts in their order set
have kept, as you see, not single line
To recall what now would fsin forget.
Your picture-I never liked the pose
The ring and chain, and the rest, you know,
have placed with care, for, indeed, who knows
But another will prize Well, let it go
80 snaps in a moment the chain that bound.
Oh, better, no doubt, to end it thus
Than find, too late, as We must have found,
That chance alone had united US.
You can throw, if you choose, the blame on me,
As it always comforts man to do
No matter enough il can see
That the fault Of our quarrel rests with you.
Let US never meet-it is better 30;
For, after all, being only human,
Ifeel to the heart-not angry, no,
Not angry, but still-an injured woman.
P. Son the whole as our letters might
Stray to some other than you and me,
For just this once will meet you tonight,
At the usual time, by the sycamore tree.
send you here, together with this,
Your letters you asked for back again,
And pardon it if luckless kiss
Has blotted the pages now and then.
The curl Of your hair, the glove you wore,
The mignonette-take back the whole,
Aud with them the faith that once bore,
The love aud trust Of q mans whole soul.
The plst-is there augh. remains behind?
The future-what hope have you left me
there?
If go to the deuce Bat never mind
sco-n to threstsn, to rave and swear.
No, no. be happy, as women will
Before the kiss on their lips is cold
That pledges them to another, still
In the new love lightly forgetting the old.
Yes, ell is over between us low
Ineyer sha]l look On your face again
So 20 your way with your broken vow,
Aud think no more of-a desperate man.
P. Sin order that you may zee

On second thoughts, to the sycamore tree
Twill bring them myself at the usual hour.
III.
They have met to utter their last good-byes ;
And there by the sycamore tree they stand
Gazing each in the others eyes,
Holding each to the others hand.
The letters lie on the mossy seat
Ring and picture, curl and glove;
While the doubly perjured lips repeat
The oft-told tale Of chaDgeless love;
Aud over their heads the star Of even
Twnkles down through the sycamore boughs,
Laughing, rerchsnce, as the hosts OF heaven
May laugh, to listen to lovers VOWS.

4 LAWYER OUTWITTED.

4 similar case to that of the Presby-
terrain Clergyman commemorated in the
Editors Drawer of the January Harper's
occurred in q Massachusetts town of
high repute quite a number Of years ago
The town, now city, contained high
school, according to law. A teacher
WAS employed, at certain salary, by
the year. After a while his services
were not found satisfactory to the school
committee, and their chairman a smooth
spoken member of the legal profession,
was deputed to perform the ungracious
task Of informing the master of the state
of the case. After the settlement of
preliminaries, the point was reached and
the propriety of the masters resigna-
ton was automatically and politely sug-
gested. The incumbent, if not qualified
to teach such school, was shrewd
Yankee. He expressed his willingness
to leave SO readily that the committee
man became uncommonly gracious at
the success OF his mission. s'But, said
the worthy pedagogue, ''if my services
are not satisfactory here, they may be
in some other place; and as I must get
my living, I presume you will give me a
recommendation -
Certainly" replied the committee
man, thinking only OF relieving his own
town of an inefficient instructor and
accordingly drew up the paper on The
spot.
The master read it and found it high
" satisfactory.
land now," said he, glancing keenly
at his employer, upon this recommen-
dation / am so well fitted to teach, I
will thank you to pay lie the rest of my
salary for the unexpired half year.
The lawyer was caught, and the money
was paid.

STOLEN CHILD WHOSE PARENT
AGE IS HIDDEN IN MYSTERY.

The Fayetteville (Ark.l Democrat
says From Gen. n. B. Pearce, who
recently made visit to Crawford Coun-
ty, we get the following particulars of
child being stolen by q eleral soldier
during tie war. which up to this time
has never been restored to its parents.
Gen. Pearce obtained these particulars
from NJ. A. G. Burgess, who resides on
Lees Creek in Crawford County, and
who has the child III charge.
The Federal soldier who stole the
| child was named Frederick Kabier, of
Clay County, Illinois. who left Illinois
| in 1868, and went to Missouri Kabler
represented that he found the child in
Chattanooga, Tenn. that it came to him
| while on guard, and that he took her
with him. after the war, TO Clay County
! III. Kabler says that the child was not
over two years old and that her name 10

of her-when Mr.. and Mrs. A. G.
| Burgess requested that the child be Civ
en- into their care, and they raised her.
She is now apparently about thirteen
years of age, has blue eyes, red hair,
regular but small features, and rather
pretty.
It is the opinion of Mr.. Burgess that
Kabler has not told the truth, as the
child says she lived not in q
town, but at place where there
was only one house. Mrs. B.
thinks that the child was stolen by K.
from near Nashville, Tenn. The child
seems to think that she was an only
child when small she talked "a good
deal about an aunt who lived over the
river. She also says that soldiers came
to their house, took off her pa and she
has never seen him since
Wesley Cashmen wrote from Nashville
relative to the child, supposing it to be

in Clay County, H.. kept the child
awhile, and his daughter seems to know
something of her history from her
statements. The smallest dress was OF
calico, smail-fgured and purple color,
supposed to have been worn by her
when she was stolen.

its duration of severity. In despair
he returned home and has resided on
his farm, a distance of II miles from
the place from which I write, and there
he lives now.
The sum and substance of tho VIII ole
is this I: Here is a mPn, healthy, hearty
and stout, who was sudd enly taken with
commissions on the 18th OF November,
1853, which lasted until on or about the
29th. Every year for eighteen years he
has been similarly attacked. Medicines
are OF no avail whatever. He is as
healthy and strong as ever, and entirely
well with the exception of these attacks.
His commissions are terrible to witness ;
nothing like them has ever before been
seen, and perhaps never viii. He ex-
periences no pain Will hey are upon
him, is perfectly consci Gus all the time,
knows what is going on, but cannot pre-
vent it.
And now the question arises, what
ais him ? The superstitiously inclined
attribute 1t to the DEVIL Vaccinations,
and firmly believe that the man is YER
ably possessed or Influenced by His
Satanic Majesty. If this theory is cor
rect, If the devil is permitted to ramble
around this sublunary orb, tossing peo-
pie on their heads and turning them
inside out, it is the humble opinion of
your correspondent, as also of the peo-
pie of this section, that the cloven-foot-
ed individual can work to better advan-
tage and find better material to work
with in some other place. I repeat that
this mysterious story is true in every
detail. The people of Springfield are
personally conversant with the facts, and
I am privileged 10 refer to numerous
persons Of this locality, some of whom
have witnessed Fir. Hutchinson's con-
tortions when the esprit was at work
in confederation. There can be no pos
sibIe daubt as to the authenticity OF the
tale, incredible though it may appear tc
many.

A KINDRED TIE.

| One was q lame woman. One nmpeQ
and she carried cane, and it was natur-
al to infer that she Was lame. She en-
tered the Twenty-second Street depot to
wait for a train, and was closely followed
by lame man. He had stiff knee,
and ne also carried q cane. Two lame
persons are no great sight in big cities.
Lame men and women limp their lame
way up and down Manhattan Island
every day, and few people ever remark
them.
Tho lame woman took seat, and
after e little while she WAS joined by the
lame man. He wore q brigh5 smile,
and as he dropped down cheerfuily
remarked
''Quite a coincidence.
She made no reply. She was. ugly
looking, but she locked him over and
made up her mind that she would go
and hang herself if she looked as home
ly as he did.
81 am lame and you are lame" con-
| tlnued the man.
"Who are you talking to sir % she
demanded, giving him contemptuous
look.

claimed, flushing very red.
