Two Kisses.

And Soy if I should give a kiss"
The maiden said, What good to me
Would come from it? !" "You would n,
miss
So small g boom" said he;
"And when I sail DER far of seas,
Its sweetness will a great joy bring;
And every low or ringing breeze
Will Of your kindness sing"
"Ah, men oft say such words, you know,
And then 90 wandering away .
Where sweeter flowers bud and blow,
And there forever stay.
What bond nave I that you will not,
When you are far beyond the sea,
And have my one poor gift forgot,
Find lips will sweetor be-"
His eyes lent down to meet her gaze,
And claspipg firm her small white hands,
He said: Love ne'er the traitor plays
In any seas or lands:
And all tue bond that l can give,
ID a love strong, and true, and brave;
love that through esrth's life will live,
And rass beyond the grave"
Then take your kiss" she WHISPERED low,
And mingled were brown hair and gold,
And as the minutes swiftly SO,
Loves vows as swift were told.
The morning saw his ships white sails
Shine out beyond the ripping bay,
And fast before the growing gales
She winged her trsckless way.
And in the watches Of the night,
And where the tropic isles lay sweet
With spicy breath and waters bright
The bending boughs would meet,
He felt her warm lips on his own;
No eyes we're bright, no face was fair
That did not toll other alone,
All times and everywhere.
She watched his ship sail up the bay,
She heard his footsteps at the gate,
And half afraid did lingering stay
Beside the glowing crate.
The autumn twilight tild the room
With shadows vague, but his clear eyes
Shine truthiully in the half gloom,
All doub: from her soul flies.
dear love-" he said, II bring to you
Lips that still hold loves signet, cot
There by your own, sweet. lam true,
I could not you forget
Unasked her lips were raised to his,
Her little hands chung to his OWL,
And her sweet, thrilling Welcome kiss
Told she wa bis alone.

JOHN CARPENTER, THE NEGRO CATTLE
THIEF, ARRESTED NEAR CHESTER.
John Carpenter, noted Negro cattle
thief, who was fast becoming terror
to the farmers of Brandywine Hundred,
on account of his depredations, was ar
rested at Lamokin, Pa, ON Saturday,
and is now confined the City Hall
cells.
Johns depredations may be related
as follows: One COW from J. Conoway,
one COW from Sam'l Logan; one COW
twice from Jesse sharp; the rascal
actually stealing 1t again after it had
been recovered; one horse from Mr..
Bonsall all of Brandywine Hundred;
also, seven ice-cream freezers, from
CLas. Kyle of this city. Mr.. Bonsall's
horse ana Mr.. Logan's COW were sold
to Mr., Yetter,of Toughkenamon, Pa,
and afterwards recovered. The con.
summate rascal took one of the stolen
COWS to Lamokin, Pa, and kept it in
the woods. At the station he rented
little shanty and sold milk and cream,
using for his business some milk cans
stolen from Chester county farmer.

GERS, who had been looking for John,
arrested him, and confiened him in the
Chester lookup. This morning he was
brought to Wilmington, and will be

fore the Pennsylvania authorities deal

Constable Woodward had been after
Carpenter for several weeks, but after
tracing him over Chester and Della
ware counties lost track of him in
Philadelphia, He, however, put the
Chester policemen on the lookout, and
they nabbed John Saturday afternoon,
and brought him to Wilmington, this
morning. Carpenter had an immediate
hearing before Esquire Brady, ON the
charge of stealing Mr.. Conoway's cow
and was committed in default of $500
bail for appearance at Court. He will
have another hearing this evening,
when all parties from whom he has
stolen should appear against him. Car
penter is an old offender, and has been

L{rPr and HfO0d Diseases

BY X. V. PIERCE, NJ. d., author of "rhe
People Common Sense Medical Adviser. :"
A healthy liver secretes each day about
two and half pounds of bile, which
contains a great amount of waste ina :
teiial taken from the blood. When the
liver becomes torpid or congested, it
fails to eliminate this vast amount of
noxious substance, which, therefore, re
mains to poison the blood, and be con.
veyed to every part of the system. What
must be the condition of the blood when
it is receiving and retaining each day two
and u half pounds of poison? Nature
tries to work off this poison through
other channels and organs-the kidneys.
lungs, skin, etc, Tut these organs become
overtaxed in performing this labor in ad.
dition to their natural functions, and
cannot long withstand the pressure, but
become variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great electrical
center OF all vitality, is undaly stimu.
lated by the unhealthy blood which pas.
ses to it from the heat, and it fails tc
perform its office healthily. Hence the
symptoms of bile poisoning, which are
dullness, headache. incapacity to keer
the mind on any subject, impairment
OF memory, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous
feelings, gloomy forebodings, and irrita
bility of temper. The blood itself being
diseased as 1T forms the sweat upon the
surface of the skin, it is so irritating
and poisonous that il produces dlscolsrec
brown spots, pinples, blotches. and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles, and
scrofulous tumors. The stomach, bow.
els and other organs, cannot escape be-
coming afflicted, sooner or later, and We
have, as the relult, costiveness, piles
dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea. Other
symptoms are common, as bitter or bad
taste in mouth, internal heat, palpitation
teasing cough, unsteady appetite, choking
sensation in threat, bloating of stomach
pain in sides or about shoulders or back

ANOTHER CASUALTY.

MAN KILLED AT THE p, W. Il b. r.. R. DE-
Por, BY JUMPING FROM MOVING TRAIN.
As the 9:45 train from Philadelphia
drew up to the Wilmington depot, at 10
minutes past IL o'clock, Saturday night,
q man named James A. M. Fraser jump
ed from the car platform before the cars
had entirely stopped. As his feet struck
the ground they encountered some Oh
strdction, which caused him to clip and
fall. His legs We're forced upon the
track, and two car wheels passed over
them, crushing them both nearly off, the
right one below and the left one above
the knee. The train was moving go
slowly at the time that it stopped when
the two wheels had passed over the un-
fortunate mans limbs.
Fraser was Immediately carried into
one Of the depot offices, and furnished
with the required surgical attendance by
Drs. Kane, West and Draper. But his
injuries were Of a fatal character, and he
died about 3 clock, Sunday morning.
At 8 o'clock Deputy coroner Groves
i.eld an inquest, and the jury rendered a
| verdict in accordance with the circum-
stances of the accident.
Fraser formerly lived in Wilmington,
and at one time kept grocery store at
Sixth and Orange streets. He was also a
clerk TO- Buckingham & Co., grocers, and
had charge of their produce stand in the
Third street market. Recently he re-
moved to Philadelphia, having obtained
a situation in one Of the Centennial
buildings. He was about27 years of age,
and leaves wife and one child in Phila.
aelphia.
After his death, the body of Fraser was
removed to the residence of his uncle
VIM. Watt, No. 1909 Market street, from
which place it will be inferred.
| At the time of his death the rpfortu.
nate man was coming to Wilmington fo,
the purpose of visiting his sister, Miss
Elizabeth ID. Fraser, principal Of No.
School. The brother and sister were the
only members Of the family in this coun
try, the others living in Scr tland. They
were greatly attached to each other, anc
the sad affair was a terrible blow to tn,
sister, who is well-nigh crazed by hel
