Two Letters.

Ills.
If YOU were dead and in some silent valley
a red wild rose We're blooming on your grave,
In some lone fen where idle breezes daily
And somberly green willow branches wave,
With willing feet oft would stand above you,
And with sad eyes YOUR moss grown name spell out
Thinking that once each said to each 81 love you,'
In those far days before we cared TO doubt.
But no, You are not dead; the world ,dores you,
kneeS at your feet and calls your face divine;
Praises your beauty, Worshps till it bOres you,
Knows not and cares not that you once were mine
Edith, care not that your blood is flowing
IN splendid radient cheek or dainty wrist;
That on your supple throat there still is glowing
quecnly col of pearl and amethyst;
Our love is dead, so you are dead thrice over,
Though on your face have dropped no mourner;
tears.
And you and I, who once were maid and lover,
Are farther sundered than the 1arthest spheres.
But stars and spheres
Oh what silly letter
\ plain and prosy man Will sometimes write.
I'm sentimental and you can't do better
Than laugh at me, once more, with all your might
The fact, you see, is this | can't forget you;
In all our quarrel alone was wrong;
And l've been blue enough since last met you,
month ago. it seems ten times as long.
Oh! Edith, could only go and see you,
And tell You all the things want to say!
/ cannot give you up; will not free you
love You, Edith. May come to-day:
Why, Tom, dear Tom, OF course you may
You see call You Tom again;
SO please come over, right away,
You oldest, truest, best of men,
To tell the truth, Ive pitied you,
And you've, most likely, pitied me
But then, you know, il wouldn't do
10 let the world my pity see,
I GU men, of course, are very wise
And think you know woman's heart.
But bats and owls have brighter eyes
Than you to understand her art
\ u were Just hateful, though that nigh,
But Pm afraid made you So
Tom, drop our quarrel ont of sight
Forgive, forget, and let ie go.
Wei, Tom, I'll not write any more,
Although, indeed, Eve much to say:
Ny music masters at the door,
SO at retolr, and come today.

After Years.

Where once we walked together
| walked again to-day,
And Il shadow from beside me
Went with me all the way:
A hand that was white and slender
He'd mine in close embrace,
And eyes that were true and tender
Vi ere lifted to lily face.
Yet mine We're the only footsteps
That rustled in the leaves,
For the other form was airy
As the mist that twilight weavts
And never word was spoken,
And never ii whisper heard,
But thrill, like a strain of music,
Through all my being stirred;
And down in my heart an echo
Went singing to and fro,
And the words it breathed had in them
4 tone of long ago
OF a time when the summer sunset
Empurpled all tie land
And adown the shady vistas
We wandered, hand in hand,
With never thought of sorrow
And never dream OF fears.
All. little we guessed the burden
OF all the coming years
Or that, over mystic river
! should stretch my empty hands,
And only the waves could answer
As they whispered to the sands,
But at last, from out the silence,
| have now sweet reply;
When the sunset gold and crimson
Fades from out the western sky.
Then presence walks beside me,
And a voice within my heart
Murmurs, They who love so truly
Even that river cannot part

Centaur

The Quickest, Surest & Cheap
est Remedies.

Physicians recommend, and Farriers declare that
such remedies have before been in use.
Words cheap, but the PROJECTORS of these arti-
Giles will present trial bottles to medical men, gratis,
as a guarantee of what they say
The Centaur Liniment, White Wrapper,
will cure Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Scia-
tica, Caked Breasts, Sore Nipples, Frosted Feet.
Chillbains Swellings, Sprains, and any ordinary
FLESH, BONE OR MUSCLE AILMENT.
We make no pretense that this article will cure
Cancer, restore lost bones, give health to whis
key soaked carcass. But it will always reduce in
lammation and alay pain.
1t will extract the poison of bites and stfngs, and
heal burns or scalds without scar. Palsy,
Weak Back, Caked Breasts, Earache, Toothache,
Itch and Cutaneous Eruptions readily yield to its
treatment.
"My wife has had rheumatism for five years-no
rest, no sleep-cOud scarcely walk the floor.
She is now completely cured by the use of Centaur
Linimert We all feel thankful to you and recon-
mend your wonderful medicine to all our friends"
James Hurd, of GAINESVILLE, O., says: "The Cen

Alferd Tush, of Newark, writes; "send Inc one

my leg. L want to distribute it, &c."
he sale of this Liniment is increasing rapidly
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is for the tough skin, flesh and muscles of
HORSES MULES AND ANIMALS.
We have never yet seen case OF SPAWN, Sweeny,
Ring bone, Wind gall, Scratches or Poll Evil which
this Liniment would not speedily benefit, and we
never saw but few cases which IL would not
cure. Il will cure when anything can. 1t is
folly to spend 500 for Farrier, when one dollars
worth of Centaur Liniment will do better. The fol-
lowing is sample of the testimony produced:
W, Z. Hopkins, Postmaster, Piqua, O., says;
"Centaur Liniment can't be beat. 1t cures every
time"
"YELvERToN, O., March ,, 1874.

Of Character.
Scott Received the Purport of the Dispatch
under Suspicious Circumstances AT
Whose Dctatlon the Cable Was
Sent Appears Not.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.--rhe Judi
ciary committee this morning exam
ined Colonel Thomas A, Scott, through
Mr.. Knott, In relation 20 the Caldwell
telegram, Ito testified that he sent
the dispatch to j. IL. Caldwell, ON the
3lst of May thanking him for endors-
ing his evidence before the committee.
He knew nothing about two messages
sent to Caldwell from Philadelphia,
excepting that the young man who
said his name was Reed, representing
himselfa as u private secretary TO Cald-
well, called upon witness and showed
him u copy of the dispatch which he
desired 10 send to Caldwell, which
would cost about one hundred dollars
Ia gold, and asked witness to aid him
in sending It. Witness declined 20 do
IL, and Reed said he would cut down
the dispatch and send II himself. The
dispatch alluded to was similar to the
one received 10y Knott from Caldwell,
but witness did not think Il WAS
In the exact words. This testl.
mony is in harmony with the state
ment contained in Reeds letter Ia New
York, which he read this morning.
Witness had never seen Reed before
that time aud only once since. Wit
ness was little suspicious about the
dispatch, which he himself received
from Caldwell and sent over to the
telegraph Office to have 1t verified,
and there learned that II was u genuine
dispatch osbled from London. Wit
ness knew nothing Of Reed or his
whereabouts except that which he had
stated. Witness identified his own
signature to the letter containing q
statement Of this matter received by
Knott on Wednesday last.
The following dispatch, dated Now
York, June 20, Is the one referred Ia
IN Colonel SCOTS testimony: james
c. Reed publishes II letter to-day, an.
nouneiug himself as the author Of the
famous "Favo" dispatch to Josiah
Caldwell, and states that In sending IL
he used the ordinary business word
from motive of economy, not Sc
cresy, "Favo" being the code word for
the name and address of Reed y C6ld-
well. Reed says he does not know
how Blaine learned thst Caldwell had
cabled the Judiciary Committee, but
he learns now for the first time Of Its
origin, Reed says three years age
Caldwell was n confidential clerk, but
to-day is simply his friend. y
