A POETICAL

The following poem is composed Of quota
lions from thirty-eigbt different authors,
each of the thirty EIGHT lines being a distinct
quotation, as will be seen by reference to the
foot-note appended:
1. Why all this toll for triumphs of an hour!
2. Lifes a short summer, man a flower;
3. Bv turns we catch the vital breath and die
4. The cradle and the tomb, alas! SO nigh.
8. To be is better far than not to be,
6. Though all mans life seems a Tragedy;
Z. But light cares speak, when mighty griefs
s. The bottom is but shallow whence they come.
9. Your fate is but the common fate of all.
10. Unmingled joys here to no man fall.
IL. Nature to each allots his proper sphere,
2.:Fortune makes folly her peculiar care;
10. Custom does not often reason override,
IA. And throw a cruel sunshine on a fool.
Is. Live well-hov long or Short permit 70
I6. They who forgive most shall be most for
given.
Il Sin may be clasped SO close we can not see
its face
Is, Vile intercourse where virtue has not place;
10. Then keep each passion down, however dear,
&c. Thou pendulum betwixt a smile and tear;
81. Her sensual snares let faithless pleasure lay,
p. With craft and skill, to ruin and betray;
%. Soar not too high to fall, but stoop to rise;
"a. We masters grow of all that we despise.
25. Oh, then renounce that impious self esteem
%. Riches have wings, and grandeur is a dreami
81. Think not ambition wise because tits brave
IS. The path of glory leads but to the grave.
%. What's ambition? IT'S a glorious cheat,
80. Only destructive to the brave and great.
81. What's all the gaudy glitter of a CROWN,
81. The way to bliss lies not on beds of down.
33. How long we live, not years, but actions tell
"a. That man lives twice who lives the first life
well.
35. Make, then, while yet you lmay, your God
your friend, a-...
Sc. Whom Christians worship, yet not compre-
bend. .
81. The trust that's given guard, and to yourself
be just,
IS. For, live we how we can die we must. es

A House Torn Down Over a Murderer
who Refuses to Surrender.

Bob Glascott, of the Denver and Rio
Grande Railway, kindly gave a NeUs
reporter a fuller account of the shoot
ing affair at Trinidad than has yet been
made known. 1t appears that Brigade
Ccrdova, the man who was killed, is
the Sheriff, and also is proprietor of a
dance-house. An old Mexican, fam
illarly known by the ~patronymic of
''Uncle Joe," has two daughters be-
tween sixteen and twenty years of age,
who have long been the objects of Cor
dova's admiration. He wanted to get
them to dance in his establishment, and
made repeated attempts 20 influence
them to add their presence to his list of
attractions. The girls were willing to
do as he wished them to, but their OBJ
durate p%aternal progenitor was inclined
to resent the proposal. Yesterday Cor
dova went I'VE to s'Joe's'' house to talk
the matter over, when the old man or
dered him to leave. This the quondam
Sheriff and dance-house keeper declin-
ed to do, in terms perhaps smacking
more of force than of elegance. Joe
repeated his order, and Cordova reiter-
ated some choice" expressions which he
had used, and tried to enter the house,
~whereupon the old man shot him. The
ball was a large one, and entered the
breast OF the victim, passing through
his body. When the affair became
noised abroad, the authorities went af-
ter the irate parent, but he refused to
be taken. Bravery is above par in
trinidad, If any one may form such a
conclusion from the fact that nobody
dared 60 in and get the prisoner after
he had declined to surrender. He was
not taken until after the house had been
about half torn down. 4
There is great excitement over the
event, although public sympathy is
mainly with the man who did the kill
ing.-DenUer Meas.

The Messrs. Sanderson Brothers,
extensive steel manufacturers of Shelf
field, England, announce their inten-
ton of establishing a branch manufac-
tory at Syracuse, n. Y, and if the bust
ness prospers they will make it their
chief mandatory. A large English
cutlery manufacturer is making prep
arations to remove to the United
States. The iron and hardware inter-
ests in England are depressed, and
there have been heavy failures in both
of them.

Miragiia Was admitted" to have acted
with bona tide, and he, too, was declar-
ed 1guiltless before the law. nIhe doc-
tor was fully convicted. The Puollc
Minister demanded, as his sentence,
three years imprisonment-a year 1or
each day during which his Vlctlm was
immured in the asylum-and tnab SEN
tence was pronounced blythe Judge; Dr.
Cosimati appealed, and the term OF I'M
prisonment was reduced to n year.
Not content with this remission or the
sentence, the doctor-always, be 1t re-
marked, enjoying provisional Liberty,
that is, not imprisoned at aH-appi1ed
to the Court of Cessation; but his plea
was rejected. Then he solicited the
Kings mercy; but Signor Vigliani, late
Minister of Justice, refused him that
also. The 18th of March came, and,
with it, the Left to power. The appeal
to the Kings mercy was renewed and
his Majesty was advised to grant It.
Sentence was committed to internement
in a prescribed locality from May to
November-six mouths, as FGntuUG
puts it, of villeggiatura, So much for

long ago, in an English court, by a

Total crop for the year,

The result of these figures is a total
of 4,669,2 6S bales as the crop of the
