PARSON KELLY.

| 4A4bSON Ao4A1'
Old Parson Kelly's fair young wife, Irene.
| Died when but three months wed,
And no new love has ever come between
| His true heart and the dead,
Though now for sixty years the grass has grown
| Upon her grave, and on its simple stone
The moss
| And yellow lichens creep her name across.
| Outside the door, in the warm summer air,
The old man sits for hours.
The idle wind, that stirs his silver hair,
Is sweet with June's first flowers;
But dullhs mind, and clouded with the haze
OF life's last weary, gray November days;
The past and present look alike to him.
The sunny scene around, confused and blurred,
The twitter of the birds,
Blend in his mind with voices long since heard
Glad childhood's careless words
Oldhymns and Scripture texts; while indistinct
Yet strong. thought with all fair things is linked
The bride
OF his lost youth is ever by his side.
By its sweet weight of snowy blossoms bowed,
The rose-tree branch hangs low,
And in the sunshine, like feecy cloud,
Swaps softly to and fro.
"Oh, is it YOUR the old man asks; "IreneI'
And smiles, and fancies that her face he's seen
Beneath
The opening roses of a bridal wreath!
Down from the gambrel roof white dove fits,
The sunshine on its wings,
And lighting close to where the dreamer SITS
vision with it brings
golden CLEAN from some long vanished day.
Dear love-" he calls ;then, "Why will you not stay?'
He signs,
For, athis voice. the bird looks up and flies!
Oh, constant heart! whose failing thoughts cling
fast
To one long laid in DUST
Still seeing turned to thine, as in the past,
Herlook of perfect trust,
Her soft voice hearing in the south winds breath
Dream on! Love pure as thine shall outlive death
And when
The gates unfold, her eyes meet thine again!
Marion Douglas.

IT is always best to leave the progress of
religion entirely to example, to argument,
and to efforts disassociated from the power
of the civil arm; since men will be found
to embrace truth for it's own sake, though
they will scornfully repel it it thrust upon
by Others.-Wood.

IDLENEss is the badge of gentry, the
bane of body and mind, the nurse of
naughtiness, the stepmother of discipline,
the chief author of all mischief, one of the
seven deadly sins, the cushion upon which
the devil chiefly reposes, and great cause
not only of melancholy, but Of many other
diseases; for the mind is naturally active,
and if it be not occupied by some honest
business, it PUSHES into mischief or sinks
into NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

New REMEDY FOR TooTHACHE.-Dr

Life" says that those familiar insects, Ia

this fluid that they owe their property of
curing the most violent toothache when
they are placed alive on the hollow part of
the tooth.

MULLIGAN IN WASHINGTON.
Declining to Make any statement Except
before tho Committee.

WAsHINGToN, June IL james Mulligan,
tion. arrived here this afternoon from Boston
direct, 10 obedience to a telegram from the Ju-
dietary Committee. Mullean very decidedly
declines to answer any questions In relation to
the Blaine letters, saying that he has not yet
been discharged by the committee; and that
whatever he may say upon that subject will be
given before the committee alone. He says he
came here not OF his own accord, but In obe-
dicnce to summons. He is not one OF those
fellows who desire such notoriety, and has
not freely engaged In this business. He de-
sires only to truthfully answer such questions as
are asked him by the committee, and will vol
unteer nothing. He says when here before he
refused to say ANYTHING either to MIR. Blaine or
any one else in relation to the subject before
being called before the committee, and will not
do 20 now.
In relation to the published letters, he says he
has no evidence that they were published as
read, adding that his own statements before the
committee were not truthfully reported. All
reported interviews with him and all reported
public expressions OF opinion by him he de-
clares are totally false. He says he has a con-
science, and respects It, He his no feel
Ing 10 the matter, and regrets very much
being compelled to leave his private business
and come to Washington. He spoke OF the
reports as to his religious opinions, and said he
was born and bred Presbyterian, and none
Knew II better than Mr. Blaine, who had known
him Tor thirty-hve years. He first heard OF Nj.
OF II with great sprr0w. He would go before
the committee tomorrow, but did not desire to
be examined unless Mr.. Blaine was present. He
mad no doubt but that the committee would
postpone the Investigation until Mr.. Blaine's
recovery, but ho was in their hands, and would
OF course do as they directed.

TIE LORD TRIAL.
Asking for Thirty Dnvs' Time TO Make up n
Bin OF Exceptions.

BUFFALO, June 12.-At the afternoon ses-
sion Of the court to-day Geo. ID. Lord appeared,
accompanied by his counsel, the Hon. A. p.
Laning. Mr. Laning desired to present the case
TO a higher court for review, principally on two
important legal propositions, and asked for
thirty days TO make up bill Of exceptions and
a stay OF sentence IN the mean time, to take up
the case by certiorari. The Court said that II
the case be taken up on a writ OF certiorar It
could not be removed from the Supreme Court,
and with a writ of error the court OF iast resort
would be reached. Counsel then asked for a
stay of sentence until the hill of exceptions Is
prepared. and shou they find II necessary they
would apply for writ OF error. The District At
torney said that the Court fully understood the
case, and II was unnecessary for him to suggest
10 the matter.
Judge Daniels then postponed the nnal dispo-
siton OF the case until the 10th OF July at 2
O'Clock. lie said that the request OF the de-
PENDANTS counsel, under the circumstances, was
no, unreasonable, and that n delay until that
time would be of no injury to the interests Of
the public. The Court accordingly adjourned
until July 10. The same tail and security are
still holding,
