THE WORTH OF ONE.
BY MRS. c. NJ. FAIRCHILD.

Should but one, with grieying breath,
Whisper to me, nearing death;
dearest, have better grown
Since thy counsel / have known;
All my life will nobler shine
Since learned to look at thine
Should these words the silence thrill
/ could pass, serene and still.
Should but one beside me stand,
Clasping my cold. pulseless hand,
Should but one for love OF me
Weep the tears | could not see
Should but one bend down to press
Ny pale lips, with loves caress-
could 90, with joy, alone
From this TO realm unknown.
Should but one, while years 90 by,
Train the wild-rOse shrubbery
Underneath which, still and low,
My pale semblance molders slow,
Should but one his offering bear
Flower or bud or falling tear
Where in realm or reach Of bliss
Would be happier soul than this?
Should but one remember me,
As the varying seasons flee,
Should he hail each night, each morn,
With soft Impotence, born
OF desire my soul to meet
Where tn imperfect grows complete,
Should nay memory be his star,
Happier than angels are.
Then this waif, Of fearful birth,
Seeming now Of little worth,
Risen to the wondrous sense
Or life's gift, its recompense
For the errors Of the years
Clouded by the mlsts Of tears,
In its sphere Of light would shine
Where the early grows divine.

my friend a bright-eyed young matron, as

81 am glad you are satisfied was the Ia
comic answer.
1t was quite evident by the expression of
the dressmaker's face that she had formed
her own opinion about my friends husband
and was quite competent TO form and express
an opinion on any subject.
Miss Kent was little woman, as fair as

ashamed TO own that she was forty years old
and an old maid. She had earned her own
living most Of her lite and was proud of it

When Governor Tildcn and other respecta-
BILE democrats were endeavoring, in the spring
of 1870, to drive Tweed, Sweeney and Con
molly out of Tammany Hail, the only paper
that sustained the ring was Brick Pome.
rows Democrat Tweed telegraphed for
|" Brick" TO come home from Richmond, Va,
where he was on lecturing tour. Upon his
return he went 10 work for the ring, expect
ing, as a reward. TO get the nomination for
Congress from Morrissey's old district, but
he was disappointed. The trouble with
Brick" Pomeroy Is that while he was in New
York he played into everybody's hands who
would pay him, and after the expose of the
Tweed ring he endeavored 10 work into the
lcuntidence of Governor Tilden, HOratio Sey
mour and other prominent leaders. In this
he vas unsuccessful, as his previous career
was too well known.
While Nh. Tilden was in the legislature b,
Opposed the payment Of large amount o
fraudulent newspaper claims against the city
iof New York Among them was one at Pom
crows which amounted to nearly one hundred
Thousand dollars. As only very small po'
ltion of that amount was due, Mr.. Ttlden op
posed the fraud, which accounts for Brick s

But one look Of kindness

BY focmen and strangers,
