GINGER.


My editor told me to bring,
when last he met me,
A poem but | must sing
On the subject set me.
And my poor little muse, 'twould seem,
Is compelled TO hinge her
Light rhymes on picking theme
He has chosen-Ginger.
lain would sing OF a maid
Than whom who's fairer 2
Rose cheeks, too bright to fade,
Blue eyes and hair-er-
By Jove, 1 will do it, too;
For gold lights tinge her
Locks, which were else the shade
of-Jamaica Ginger.
Her face is like to the May
For sun and shadow:
Her eyes drive wrath away
From the earth half mad o.
Yer wounds made by lips all too sweet
Fen when they SINCE her
Lovers wis lie at her feet
With touch of-Ginger.
Life lights in lip and eye
Defiant laughter
If grief win half sigh,
Quick joy smiles after:
And whatever mischance NAV han.
what pang or twinge, her
Spirit will keepits snap
She's full of-Ginger.
In her eyes if the CLEAN ofjoy
Were made more tender
BY some sweet grief's alloy,
Could hope to bend her &?
Ii as clouds in a kiss divine
On clouds impinge, her
Lips questioned with mine,
Would she give me-Ginger,
All were Aphrodite's so sweet
As my loves kisses
The fond wind flies to meet
Its too much, this is?
Your theme on my rights, Mr.. Ed,
Shall not infringe her
Alone will Using to WOO, wed
And wear her-by Ginger.

Is IL not strange that where a chance

No blushing brow, nor meaning glance
May summon back from MemOrys shore
The loving words Oft had spoke,
The loRiy whisper yOH had breathed
Ere, ruthlessiY, the charm vas broke
And all our future, once enwreathed
With isirest hopes, became q blank

And eilded airy castles sank

That God should bless our hearted vow,

That We may yet, despite the past,

A Fearful Disaster.

ST.. LOUIS, April ll.--At l.30 O'Clock
this morning the Southern Hotel was
discovered to be on fire. The flames had
evidently been at work some time.
When the alarm was sounded, which
was no doubt done at the moment of dis
covery, the entire upper portion of the
building was on fire.
Flames were bursting from the roof,
while from the windows flames poured
forth in dense volumes. Alarm after
alarm was sounded, bringing out the en-
tire force of engines to the scene.
The gpeat height of the building six
stories, rendered the invaded portion ex-
tremely difficult of access by the firemen
who worked under serious disadvantage.
The scene which presented itself when
a reporter arrived on the ground fairly
beggars description and cannot be fairly
presented with all its horrors.
The greater number OF rooms on the
upper floors were occupied by perma-

Daring Bank Robbery in New York.

The New York Times of eth inst,
says: The premises occupied by the
Sixth National Bank situated in Thirty
fifth street, at the junction of Broadway
and Sixth avenue, were yesterday the
scene of an ingeniously planned and
most boldly executed robbery. Atabout
4 o'clock in the afternoon, while officer
Trip, of the Twenty-ninth precinct,
was passing the bank building he was
astonished, on looking through the
window, to see one of the doors of a safe
lying on the floor, surrounded by dis
ordered litter of burglars tools.
On looking at the basement he dis
covered that the door was open, and on
entering discovered large hole through
the ceiling near the broken safe, from
which he ascertained, upon further in
vestigation, $4,000 in silver coin had
been taken. The burglars gained en-
trance to the basement by jimmies, and
coolly pried the safe open in daylight.
A Times reporter called last evening
on MIR. Francis Leland, the president of
the bank, at his residence, No. l West
Thirty-seventh street. The gentleman
expressed the opinion that the robbery
had been planned as long as a month
ago, and that it had been committed by
persons who had applied at that time
for the use of the unoccupied basement,
but had been refused on account of their
suspicious appearance. The silver sto-
len could not, he claimed have been car
ried away by less than five men, owing
to its weight.
