THE NEGLECTED POET.

Anonymously published in the Louisville
Journal about 1879.
A poet sat musing one night on his stool,
Pear fool ON his three-egged stool;
The cold wind was high and his cold fire low,
And closer he crouched with sorrowful Oh!
AS silently DER it each little coal drew
Its hood of gray ashes and babe him adieu;
And sad was his musing that night on his
Poor fool, on his th1ee-legged stool.
The snow was descending; he heard now and
then,
Again, ana still now and then,
A little fakes foot stepping spitefully on.
The few Goals as though 1t wished them all
Twas so like the voices of arrogant scorn
Coming angrily down on the meek and for
And sad was his musing that night on his
Poor fool, ON his three-legged stool.
His garnet was open, and through the cracks
And talked-thrsugh every crack walked
The cold. cruel winds, that seemed with a hiss
And laugh to cry out, Here he is, here he is |!
Yet thought he not so much OF cold winds and
AS of man s icy charity, colder than those.
And sad was his musing that night on his
Poor fooll on his three-legged stool.
In sickness and sorroY he suffered alone,
Unknown he bore il all alone,
And often he turned on his pillow to lean
His thin, fevered cheek where the tears hadn't
been!
But, alas, ii was dampened so thoroughly DER,
That at last he lay quiet and worried no more.
All, sad was his musing that night on this
stool,
Poor fool on his three-legged stool.
His sweet songs had moved them, moved
many to tears,
Through years, tojoy and to tears;
But there in his garnet. so cherries and dim,
None ever came near him to shed one for him
All coldly they passed him, to sneer and re-
prove,
For he had no money, and they had no love.
Full sad was his musing that night on his
stool,
Poor fool! on his three-legged stool.
Yet still he continued to tune his great heart
Apart, TO tune his great heart
In unison with the solemn, sad roar
That ever comes up from times sounding
shore;
To brood over nightly, brood over each NOR
row,
Each poor brothers measure of sadness and
sorrow,
And sad was his musing that night on his
stool.

New York Tribunel.

A brutal outrage was perpetrated at Sour
land Mountain, near Bound Brook, N. j.,
last Wednesday evening. The names of all
the parties are withheld by the authorities
in the hope that the persons implicated may
be arrested but the particulars of the affair
are as follows: In a small dwelling located
about half way up the mountain reside a
man and his wife. The woman does not
bear very good reputation, and is charged
with having been too intimate with the hus-
bands of other women. One Of the indig-
nant wives, whose husband had
been led astray, resolved upon re-
venge She employed six young men,
whom she first made drunk, and then gave
them 81 each to execute her plan. The
young men repaired to the house of their
intended victim, and at midnight broke in
the door. The woman and her husband
were in bed, but on hearing the noise,
jumped up, and in their night clothes made
their way to the rear yard, whence the hus-
band made his escape over the fence The
wife remained, however, and was found by
the young ruffians almost frozen in the
snow, and they at once proceeded to tar and
feather her, after which they left her more
dead than alive. The next day they made
the affair public themselves while on a
drunken frolic, and as soon as the necessary
affidavit can be made by the woman they
will probably be taken into custody.

Mr.. Edwin Adams Plays the Part I'm
Real Life, with Variations.
New York World.l

Edwin Adams, the actor, was definitely
announced as dead in most of the New
York papers several weeks ago. Undoubt-
edly there was some mistake about this, be-
cause Mr.. Adams was in San Francisco last
week. He had just returned from Austria
liza, where he had been partly to recover his
health, and, landing late in the evening,
went to one of the leading hotels and regis
tered his name. The clerk read the sigma
ture on the book, glanced at Mr.. Adams,
and smiled. Mr.. Adams had grown beard
while on shipboard, and was become stout
on ship fare.
"Why don't you register property re-
marked the clerk.
what do you mean?' asked Mr.. Adams.
why, L mean write your own name,
was the reply.
81 have said the astonished guest, 81 am
Edwin Adams, the actor"
That's too thin, you know said the
clerk; 81 knew poor Ned Adams but he IS
dead"
''Deadr' shouted the actor
"Yes, dead" was the reply; died in Aus
tralia poor fellow, six weeks ago"
''Oh YOU are mistaken" was the rejoinder;
Il am Ned Adams, and | don't feel partic-
ularly dead. y
Now look here" said the clerk, 'this is
enough of this. Here's the papers reporting
poor Ned's death, and here's the obituary III
the Call and the Alta, and here's the notices
/ cut out of the New York papers"
Mr.. Adams was taken aback. Then the
absurdity of the situation burst upon him,
and be began to laugh. Then he asked il
Bob Witham, an old friend of his, was at the
hotel.
mo, he amt" was the surly reply; "but
here comes Billy Florence, and he knows
Ned Adams"
Mr. Adams rushed up to the distinguished
member from Cohosh, and grasped him
warmly by the hand. Florence gazed in
amazement for minute or two, but as soon
as Adams spoke he knew his peculiar voice,
and exclaiming ''Good heavens, Ned, is that
your piled him with thousand and one
questions 'It's only another case of Enoch
Arden" said Adams, Except that / took
my wife along with me-" 1t was the first
Mr. Adams knew of his reported death; but
Florences Identification reassured the hotel
clerk, and the genial actor was soon com
fortably installed in his room, reading nu.
merous obituary notices. That same even
evening Mr.. Florence telegraphed to Jarrett
q Palmer as follows:
Ned Adams is here. alive and well. He viii

him, they sinned. He repeated his visits.
She fixed system of signals with lights in
the second story of her comfortable home,
by which he, passing, could tell
whether the husband was at home or likely
to be. He entered the front door when
he dared, but oftener scaled the fence
in the rear of her house, and found her
with dancing eyes at the rear entrance TO
meet him. Again and again had he been
there, and again and again had they sinned.
Dr. McManus grew eloquent as he told the
story of his loves, and Margaret ceased her
sobbing and listened, seemingly interested
in il. He had taken her in his carriage down
the Cony island road. They had drank
wine together in coy private parlors in
the snug hotel cottages that lined the
thoroughfare, and when their enjoyment
was saluted had returned to The city. He
had let her out of his carriage within the
city limits, and had seen her safely in a
horse car and started for her home. They
had strolled through the winding paths of
Prospect park and Greenwood cemetery
when the moon was low, and had loved each
other there.
DR. McManus finished his testimony, and
the throng gave vent to pent-up excitement.
| Scarcely breath had been drawn since he
began. VIXEN they looked at Margaret she
had closely yelled her face and was again
| sobbing. The district attorney had been
sent for by the judge, and as the physician
ceased to speak, he moved that DIR. McMa-
nus be committed to the Raymond street
| Jail and held ON a charge of per-
| jury. The motion was granted, and ere
the glow on the young physicians face,
brought on by the memories of his love
with Margaret, or the effort to construct
the story had gone, a court officer led him
| away. Margaret's counsel, dazed, arose to
| say that he knew nothing about this, and
endeavored to explain, but the Judge ad-
| journed the case. The defense had an
nounced that one of the young husbands
motives in getting the divorce was that he
might marry another woman.

and that you no longer loved me- And
thought you wanted to be free from me so
you could marry Helen Dumont-" Helen!
why she is like sister or daughter to me.
Ny poor little wife, / loved you so well that
| had determined to free you from my
name or life, so distasteful imagined they
had become too you. And |, Homer, IN

week to give you liberty to marry Helen,

love will be good wife" Darling, from
the moment called you mine. / have never
ceased to love you, but | feared was too
old and grave for so young wife. How
often l have been silent and reserved be-
cause / imagined you shrank from my
careSses. Late as it is to begin, may We not
now commence the loving that would have
saved us all this agony? Paul and Helen
are to begin a new life, why may we
not? Put your arms around my neck ana
tell me, it will be so sweet to hear it, that
you are all my own" Happier lives than
theirs henceforth were never known, on the
brink of the chasm they were saved. But
how many people have dritted away from
each other, have separated quietly, been di-
vorced publicly, lived sad, darkened lives,
and gone to their graves in gloom because of
mistakes? How many husbands and wives
have blighted their own and their children
prospects and ruined their homes because of
enstrangement born of GOODNESS or neglect?
Only the records of eternity can tell. BE
not so chary of your works of love, be not
so reserved in your affectionate caresses, be
not so afraid of tender, true heart. The
love of husband or wife is worth every
thing else in the world; treasure it as you
would your life, for losing it you lose the
best that earth can give you.

Fire at BrattIebOr0.

A most destructive fire occurred in
Brattleboro last Sunday night. The
fire broke out in a barn on Elliot
street, adjoining the Revere House,
in which seven valuable horses, be.
longing to Kibbe a. Co., were bamed.
Adjoining and belonging to the same
property was G. + AleAapder's meat
market, which was destroyed, and
the paint shop of G. S. Sargent. The
flames Immediately communicated
with the Revere House, which was
also destroyed. Cox u Co.'S stove
store ia Revere block was destroyed,
and several other buildings damaged.
The loss IS estimated at $4,000 in
sured for $4,000. No person was
"kilt." The guests at the "Revere"
had a narrow escape from the flames.
They lost nearly all their clothing
and valuables. One young man from
Boston slept so sound that his bed
clothes were on fire when the fremen
reused him. 1t is thought the fire
was inceadiary.
