loaned 10 his client So, 500; that while he had the
him from paying IT was served upon him, and, third,
that the money had been attached In his hands " be-
longing to another party. Judge Lawrence did not

William Lintz against Sarah T. Emos nnd

that she never knew OF the mortgage until the bring
ing of the present suit ana that her signature to

that such forgery was committed by her husband Sho
then goes explain that Mr. Emos left home sud-
denly the 10Th OF February last that supposed
he had gone South in connection with his

Of nlm was from Aspinwaii, through letter written
by hun, irom which she quotes the sentence, "En-
closed you VIII have some papers which tell you OF

she seeks 10 have tho mortgage declared null aud
Mr. Llntz makes an AFFIDAVIT in which he states that
Mr.. Elnos forged his name various notes upon which
he obuiinod money, and that Emos sought TO obtain
money from him winch he refused to give him, INK
ing that he was already sufficiently In his debt. AS TO
tho charge vi Emos forging his wiies name TO the
mortgage papers he gives II his belief that no
forgery was committed, aud that II was made mere

MY JE VEL.

Rich hazel eyes that smile at me,
In whose bright depths l seem to see
The rest light the fail est glow,
That mortal eyes did er bestow.
/ love to 1T and watch them so,
And feel the thrill that long ago
Ran tn ough nv breast when first drew
TIL It cheek wherein the roses grew
Unto my own, and softly told
The 81 eet, sweet tale that's never old.
Dear, earnest eyes that fondly smile,
And gu eetly speak to me The while;
That lool so,te, der. and so sad,
Yet q AN as joyous, and as glad
As when | felt my young heart stirred
Within me Xix singing bird,
And knew the joy that lovers feel,
And lelt the flow of passion steal
Lik lava streams within my blood,
Uncurbed and tameless in its flood.
Though years have gone and left their trace,
And sadd ned er my darllng's face,
Thoug roses from her cheek have fed,
An care has pressed her fair brown head;
Yet to my heart she just the same
As wben in Oiden Us she came
And stood beside me like queen,
When both our lives and hearts were green,
As when the wild 10 Of my youth
Burst on me in its beaming truth.
Her whispers still within my ear
Make music that l love to hear;
She's still to me the blushing girl
I hat eet my youthful breast awhIrl
Long, long a2o. when we were young,
And golden fruit in clusters hung:
She's still my sweet cart, though the years
Have brought their train OF cares and fears,
And still within her hazel eyes
l see the old. fond loyelight rise.
She sits beside me here tonight;
One tender hand, soft, fair and white.
Rests on my shoulder, and we seem
To live AGAIN life -draapS.
And, a the lamplight floods her brow,
/ know she's dearer to me no
All! dearer far-than when told
The sweet, sweet tale that's never old.
