BOTH SIDES.


A man in his carriage was riding along;
A gaily dressed wife by his side;
In satin and laces she looked like queen,
And he like king in his pride.
A wood sawyer stood on the street as they
passed.
Tie carriage and couple he eyed;
And said as he worked with his saw on log,
81 wish was rich and could ride.''
The man in the carriage remarked to his wife,
zone thing would give IL could
I'd give my wealth for the strength and the
health
OF the man who is saving the wood"
A pretty young maid with a bundle of work,
Whose face, as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with q smile of delight,
While humming love-breashing air.
She looked on the carriage, the lady she saw,
Arrayed in apparel so line,
And said in q whisper, SCI wish from my heart
Those satins and laces were mine"
The lady looked out on the maid with her
work,
So fair in her calico dress,
And said, ssI'd relinguish position and wealth
Her beauty and youth TO possess"
Thus it is in the world, whatever our law,
Our minds and our time we employ
In longing and signing for what VIC have not,
Ungrateful for what we enjoy.

AsHEvELLE, N. c., Dec. 25, III.
It is fact not generally known
that the cemetery of the Meth
odist church in Hendersonyille, N.
c., contains g petrified human body.
About the year 1886, Miss Adeline
Byers lived with her father. Fran
els Byers, Is miles south of this
place. She was q bright, sweet
girl, much beloved by all who
knew her, and her hand wac sought
in marriage even before she was of
manageable age. At last she was
won by William Pinkney Murray,
whom she had known loug and
we'll. Soon the nuptials were cele-
brated, and the bride and BRIDE
groom set out in search of new
country, following the setting sun
to the Mississippi Valley. There
they located and began the journey
of life together in real earnest.
Property aud happines came to
theI0, until at an unexpected mo-
meHt death cut down Mrs. Murray
in the very prime of life. The dis
consolate Widower, consigning the
remains of his deceased wife to the
dust, as he supposed, sought "sur-
cease of sorrow" in the Wilds of
Texas. A few years afterward DIR.
Josiah Johnston, intending to re-
iuru to North Carolina, whence he
bad removed with his brother-in-
law, Mr.. Murray, disinterred the
body of Mrs. Murray for the pur-
pose of carrying it back with him.
Imagine how amazed he was to
ind It in the coffin Just as he had
seen it three years before. The
same features-almostt the same ex-
preston. But what he saw was
not fesh-it was solid stone. The
whole body was petrihed. In that
condition he carried it to North Car.
olina, and delivered il to the aged
father, Mr.. Byers, who could hard
ly doubt that his daughter had come
home to him asleepl The news
spread that Adeline's body had
been "turned into q rock" and
great was the desire of everybody
to see it. Attempts were made, il
is said, to steal it out of the cellar
where the old gentleman had care
fully concealed it, but they were
unsuccessful All through the wal
1t was guarded by the father as the
most sacred trust, but few people
being SLOWED to see it. About si1
years sgo, however, it was quietly
buried in the Methodist cemetery
at Hendersonville, where, it i
hoped, it will be permitted to resi-
until the resurrection morn"

LOVES QUEEN.

He loves not well whose love is bol5t
would not have thee come too nigh,
The SUMS gold would not seem pure gold
Unless the sun were In the SKY;
To taEe him thence and chain him near
Would make his beauty disappear
He keeps his state-do thou keep thine,
And shine upon me from ATARI
So shall bask in light divine
That falls from Loves own guiding star.
So shall thy eminence be high,
And so my passion shall not die.
But all my life shall reach its hands
OF lofty longing toward thy face,
And be as one who speechlesS stands
In rapture at seme perfect grace,
My love, my hope, my all, shall be
To look to heaven and look to thee.
Thine eyes shall be the heavenly lights;
Thy voice shall be the summer breeze,
What time 1t sways, on moonlit nights
The murmuring tops OF leafy trees;
An will touch thy beauteous form
In June's red roses, rich and warm.
But then thy self shalt not come down
From that pure region tar above;
But keep thy throne and wear thy crown,
Queen of my heart and queen Of Lowell
A monarch in thy realm complete,
And a monarch-at thy feet!

The WOLF and tl.e Lamb.

Among the choice fables which
have special application to the oc-
eurrences of the period, perhaps
none fit the peculiar positions as
sumed from day to day by the sup
porters of class legislation in reia-
ton to finance so admirably as the
following credited to Asop:
GAS a wolf was tapping at the
head of 8 running brook, he saw a
stray lamb wading, at some distance
down the stream. Having made up
his mind to seize her, he bethought
himself how he might justify his vi
olence. sVillain = said he, running
mp to her, show dare you muddle
the water that l am drinking?' In
deed said the lamb, humbIy, Il do
not see how / can disturb the water,
since it runs from you to me, not
from me to you BE that as il
may replied the wolf, st was but a
year ago that you called me many
i'll names sOh, sir 2 said the'lamb,
tremblingly, "a year ago 1 was not
BORN WELL replied the wolf, ST
it was not You it was your father,
and that is all the same; but 1t is no
use trying to argue me out of my
supper and without another word

and tore her to pieces.
