To look at you now one would think YOU dreamed

Do you ever look further, wonder, than the tirst

The wedding bells and the music, and the scent
OF the orange flowers
Do YOU deem that life, at It's best, no tears from
your heart will wiring
All! this is the season Of blossom what fruit Will

When first your new-iound happiness is losing Its

And the workaday world creeps ON with its bur

Can you meet with patient courage the wear and

A Grave Complaint.

RICHMOND, VA, September 2, 1878.
Editors Dispatch: became q witness
TO double outrage this afternoon, which,
think, should be made public.
While standing in the door OF dry-goods
store on the corner OF Sixth and Broad
streets saw two women in a buggy delib-
erateIy drive over an old nliIkman who was
crossing the street, throwing him violently
to the ground, and besides spliliug the milk
out OF his two cans, considerably bruisiDg
him about the hands and face. These wo-
men then turned around to see that the
damage was complete, and then, putting
the whip to their borse, continued down
Broad street at the Iatc OF about ten miles
an hour. All this time there were three
policemen standing at the corner and within
twenty yards OF the place where it occur
red without making the least effort in the
direction pointed ont by their duty. Sew
eral citizens walked up aud eXpostulated
with them for not acting; and after the ye-
hcle was out OF sight they held consuIta-
tlon. and two OF them concluded that they
would see about it.
1t seems singular that only z few weeks
since every policeman in the city was nosing
around, ulder special Instructions, trying
to discover some petty maletactor, and now
so soon after, they should allow an outrage
OF this kind 10 occur within arms-Icneth
and then wait. until some one else should
tell them what to do.
