A WOMAN S LOVE DREAM.

1--WE all have waking vlsion--I have mine,
And brIns young and iancIful. and counted lair
sometime, dream Of love,
And sitting All alone. and musing still,
While y't III. frclight flIcscrs dim
] ask myself il shnuii l.arn I" love.
III my still heart could wake To life.
How would love, and how would he loved
For am weary ot IiOlHry.
Ny soul ir faint within me-, while think
oi all the fierce, strong passion
have seen and known Ttslatless in its might
As some rock -Cleaving stream.
wouid b. loved IN camne-s-
Trusted and not feared
He whom loved should be my king,
And not my slave
do not ask that he he proud and cold;
But calm, and grave, AMI very strong
king. Ike Saul, among the sons OF men,
And kInglicr DER himself;
lie must not tremblc at my slightest frown,
Nor shu'ider II another meet my eyes;
Nor must he, like vnssal, crave my smile
Glad III the dust before my feet to lie
FOR AIN weary Of servIlIty-
would not rule. nor would yet be ruled;
-c"rn the tyrant rs scorn his slave.
There Is II love OF sweet equality
The love God gave and smiled upon;
He whom love must br my king,
But must be his quecn
And he should yield me- rs my tribute due,
The reverence had earned,
Not only by my wOmnnhvod, but by all gentle.
Long suffering, the patient sweetness
only love can teach;
For looking on me he should feel and know
That peace and rest which followe Ell after toll.
In me his heart should In such safety trust
That he should 'havr no need of spoil.'
do not ask for the worlds applause,
The blaze of heraldry;
Ih" pohp OF famc;
His deeds the annals of nations 8 pride,
HIS name upon the lips of men;
But must feel his power
Must know he could he what carIh's heroes are
l could not love him Were he not great.
His hand must he both safe and strong;
A hand To shield. To lay my own within,
10 stake my life upon;
n hand that might have fou sht with Hercul cS
ct would not harm the worm within his path
For though the heart oi woman loveth oft
thing she doth unwillingiy despise,
II is pIti'ul imperfect love, that hath not
For Its corner stone the rock OF faith.
His heart must be most tender and most true
A heart that loves, and pItles, and be-IrieDds
Earth's suffering children, whether high,

And he must love me perfectly.

Nor stoop TO cheat my soul.

And, as In far Judea, when the world wa

Sarah with reverence said to Abraham,
My lips should call him 'Lord'"

A CHILD MARVEL.
Scriptural Lectures by n Four.year
Old Ncgress.
n.oui.yllle Courler-Journal.


There is now in Louisville me-
gress who is perfect child wonder.
She is a scriptural marvel. She does
not even know her letters, yet she
can quote accurately almost any pas
sage III the bible.
At the age of nine months she could
talk, and would frequently tell her
mother what her idea ofheaven was.
As she grew older she would sit for
hours and eXpatiatc on the beauties
and glorieS OF the other world. The
old culored folks would listen to her
savings for hours.
AT the age of three years she be-
gan to lecture on heaven, its Won
dcrs, or God and his omnipoteut pow
cr. She has leclured in many places
and has created furore in every
place she has yet visited. The prod.
igv Icctured at the York Street COL
ored church yesterday afternoon, and
at night spoke 10 large crowd at
Green street colored church. Her
speech was good and her delivery
impressive.
A reporter of the Couricr-J ournal
intcrrogated her last night.
"What is your name, little girl?'
"Alice Courtney"
How old are yvu?"
"I-c just four years and twenty
eight days old tonight"
''Where were you born!"
Il WAS born in Liverpool, England
= cross de Atlantic"
"Tow long since you felt the pow
er within yon"'
Il don't know; Ise always felt the
power of God!"
what do you talk about when
you speak to a crowd!"
"Talk abont Jesus, about heavenly
things, about how Jesus died and was
crucihed; how lie rose again in three
days and sitteth Oh the right hand of
God"
"Csn you spcll?"
"No, sir ; don't know my A, A.
Bs vet"
She then went on in a rapturous
strain about things biblical and
spiritual, completely nonplussing tho
reporter.
She was accompanied by two color
ed men. They talked in all enthusi-
astic manner about her. She said in
her conversation that she believed in
two kinds of baptisms. She spoke Of
the different modes Of salvation; how
to reach paradise; how to be con-
vcrted from bad man to a good life,
sc. Her savings were entirely crig-
inal, and were not spoken in a hesit-
ating voice; but in quick, keen and
torcible manner. AS young as she
is, a negress, without education III
the principles she sets forth, her pow
er partakes strongly .of the marvel.

ARE THE CHILDREN At HoMtp

Each day when the glow of sunset
Fades IN the western sky,
And the Wee ones. tired of playing,
Go tripping lightly by,
steal away from my husband,
Asleep IN his easy char.
And watch from the open doorway
Their faces fresh and fair
Alone IN the dear old homestead
That ono" wa, tail of lite,
ringing with girll-h laughter,
EChnInZ bpyi=h strife.
We two are waiting together:
And oft, as thu shadows come,
Wi tr"mul.u- Voice. he calls me,
1t Is night are the children home -
Eyes. love - Ianswcr him gently,
They re all home long ago.
And sing, IN my quivrrIng treble,
a song sn soft and low,
I'll the old man drops to slumbcr,
Win has heal upon his hand,
And toll 10 myself the number
At home IN batter land.
Home, wh.re never 4 sorrow
Shall dim their eyes with tears,
Where the smile ui Cod Is on them
Through all the summer wears!
! know Yet my arms art. empty
That iOndly folded seven,
And tn" mother heart within me
Is almost starved tor heaven
Sometimes in the dusk Of evening,
! only shut my eyes,
And the CHI l'iren are all about me-
VISION from the skies;
The babes Whose dimplri fingers
Lost the way I" my breast,
And the beautiful ones. the angels
Passed to the world OF the blest
a brrath, and the vision is lifted
Away on wings of light,
AMI again We TWO ar" together,
All alone III the night
They tell me his mind Is failing,
But smile at idle Tears:
He is only back with tn. children,
In the dear peaceful years.
And still rs the summer sunset
F1drs away in the west,
And the wee ones, tired of playing,
Go rroOplng HON" to rest,
Ny husband calls from hI- corner
Say love have the children come %
And answer. with eyes upl!it"d.
Yes, dear they are all af home -

BEGINNING OF THY SORROWS, LIT
TIE HEART.
louisville Post ]

Just after sunset yesterday bright
faced little girl, attended by Il playful
black and-tan pup. was at the pump ut
Seventh and Walnut streets. Near by.
on the curbStonc. were two sparrows
chirping cheerily. The pup made a
dash at them. and much TO his delight
one OF the them was unablcto fly. IL was
Il Young one, and the other was the
mother Seeing the danger OF her
Young the old bird resorted to the usual
devices to attract the enemy tu pursue
her, throwing herself upon the ground
in front OF him, tluttering almost in his
face and crying in distress. Thoroughly
excited and somewhat confused the
black -and-tan dashed first at one and
then at the other. The little girls heart
was touched tor the birds, and calling
at the pup she started in pursuit of him.
Dog, birds and girl. for awhile all great
ly excited, were flying here and there
about the gutter. now on the pavement
and again on the street. Finally. Just
as the pup pounccd upon the young
bird. his little mistress seized him and
drew him into her arms. For an in
stant it seemed the young bird was
saved, Dut tne poor lnll'S was HiSnten-
ed nearly to death, and espying the
sewer-opening in the curbing it flew in,
and nothing could save 1t. The little
girls eyes streamed with tears; she
scolded and gave the pup an affection
ate sort of beating. and, pulling his
head near to the opening, said in a most
distressing tone: See what you have
done. you wicked, wicked little dog !;
YOU have drowned the poor little bird,
YOU have drowned the poor little bird, -
and when the mother bird tiuttered
around, looking and crying tor her
young. she burst into fresh tears and
cried as if her heart would break A
number of people witnessed the incl
dent and there were no dry eyes on the
scene except those of the little pup.

NAHUM IN Sc.


The jefferson City Tribune publishes
the following letter, which it asserts
was written by one OF the ableSt lawyers
in the state:
In several counties OF this state per-
sons have announced themselves candi-
dates for the office OF county collector in
about these words:
II hereby declare myself a candidate
for the office of county collector. and, il
elected. bnd and obligatc myself 10 pay
into the county treasury for the benefit
of the county school fund all fees and
commissions over fifteen hundred dol
lars, which | may receive us such col
lcctor."
This is decidedly new departure in
the art of office seeking, which demands
a careful consideration in all OF its as
poets. before it is passed upon by the
people at the ensuing election.
What is the prominent idea in the an
nouncemcnt of this class OF candidates
for public office? Upon what distinctive
principle do they ask popular suffrage !?
Do they claim the support of the people
on account of their superior qualitica-
tions tor the discharge OF the duties of
the office they seek? Certainly not.
A candidate for collector of this class
| engages to give each voter 4 gift or re-
ward for his vote, provided such candi-
date is elected.
The gilt or reward, it is true, is in
direct. 1t is to furnish part of the
money with which to educate the voters
children. 1t is practically and actually
paying tor the voter money which be
would otherwise have to pay himself.
1t is substantial pecuniary benefit
conferred by the candidate on the voter
1t is a money consideration, indirectly
passing from the candidate to the voter
| for has cOfe.
The inducement which the candidate
holds to the voter is pecunia,y in it!
character, without such inducement the
voter would probably withhold his vote
from such candidate, and cast the same
for some other candidate.
The plain English of the candidate
engagement and undertaking is. that
the voters will vote for and elect him
