 In due course of time Sir Harry died, and, in default of an heir, his title passed to cousin, while the widow retained the Blankshire estates for life. The loss of her husband made but little difference to "Sally," " except that it gave her the enjoyment of large fortune. As she grew old, she took very serious and religious turn, entertaining clergymen perpetually, subscribing to numerous charities, and building cottages for the poor.
 But even clerical influence could not refine her. She always remained coarse and vulgar, and to the last day of her life (she lived to be seventy,) she spoke of her husband as ''poor Sir 'Arry."
 The unsightly monument which she set up to Sir Harry's folly, and which still figures conspicuously on one of the Blankshire's hills, may be looked upon as a warning to disappointed suitors of the present day not to go and do likewise.

ALONE.

Ibe gloaming comes, the daylight fades, Night lets fall her veil. Alone O! God, alone stand;
 No sound save the moaning gale. I have no friend, with willing heart, To help me on hfe's way. Had I possessed one kindred love
 had not gone astray. O! why did sin at dawn of day?
 Life.always seemed so fair Now night has come at Gwenty-one
 With darkness everywhere. grope around, find no light,
 Not even the faillte -a From those who have the most, I know The ALL shall be taken away. O! gather me home to thy strong arms, Father, bear me to that shore, Where sin is washed from wretched souls, And truth reigns everywhere. MILwAUKEE, Sept, 1878. sc. A.

The moon is up, and shining
 The quivering waves along, In my arms is my love reclining, .s Our hearts beat quick and strong. Clasped to her breast am lying,
 The waves tapping in to our feet; Hush! 'Tis but the low wind signing
 Why shakes so thy white hand, sweeta" An, love, this is no wind sighing
 'Tis the mermen's song, I know: And these are my sisters crying,
 Whom the sea took years ago"

How oPrevent Yellow Fever

A correspondent of the Dallas Her
dld, who seems TO he physician of
considerable experience, furnishes
the following on the subject of ward
Ing off attacks of yellow fever. As
the mode of procedure comes within
the limits of his own professional
knowledge, it merits ut least the in
vestigation of the medical men gen
orally. The Herdid correspondent
SAYS: r.fm Ir-tt-
"Since yellow fever is the occasion
of so much being said and written in
your own and other papers ut this
time, ii might moi 10 ainiss to give
some facts in relation to the proven

prise only four or five of the soldiers,
out of some two hundred stationed
there had been attacked with the fe-
yer, while the town and vicinity was
almost depopulated with its ravages.
OF course there was some cause of
this exemption on the part of the
soldiers. On inquiry, DR. Warren
informed me that'it was his practice
to have the men callsd into line every
morning about ten o'clock, when he

from the East Indies. 10 those Gu

The jolly, laughing and spicy Rock
wall Sunny Cline grows serious
long enough to foot up the results OF
local option in Rockwell county,
ending with bit of sound philos-
ophy:
From 1872 up to the adoption OF
the law, of those that were the result
of previously formed bosom feuds,
there were four homicidcs commit
ted, and since only one, and in that
no citizen was engaged, the murderer
being Missouri renegade who assas-
sinated pursuer from Collin county.
Before that time the Grand Jury at
each session found from IL to so in
dictments. At the last session the
result of three days work was one
true bill. The fees of the officers for
the execution of criminal laws have
been reduced about IS per cent. With
reference to the practicability of en-
forcing the law, ii is like all others
rests with the people. When public
sentiment among the citizens is in
favor of its execution II is but little
trouble to enforce it, but on the con-
tray, like all others where public sem
timent opposes 1t, II generally
amounts to dead letter.

much hurt. There was but little of

that was the fayorite beverage of the
Greenbackers.

The police were called in to shoot
down the striking laborers in Wash
ington city. The Courier-Joursal
gives the cause Of the strike, from
which we quote below:
"The labor riot in Washington was
the immediate fruitage of an attempt
of the contractors for the new Gov
eminent buildings to pocket immense
profits and get the work done for
nothing. They offered the men six
ty-five cents day. As the design of
the bills which passed Congress, pro-
viding for Government buildings,
was TO give the unemployed labor Of
the District work at fair prices, the
contractors game was organized with
Indignation by the laborers.

The Pharisaical hypocrites OF the
Eastern Press, who for years have
gloated over crime in Texas, have
their attention now fully occupied
ia chronicling crimes at home, of
such atrocity that heaven shuts its
ears to them. Texas crimes have a
relieving dash Of reckless bravery
about them, while the crimes of the
East are brutal, beastly and sicken-
ing. The foul crime, under the head
of lniquity in another column is but
a specimen of the losthesome vices
that make the modern Sodom, called
New York, fostering pest-house OF
foul sin.

alton in other states we quote from
the Gallatin DEM Teanessean:
"The people are at last aroused to
their danger and their rights. They
intend 10 reform our financial system

fact that an active determined con-
