 Boating brooches are of metal crossed oars, boats, and the cap of the oarsman across the oars. White and cream-colored satin is worn under white and cream-colored In dia muslin ball dresses. Masculine looking, rough gray mixed ulsters are worn, with rough gray mixed felt hats to match.

MY 1SJVEE7,IIEART.

My sweetheart died in springtimcs morning, When fields were fair with balny weather, When May her bosom was adorning With daisies sweet and blooming heather. On every bough bird was singing; The silky sky uncoiled her tresses; The blithesome lark was gayly, winging flight so bright no song expresses. Ny joy went out to greet tho wooing of gentle winds and laughing roses, Their fragrant kiss again renewing, Till summers door the W .nter closes. No mate had tor loves earcssing;
 No mate had for loves embraces; Tbe gay-robed May wore heavens blcs. ing, Refecting back my lost ones graces. The mead was green, .hc hills were rising In liquid air, which shonc around them; Aud Nature. in her nicc deyisiug,
 In gauge of dreamy pleasure bound them. Then lightly stepped, the green grass turning A fond one, fled from me forever; Then on the sward traced in mourning The grave can never true love seyer." In hallowed light I saw her knecling, With pallid cheek and dropping lashes- Against ray of old loves feeling
 The vision leaned and fell to ashes. My sweetheart died in springtime's morning, In all her fair and guileless beauty; Loving her kind, no creature scorning, Her sweet, brief life was simple duty. Forever now 8 sad birds singing
 Amid the willows of my sorrow; And on my dreams the chime is ringing,
 C better life will dawn tomorrow"

I only remember the lanterns strung on cords from one great beam to the other, each conner bringing his own lantern. remember the lights and the darkness overhead the bright flash IS and the great shadows that swal- lowed them up and the hens that nod ded and blinked on the scaffolding, and the one foot of rooster that kept crow ing thinking that the morning had come, and the huge pile of yellow ears that grew and grew in size f; and the greater pile of s5raw-colored husks that were thrown backward and pushed out until they blocked the great barn door, way and the sleepy cattle in the stalls that looked stupidly but benevolently out at the strange goings on; and the red car !-how the young fellows wished the red ears were thicker and the chasings and tumblings through tht rattling husks and the screams ant laughter. know all this is heretieal

A Bad Husband.

MT. Westwood, of Mount Auburn, Ohio, was worth $65, ,oOo when his first wife died. Her industry and manage ment had been to a great extent the cause of his prosperity, and he grate- fully spent $1, 400 in putting a monu ment over her grave. He soon married again, and his second wife rapidly wasted his fortune until he had no property left except the monument. Acceding to the new Mrs. Woodward's advice, he had it removed to marble yard, effaced the inscription, and offered it for sale at half it's original cost.

The Camden Execution.


 That Hunter was under the influence of drugs at the time of the hanging is disputed by Dr. Morgan, who attended the murderer up to the time of his being carried down stairs. "Hunter was con- scious of all that transpired," Dr. Nor gan said, Che was weak from the loss of blood occasioned by his attempt at sui eide, but he did not even swoon away. After the prayer with Dr. Allen he asked for some whisky, and gave him taJle- spoonful. About twenty minutes previ- ous to this I gave him spoonful. He wanted more, but would not give it to him for fear of making him intoxicated. Immediately after the second dose Hun ter pretended to be very drunk, but he became overpowered so quickly that I knew 1t could not be. Just before Hun ter was taken down stairs he shut his eyes and pretended to have tainted. examined the pupils and found them dilated. Had he been intoxicated they would have contracted. If he had swooned the pupils would have con- tracted when the light was let in on them, but such was not the case, 1t was noth- ing moro than his preconcerted. plan to seem in this condition as he had said several days before that he would not walk down stairs, and he asked the Sheriff whether If he was unconscious at the time appointed for the hanging they would hang him. To this the Sheriff replied, Yes
 "The mans control over himself vas wonderful. When he attempted to com init suicide on Sunday night last he closed his jaws, and we thought he was dying. He could control the circulation of his blood and the beating of his heart. He seemed to be in stupor, and it was impossible to obtain his pulse from the wrist. Even at his heart tn beats could not be told, because Hunter produced an artificial sound and motion of the breast, and it was three minutes at one tlme before we could get the pulsations of the heart.
 I never met the mans equal. There is no doubt that he WAS badly scared, and that he feared the death that awaited him, but he had nerved himself to make the last act in the drama of thrilling in. terest. You can set it down for cer- tainty that Hunter was conscious when he was carried down stairs, and that he was neither drunk nor drugged, because l attended him all the morning and tc the end, and no one else administered anything to him."
 A man who helped to adjust the rop' about Hunters neck says that Hrnte winked very perceptibly two or thre' times, and would, in all probability have said something the second time tha Sheriff Calhoun spoke to him. "In deed," the gentleman continued, ether was faint gurgling in the throat, a though the murderer was about to clea it, and his lips moved pcrceptibly.
 thought for a certainty he was about t speak. He could not have done 50 if h had desired, though, because, as sa' at glance, the rope had slipped fro1 the position which it should have bee in to break his neck, and was tied S tight about his neck that he could nc utter word. It was not done inter , tionally, but was mistake of the Sheriff.
