The Penniless Man.

Blessed is the man who is penni-
less, for he is never stricken-for a
dollar. The deadheads annoyeth
him not, neither is he pursued by
the book agent. He is not grasped
by lightning-rod seller. The lunch
fiend turneth away from him. The
trinlSet vender passeth him by.
He is not asked to invest in church
lotteries. He hath no friends to
"treat )" he is poor and hath no
enemies. When he riseth in the
morning his stomach is not REBEL
ious from overlooking, neither does
he clink and say, GLOW shall / get
rid Of these dimes 7" When he
eateth he is not vexed by multi
tude of dishes. His lands will
never take unto them wings, Meth
err will the fire devour his water lots.
He is not perplexed about taxes,
neither careth he for the rise in lum-
Der. He hath no ties for money
therefore, careth not to demonetize
nevertheless a dime will he not
refuse, nor turn away from five
center. Yea, a gerkin will he
relish, and storm at the outwork'
of steel-clad biscuit. He loveth
none but himself he is selfish yea
fond Of fish, clans and chowder
oysters raw and lobster in vinegar
will he not despise. He maketf
his lair in bar-room he squattetf
on a keg while it is day, aud sleep
eth in q barrel at night. Where
scent Of whisky is, there is h'
found I; he snuffeth the lunch will
frenzy, and cries ha ba at th'
clink Of glasses. He liveth like
ringtailed Mode, and dieth like
spotted Jehoshaphat.

A RETROSPECT.

A day Il seems, yet still the years,
Fleet-winged overthe time Of tears,
The poignant grief has mellower made
Since the vow beneath the yew trees shade
Yet, oh, the loving, burning word
Tugs now my heart and like the bird
That over the mighty ocean lost,
Drops YEARLY to Uhe welcome coast
MY soul, from out its areary waste
Leans up TO Him who in sadder tas.e
OF bitterness; let not the bitter gan
Forgiveness quench beyond recall
So, God, forgive the false design,
NAV long he share the mercy Thine;
Sweet hope may DER him come at last
When tempting scenes of earth are past.
IT'S love that DER the scene around
The curtain moves, while in the sound
OF angels music long ''the Shore"
Is waited peace-forevermore

Luck.

It is not luck says the Weekly

makes men. "LuclS," says an able
writer, whose name we know not,
sis ever waiting for something to
turn up; labor, with keen eye and
strong will, always turns up some
thing. Luck lies in bed and wishes
the postman would bring him news
of a legacy F; labor turns out at six
and with busy pen or ringing ham
mer lays the foundation of a com

whistles. Luck relies on chance
labor on character. Luck slip

strikes upward, and aspires to in

The Reno Court Martial.

DEADwDoD, Dec. Sat the Reno court
martial at Fort Meade on Thursday, the prose
cution rested their case, after examining Mrs.
Fanshawe, without adducing any new facts,
and the defence opened. Dr. Irwin testifies
that moving from a cold place into ward
room might produce the same effects as them
manifested by Major Reno at the supper table
at Fanshawe's house on the night of Aug. Sd.
Major Marcus A. Reno testified that on the
night of Nov. 10th, while walking in front of
Gen Sturgis house, saw Ella in complete
toilet; she presented such beautiful picture
he could not resist the temptation of looking
through the window upon her, had no inten-
tion of harming them, land would suffer the loss
of his right hand before he would cause them
injury; did not approach the window stealthily
or suspciously; walked there as he would walk
into the court room; wrote very polite note
of apology to Mrs. Sturgis for his action that
night, but owing to his being in close arrest
could not send it until two days after; he had
always entertained the highest respect and ad-
miration for Miss lila and the Sturgis family;
testified that on the night of Oct. 25th, when
he had an alteration with. Nicholson, was per-
fectlv sober, and that Nichoson's repeated
brags of being able to whip him drove him be-
yond limits of patience, and in an angry pas
sion he struck Nicholson with billiard cue
