DEAD ROSES.

From Kansas City Journal
He gave them TO me, and in giving said:
"Here, sweet, are flowers for you;'
Then, STOPPING, kissed NE on ny lips and
sighed:
Though sweet they be. far sweeter you TO
ME"
Yet they are dead.
Did his love die? Nay, nay;
The flowers lived but one uay his love
Has IIved Tor years-will live for aye.
Why, then, these anguished fears?
All, who shall say?
Love bridges time. Gods VIII not mine,
shall rule The rest
Lies bitter school will test,
Desires are vain ; heart answers heart
With throbs OF pam.
And is all love in vainc
Cease, heart this aching pain;
The mystic web of fate covereth us all.
Too iate We feel the mesh = Of the siIken net.
Dead roses and dead hearts
Form of all lives q part.
No fame can fan dead ashes into life;
We live and We regret.
Dead did hear you cay:
Then let me have my way.
Here, lay them on my heart
Ny love lived in my heart; OF me
Roth were a part-now DO are dead
Dead fuses, you and
Loves withered Imagery
Here let US rest. DOLLY,
KANSAS CITY, No.

New YORK, Nov. determination de bene
esse of James Colgate, of the banking firm of
Colgate & Co., in the suit brought by the gov
eminent against Samuel J. Tilden for arrears
of income tax, was continued to-day, Judge
Choate, before whom the question of the pro-
duction of the books of the firm was pending,
gave decision that the United Estates commits
sioners could not compel witness to produce
his books, as they were only required to refresh
his memory. The case was then resumed be-
fore the United States commissioner, and the
witness said his firm had some transactions
with MIR. Tilden, the nature and extent of
which he did not know. The witness was
questioned at length as to what these were,
and replied he had no recollection or impress
sion about them and could not answer the
question.
Judge Blatchford's overruling of the defend
ants demurrer in the income tax suit brought
by the government against Samuel j. Tilden,
was filed to-day in the clerks Office of the Uni
ted States court. The costs are taxed, and the
defendant is given sixty days from date of the
decree to answer the bill of complaint.
