THE MAIDEN SLEEPS.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.

The maiden seeps-why mourn ye In this wlse'
Ye parents Let her rest.
The little face that mid the flowers lies
Speaks to your aching breast:
my lot is light; oh, wherefore weep?
lay me down in peace. and Sleep.
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-wearied from play to rest,
Tired with happiness.
The doll the little arms had fondly pressed
The pretty Sunday dress.
Her story-book remembered not
ALL all her treasures now forgot
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-her life was peaceful made'
And light her earthly lot,
A little stream that through the flowers strayed'
With love and music fraught;
No bitter grief the child's heart panied,
Soon was the short fight fought and gained
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-how blest she slumbered In
Her tender saviour's arms;
That spotless heart, unstained, unsoiled by SIM
No earthly fear could harm
A conscience pure, a sinless breast.
This is couch the head to rest
The maiden sleeps.

May break that sweet repose; [store
Know'st, mother thou. what might have been in
For her, bitter woesa
She feels no more the tempests beat,
Feels not the summers sultry heat
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-only one short calm night
That peaceful sleep will last; lsight
And oh, how bright the morn that greets her
When that brief night is Ger!
He who by his resistless will
Soothed Jairus, lives and comforts still
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-and now the last kiss press
Upon the lips so still.
The Father help thee in thy sore distress;
Omother! tits His will.
Now, as they bear her to her rest.
Sing We the hymns she loved the best
The maiden sleeps.
The maiden sleeps-shepherd, take her home'
Thine for eternity;
Ye glorious stars, bend down from heavens dome
Watch DER her tenderly;
wind, howl not 60 loud and shrill
Over this little fower-decked hill
The maiden sleeps.

land, in the western part of this county.
number of tho deceased's old comrades
in arms had meeting in Galveston on the
10th, and among other resolutions passed.
was the following:
Resolved, that we, members of Hoods
Texas brigade residing in Galveston, have
heard with grief and regret Of the death,
on the 4th intsant, OF Capt. J. J. Mcbride,
late our comrade in arms, and commanding
officer of company c. Fifth Texas regiment,
confederate states army. A man distinguish
ed among brave men for courage; among pa
tient men for fortitude; among true men for
fidelity; among honest men for singleness of
purpose and simplicity OF character; and
among patriots for love of country so beau
tiful, steadfast and sincere that it seemed to
grow brighter and purer in the face OF suffer-
ing, disaster and death. He leaves to our
memory and our reverence a character exalt-
ed and spotless. Few men have lived SO
worthily-few have died so manfully-few
have left to their comrades and their country
name so symbolic of the loftiest human
virtues.
Capt. Mcbride, who was never married
leaves an estate valued at from $500, 900
to $500, 1000, to his three nephews in Virginia,
one of whom is Mr.. lack McChesney Jr., Of

Totally Different From All Others

The ''London Hair Color Restorer" is the
most delightful article ever introduced to the
American people, and is totally different from
all other Hair Restorers, being entirely free
from all impure ingredients that render many
other articles for the hair obnoxious. Where
badness or falling of the hair exists, or pre-
mature grayness from sickness or other
causes, its use will restore the natural youth
full color and cause healthy growth, cleans
ing the scalp from all impurities, dandruff,
ETC., at the same time it is most pleasing and
lasting hair dressing, fragrantly perfumed,
rendering the hair soft and pliab!e, making
it an indispensable article in every toilet.

THE HARVEST IN FRANCE.-At recent
council OF French ministers, NJ. Lepere, the
minister of the interior, stated that France
would require this year to purchase between
500, o0o 900 francs to 800, 900, 900 francs worth
of cereals to make good the deficiency in the
food supplies OF the country. 1t is added
that the unfavorable weather has seriously
damaged the silk crop both in France and
Italy, and the phyilonera have not ceased TO
ravage the vineyards. This is bad state OF
things for France, which in good years has
always been able to export both wheat and
flour. The wheat consumption OF the coun-
try annually is about 105, 900, OOO hectolltres'
or about 300, 100000 bushels. Last year the
crop was only $4,000, 900 hectolitres, compel
ling an Importation of about 10000, 600 bu-
shells. This year it is estimated that the de-
ficlency will be fully as great, while some
calculate 1t as high as 10000, 900 hectolitres,
to purchase which will require an expendi-
ture Of 800, 100000 francs.-BaK. Sun.

A Remarkable Deluslon.

Several months ago we gave an account OF
the murder of his little daughter by a man
named Freeman, at Pocasett, Mass. He
rested under delusion that divine interven-
ton would stay the uplifted knife as it did
with Abraham and Isaac. The result was
the life blood OF the innocent little girl
whom the father thought would be protected
by miracle. The mother believed with the
father. They both were arrested, and the
latest Intelligence from them is given below,
under date of Boston, July %
Freeman, the Pocasett adventist, has been
visited in the jail at Barnstable. He is still
in the same frame OF mind as he has been
since the death of his daughter. He refuses
to take any legal advice for his approaching
trial. Should the State furnish him coun-
sci he says he will not have any points OF the
tragedy smoothed down in order to make
a good defense. Should counsel be furnish
ed and attempt such a policy contrary to
Freeman's idea of the exact facts, Freeman
says he will interrupt him on the spot and
have the statement made right. Mrs. Free
man continues in lamentable con dtion.
A few days after her arrest she seemed to
see the enormity of the deed and to feel the
force OF her bereavement, but latterly she has
fallen under the old delusion. She now
thinks her husband did perfectly right, and
defends his entire course. Both OF them are
perfectly contented in their confinement,
and talk nationally upon every subject ex-
cept the one theme which has given such a
dark hue to their lives.
