Bland WITH RAGE blind With
rage" meant something in a Paris
workshop one afternoon three weeks
ago. An overseer of the works,
finding that one of the men had not
finished a piece of work which was
urgently required, fell into such a
state of fury as to strike him in the
face. Almost in the very act OF
striking, however, he fell back,
shouting for aid, and complaining
that he could not see. The work.
men came around him with offers of
assistance, but nothing could be
done. 1t was certain that he had
suddenly lost the use of both bis
eyes. Medical evidence showed that
some of the blood vessels behind the
eye had burst, and that the blood
had flooded the interior cavities OF
the eye balls.

A California lawyer was appointed

A California lawyer was appointed
by the Judge to defend an impecu
NOUS prisoner. He declined to Go
so unless he was compensated, and
was fined for contempt. He carried
the case to the Supreme Court, and
decision has recently been rem
dered that the Judge bad right to
compel the performance of the ser
vice. 1t is a pity that the Court
was not able to go further and decide
that Judges have no right to assign
raw and inexperienced attorneys to
the defence of persons charged with
felony. 1t is the custom in Georgia,
and doubtless in other States, for
Judges to place the cases of men
charged with murder or other capital
offsnse in charge of the youngest
and greenest members of the bar,
and judicial murder must sometimes
be the consequence of this vicious
practice.

"What has happened, dearest
Harry 7" exclaimed Harry MOrgan's
bride of two months, starting up
jn alarm, and throwing her arms
around his neck as he entered her
elegant bourdeau, where nothing
that love and money could suggest
to perfect it's beauty and comfort
had been left unsupplied, for his
usually quick, elastic step was slow
and shutfiing, and his face was al
most baggard in its pallor, while
his splendid dark eyes were lustre-
less aud bloodshot.
"Nothing; or at any rate moth
ing Serious" he replied in a quiet
voice, that Ill-became his troubled
face.
His beautiful, childish looking
little wife raised her curly head
from his breast and looked at him
earnestly with fearful eyes, for a
few moments, and then said re-
proachfully in tremulous voice:
Harry, you are in trouble, deep,
heart-rending trouble, and yet you
refuse to confide in me. Am | not

THE CONFEDERATE DEAD.
BY THE AUTHOR OF ALBERT HASTINGS.

Oh, not DER these, the true and brave,
Whose mangled forms In many grave
Lie low where grass and wild flower
spring.
Shall dark oblivion spread her wing.
Green osiers grow,
Red roses blow,
And garland dead heroes below!
Ye everlasting pines, whose wall
With mournful dirges swell the gale,
Sweep your high harps with requiem
grand
For soldiers of the Southern land,
Who gave their life
In bloody strife,
Their memory ours with glory rife!
What though Oppression rule the soil,
They might not view the yictOr's spoil;
Beside their shivered swords they lie,
Unheeding meath radiant sky.
Calm let them sleep!
Tis ours to weep
For joys we lost-for woes we reap!
Our blood-stained banner, rent and lost,
Once waving Ger a dauntless host,
Though wet thy folds with Freedoms tears,
Thy splendor lives in coming years,
When mighty mind
Shall sway mankind,
And Right it's equilibrium find!
But now in double night we dwell;
For that Lost Cause, aud those who fell,
Our yearning bosoms still o'erfow
In pangs of deep though silent woo.
But God is just
And in this trust
We mournful lcaye your sacred dust
Scathed, smtten, weary land, be still
Abide the scourge while heaven SO will;
Hope on, and wait the coming day,
Though not yet seen, and far away,
When dawning light ...
Shall scatter night, ..t. H.
And Gods right arm enforce the right
Though moldering ruin grimly sways
The happy halls of other days
Though aged sires in slow decline
Lament the downfall of their line
Each hero son
Ameed hath won,
Revered till life's last sands shall run.
Aye, now and through all coming time,
Dur countrymcn shall live sublime
N that heart memory SO dear.
10 Honors high and bright career,
And long be shed
Above their bed,
