" The Last Rose Of Summer"

't The Last Rose Of Summer"
On the romantic shore Of Lake Lucerne,
Beneath my window are some garden walks,
Where now the autumnal irosts the foliage
burn,
And hardy dahlias blacken on their stalks;
But, many-leaved and fresh and fragrant,
blows
One solitary flower-a perfect rose.
This, full OF crimson life as il it had
No thought of death, I've watched, day
after day,
While deep in SHOWS the Rigi-Kulm was clad,
And deep the SHOWS in clehs OF Plate lay
Grim mount! above the clouds whose sharp
drawn peaks
Have long presaged the storm--and now it
breaks.
Like ships at sea, St. Gothard's SUBMITS
strain,
And toward Tells chapel all the storied
scene
Is dashed with slanted streaks of misty rain;
There's not a spot OF color or of sheen
In the dull landscape save that lonely rose
Leaden the sky, and gray the very SHOWS!
With all OF bushes and all fragrance rife,
Loves fragile banner to the gale injured,
Bloom bravely on! Yes, live thy little life
Oh, Rose! 1 would not pluck thee for the
world.
'Twere sentimental Jolly that would shed
Thy sentient leaves to strew your sodden bed.
1 am the type Of the true poets thought
am the type of the true lovers heart
These words, in melody of perfumes wrought,
Like notes of music did the flower impart-
" In gray-haired age my youth is fresh; 1
Up to the ice and blackness OF the tomb.
"Thou in flesh, and in my petals 1,
Are shadows; but soul is thine and nine
| am vision, and prophecy
And that which makes the poets thoughts
divine,
And love subtler revelation still,
Is far more real than yon rock-ribbed hill.
"A few short days, or hours, and am gone.
But, lingering here, last OF happy race,
Into my bosom all thou lookest on
gather up-but clothed in summers grace;
And shall hang forever in thy mind
A mystic rose, immortally refined.
"Yea, these my perfumes shed shall hit thy
sense
With spiritual power when [ am dust.
Perchance the last survivor, cons hence,
OCmen shall be poet, and his trust,
The perfect flower of manhood, shall resign,
AS the perfect rose, to love divine.

The Farmers Iron CharlOts.

All honor to the farmer, riding over hill and
plain,
Driving his iron chariot through fields o
golden grain.
His is not a cruel warfare on fields of bloody
strife,
For gladly all the summer day he reaps the
staff of life
The peaceful days are coming, the years for
doing good;
We do not reap the fields OF death with gar
ments rolled in blood"
We do not ride DER mangled dead, or add to
human wee,
Like the bloody iron chariots Of the years
long ago.
We turn our spears to sickle blades, our swords
to sections keen,
sunlight CLEAN.
sH4xx ys..'...-s, --~---ss-
from above,
Rejoicing on the harvest field turning hatred
into love.
We gather all the golden sheaves, but not the
bloody spears,
Where nature pours abundance, hope rising
over fears.
Freedom and bread for all who work. and
wealth and honors found
Where the farmer rides his chariot with golden
cereals crowned.

How Cantain Mehh SMims.

Captain Matthew Webb. the English
sailor who swan unaided across the
English Channel-a distance of about
tED11 ttETDs1n1ty ,,n miles1i3 1k 1872, rfeeepty sWam
straight distance of aboI 1T ten miles
Capt. Webb is perfect in physique, active
and strong, thirty-one years old, five
feet eight inches high, and weighs a
little short of 200 pounds, several pounds
less than when he swan the Channel.
He measures forty and half inches,
tight measurement, around the chest,
and carries good deal of fat, which he
does not care to train off when preparing
for a swim. His skin is rough and
bears great many pimples and blotches
and he has not any unusual muscular de-
velopment. He seems more a man of
great natural strength and size than one
who has built himself up with gymnas-
tics.
Capt. Webb began to prepare for his
long swim as soon as the boat left the
wharf. He was first rubbed all over
with greasy preparation, known as
vaseline," made unusually thick, ex-
pressly for him. Then putting on a
tight-titting blue cap and pair of very
small swimming-tights, he was ready to
start. When the boat was nearly up to
the point, he sprang overheard, swan
ashore, ran along the sandy beach to the
point, and took "header" into the
water. He might have shortened his
distance nearly half mile by starting
further up the beach, but he was not
particular about little matter of half
mile. 1t was easy to see from the first
stroke that he was fine swimmer.
After getting well out from shore, he
went off at the rate of twenty-nine
strokes a minute, a very rapid rate, and
much faster than any time he made while
crossing the English Channel. This was
only for a few minutes, and he soon set
| tied down to a steady pace of twenty-five
| to twenty-seven strokes u minute, which
he maintained. He has peculiar and
very powerful way of swimming. Ly-
| ing fiat on his breast, he puts his arms out
straight in front of him, the palms of his
| hands touching. Then, drawing his legs
well up, he gives a powerful stroke with
his feet, stretching his legs out behind
him at the end of the stroke as straight
as broomstick. He does not move his
hands until the momentum given by his
feet has entirely ceased, and then he
brings his hands and arms back in a
graceful curve. Arms and legs were
never in motion at the same time By
this plan he has a propeller constantly
at work without moments intermis-
sion. He swims very low in the water
putting mouth and nose slightly under
water with almost every stroke, and
blowing a little, porpoise- fashion, when
his head is out again. Whenever his
shoulders appeared above the surface
the water ran off the grease us readily
as off ducks back.
At five o'clock u rocket was fired from
Manhattan and Captain Webb landed
amid much cheering. His eyes We're
greatly infiamed by the salt water, and
his body was covered in spots with in
crustations of salt. He did not seem to
be fatigued, but walked rapidly up to
the second-story of the bathing house,
washed the salt off in a bath-tub, ate u
hearty dinner, and returned to New York
early in the evening.

Versatility Of Western "Dusters.v

A day or two ago a motherly-looking
woman of forty-five entered a Woodward
avenue clothing store having mans
linen duster on her arm, and when ap-
preached by Il salesman she said:
"Some one in here sold this duster to
my son yesterday"
"Yes, ma'am, | sold it myself" replied
the clerk, as he looked at the garment.
did you tell my son that this duster
could be worn either to picnic, funeral,
bridal party or quarterly meetingp"
u did, madame, and so it can"
"Did you tell him it made good fly
blanket when not otherwise neededP"
II did,"
"That it could be used as boat-sail,
a stretcher, a straw-bed and bed,
spreadP"
" Yes, ma'am, l did,"
And that many people used them as
table-coversP"
81 did"
"And that they would last for years,
and then make excellent stuff for a rag
carpetP'
II did"
"And you only charged dollarp"
"0nly dollar, ma'am."
"Well, when John came home last
night and brought the duster, and told
me all you said, | made UP my mind
that he must have been drunk, and l was
leetle afraid he stole the garment. /
am glad it's all right"
1t certainly is all right, ma'am, and
since he was here yesterday we have dis
covered that the duster is great con-
ductor of sound, preventive of sun
stroke, and that no man with one on his
back ever dropped dead of heart
disease"
Land save usl" she gasped, as she
waited for the bundle; "but who knows
that they won't fix 'em so fore long that
they'll raise mortgage off the farm

Lee ON Webster.

General Robert f. Lee, soon after the
close of the war, gave the following opin-
ion of Webster: Il pever saw more
striking object than Webster in the Sen
ate. The effect of his fine figure and
princely air, when speaking, was like
that of livid flash in the midst of dark
ness. What Paganini was in music that
Webster was in oratory the one charmed
Europe with one string, the other cleo
tri6ed multitudes with his eloquence.
He once complained to me of the wrongs
done him by the reporters, but in vain.
The world would read whatever bore
his honored name, and the grubworms
were ever ready to crafty the desire by
fragments or rather caricatures of his
mighty eloquence. His speeches indi-
cate the powers of the great orator-they
are lofty but not impassioned, correct
but not fluent.n

was no humbug. We hope that an ct
fort will be made to kill him, as he wills
no doubt, be often seen in his new ele-
ment. 1t is now rendered pretty GER
tain that the cavern under the bank of
the creek discovered at the hunt in I84S
Is where this big snake concealed him
self. A farmer who owns the land there
and has erected a dwelling-house. is now
sinking well, and having reached a bed
of limestone, is doing a good deal of
blasting with nitro-glycerine. This well
is about fourth of mile from the
mouth of the cavern, and is fifty feet
deep. 1t is believed that the blasting of
the rock in the well disturbed his snake
ship, and probably frightened him out,
owing to the proximity of the well to
the cavern, or, perhaps, its actual con-
nection with IL.

The case Of State VS.. Thomas Slane,
accused Of the crime OF committing
rape upon the little girl Maggie Moss,
was finished on last Friday evening.
Every exertion was used by the officers
to summon all witnesses for both State
and defense, and they succeeded without
single exception in getting them all,
although the Court was compelled to
resort to writs Of attachment to get
some Of the witnesses for the defendant
into Court, and the sheriff was put to
extraordinary exertions and expense to
execute the same. We would like to
publish verbatim the testimony Of the
poor little victim Of q mans british
passions, when giving her evidence on
the witness stand, but to do SO we would
be compelled to put in print much that
would shock the modesty of every
reader of our journal. To those who
would like to see il, we refer them to
the clerks Office, where all the evidence
for State and defense was written down
and is on file. Suffice to say our District
Judge, after setting upon the bench
for five days, listening to the evidence
did not take fue seconds, after hearing
the attorneys for the defense and tue
district attorney for tie State, to give
his verdict, which gas to the effect,
that the accused be remanded to Jail
without benefit of bail, to await the
action of the grand jury. In October
or November ne1t, a jury Of his peers
will decide upon his case, and to their
sense Of justice we leave it.
