ny ROSE TERkY,

Darlipgs Of the forest,
Bio soinn alone!
When -arth's grief IL sorest.
For her jewels gone
Ere the last snow-driffs melt, your tender
Buds have blown.
1inped with color faulty.
Like the NOR. ing sky:
ar more pale an sanity.
Wrapper in leaves ye lie
Eyin As lid en- sleep, In faiths
simplicity.
There the wild robin
Hymns your solitude;
And the rain comes sobbing
Through the budding wood,
While the low south wind signs, but
Dare not be more rude.
We're your pure lips fashioned
Out of air and dew
Starlight uuimpassioned.
Dawn's most tender huey
And scented by the woods that gathered
Sweets for you,
Fairest and most lovely,
From the world apart,
Made for beauty only,
Yelled from natures heart.
With such uncon scious grace, as makes
The dream Of art.
We're not mortal sorrow,
An immortal shade,
Then would tomorrow
Such flower be made,
And live in the dear woods, where
MY lost childhood played!

from disgraceiul punishment, unjustly
inflicted upon him? He raised his face
to the lamp-chimney, caught it within
his mouth, tore it down, and let the
burning petroleum run down his body.
Nor did he utter o sound while his
clothes caught the flames and his body
began to SINCE. 1t was not till the
nauseating smell of the burning flesh
began to penetrate the bathrooms that
the fact of Somoff's suicide was discov-
cred. He still fingered twenty-four
hours, but amid the most horrible
pains did not utter O cry. His only
complaint was that, being perfectly
ready to stand trial and suffer the laws
penalty, he had been subjected to an
unlawful and disgraceful punishment.

A YOUNG Japanese lately played a
game of billiards against three of the
best players, united, at Moscow. The
game was 5000 points at carom for
$4,000 rubles. The Jap's first run was
1853 points. The game lasted fourteen
hours, and he won by three points,

lowlands, the States on the coast, such
as the Carolinas and Georgia, had their
"sand-hillers," the people of the "piney
woods or tar region, to exhibit in
wide contrast to the wealthy rice and
cotton-planters of the same common
wealths. While, as almost every one
knows, it was hard to find anywhere
within the bounds of the nationality
men of more education and travelled in
telligence than the latter, many of them
spending successive years abroad along
with their families; the sand-hillers,"
on the other hand, presented phases of
life, Of poverty, of almost total igno-
rance and simplicity, such as seems
hard to accredit any portion of this
country with, unless demonstrated as
such by personal observation. And yet
there they were and are, and it does not
need discussion of their peculiarities
here to establish the fact that such ex-
ist, since in various sketches of those
regions, by their own local writers-by
Judge Longstreet, for instance-they
bave been set forth graphically and at
length. Let the traveller meet with, for
instance, in the "piney woods" men
going fifteen or twenty miles with a
cart, the wheels with hickory tires, and
the rude vehicle loaded with a single
barrel of tar, worth, perhaps, 81, with
the inevitable jug along to contain in
part the proceeds OF the long journey
and the barter; Let him often enough

WORDS OF WIsDoM-The great man is he
who does not lose his child's heart
To be dumb for the remainder of life is bet
ter than to speak falsely.
It is fool who praises himself, and mad
man who speaks i'll of himself.
There are many idlers to whom a penny
begged is swoeter than a shilling earned.
Nature has sown in man seeds of knowledge,
but they must be cultivated to produce fruit.
Clouds are the veil behind which the face of
day coquettishly hides itself, to enhance its
beauty.
When your captious neighbor tells you there
is no such thing as honest man, you may be
sure he is himself a knave.
How many men there are who think they
are making themselves popular, when they
are only making themselves ridiculous.
A word, q look, which at one time would
make no impression, at another time wounds
the heart and like shaft flying with the
wind, pierces deep, which, with its own nat
ural force, would scarce have reached the OBJ
ject aimed at.
Life is in living. The marble palace is not
always the bower of love. Every kind word
is flower which will beautify our final
home. Every good deed IS an evergreen which
will mark our resting place.
Besides the pleasure derived from acquired
knowledge, there turks in the mind OF man
and tinged with a shade of sadness an unsat-
sfactory longing for something beyond the
present. striving toward regions yet un-
known and unopened.

A good natured looking young man of 25,
accompanied by a modest appearing young
woman of about the same age, evidently his
wife and just made so, yesterday called upon
a Griswold street insurance agent to see about
insuring her life. After some preliminary
conversation the agent inquired what sum
they had in mind.
g want her insured for Mt least million
dollars" promptly replied the husband rs he
reached over and patted her on the head
The agent figured up the premium and
stated the amount. The wife turned pale as
death, and the husband lost pound of flesh
a minute.
g But take a smaller sum, say 1--WE or ten
thousand dollars" suggested the agent.
"Not cent less'n million - exclaimed
the husband. eff she amt worth that she
amt worth nothing, and as | can't chalk up
for million we'll CO."
And go they did, stopping neither for argu-
ment or good wishes. --Free Press.

POETRY.
BETWEEN THE LIGHTS.


A little pause in life. while daylight fingers.
Between the sunset and the pale moon-risc,
When daily labor slips from weary fingers.
And soft gray shadows veil theaching eyes;
Old perfumes wander back from the fields OF clover
Seem In the light OF suns which long have set.
Beloved ones whose earthly toll Is over.
Draw as If they lived among usFet.
Old voices calline- through the dusk returning
hear the echo OF departed feet,
And when ask with vain and troubled yearning
What is the charm which makes old things so sweet
Must the old joys be evermore witholden?
Even their memory keeps me pure and true
And yet from out Jerusalem the golden
God speaketh, saying, I" make all things new"
"Father!" cry, "the cd must still be nearer,
Stfe my love, give me back the past
Give Inc the fair old earth whose paths are dearer
Than all Thy shining streets aud mansions vast"
Peace peace the Lord of earth and Heaven knoweth
The human souiin all its heat and strife;
Out of His throne no stream of Lcthe howeth,
But the clear riserof eternal life.
He giveth life. aye life in all its sweetness;
= Old loves, old sunny scenes, will He restore;
Only thaeprse of sin and Incompetence
Shall faint thine earth and thy heart no more
Serve Him in daily work and earnest living,
And faith shall lift thee to his sunlight heights;
Then shall psalm of gladness and thanksgiving
Fill the calm hour that comes between the lights.

A REFORM DEMANDING AID.
rRor. DAVID SWING.


In all times those who have paused to sum
up the great evils OF society have been conn
PEELED to mention intemperauco as prominent
in the horrid tllrong When St. Paul was
watching to mark against what persons the
gates Of heaven would be shut he beheld the
drunkards in that unfortunate number. AS
their poisonous breath and staggering forms
drew near those portals the gates moved sol
EMMY together, to shut out from heavens
purity so much mental and physical deflle-
meut. To the Bible estimate of this evil the
old outside thinkers added their verdicts. -
Seneca defined drunkenness as being " vol
untary madness mot a madness brought on
by broken heart or by sickness or by nature,
but by ones own self One writer remarks
that brutes will not drink to excess, and that
drunkenness places man SO much below
brutes as reason elevatcs him above them. -
The estimate which Douglass Jerrold places
upon the vice is that 6 is the cpitome ofall
crime" st. Augustine, who passed up into
Christianity from the sickiy vale of low life,
said drunkenness is flattering devil which
whatsoever hath no longer hath himself
Toward the contemplation of this evil, to-
ward measurement of it's vastness, aud to-
ward the plan for its cure, all who wish well
to society must turn at times that, by word
and example they may take some part in this
indispensable reform. 1t has been the lament
of many statesman, and many an investiga-
tor of natures laws and forces that life was
1rnx, inn m 10 r1nc md t,oI ,,r,E
yet seen the people in possession of national
peace and prosperity, or the world in the en-
joyment of some thrilling discovery of some
secret of the universe. Thoughts like those
of the discoverer should gil the heart CT every
Christian and moralist, making him wish that
he might not leave earth until he had done
something toward modifying or destroying
such python as intemperancc. A lady of
wealth and fashion in neighboring city, be-
ing called upon in the hight of her personal
culture and influence to die of consumption,
expressed the deepest regret that she had taken
little part in the reforms that surrounded her.
1t is most pitiful that we all sec the greatest
duties of the world only in the solemn hour
when we are leaving it. 1t is not natures
plan, but our fault. We are willingly blind
to the great things around us, and, as the
prodigal son when he had found the desert
world, looked back and for the first time saw
the sweetness of his fathers house, SO we
wander away in our vanity and folly, and at
last, from bed of bodily disease and spirit
ual husks and rags, we look back and see the
matchless charms of an age and land to
which we are bidding farewell. This is not
natures fault SO much as her revenge. She
gives us glimpse of the glory we declined
TO pursue and accept.
