A SHADOW IN THE VALLEY.

There's shadow in the valley
Where the lilies lie asleep
Where the laughing waters murmur,
And the sweet fiags droop and weep.
There's a shadow in the valley,
And a sigh floats In the air,
Like the breath OF angels resting
Ger the fair scene mirrored there.
Such shadow in the valley
Brings n burden to my heart;
Cannot you, too, understand u?
Have you never felt It's smart?
have watched the lilies lying,
have seer the sweet ffags weep,
And have wished that ], when dying,
Might be laid with them to sleep.
! have heard the breezes murmur
Low soft songs with n this vale;
have seen the blackbird hover
Ger the lilies fair and pale,
| have keen ray of sunlight
Linger mong the reeds, at play;
But the silent creeping shadow
Chased the merry sprite away.
Like the human heart. o'ershadowed
BY sorrow swift and deep,
Lie the sweet flags and the lilies
In the shadowy vale asleep.
There's melancholy sweetness
In the Perfume laden air.
And the tall reeds seem to whisper
you'll find sorrow evelyw here"

A correspondent at Cincinnati says the
offer of Mr.. &. j. Langsdale, editor OF
the Greencastle Banner, to provide
homes for all colored men who will go
to Indiana from the South is beginning
to bear fruit. A colony of $50 families
of negroes is expected to arrive from
North Carolina in few weeks. The
agents of the proposed colony write that
others will follow their steps If the ex-
pertinent of the vanguard proves success

Betting On A Dead Thing.
San'Francisco tock-Report.

One of the frequenters of brokers'
office in this city is man who will bet
on any kind of a proposition. When
he enters the office in the morning he
greets the gentlemen present by saying.
Mornin', boys Is there anything any
OF we want to bet on this mornin, z"
And he hangs around all day watching
for chances to bet; and if man VEN
lures an opinion about the stock
market, hints that perhaps Sierra Ne
vada may sell for 40 next week, he will
bounce on him like hawk on June
bug, and offer to bet him hundred
that it don't sell for 40 in six years.
The other day the boys put up job OH
him. They got fly, dipped its feet in
mucilage, and stuck it on sash-frame
in the office. Flies-are pretty thick
around this Office Of course, there's
not much for fly to eat in brokers'
office; but, between ink, and mucilage,
and the breath of the clerks, they man
age to exc out subsistence. Pretty soon
another fly sailed in through the front
door from restaurant around the cor
ner, and settled down on the sash near
the fly that the boys had fixed, and in
few moments the betting-man dropped
in, with his usual salutation about bet
ting. After some preliminary skirmish-
ing about not being on the gamble, be-
ing busted in stocks, and other little by
plays to make the betting man think
they were not anxious for wager, one
of the boys spoke up and said
Pard, I'll tell you what | will do;
I'll bet you that fly in the corner of that
sash moves before that other fly about
six inches from him does"
