THE LOST KISS.

put by the half written poem,
While the pen, idly trailed in my hand,
Writes on, Had | words to complete it,
Who'd read it or who'd understand"
But the little bare feet on the stairway
And faint smothered laugh in the hall,
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence
Cry up TO me over it all.
So gather it up-where was broken
The tear-faded thread of my theme,
Telling how, rs one night sat writing,
A fairy broke in on my dream.
4 little inquisitiye fairy
My own little girl with the gold
OF the sun in her hair, and he dewy
Blue eyes of the fairies old.
Twas the dear little girl that scolded-
"For was it a moment like this"
said-"Wlen she knew | was busy
To come IoLping in for kiss?
Come rowdying up from her mother;
And clamorlng there at my knee
For "One little kiss for my dolly,
And one little UZZer for mei'
God pity the heart that repealed her,
And the cold hand that turned her away,
And take from the lips that denied her
This answerless prayer Of today
Take. Lord, from my memory forever,
That pitiful sob of dispair;
And the patter and trip of the bare little feet
And the one piercing cry on the stair!
| put by the half-written poem
While the pen, idly trailed in my hand,
Writes on, Had | words to complete it,
Who'd read it or who'd UNDERESTIMATE
But the little bare feet on the stairway,
And the faint smothered laugh in the hal
And the eerie-low lisp on the silence,
Cry up to me over it all.

GOODNIGHT.

Goodnight; have to say goodnight
To such a host of peerless things!
Goodnight unto that fragile hand
All queenly with its weight of rings;
Goodnight 10 fond, uplifted eyes,
Goodnight unto the Perfect mouth,
And all the sweetness nestled there
The snowy hand detains me, then
I'll have to say goodnight again!
But there will come time. my love,
When if | read our stars Alright,
shall not linger by this porch
With my adieus. Till then good night!
You wish the time were now? And !,
You do not blush TO wish it SO?
You would have blushed yourself to death
To own so much a year ago
What, both these snowy hands? All, then
I'll have to say goodnight again.

The COlOred Juryman.

Gen. Thomas Harrison, who was
commander OF Texas regiment dur
ing the war, and known by the boys as
the "Jim Town Major" was soon after
the war elected Judge of one of the
districts of Texas. Shortly after his
election he visited one of the counties
in his district for the purpose of hold.
ing his court. He arrived at the coun-
ty town on Sunday evening, and sent
for the Sheriff and asked him if a jury
had been summoned for the court, and
if any upon the jury were colored.
The Sheriff replied he had summoned
jury, but there were no colored men
on the jury, and but few in the county.
Judge Harrison told him, under the re-
cent order of the Department Com
mander, no legal jury could be impan-
eled unless one or moro negroes were
on it, and ordered him to have some
negroes in attendance on the following
morning, TO be placed upon the jury
The Sheriff, after some trouble, sue
ceeded in finding three or four negroes,
and upon organizing the court Judge
Harrison placed one on each jury.
About the first case called was one
against party for murder. After
hearing the evidence, arguments of
counsel, and charge Of the court, the
jury started downstairs to consider
their verdict, the colored juror happen
ing to be in the rear. Following them
was the attorney for the defendant. At
the head of the stairs (and in hearing
of the colored juror the attorney was
asked by friend how he thought the
case would DO decided The reply
was, "a think the defendant will be ac-
quilted or the jury will be hung"
The jury went down the steps and
out in the yard, and upon looking
around the colorcd member was miss
ing. Upon investigation, they saw him
making 2;40 time in the direction Of
the brush. The Sheriff was called
and, after vigorous pursuit, Mr.. Ju-
ror was captured and brought before
the court and asked why he had run
away. His reply was, He had heard
a gentleman say II the man wasn't
cleared tho jury would be hung, and
and as he hadn't done nothing be
didn't want to take any chances" "a

A Parrot Yarn.

A lady friend is very fond of parrots,
and determined to get one at any cost.
Living near by her was Frenchman,
who owned a very fine specimen of the
bird, and the lady threw longing and
covetOus eyes at it. 1t could talk like a
woman, and Mrs. Blank at last resolved
to own that parrot The other day,
being acquainted with the Frenchman,
she made up her mind to ask him to
part with it. She called upon him To
part with it. She called upon him fol
that purpose.
"Now, Mr. Napoleon she pleaded,
''you must let me have that parrot"
"Oh, madame" he said, 81 could

She pleaded in vain, Napoleon could
not be moved.
A few days later she called again
but still the Frenchman was immovable
81 tell you what do. l gee you two
nice parrote eggs for ten dollar. AL
you hat to do is to place zem in some
cotton, and zey hatch zemselves ou,

The bargain was made, and the lady
withdrew in a delighted frame of mind.
She did as directed, and in course OF
time the eggs were Matched; but, in
staad of ,Itun parrOta ~ n braoa of rho

Mrs. Blank hurried to the man and

Mr.. Napoleon looked surprised.

Not very long ago portion Of hard
dry skin was found underneath the EN-.
bossed head of a huge iron nail tha&
was fixed into the door of the Chapter'
House, at Westminster. Upon thu
skin were found several hairs. Mr.
Quekett, Curator of the Museum of the

hair to be human, and asserted that IL
belonged to a fair-haired person. In;
former times the Danes used to como

skins nailed to the door of the churchl

Summary Ways.

The head of o bureau in an important
government department has long been
afflicted with friend who calls upon
him regularly and sits down, and Sits,
and sits, and goes on sitting till assault
and battery becomes virtue.
The other day this scdentary bore
was in the full exercise Of his functions,
when suddenly the official, who had
been scrutinizing him closely, cries
II knew it! was sure OF it! Con-
found those ofice-boys with their tricks
on strangers, They've been putting
glue on your chair again, Hi, John,
bring spongue and pail Of water"
and pressing with all his weight on the
shoulders Of his victim to keep him
down he continues, don't stir, you'd
tear the cloth sure! Nothing is half so
adhesive as glue on cane-seat chair
Here, John, moisten this gentleman so
that we can get him loose. Don't spare
the water-the cloth won't shrink or
fade"
The faithful messenger obeyed, and
when the operation is concluded, the
official conducts the visitor to the door
and bids him farewell with the remark,
Perhaps you want to hurry home and
change your clothing, so | won't keep
you. Good-byi bless you! II your pan
falcons are spoiled let me know and
I'll stop the price Of them out of the
pay of the Internal scoundrel if | can
find out who he was, and to that task
will devote all the energies of my life
time, and the whole machinery of the
government. Adieu! The scoundrel, |
thought for several days past that there
was something wrong"
His friend goes ike the visions OF
youth, never to return.

THE Charleston News and Courier
has published a long and interesting
paper concerning the cotton fac
tories of South Carolina from which
we condense the following: There
are II cotton factories in the State,
which have a capital of $2,288,60O;
they have 95, 438 spindles and 1888
looms. They produce 1O1,338
yards of cloth and 1888 pounds
of yarn each full working day, and
consume in the same time 81, 049
pounds of raw cotton. They have
in their direct employ 2,296 opera.
tives, on whose wages 1913 persons
are dependent for support. The
amount paid out in wages each
month is $30,094. The statistics
show that every 1928 invested in
cotton manufactures supports one
person. The cotton which in its
raw state only sells for an aver
age of ten cents is made into
yarn, which sells for % to % cents.
and the profit as we'll as the money
for wages, kept at home. The
profits of the factories, notwith-
standing the hard times, have
ranged from is to Is per cent. a
year on the capital invested. The
largest factory is the Graniteville,
with 24,S40 spindles and 584 looms,
which produce $4,000 yards of
cloth per day, and employ IT'S
operators. The capital of this and
the Yanclure factory are combined
and is 100000, now worth ST.,
100000. The Charlottesville fac,
tory has only $50 spindles and EN-,
ploys only u operatives, but makes
rs per cent. profit on 100000. A
large farm is connected with the
factory. The reporter asked the
opinion Of nearly all the superin-
tendents as to factory run by
steam, and the reply was that
with cheap coal it was better than
water-power. ......
In this connection we may add
that the Chattanooga factory is far
behind its orders. Why not one

NARROW PARrrsANsHIP.n

Some Democratic wiseacres have
made the discovery that President
Hayes is a "narrow partisan," and
give as evidence, that he appointed
all Republicans to the Census Su-
pervisorships in Ohio OF coarse
when such charge is made by a
sensible man he expects only those
to believe it who are utterly igno-
rant of the facts. AS to the Ohio
Supervisors, it has never been
claimed that they were not honest,
capable men. They were rejected
by a Democratic Senate because
they were Republicans. No other
reason was given.
But now as to the facts bearing
upon the Presidents alleged "nar-
row craftsmanship" We undertake
to say that the records will show
that he has appointed more Demo,
Gratis to Office than all the Demo
cratic Presidents from Gen. Jack
son down appointed from the party
opposed to them. Who ever heard
of Democratic President appoint
ing Wing or Republican to any
Office Of honor or profit? Go into
States where there are Democratic
Governors. Did any one ever hear
of one Of them appointing Repub-
lican to Office? No such thing
was ever heard of. If Samuel ].
Tilden had been elected President
in 1876, does any one suppose that
he would now appoint a single Re
publican Supervisor Of the Census
in any State in the Union? The
charge Of marrow partisanship"
comes with an i'll grace from any
Democratic politician.
