Some years ago DR.. r. V. Pierce,
was sent for to examine a terrible
disease of the knee-joint, resulting
in liberation and extensive slough
ing of the bone and tissues. The
mans life had been dispared of by
the previous attendants. Amputa-

treatment to purify the blood and
prevent a recurrence OF the malady

LADY RNR0N's ANsWERTO LORD
BYR0N'S FAREWELL.

fes3 farewell-farewellf oreverf
Thou myself hast fixed our doom,
Babe hope. s fairest blossoms wlther,
Never again for me 90 bloom
fnforgiring thou hast called me
tAidst thou ever say f0rgiveg
For the wretch whose wiles beguiled thee,
Thou alone didst seem 70 live.
short the space which time has given
To complete thy loves decay;
BY unhallowed passion driven,
Soon thy heart was taught TO stray.
Lived for me that feeling tender
Which thy verse Sd well can show,
From my arms why didst thou wander,
Ny endearments why ferego
Oh, two late thy breast was bare,
Oh, too soon 70 me twas shown,
That thy love 4 once but shared.
And already IL Is flown.
Mrapt in dreams Of joy abiding
On thy breast my head hath lain,
in thy love and truth cOntding,
Bliss meier can know again.
What dark hour dill first discover
In thy soul the hideous strain
Would these eyes had closed forever,
Never 10 weep thy crimes again.
But the impious wish, % heaven!
From thy blotted record be;
Yes. i would live, q Byron,
For the babe I've borne Tor thee!
In whose lovely features let me,
All my weakness here confess,
Whilst the struggling tears permit me,
All the father's can trace;
He whose image never leaves me,
He whose image still prize,
Who this bitterest feeling gave me,
SIN 10 love where / despise.
With regret and sorrow rather.
When our child's first accents flow,
] Will teach her TO say father,
But his guilt she ne'er shall know,
Whilst tomorrow and tomorrow
Wakes me from a widowed bed;
On annthcr's arm no sorrow
Wilt thou feel, no tear wilt she'd
i, the world s approval sought not,
When / tore myself from thee;
Offs praise or blame / thought not
What's its praise or blame 10 me-
He so praised-sO loved-adOred.
From his heart my image drove,
On my head contempt has poured
And preferred wantOn's love.
Thou artproud, but mark me Byron,
I have heart proud as thy own,
Soft 10 love, but hard as iron
When contempt is DER 10 thrown;
But farewell I'm not upbraid thee,
Never, never wish the i'll
Wretched though my crimes have made
me,
Ifthou can'st be happy still.

ACCORDING to their invariable
custom the republican leaders have
plenty of compliments and promis-
es for the south, now that the cleo
ton is over, aud they think to
strengthen their power in congress
by the vote of renegade democrats.
All their political strategy before
the election was devoted to the task
of fomenting sectional animosity
and cementing the solid south.
Now that there is no need to fire
the northern heart with bitter de-
nunciation of the south they are
overlooking with love and kindness
for the same sOuthernerS they heap
ed with opprobrium during the
campaign.

WHERE Is YoUH BOY TO-NIGHTe

Life Is teemlng with evil snares.
The gates OF sin are wide,
The rosy fingers Of pleasure wave
And beckon the young inside.
Man Of the world with open purse,
Seeking your own delight,
Pause, ere reason is wholly gone
Where is your boy tO-nigbt2
Sirens are singing on every hand,
LuriEg the ear Of youth;
Gilded falsehOOd with silver notes
DrOwneth the voice % ruth
Dainty lady in costly robes,
Your parlOrs CLEAN with light,
Fate and beauty your senses steep
Where Is your boy tonight?
Tempting whispers OF royal spoil
Flatter the youthful soul
Eagerly entering into life,
Festive Of all control.
Needs are many, and duties stern
Crowd on the weary sight;
Father buried in business cares,
Where is your boy Tonight
Pitfalls luriI in the fiowery way,
Vice has "a golden gate,
Who shall guide the unwary feet
Into the highway straight
Patient worker with willing hand
Keeping the hearth-hOme bright,
Tiresl mother with tender eyes,
Where is your boy tonight?
Turn his feet from evil paths
Ere they have entered in,
Keep him unspOtted while yet ye may,
Earth is so stained with sin.
Ere he has learned to follow wrong,
Teach him 10 love the right
Watch, ere watching Is wholly vain
Where is your boy tonight?

Ehe True Wife.
O. w. Holmes.

Oftentimes / have seen Il tall ship
glide by against the tide, as if drawn
by an invisible tow line with a hun
dred strong arms pulling 1t. Her
sails unfurled, her streamers droop-
ing, she had neither side-wheel nor
stern-wheel; still she moved on,
stately, in serene triumph, as with
her own life. But l knew that on
the other side of the ship, hidden
beneath the great bulk that swan
50 majestically, there was a little
toilsome steam tug, with a heart of
fire and arms of iron, that was tug
ging it bravely on; and l knew that
if the little steam tug untwined her
arms and left the ship, it would wal
low and roll away, and drift hither
and thither, and go off with the
effluent tide no man knows where;
and so l have known more than one
genius high-decked, full-freighted,
wide-sailed, gay-pennoned, but for
the bare tOiling arm and brave,
warm heart of the faithful little wife
that nestled close to him so that no
wind or wave could part them, he
would have gone down with the
stream and been heard of no more.

TEO Ways of Looking at Things.

New Haven Register.
Two boys went to hunt grapes.
One was happy because they found
grapes. The other was unhappy be-
cause the grapes had seeds in them.
Two men being convalescent were
asked how they were. One said: 81
am better to-day" The other said:
81 was worse yesterday"
When it rains one man says:
"This will make mud" Another /:
"This will lay the dust"
Two children looking through
cOlOred glasses, one said: "The
world is blue" And the other said:
at is bright"
Two boys eating their dinner, one
said: 81 would rather have some
thing other than this" The other
said: ''This is better than nothing"
A servant thinks a mans house is
principally kitchen. A guest, that
it is principally parlor.

man. 81 am sorry that | must die"
says another.
no worse.5' IL am sorry" says an
other; "that it is no better"
One man counts everything that
he has a gain. Another counts
everything else than he receives
loss
One man spoils a good repast by
thinking of a better repast of an
other. Another one enjoys a poor
Tepast by contrasting it with none
at all.
One man is thankful for his bless
ings. Another is ElOrose for his mis-
fortunes.
One man thinks he is entitled to
a better world, and is dissatisfied be-
cause he hasn't got it. Another
teinks he is not justly entitled to
any, and is satisfied with this.
One man makes up his account
from his wants. Another from his
assets.

dence at MansbOrO, Va. 1t is about
three feet long and has a horn on

To describe the solid south as a

who manufacture this drivel do not
believe it. No doubt it has its in
fiuence on old women and men af-

men are not deceived by it. The
south is the weaker section, and can
do nothing unaided. She has all to
lose and nothing to gain by a sec

self-deience. Besides, she is dem
ocratic from conviction, and will
not change her politics for the sake
of few postOffices.
