 thy wild, wild dreams, Thy delineate aspirations beguilet
 myself to wrong;
 those of fabled sphynx times, But I solved early that you scornet
 my passion so deep and strong; Coquettish fancy exhibited thy Jus
 to reign King, Within a sperule to the world thou
 blushed to own. Thy motive was luculent-thy pano-
 ramic visions mock thee As echo did the prisoner chained to
 Gothic pillar in the dungeon of
 Chiffon. Thou sought to win too soon that
 which thou feigned to love Thy dauntless. restless daring broke the rosy chain. Love on, seek and strive fairly to win her thou lost; Dispel the fears that clog thy heart {; banish unfair, romantic dreams. Time will not tarry when the world will shrlnk at it's coming destiny, AS thou d1d at thy defiumations, and Mohammed at the flight from Meca, in July. Be thou lowly in thy wooings, hence forth be thou true as the flight of time; Every star in the dome was made to rebel in the light of others, To pluck it from the spacious vault would dim it's shine.
  Let loftier aims attract thy vision, and enchain thy thoughts, And sweet memory paint her airy images of years agone; Of a love, deep, unfathomed, that once thy bosom cherished, The fallen may yet return to claim thee as her own.
 RECONCILIATION. Take now the price for which thou l madly bartered Thy first, best love, and in thy lonely | grief Be not broken-hearted, nor feed on the poison of the laurel leaf; hrink from the applause of Flat tery's fawning troop, ,urse within thy cheated hearts recesses he demon firtation-and myself, It's dupe. Iy simple rhymes were induced from a lesson of filtration, Which wrecked your gilded bark upon phantom sea; lis sad, yet sweet, in prosy verse to read Iemories of the past, and surmise the yet to be. Without thee I'm lonely as the isle between the Rhone and Villeneuve, hough its shores are washed by water from the heights of Neil ei7e; or thy sex. and thee, my muse holds a moral, find it and remember, his crushed heart is the wreck of thy design, Il that glitters is not gold, roses bloom not in December.

4 story of how the Srnccas Divided
SURPLUS Fund.

A story comes to us from Salamanca,
which we reproduce. Recently some
expired leases were renewed by the
Seneca council, among them being
one which, by reason of the inn
provements made upon it, was 50
valuable that thousand dollars bonus
was paid to renew it. The council of
Indians gravely decided that this
money was their own property, and
il was agreed that the board bills of
the members and officers should be
paid out of it, and the balance divided
among them. They went to a lawyer
of the town and asked him TO make an
equitable division ofthe money, which
he agreed to do. Then the braves
went back to the council hall with the
proud consciousness of having per-
formed worthily their duty-the more
so. as the board bills they intended to
nav could not be collected by legal
process, But there were mutteTings
of discomfort among some of them,
which eliminated in another consul
tation over the disposal ofthe bonanza.
They disputed and wrangled after the
most approved fashion Of the pale faces,
and finally settled upon a course
widely different from that agreed uUOn
at first. \ tall, cOpper-eOlOred son Of
the forest was instructed TO inform
the attorney Of their conclusion, and
accordingly he went down to the
Office Of the attorney and saluted him
with:
: uSay. Davie, we 'clude to make
different 'rangements ,bOut that
nancy. We decide let board bill 90
10 HI, and we take whole thousand
dollar to divide upin
This settled it. Tie attorney
whacked up the money among the in
telligent Indians, and everybody,
except the hOtel-keepers, was satisfied.

A Possible Relic of DE Sofa.

The Tallahassee Floridian says
A few years ago, about two miles east
OF Tallahassee, was found ponderous
spur of unique and curious Workman
ship, the like of which has not been
seen in modern times. The burr was
one and half inches in diameter and
the bar proportionately heavy. On
either side of the rowel danglcd small
pendant bells that gave forth Il tink-
ling sound in response to each step Of
the WcarCr-dOubtless some stecl-Clad
and bOnnctcd warrior of the long ago.
Not many days since, while parties
were blowing near the identical spot
n solid mass was turned up, which,
upon closer examination, proved to be
an iron stirrup Of ancient pattern, as
heavy and as massive in proportion as
thospur spoken Of first, and firmly i'm
bcdded in Il thick coating of clay and
rust. When this was removed, the
stirrup was found to be in remarkable
good state of preservation. The sides
represent two Ethiopian figures stand
ing upon the fOnt-reSt, leaning forward
facing each other while they support
with outStretchcd arms what forms the
top of the stirrup, or that part which
is connected with the leather. So I'M
like are both these relics to anything
known to the generations of this day
and time, and, both being found 50 near
the same place, it is not unreasonable to
to ascribe them to the same era and
Nor is the suppositiOn

Chas. w. Carraway, of Mississippi n
student of the National College, played
very good joke ON member of Con-
gress recently. While visiting this
Congressman in Washington, the con-
Versatlon happened to turn upon deaf
mutes. Mr.. Carraway greatly as
tonished the Nations Legislator by
remarking that there were over 81, 900
of 'em in the. United States; and still
further astonished the Scion by saying
that the deaf-mutes are going to hold
q National Convention at Cincinnati
this summer. The Congressman
opened his eyes wide, and asked
whom they were going TO nominate
for President and Vice-President. Mr..
Carraway gravely replied: "Prof.
McGregor, of Ohio, for President; and
j. II. Tillinghast, of Massachusetts,,
for Vice-President." "McGregor and
Tillinghast I never heard of them
before" the Congressman replied. BY
this time Mr.. Carraway could control
himself no longer, and in order to ex-
plain his burst oflaughter, said to the
mystified Congressman that they were
MT going to nominate President of
the United States, but they We're
going to hold, not a political con-
vention, but merely one for pleasure
and profit. The Congressman now
saw the joke, and laughed as heartily
as the rest who were present.
We copy the above from late issue
of the New York Deaf-Mute Journal
Mr.. Carraway is Il brother of our
townsman, Capt. J. G. Carraway, and
is visiting his relatives in this county

A pure, sun-passionate morning, with

With the crowds of our populous planet
Pvc mingled like other men,
But friendship like our old friendship |

No eyes like thine eyes can charm me.

No clasp like thy clasp can thrill me, no

never lose faith in thee.

Dark and wild and uncertain are the de-
vious paths of men;
And far, so far, are we severed by noun

And this is a land OF partings and funeral

But whether we meet, or whether we meet
