When I am dead,
Kind friends will gather round rny sense
less clay.
viii kiss my pale. cold lips perhaps
will lay
A loving hand upon my marble brow
In fond caress. Oh friends, caress me
now,
While yet my lips can feel your gentle
Or heart eau thrill with ccstacy of bliss.
When / am dead.
Fond friends will show the garments !

Recall the tender words that have said !;
Make no remark, upon my clouded brow
Or angry words. Oh. friends, be lenient
now,
While yet may rejoice DER faults for
given,
Or earth become an ante.past of heaven.
When I am dead,
Kind friends will strew fresh flowers up
on my bier,
Will place in my cold hands exotics rare ;
But sLall see no flowers, know no per-
fume.
Jesus alone can cheer the silent tomb;
Oh friends, strew flowers along my pill
grim way,
But make no bed upon my lifclcss clay

THE FRIEND OF MY YOUTH.
Friend Of my youth, undylnE friend,
That never to the heart grows old.
Unchanged by time-ah! thankfully
Thy hand once more in mine hold.

Friend Of my youth, undylnE friend,
That never to the heart grows old.
Unchanged by time-ah! thankfully
Thy hand once more in mine hold.
Faithful and true through storm and calm,
Thy warm and joyous greeting thrills
AS, after close and sultry duy,
Tho burning cheeks cool breeze dlls-
With throbbing breasts We sit and speak
OF past and present joy and care,
While tender thoughts their story tell
Upon thy tempting red Lips fair.
Thy merry laughter, eager words,
The blood send conrsing It through each vetu'
In cold Deoember's icy reign,
From warm and drowsy flre-side,
The sharp wind strikes the tingllng nerves,
And vaulting visions with tt soar.
Thy qulokened breathing, lightning eyes,
When said q sac1 q one a. thee.
Through sparK11nc aests and repartees
subdued and gnaYeEthoughts make way,
As when, through gay and noisy atreeta,
a funeral train, in Deaths array,
It's dreaded serpent line extends, ::
While mep bow down their heads, aud feel
Thnt homely, agonizing grief
Which only time and love eau neal
4 modest, shrinking blush, called forth
By mention Of thy kindly deeds,
Rests crfmsontng upon thy cheek
4 rose sprung up from Heavenly seeds:
AS when, upon Sumuer-morn,
The bright sun streaming through the hall.
Fills with u ruddr. peaceful glow
Some dark room nestled In the wall.
Thy features rich. impassioned play
Stirs up the mind to nobler thought
AWakes ambition long asleep
Starts dazzling dreams OF honors wrought.
Thy generous friendship, all uubought,
II poverty or wealth the same,
Thaws through the bound love Of man,
And fans Its sttded, dying flame
Thy womaus force to rule'or serve;
To spurn. lead on, and fascinate.
God given, strong, yet merC1fu1,
Thy gracious acts extenuate.
Thy deeds are famous, and thy sdn
Is not the shulow 1ugglery
OF gifted hands, but plainly bears
Tho impress Of the soul. Ah mel
Thou hadst no need of mighty works
To show thy worth. to mankind's race;
Great In the goodness OF thy heart,
God wrote His greatness on thy face.
Thy priceless love, o who shall VIM
Q who can make thy quecnly heart
Flutter against its prison-walls,
Trembling and pleading to depaTt2
Thy fiery nature once aroused,
Must love with genius Wondrou5 power,
Unswervfng, passionate, and blind,
Simple and trusting as Hover.
And o Il, from thy pure hearts choice,
Some cruel Judgment thee should wean,
How sad that that so faithful heart
Should blossom, live, and die unseen.
Dear childhood's friend, too soon at last
Thy hand in farewell must claSp;
Heaven grant we meet again on Earth
Heaven grant We meet with friendships grasp.

- Lord Augustus Lotus is now the ruler-of tho
Queens cotauista ia New South Wales. Lord
Luftus, whose name would seem to harmonize
with bis temper, sent for barber, tho other
day, to come to the Government House ID the
1norning and shave bis lordship. The barber
cA1ne i'll cub and was detained In the outer
rooms until he sent word that he could stay no
longer. He was then admitted, and performed
the service, for which he charged his lordship
more thau dollar. He complained ut the price
as outrageous, and was answered that "a
hansom cab had been waiting outside for
an an hour ., So he was paitaa pnta buE n ne1t

his ears, and repeated hts message, to
which be got the same hnswe-. Horror-stricken,
&c carried buck the -1nsolcnt minfon's reply.
One OF Lord Lotus eGns was sent 70 the saucy
varlet to cleave tho RASCAL to the chine: but ho
confined his clcaving to the chin. when

suit to her Mujcsty, and that he must take
down DO the royal arms oE bis door: TO which the
BASIN born barber replied that the Duke Of
Edinburg had given him permission to put up
the arms, and that he would see Lord LOTUS In
= loWher, not to say hotter, place than New,
South Wales in January, before he would either
take down his arms or 30 on his knoeS at the
bidding of tbs, whole British peerage. !.

Letter from John ". Norris.

To ths Editor Of The chicago Tribune.
CHICAGO, May 8.-It was not my intention to
notice by any newspaper reply the scandalous
and false statements and inputauons published
in your paper Of April Is as an abstract OF
oross~bill purportfng to be filed BY one ". H.
Hopkins against his wife, but many OF my
friends have urged that ought not to allow
such matter to pass in silence. until the slow
administration Of the courts shall demonstrate
the fnlsehood and mnlce thereof. ...
therefore briefly say that each and every
statement in the said cross bill charging any
improper conduct whatever Of Mrs Fl. with my
self are utterly false. and Hopkins and the per-
sons who instigated him to sign the bill, fully
believe, made the statements knowing them to
be false, and seeking in scandalous and ma
me under the protecting shadow Of proceed
ing in court
The statemant that Is put into tho mouth Of
Hopkins twho was absent from the city for
year previous to my late wife's death, and who,
therefore, could have known nothing OF the
Of broken heart Is entirely false, as 1t can be
proved by hosts Of witnesses TINT she died ct
cancer, which deAed the best medical skfll, and
which was from its inception considered 1ncura-
Bile by such eminent physicians as DR.. r. n.
1shHu, her regular medical attendant, Prof.
and no one will allege otherwise, unless 1t be
with intent maliciously to tujure me thereby.
The statement that house WAS fitted up By
me for Mrs. II. is also without any truth what
ever.
I respectfully ask Of all who may have read
these falsehoods to withhold their opinions un-
til the proof OF the false and malicious character
and purpose of them shall be proven and devel-
oped4 aS 1t will be in due time.
