HE AND sHE.n

|
'she is dead" they said to him; .come away;
Kiss her and leave her-thy love is clayr'
They smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair;
On her forehead of stone they laid it fair;
Over her eyes that gazed too much,
They drew the lids with gentle touch;
With tender touch they closed up well
Ine sweet thin lips that had secrets to tell;
Above her brows and beautiful face
They tied her veil and her marriage lace,
And drew on her white feet her white silk
Which were the whitest no eye could choose
And over her bosom they crossed her hands.
"Come awayr they said. "God understands"
And there was silence, and nothing there
But silence, and scents of eglant tere,
And jasmine, and roses. and rosemary.
And they said, GAS a lady should lie, lies she."
And they held their breath till they left the
room,
With shudder, to glance at the stiffness and
gloom.
But he who loved her too well to dread
The sweet the stately, the beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took the key
And turned it-alone again-he and she
He and she; but she would not speak,
Then he kissed, in the old place, the quiet
cheek.
He and she; yet she would not smile,
Though he called her the name she loved ere
while.
He and she; still she did not move
10 any one passionate whisper of love.
Then he said, "Cold lips and breasts without
breath,
Is there no voice, no language of death?
Dumb to the ear and still to the sense,
But to heart and to soul distinct, intense?
See now; will listen with soul, not ear;
What was the secret of dying, dear?
Was 1t the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let life's flower fall
Or was it a greater marvel to feel ...
The perfect calm DER the agony steal?
Was the miracle greater to find how deep
Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep?
Did life roll back its records dear,
Andshow, as they say it does, past things clear?
And was it the innermost heart of the bliss
10 nnd out so, what wisdom love is?
o perfect dead! o dead most DEAR
hold the breath of my soul to hear!
listen as deep as to horrible hell
AS high as to Heaven, and you do not tell.
There must be pleasure in dying sweet,
10 make you SO placid from head to feet!
would tell you, darling, II were dead,
And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow
she'd
would say. though the Angel of Death had
His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid.
You should not ask vainly, with streaming
eyes,
Which of all deaths was the chiefest surprise.
The very strangest and suddenest thing
fall the surprises that dying must bring"
All. foolish world! o, most kind dead!
Though he told me, who will believe it was
said?
Who will believe that he heard her say,
With the sweet, soft voice, in the dear old
way
THE utmost wonder is this-I hear
And see you. and love you, and kiss you, dear;
And am your angel who was your bride,
And know that, though dead, have never
died." -
EDWIN ARNOLD.

The Bloody Shirt to be Re.furled,

A representative of the Washington
Post has had an interview with Mr..
George G. GoTham great light in the
Republican party and one of the most
active and aggressive of the Grant
groomers. Mr.. Gorham says that Gen.
eral Grant, knowing that he will have
hard time to get through with the
northern and western States, is to fold
the bloody shirt and preach amity and
oblivion of the past to the old "Rebel
element" of the South, and by thus ce-
menting bond between 1.-THE negroes
and the "Old Rebels" he is to be elect
ed by the votes of the Southern States.
In other words, having waived the SAN
culinary garment over us for the eight
years during which he was President,
and having, in its name, and as the
foremost apostle of its religion, tram
pied on us, degraded US, put US under
the heel of our former slaves, he is now
to fold it carefully away until another
time shall come for flinging it to the
breeze, andSwe are to hasten thereupon
to mount up on lackey's seat at the
tail of his chariot, and huzza him into
the place of President of the United
States.
General Grant and his grOomers must
think that his case is desperate, indeed,
when he expects the old "Rebel ele-
ment" of the South to PROSTATE itself
on the ground, and with lips in the dust
to cry aloud hOsannas to him. He and
they little understand the temper and
the metal of that class if they look for
this. He may as well know that what
he and they have been fifteen years
denouncing as the turbulent and barba-
rous "Rebel element" of the South, is
the cream of our population, as high
and noble race of men as ever lived
on the earth men who are governed by
principle, and whose watchword is
dutys and they are men who cannot be
purchased by gifts of place, or with all
the money that his ring of whiskey
thieves can raise.
\
General Grant will hardly induce the
old "Rebel element" to pull the chest
nuts out of the fire for him. When the
wolf shall succeed in persuading the
lamb to go into the forest with him:
when the tiger shall cajole the fawNni in
to his lair, then, and not till then, may
General Grant expect to induce our peo-
pie to enlist with him under that fold
ed, but still bloody, shirt, in whose
name he has spit upon them, trampled
upon them, published them to; ;1the
world as traitors, murderers, and bar
barous slave. e.drivers.-Rich. Common.

T1nEE's COMPOUND SYRUP OR
WORM SEED.
A Perfect Vermifuge, Representing the
Old Fashioned Worm Tea,
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF WORMS.

A Perfect vermifuge, Representing the
Old Fashioned Worm Tea,
FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF WORMS.
~ Vegetable in its Composition; Pleasant to
the Taste, and efectual in its purpose.
Childhood is most generally accompanied
with the annoyance Of Worms. but few chill
adults are very frequently affected in the same
way. Worms are not only a cause of dis
ease in themselves, but by their irr tatiOn. ag-
gravate other diseases; owing to their move
ments in the bowels, they most generally occa-
tressing character. The appetite variable,
sometimes natural, again deficient or excessive.
The stomach is often swollen, breath fetid; the
tongue furred and with a disagreeable taste,
NERVOUS AFFECTIONS and general de-
FULNESS, WAKEFULNESS, with sudden
startings out of sleep as from fright; spasmodic
movements OF the eyelids. CONCLUSIONS in
children are often aScrlbed to these parasites
and febrile condition of the system. Obstinate
cough; pale or sallow skin, sunken eyes, and
presence in the body-symptoms with which
almost every mother is familiar. To remove
these annoyances fonnd in almost every fami-
ly, THE WORM SYRUP is PREPARED: It
is a pleasant and certain remedy. 1t is perfet t.
~ safe. and children will not refuse to take 1t.
the ordinary Vermifuge in use.
AFTER taking the syrup as directed. young
children should take dose of Magnesia or Cas-
tor Oil. Many persons think that if discharge
OF The worms does not Immediately follow the
use of the Syrup, that it has failed to destroy
them. This is a mistake-they are dissolved
in the mucus, and thus gotten rid of,

Butter BuyerS

everywhere are refusing to take white
lardy looking butter except at ..grease''
prices. Consumers want nothing but
gilt-edged butter, and buyers therefore
recommend their patrons to keep a uni.
form color throughout the year BY using
the Perfected Butter Color made by
Wells, Richardson & Co., Burlington,
vt. 1t is the only color that can be re-
lied on to never injure the butter, and
TO always give the perfect color Sold

1t is often asserted that the Gospel
has been preached to all nations, and
some thik the world to be on the eve of
its millennia! glory, when the knowl-
edge of the Lord shall cover the earth
as the waters cover the sea; but one
would infer from reading the recent ac-
count of the burying alive of seven hum
dred human beings as a sacrifice in or
der that Burmese King might be re-
stored to health, that there are many
yet to be turned from natures darkness
unto the marvellous light of the Cos.

The people of Virginia will support
and vote for the nominee of the DEM
ecratic party at Cincinnati. They cam
not be bull-dozed by Malone, Massey
d Co. into voting for bevy of unpledg-
ed. mixed mongrels. The people of
this State are neither hirelings nor
menial servants to be ordered into line
by the mere beck of political tyrants,
nor will they be humbugged into voting
for headless ticket by any crew Of
political Jobbers. Sell. .aggrandizement
can never be purchased at price so
enlightened people as this would be.
True greatness merits the respect of the
people. but presumption is oohtemptible
above all things else, and will certainly
damn the party which has the hardi-
0ndoah Valley.

POET R Y

p o Ell R Y
BROKEN LINKS.
Tell me not the chain is broken,
Golden links of kindred ties,
While it ever binds us nearer
To our loved ones in the skies;
For tits like the mystic cable,
Slumbering meath the oceans roar,
Hid from sight, yet ever joining
Closely, strangely, shore to shore.
Only shifting, never broken,
Is the chain forever bright;
Links, though darkened to our vision,
CLEAN with..a celestial light,
While from earth we glance along it,
Raptured seem the-golden line,
Looking from the gates eternal.
Links unsevered softly shine.
Yes. we count them sadly over,
One by one, the link, we say.
How they're breaking ever from us,
How they're passing all away;
Only changing are our loved ones.
Only gone from earth away;
Dwell they not, more dear than ever,
In our hearts from day to day?
Kindred ties, with links eternal,
Wrought and woven at our birth,
We're they only made to bind VS..
While We linger here on earth?
Tell me not the chain is broken,
For l only look the more,
AS my loved ones gather on 1t.
To the everlasting shore.
Tell me not the chain is broken,
Guided by the angelic hand,
For 1t draws me ever nearer
To the bright, the spirit land.
And turn from life and sorrow,
To my loved ones in the skies.
Looking up from earth to heaven,
Ever up with longing eyes.

About three weeks ago, says the Lon
don (England) Daily Telegraph, a young
couple, attended by gay bridal proces-
sion. presented themselves at the p1in-
cipal church OF the Slobodka- -Romanov-
ka, suburb of Odessa, for the purpose of
being permanently united by the bonds
of holy matrimony. When the atfi
anced pair, however, had reached the
altar-rails and were there awaiting the
fulfillment of their dearest hopes, the
papa, detecting certsin unsteadiness
of gait in the bridegroom, which ap.
peared to his reverence incompatible
with the solemnity of the occasion, de
clined to perform his sacerdotal office
upon a person whom he more vigorously
than elegantly alluded to ss @ s'booaing
swine" Indignant at the untimely in
ebriety Of his offspring. the father of
the drunkard seized him by the collar,
dragged him out of the church and be-
labored him s0undly with stout cudgel
in the vain hope of restoring him to
such self possession as might qualify
him to undergo the marriage CEREMONY
with ordinary steadfastness. The brides
father took more practical view of the
situation than his wrathful gossip. Ad
dressing the congregation from the
altar-steps, in a stentorian voice, he de-
clared his daughter freed from her mat
rimonial engagement, and further stated
that any eligible candidate for her hand,
presenting himself then and there, might
wed her on the spot, without inourring
any expense, and count upon fond
parents tender blessing to boot. Two
aspirants came forward. After inspec-
tion by the bride and brief Interrogation
as to their respective worldly means and
position, one was politely dismissed and
the other toQk tae luckless "boozing
swine's" place at the altar, where, few
minutes later, he was made happy
husband. Thus he that came to look on
remained to be married, while the vic
tim OF ill-timed potations staggered
home lifeless, but with skinful Of sore
bones,
