A AND II.

4 and B were handsome men +
As you will find two out Of ten;
They started up the hill Of life
Zach had Of course, the prettiest wiley
With strong resolves to dare and do,
And still the heavenward path pursue.
And they were tender friends the while;
They met and parted with a smile;
Their little homes-a happy sight
We're filed with gIadness, love, and light.
But he and every ono could sec
That A began to gain on
In worldly goods. 1Ie wore the air
OF ono who'd reached the topmost stair.
A gilded coach and milk-white four
A proader couple never bore
Than he and happy Mrs. A.
Both worshiped wealth and loved display,
But both forgot their books and songs,
And neither cared for others wrongs
When they had rights. All they could see
Was oddities GROWING victory.
Their children stood as dummies stand
Noncntities upon the land.
Their palace, with its marble front,
Looked uninviting, cold, and blunt.
A distance that could never "lend
Enchantment" to his old-time friend
Now separated A and B.
The one slave, the other free.
The one, with all his hands could hold,
Still wanted more. The tale is told.
Forever hungry, pinched and cold
Il he whose only store is go.d.
The other sat beneath the skies
That overshadowed paradise.

A BASHFUL YOUNG MAN.

Not many miles from San Juan, Co..,
not more than 15--resides a young farm
er who is not over o. years of age. He
has considerable of the requisite-the
coin. Up to within very short time he
had lead very lonely life, but, thanks
to the year 1880, which has proved his
salvation, young lady has proposed to
him and he is now enjoying her society
as his wife. The young man had every
qualification for a good business man,
but notwithstanding all this, was extreme
ly bashful, and blushed clear to his ears
every time he caught sight of young
lady. Moreover, he imagined he was q
fright to behold, aod no girl would con-
descend to look with favor upon him. In
fact, it was his opinion that he was des.
tined to lead life of single blessedness
all the days he might wander about on
this terrestrial sphere. One day, how
ever, he stopped at house where re-
sided a lovely girl. She had seen
how shy he was. on every Coca
sion, and became infatuated with the
peddIer of apples and garden truck, and
was determined that the ice should be
broken, as leap year had arrived, which
gave every privilege, in this particular
granted to the sterner sex. The Young
lady, therefore, walked up to him as he
stood by the well, and calling him by his
given name, asked him why he didn't
get married. He replied with character
ist1c non-esteem, that he didn't think
there was any one who would have him.
"Why." returned the yeung lady with
great fervency, -"why, will have you.'
The young man turned red and stammer-
ed by turns, but finally he did manage
to tell her "all right" Arrangements
were made at once for the marriage cere-
mony, and in less than q week they were
living together as man and wife, happy
as birds in nest. 81, >Sas -

she managed to detain the man about an

With commendable good nature, the
disappointed fellow re-packed his goods
and went his way. A month or so passed,
and once more he knocks at the same
farmers door, this time not to sell but to
buy. "Can you get me up first class
dinnerT" he asked. Something good:
I've got money and I want to see your

at lively rate, the vision of a good

movements, and presently she returned
to the room where the peddler was wait
ing, and announced that dinner was
ready. ewalked out to the diningroon,
puts on pair of goggles, and critically
inspects the viands. After probing the
steak, and turning the eggs, and shifting
the coffee. he turned to the astonished
female and remarked: II don't want

the house below, and thought I'd find
out whether they cheated me-" And
grabbing up his bundle he managed to
dodge out of the door before the irate
woman could reach him.

Origin OF Lynch Law.

In Campbell county, Va, on the
Roanoke river (then called Staunton
river), during the old Revolutionary war,
when there were some Tories of obnox-
ious character still remaining in the
county not readable by any statutory
law, Col. Charles Lynch, supported by
Capt. Robert Adams, his brother-in-law,
both farming on adjoining plantations,
and-Calloway, determining to rid the
country of such dangerous enemies,
seized, on different occasions, three of
the worst of them, tied them to tree
and logged them so severely as to
prompt an unceremonious departure
from the State, as they were ordered.
This sort of procedure on the part Of
Lynch and his friends proving so effect
i've in Campbell was quickly followed in
other counties, where loyalty to King
George sometimes provoked summary
punishment, and it was called 'Lynch
law" and has been to our day.
The snatch of an old song of the time
is still repeated in the neighborhood:
Never let Tory rest till he cries out liberty.
John Lynch, the brother of Charles
Lynch, was the founder of Lynchburg:
only few of their descendants are now
living-none in Notwithstanding the
family name, so far as is known-the
last Of the males, Charles Henry Lynch,
and his brother, John Pleasant, having
died in Campbell county since the War
Of Secession. Their sister, Mrs. Dear
ing, and her daughter, Mrs. Faunt LIE
Roy, now occupy the old homestead,
where still remains the stump of the
walnut tree to which the three Tories
were tied and whipped. Life was never
taken.
Webster, in his unabridged dictionary,
says of "Lynch law" that it was the
practice Of Furnishing men for crimes
or otfenses by private, unauthorized
persons, without legal trial. The term
is said to be derived from Virginia
farmer named Lynch, who thus took the
law into his own hands,"

The beautiful golden hair. owes !,

The beautiful golden hair. owes Its
brightness to an excess of sulphur and
oxygen, while black hair owes it's ietty
aspect to an excess of carbon and de-
ficiency of sulphur and oxygen. Van.
quelin traces an oxide of iron in the lat
Ter, and also in red hair. The colering
matter, however, forms but one portion
of the difference between the soft, luxu-
rant tangles Of the Saxon girl and the
coarse; black locks of the North Ameri-
can squaw. The size and quality ofeach
hair, and the manner in which it Is
planted tell powerfully in determining
the line between the two races. An EN-.
lnent German has undergone the enass
nous labor of counting the number OF
hairs in heads of four different colors.
In blonde he found lac, 400 hairs in a
brown. 109, 40 in a black, ,1O2, 96l, and
ina red one, 81, 40: What the red and
black hairs wanted in number of hairs
was made up, however, in the greater
bulk of the hairs individually, and in all
probability, the scalps were pretty equal
insweight. It is to the fineness and null
tiplicity Of hairs that blonde tresses owe
the rich and silk-like character Of their
