For had We not each other then.

Still pours its tides adown the glen.
Ii should have died, as thou hast died.
Poor heart Of mine, to every sweet
That in those days kind Heaven poured.
In wealth of glory at nv feet.
How desolate and lOrn and lone
Oh, Tired heart, all the present seems.

Poor heart SD tired. 80 tired.

ART NOTES.

-Monka>ey having been unable to 6n-
ish his large picture, Christ Before
Plate" in time for the Salon, is exhibit
ing it by itself in Paris.
A few Of Sedalia's ladies are becom-
ing interested in Tapestry painting, which
although a comparatively new invention
in America, is being eagerly sought after
by people who prize art in novel applica-
lions. 4 school has lately been opened in
New York for its instruction, and ladies
of the highest rank in society comprise its
pupils. Ii may be used in rs many varie-
tics Of WAYS as the individual taste NAV
dictate, but is particularly adaptable to
fire SCREENS, wall decorations, mantle lam.
brequins, etc.
Among the clever works of our home
artists it is of interest to mention those OF
Miss Nellie Thompson, who, although she
has only been under tuition for very short
time, already displays considerable genius.
Her teacher, Mrs. Stearns, OF the Jackson
Vile acadamy, Illinois, was a careful one,
and the progress Of Miss Nellie has been
very rapid. Among her most notable ef-
forts are IAN Old English Church in Win
ter" view on Lake George, and pictur-
esque Ruined Mill in the Heart of the
Black Forest, Russia" She has finished
five landscapes since Christmas. besides
several snow scenes. Perhaps her most ar
tistic work was that done upon a cream
satin bodice, which was one Of the adjuncts
OF her graduation toilet. 1t is painted in
pale pink roses with their attendant beauty
Of buds and leaves, and is really lovely
creation. The flowers are delicately
shaded and finished, and the arrangement
is in perfect taste. Miss Nellie expects to
paint satin skirt as an accompaniment to
her bodice e'er long.

OVER THE LAKE-THREE MEN KILLED.
- Three men, James Baker, John
Burns, and Edward Monty, were
killed at the Sanborn kilns, Rand Hill,
owned by Nichols & Hull, Thursday morn
ing. They were filing a new stone kiln, for
the first time, and were more than half way
up when suddenly at about half past nine IN
the morning, the kiln fell in, burying them
beneath the stone. A large force OF men re-
moved them in few minutes. Baker was
dead when removed. Burns breathed for
about ten minutes, Monty lived till about l
O'Clock, but in an unconscious state. The
cause of the accident is unknown. All the
men were married.
4 decidedly peculiar record is that of
Rev" Sherman NJ. Merrill, who was en-
PEELED from the ministry by the Troy Metho-
dist Conference in 1868, while presiding over
n charge in Paltsburgh, and who sought at
the late meeting of the Troy Conference
restoration Of his license. Before taking
charge of the Phttsburgh church he was sus-
pended upon a charge of clandestinely meet
ing a young lady at h, tel in Albany. A

The Murderer Carr

Was hung at Windsor Friday. Carr is
the sixteenth person executed in Yer
mont. The crime for which he WAS
hung is his second murder, his first having
been committed in 1863, upon Young wo-
man. Mrs. Mary E. LOOMS, and for which
crime he was committed /. tie j.I:e Prison
for ten years. Mrs. LOOMS was married
when but IL years of age, and the murder
was one year succeeding her marriage The
details of his murder are too revolving for
publication, and almost too horrible for be-
lief. Carr was regular visitor at the house
of Mrs. Loomis and was known to have
made indecent proposals to her, which she
Indignantly refused. Carr at this time en-
uced her into the woods upon pretence of
going for berries, where she was found about
three miles from the village, in a completely
nude state, having been tied 10 tree and
ravshed, and there left 10 die. 1t was thought
at the time that her husband was connected
with the deed in some manner, but no posi-
tive proof could be found against him, and he
was released upon condition that he should
enlist and 20 into the army, which he did,
and, as he was never heard from afterward,
it is supposed that he was killed. Carr left,
hut was overtaken, arrested and at the trial
he was Convicted Of manslaughter and SEN
fenced TO ten years imprisonment, and
while in prison made a partial confession,
which was sufficient to leave no room for
doubt but that he was the real culprit He
served ont his ten years and was discharged
in 1878 The second murder that Carr conf
mtted has already been described at length
in these columns.
