THE LOST EDEN.

Emily Pfeiffsr IN the Academy, Dee. 3
''Ah for little MON ut might l stand
In that enchanted world with that lost band,
Fulfilled with love that was at peace with pride,
Soul-satisfied,
And find the darkness melt, the night grow
clear.
If only might hear
One voice and feel the touch of one soft hand,
But since that may not BE-, and must grupe
Among the ruins and the overthrow
OF all that was 40 fair and seemed so fast
In that removed unlOrgotten past
Still, Love, who hO!dest hands with faith and
hope,
hold by thee and win not let thee 90:
For see, am, and shall be to the last,
child of Charity,
Clasping her skirts and clingiug To her knee.
Trusting that she, with her Tree hand VIII reach
One day and put in mine
A fruit divine
That shall inform my soul beyond all speech,
And waiting to be fed and taught by thee,s
/, Love, in happy dream have seemed to see
That not the twilight world, the paradise
That stands revealed to little children's eyes
SO surely Is enchanted as the maze
Wherein we lose ourselves in latter days,
And that when thou hast found and led us
through.
o Love, the vision that will meet our view
Will break with something dearer than surprise
On Those who recognize
In that lost world the symbol of the true
The old m something dearer than the new.

FALSE REPoRT.-A report was current
on the streets yesterday that a case of
smallpox had been discovered in the vi

il was unfounded. Some days ago II re-
port was made to the city authorities, by
the superintendent of the public schools,
in which that gentleman stated that he
had reason to believe that the disease did
exist in the locality mentioned. The city
physician ut once investigated the matter,
and ascertained that no such disease pre-
vailed III that vicinity, and this circum-
stance, probably, gave rise TO the rulnor
first mentioned above.

GIBSON GONE. - The readers Of the
STATESMAN will remember the case OfGib-
son. tried aud convicted recently in our
county court on the charge of adultery
He deserted his wife and children IN
Illinois and elOpcd with girl IN her
teens. Coming To Austin he set up in
business and announced that he and Mrs.
Gibson-that is. his wife, or, to be more
particular. the young girl whom he had
induced to become Il partner IN his flight
would ut once become citizens I'm fact
of the capital city. Things went smoothly
enough until the mother of the runaway
girl appeared on the scene and had Glib
son arrested on the charge as stated
above. Being convicted, he was hned
$1,000, but moved for Il new trial. Judge
Fulmore granted the new trial, where
upon the prisoner entered aplea OF guilty,
and was fined $500. The strangest part
of this romance consists in the action of
the women most interested-the deserted
wife and the girl who caused the deser-
ton. The latter, when the trial came
on, turned against the man and did all
she could to convict him; the poor de-
serted woman in Illinois sent money to
pay his fine, accompanied by loving let
ter begging him to return. lie went
let the curtain drop.
