YOUTH AND AGE.

An for the change twixt now and hen
This breathing house not butt with hands,
This body that does me grieyous wrong
o er ery cliffs and glittering sands
How ghtly then IL flashed along
Like those trim skiffs, unknown of yore,
On winding lakes and rivers wide;
That ask no aid OF sail oar,
That fear no state of wind or tide!
Naught cared this body for wind or weather
When Youth and lived int together.
Flowers are lovely. Love is hower-ike,
Friendship is j sheltering tree,
o the JOYS that came down shower-lke,
OF Friendship, Love and Liberty,
Ere l WAS old
Ere was old ali, mOurnful ere.
hich tells me, Youths no longer here
O Youth for years so any and sweet,
It's known that thou and | were one
1 Il thiuk il but fond conceit:
1t cann0t be that thou art gone
Thy vesper- bell hath not vet toll Il;
And thou vert aye masker bold:
What strange disguise hast now put on,
To make believe that thou art gone
see these locks in silyery slips,
This dropping gait, this alter'd size
Bu, sprngtide blossoms on thy lips,
I'D tears Ia Ike sunshine from thine eyes
Lite IL but thought! so think l VIII,

Defendant demurred, assigning As a cause
the improper joinder of repleyin and trover
in the same declaration The demurrer
was sustained a. to the count for the value
Of the three bales Of cotton. Plaintiff
thereupon declined to prosecute in repievin
as to the one bale and judgment was entered
in favor of defendant Plaintiff appealed.

He'd
l. The section in the Code above quoted
was rot intended TO authorize replevin IN
every instance where trover, detnue or case
il proper, for under such a construction
there would be a general resort 70 the action
Of replevin in those cases, thereby securing
a trial, against the right of the defendant,
at the return term. The object Of the
statute is to prevent the abatement of the
writ where the property was IN the posses
sion Of the defendant at the time Of making
the affidavit in replevin, but the officer has
not found it. In such case only, and where
there has been personal service, can the suit
progress a. an ordinary action. IL viii be
defeated if the defendant can show he was
not in possession Of the property when the
suit was instituted. The statute was not
intended to apply to cases where no right to
maintain repleyin originally existed.
,. The statute applies where only por-
ton of the property is found. Ia such
case the plaintiff declares for the OF that
which is -eized, and for the value Of that
portion which il not. Ifnone Of the proper
~ is found, he declares for the value Of all.
In either event the suit remains an action Of
replevin, and is triable at the first term.
The plaintiff ; right to recover will depend
upon his showing that all the property was
wrOngfully Withheld from him by the defend
ant at the time of instituting the suit
Under 1928 Of the Code of 1850, the
verdict and judgment may be shaped to
suit the different phases Of the case.
3. When there Is a failure to recover for
the property not seized, because it Is not
shown to have been in the possession Of the
defendant at the time of the institution of
the action. the verdict or judgment should
show this fact, ss as to avoid a plea of res
yudicata in any subsequent proceeding to re-
cover it.

Origin of the Word "Humbug."

To the Editor of the Philadelphia Press
Your correspondent &C" in Wednes-
days Press, gives an explanation of the
origin of the word "humbug' which APP
pears to me to be very forced one. DIR.
Bombaugh, in his work entitled "Glean-
ings for the curious, gives derivation
of the word which is certainly much
more probable, as follows: among
the many issues of base coin which from
time to time were made in Ireland,
there was none to compare 10 that made
hy James IL. at the Dublin mint. 1t was
composed of anything on which he could
lay his hands, such as lead, pewter, COP
per and brass, and so low was It's intrin-
sic value that twenty shillings OF 1t was
only worth two-pence sterling William
Ill, few days after the battle OF the
Boyne, ordered that the crown pice and
half crown should be taken as one pen
nv and one-half penny respectively.
The soft mixed metal of which that
worthless coin was composed was known
among the Irish as Uim-bog, pronounced
Oombug, L. e., soft copper, /. e., worth
less money, and in course Of their deal
fngs the modern use Of the word htsnbug
look It's rise, a. IN the phrase, Ina .
piece of ,eiHsbog," Don't think to pasA of
y0ur uin5og on me-" Hence the word
hunlbug came to be applied to anything
that had specious appearance, but
which was in reality spurious. 1t is Gu
rious TO note that the very opposite Of
hunabaeg-i. E., false metals the word
sterling, whick Is also taken from term
applied 10 the true coinage of Great
Britain, as sterling coin, sterling worth,
etc. / send this inasmuch as it may be
of interest to the readers of the Press.

Mr. w. G. Renfrow, of Russellville, Ark,
the proprietor of the Indian stone baby, has
been stopping for the past week in this city,
having brought his baby with him, with
which TO puszle the scientists of Washing

lahoring men near the Eureka Springs, in
October, 1880. It was four feet below the
surface of. the ground, and when discovered
was enyeloped in composition of blue clay,
calcarous mari and free lime, portion of
WHICH has not ret been removed from the
image. It is twenty-six inches in length
and weighs eighty-five pounds. The body
is of very hard blue limestone, and i so
nicely cut a. not to show marks of the

Smithsonian have examined it and are
puzzled, never having seen anything ike it

1t is asserted that a lady in Calhoun
county, H., although 20 years old, has re-
Gently married her sixth husband. Her
last deceased husband was named Race, and
the man she has just married is named
Farris A romantic feature of her last mat
rimonial venture is the fact that Mr.. Farris
was her first love; but cruel fate interviewed
and prevented their union. A II of her dead
husbands are buried in the family grave
yard upon the farm on which shs resides,
and her present husband, as he counts the
green mounds, viii have ample opportunity
to reflect on the uncertainty of married life.
OF another woman, living in Georgia, it Is
related that she had five husbands. She
married four widowers in succession. The
first widower lived one a half miles from the
lady, when she was q widow the second
third. and fourth lived about the same dis
lance from one another, 50 that she has had,
in turn, charge of each OF the residences,
and she il now living happily with her fifth
husband within seven miles OF her original
home.

Vaccination On the Arna.
London Truth

LonuoH truth
In America children are frequently
vaccinated above the ankle, and the
same is almost always the case in the
south of Ireland. Some years ago a
friend of mine was appointed surgeon
to a ship that was conveying emigrants
to Australia Before starting he called
upon all the women to show their arms,
in order that he might see whether they
had been vaecinated. "Sure, then,
they said 'sit's on the fut," and
they proceeded to bare that portion Of
their lower limbs which they delicately
called .sthe fut," and which /, with
equal delicacy, call ''above the ankle.
Many a pretty arm is disfgured by vac
cination marks, and il is really too bad
Of English mothers to continue this
practice.
