Que night this week n youth de-
oided that he would furnish his lady
love with some music from his favorite
accordion. He stopped abOu, thirty
feet from the house and struck ont on
one of his popular ~ airs. The lady's
brother being at home and knowing
nothing of the occurrence that was to
take place, decided that flock of wild
geese was flying over the house, and
imagining that it was tremendous
large drove he concluded to fire both
barrels of his shot gun mp into the air
and trust to luck for game. This gave
the youth such terrible fright that he
ran off---left his accordion and hat
where lie was stationed. 1t is said that
he lay out in tho mesquite valley all
night, and next morning hired u ne
gro to go and get his instrument.
Poor fellow he should have better
understanding next time, and let the
family -hic-he was coming.

A Tragedy in High Life at Naples.

Neapolitan society has lately been much
exercised by terrible tragedy in high life.
For some time past the Countess del Cigno,
lady of extraordinary beauty, he'd been
VIGOROUSLY at odds with her husband, q
gentleman to whom she had, at the urgent
instance of her family, most unwillingly
given her hand, her heart having already
been bestowed upon young Austrian
artist, who quilted Europe for America on
the day of her, marriage, only returning
thence to Naples, a few weeks ago. He be-
came frequent guest at the Countess
evening RECEPTIONS fact which reached
the ears of Count del Cigno at his club,
where he spent the most of his time by
night as well as by day. One evening, just
as the painter was issuing from the door
way Of the Palazzo del Cigno, the
Count drove up to the chief en-
trance, and, while alighting from
his carriage, noticed his. wife on the first
floor balcony waving her hand in farewell
to her old lover as he descended the stone
steps leading to the street. Without mo-
ment's hesitation the count drew stilleto
from his breast pocket Of his coat and bur-
led tito the hilt in the bosom of his rival,
who fell, MORALLY wounded, to the ground.
As Del Cigno was getting into his carriage,
however,a bullet from the Austrian's revol-
yer, fired, as it were, in extremis, passed
through his head, killing him on the spot.
Five minutes later the artist also breathed
his last. This horrible encounter took place
under the very eyes of the Countess, upon
whom the spectacle Of her husband and
lovers violent death inflicted SO over
whelming shock that she became ravine
maniac, and is now under restraint in lu.
matte asylum at Naples. psat

of love given to and received from her,

yERNAL FAITH.

When heaven was stormy, earth was cold,
And sunlight stunned the world and wave,
Thought burrowed in the church, yard mould,
And fed on dreams that haunt the grave =
But now that heaven is freed from strife,
And earth's full heart with rapture swells,
Thought scars through fields of endles life
Above the shining asphodels
What flower that drinks the south winds breath
What sparkling leaf, what Hebe morn,
But fiouts the sullen gray beard Death, .,
And laughs our arctic clouds to scOrn?
Pale student, scant of healthful blood,
Your CHASTITY tones one moment close;
Pluck freshness from the spring-time bud,
Find wisdom in the opening rose.
Mark the white lilly, whose sweet core
Hath many wild bee swarm enticed,
And drew therefrom honeyed lore "
Pure as the tender creed Of Christ!
Yea, even the weed, which upward holds
Its tiny ear past bower and lawn,
A lovlier faith than yours unfolds,
Caught from the far faint winds of dawn.

MEMORIES OF YORKTOWN.
An English Paper Recalls Washington an
His Victories. ..t


His Victories. ...
From the London Telegraph.
There is, however, in the memories of
Yorktown even now much to draw living
Englishmen and Americans nearer together,
and unquestionably the bearing of Gen,
Washington at the supreme moment toward
his vanquished and Inundated enemy was
of that character which it is meet and right
that historians should mot willingly let
die" When, on the 18th of October, 1881,
Lord CORVALLIS had lost his two advanced
redoubts by storm, he made an attempt to
escape with his rank and file who were still
fit for duty-rather more than 1000 in
number-atfoss the river to Gloucester.
The attempt was frustrated as might have
been expected when it is remembered that
the opposing forces, French and Ameri-
can, vastly outnumbered the British, and
that French feet of more than 80 sail,
under Comte de Grasse, lay in the adjoin-
ing river and roads. On the morning Of
the 18th of October Lord CORVALLIS
accepted the inevitable, and the
terms Of capitulation we're settled be-
tween him, as representing the British side,
and Gen. Washington and the Comte de
Rochambeau, as severally representing the
triumphant forces Of America and France.
But it is not generally known that at the
moment when Lord CORVALLIS surrendered
to Gen. Washington the humbled English
man simultaneously uncovered his head.
With characteristic ,thoughtfulness Gen.
Washington prayed him to put on his hat,
as--the weather being chilly and wet--there
was danger Of his catching cold. 1T does
not much matter what now becomes of me,
exclaimed the detected Englishmen; to
which in firm voice, Gen. Washington al
once replied: "On the contrary, my lord,
anticipate for you long career of distinc-
ton and honor in the, service of your King
and country" How truly these generous
and prophetic words we're borne ont may b
seen by those who care to read the epitapt
