A guileless youth.
An artless..maid,
Beneath the moon;
In sober truth,
Too long he stayed
And came too soon.
An old man mad,
A fierce BULLDOG,
Viewed them below;
Faith, twas too bad
To "sick" that dog
On such a beau!
A sudden spring,
A gruesome shriek;,,
The young man fl I'd,
Like snow In spring,
Or morn'S first streak
While you're abed.
Above her head
The roses bloom
From day to day:
Where he has fled
Or what his doom
No man can say.

WHAT NEXT!-The tram ,os are turning mis-

gentleman just about breakfast time. The
visitor wore rusty, musty and dusty suit OF
black cloth, and broad briInmed white hat,
and a very sanctimonious counteuance, look
ing very much like second-haDded parson of
the rural type, who had either been resurrect-
ed or raced. He immediately began to take
an inventory of the stock of religion on the
premises. The proprietor, who does not take
much stock in religious affairs as run at pres
emit, demanded his authority for his action.
With swell and swagger that would have
been fortune to Bible Society agent, he
replied: II am a Christian man, and have my
mission to fulfill" Being told he locked very
much like a tramp, he replied: II am COM

Shot HiA RIVAL.

Last Sunday evening, at the residence OF
Hon. w. II. II. Muir, four miles south o!
Lawrencevlle, ILL.,, Albert Nichols shot and
killed John Tenehan, laborer on Mulr's
farm. .... M
Both parties had been rivals for the hand OF
Miss Ella Weathers, a domestic employed by
Muir, and last night they met at the house to
settle the matter A fight cnsued in which
Tenehan came out second best. He started to
escape. when Nichols drew revolver and shot
him In the back, killing him instantly. The
fled to Bridgeport, and gave HIM
self up. The Times correspondent inter
viewed HIM In the Lawrencevlle Jail to-day
and he stated that his was a case Of justifabe
killing. The citizens of that village, howev-
er, think 1t was one of the most brutal muir
ders ever committed in that vicinity.

a Queer Case.

At Abbevllle, S. c., six years ago, jeff Da-
vids a negro, was convicted for the murder of
his master, white farmer, and his maiden
sister, but on such evidence, purely circum-
stantial, as to justify doubts of his guilt. No
less than five times since then has the day Of
his execution been fixed; but each time re.
prleve from the governor arrived In time to
postpone It, On one occasion the moose was
adjusted about his neck, and the sheriff stood
ready to pull the trap and give the fatal fall.
Five minutes later this would have been &C
complshed, but messenger covered with dust
galloped up to the spot hallooing to the offic-
ers TO hold on, as he drove the rowels into his
steed. The respite he bore from the governor
was received just IN the nick Of time. Last
week he had q new trial and was acquitted.
Davids, who was seventy years old, always per.

nothing 10 do with the murder. He had re-
