The following lines go to prove that
the poetic fire has not ceased to burn
in the bosoms of the Stephens City
boys, especially when kindled by a
glance at the charming countenance of
Middletown belle. A certain one
who was very much impressed by the
beauty of fair damsel of that place,
invoked the aid of the muses., and
poured forth his vows by giving vent
to the following lines while beholding
her beautiful face:
You may talk of your beautiful moonlight
rides;
Of your beautiful cot by the sea;
You may sing OF the beautiful ebbing tides,
But that beautiful face won me.
Oh that face. with lineaments so complete,
Does my soul with rapture thrill,
And that beautiful smile, causing dimples
SO sweet,
Is chasing and haunting me still.
There's charm in each feature ne'er can
forget,
Should try such course to pursue;
Those beautiful eyes, as black as jet,
Have pierced me through and through.
Its look from my memory time cannot efface,
So firmly tits stamped on my soul,
The impression there left care not to erase,
Since to me It's beautiful goal
Could / ever be allowed on that vision to
gaze,
So complete would my happiness be,
In that blissful state I'd pass my days
'Twould be heaven enough tor me.
And had meier behcld that face,
And watched that form so fair,
There could not now be found trace
OF sadness or despair.
That boys got it bad. We hope
he'll keep the traces" as he may need
EN- when he gets "hitched."

His married relations proved to be by
no means happy, however, as after a
considerable amount Of dissension and
strife, he determined to resort to the
law to end his troubles. He had,
previous to this, been paying consid-
cradle attention to another young lady
in the place, and his wife, thinking
he intended to marry in the event
OF a divorce, took steps to stop the
proceedings. She went out of town
however, for several days, and wher
she returned gave the case into a law.

A Russian Jesse James.

Southern Russia now rejoices in the
capture and incarceration of one
Mamai, who is a Russian edition Of
the late Mr.. James, Of Missouri. For
a score Of years he has been a terror OF

he was arrested and locked up in
prison at Nicolaeff. Although famous
as a prison breaker, the authorities

Mamais was the length Of it, but il
was an uncommon feature in his case
that he should have been discovered at
last through the treachery Of a fellow
prisoner, since honor prevails among
thieves in Russia, as elsewhere, and the
traitor himself would have achance to
escape with the rest as soon as the
passage was finished. Rebuffed in
this attempt, Mamai waited awhile,
and then one afternoon, when a police.
man came to his cell he threw him
down, gagged him and donned his
uniform. The following day, having

dress, he went into the market, ald.
