How an Artist Treated His visitor.

10 The Editor Of the Salem Mdss.) Register;
would have accepted your kind invita-
tion to visit you in your new quarters with
pleasure before this had not my old enemy,
Mr. Rheumatism, pounced on me so sud
dedly. He arrived last Friday, and, with
out stopping to send up his card, rushed in
and grasped me by the hand with such a
grip that in few hours my hand and wrist
were so badly swollen and painful that
felt as though one of Mr.. Hatch's coal
teams had run over me. Mr.. Rheumatism
has been constant visitor of mine for
several years; always swells and puts on a
great many airs and makes himself at home,
devouriDg my substance and leaving me
poor in flesh and pocket. Last winter he
came and stai1 two months. then made
up my mind that the next time he came
would change his diet, as he has always
gobbled down everything set before him.
j was somewhat at loss what to feed him
with, but finally concluded to give him
three square meals day of st. Jacobs
Oil-morning, noon and night. This fare
he is disguised with, and is packing up his
trunk and will leave by tomorrow or next
day says he cannot stop any longer, as he
has pressing business elsewhere. He is a
treaehercus fellow, and have no doubt he
intends visiting some of our Salem friends
II he does just give him the same fare that
did, and he won't stop long.

"Oha, very respectable person, beware OF

LOVE NEVER DIES.

BY 8. W. PEARCE.
Tell me not that love will die,
Though the years pass ieet1ng;
Lasting as the earth or sky
Is the true hearts beating.
Storms and shadows may beset.
Or by cares surrounded;
Parted wide by space. ard yet
Full OF faith unbounded.
Love is tr;1e e'en though By fate
Severed be the loving,
Patiently the heart will wait
Till the cloud removing,
Time again shall. face to face,
Bring true hearts united,
And once more fond arms embrace
Souls in true love plighted.
Love ne'er dies-'tis as the sun,
That for boundless ages,
Ceaselessly its course has run
Through earth's changing stages.
Firm, Interchangeable and true,
Lives Love on forever:
And when time itself be through,
Love shall waver never.

How terribly lonesome feel! How queer
