In 6 long-yauiShed age, whose varied story
No record has to-day
So long ngo expired is grief and glory
There fourished, far away,
In broad realm. whose beauty passed all measure
A city fair and wide,
Wherein the dwellen lived in peace and pleasure
And never any died.
Disease and pain and death, those stern manuders
Which mar our worlds fare face,
Never encroached upon the pleasant AbodeIs
OF that bright dwelling'plAee.
No fer Of parting and no dread Of dying
Could ever enterthefe:.
No mourning for The lost, no Anguished crying
Made any face less fair.
Without the city's walls death reIgned as ever.
And graves rose aide br side;
Within. the dwelleB laughed ct his endeayor.
And never any died.
o happiest Of all earths favored places!
o bliss - dwell therein-
To live in the sweet light Of loving faces,
And fear no death between
To feel nc dea,h-dAmps, gathering cold and colder
DlsputIng HES warm truth
To live on, never loneller or older.
Radiant In deAthles youth
And husrying from the worlds remotest quarters
A tide Of pilgrims flowed.
Across broad plains and over mighty waters,
To find that blest abode.
Where never death should come between, and
Them from their loved apart
Where they might work. and win, and live forever,
SILL holding heart to heart.
And 50 they lived. in happiness and pleasure,
And grew 10 power and pride,
And did great deeds, and laid up stores OF treasure,
And never Any died.
And many year. rolled on and saw them striving,
With undated breath;
And other years still found and left them living,
And gaye no hope Of death.
Yet listen. haplcss soul whom angels pity.
Craving boon like this
Mark how the dwelleIs In this wondrouI city
Grew weary oltheir bliss,
One and another who had been concealing
The pain OF LIES long thnll,
Fonook their pleasant places and came stealing
Outside the city wall.
Craving with wish that brookcd no more denying,
So long had 1t been crossed
The blessed possibility Of dying
The treasure they had lost.
Daily the current Of rest seeking mortals
Sweled 10 broader tide,
Till none were left within the clty's portals,
And graves grew green outside.
Would II be worth the having or the giving
The boon o, endless breath?
Oh, for the weAnne6S that comes Of living,
There Is no cure but death
Ours were, indeed, tate deserving pity,
Were that sweet rest denied;
And few, methinEs, would care TO find the city
Where never any died.

Miss Jennie Wilson, OF Clarksburg, W.

composition, which bore testimony to q

powers, and as much appreciation as could

language was choice and style polished,
while her reading Of the same did justice
to her essay.
The soriee terminated with piano duo
overture to Ahu Hassan by Won Weber.
This was rendered by Misses Lila knight
and Mora Weber. Time and tempo were
both accurate, lingering good, and tones
distinct, but the same lack OF attention was
perceptible as in Miss Knights solo men.

petent Judges is not easily overlooked. We
have no desire to discourage any Of the
students laboring to attain superiority in
this divine art OF music, but rather to
stimulate renewed exertion, particularly
in not resting satisfied with the purely
mechanical, but ever aiming at the express

One word more TO all the young ladies

The Judge Himself Was Posted.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
AS illustrating some of the remarkable
laws Of Indiana on the subject Of divorce
Hon. Thaddeus p. Rollins related I: story
Of divorce which he procured in Cass
county some years since before Judge
Chase. The allegations in the complaint
were drunkenness and general worthless
ness of the defendant. When the case
came on q witness was called to prove
the character and habits Of the defendant.
Mr.. Rollins asked him the question "Do
you know Mr.. -. the defendant in tho
case, Mr.. Baird ?'' The answer was in
the affirmative. At this point Judge Chase
looked up and said Mr.. Baird, tell me
if that man is the same Mr.. - who was
in company K, of the - Indiana regi.
iment during the war;" "The same man
Judge" was the answer. :" You need 20
no further, Mr.. Rollins" said the judge,
"the divorce is granted" and judg-
ment was entered accordingly for the
plaintiff. After court adjourned the judge
was joked about the hasty entry of the
Judgment, referring to the fact that o
evidence had been introduced into tie
case. "Wby, gentlemen" said his honor
"I know that fellow. He was in my CON-
pany during the war. and will never let
o woman live with him if she asks me for
divorce. know him better than amy
witness that can be brought here"
