BENEATH THE WILLOWS.

Beneath the willows stood my love,
And IL was June;
And white beneath, and green above,
The little merry leaves did move
In rustling tune.
How fair she seemed, the while she dreamed
And did not stir
Around us hummed the drowsy bees;
Above us waved the willow trees;
Oh, best we were!
Tho willow trees are happy trees"
My loved one said.
And we will plant them round our home,"
asked "when the glad days are conner"
She bowed her head.
Again beneath the willows stood
My love and j;
And cold November swept the wood,
And shadowed with dreamy mood
Were earth and sky.
A tiny grave lay at our feet
Alas, how small!
And on It's frozen bosom beat
The drifting willow leaves and sleet-
So sad pail!
ooh, mournful trees are willow treesv'
My loved one said;
And lower DER the little grave
The dropping branches seemed to wave,
And shroud the dead.

A Fair and Conclusive Test.

DR.. Andrew Clark, physician in the
London Hospital, man of the highest
medical authority, talks thus about the
relations of alcohol to work: 81 have
some experience to speak from, for
am a workingman myself. | take it /
work as hard as most, for | have
eighteen hours day at my work,
working in a hurry, with very anxious
subjects to work upon, and work that
goes over Sunday as well. L have
also the experience of the ten thousand
people that pass before me every year.
| will risk all on the statement thst,
however pleasant alcohol is for the no-
ment, it is not helper of work, but it
is certain hindrance of work.
THE late DIR. Parkes, of Netley,
was the most loyal, careful, faithful
and truthful of observers whom it was
ever my good fortune to meet. He was
an earnest lover of truth, and he per-
formed the following experiment: He
got number of soldiers of the same
age and of the same type of constitu-
ton, living under the same circum-
stances, eating the same food, breath
ing the same atmosphere, and he did
this that the experiment might be fair,
and he divided the soldiers into two
gangs-an alcoholic gang, and nom
ulcoholic gang-and he engaged these
'wo gangs in certain work for which
they were to be paid extra. He
watched these gangs, and took the re-
suit of their work, and it turned Out
that the alcoholic gang were far ahead
at first. They had buckets of beer
by their side, and as they got
little tired they took beer, and the
non-alcoholic gang were, in an hour or
two, left nowhere; but he waited and
watched as told you, and, as tne ex-
pertinent went on, the energies of the
beer-drinkers speedily began 20 flag,
and, do what they would, before the
end of day the non-alcoholic gang had
left them far behind. When this had
gone on for some days, tho alcoholic
gang begged that they mighI get into
the non-alcoholic gang, that :hey might
earn little more money; but DIR.
| Parkes, in order TO make the experiment.
clinching and conclusive, transposed
the gangs. He made tie alcoholic
gang the non-alcoholic gang, and vice
versa, the men being verI willing to
lend themselves to the experiment, and
the results were exactlr the same.
The alcoholic gang beat the non alco-
holic gang at the starting, and failed
utterly toward the end of The day. This
| is the most conclusive, and, think, by
far the most crucial experiment that 1
know of upon the question of the rela-
ton of alcohol to work. With this l
will set aside the question by saying.
from personal experience, and from ex-
periments most carefully conducted
over large bodies of men, it is capable
of proof beyond all possibility of ques-
ton that alcohol, in ordinary circum-
stances, not only does not help work.
but is serious hinderer of work.

JUDGE LYNCH'S STORY.
One Of the Masked Men Tells About
the Hanging Of Hardy.
The Scene mt the Bridge and the
Cause of the Shooting.

The Harlan Tribune has received a
communicationfrom oneof the ~''lynchers"
who, by an anonymous letter dropped into
the Avoca p~ostoffice last Saturday, at
tempts to vindicate the action of the
crowd who hung Hardy, the Polk City
murderer. The writer enters into its
numerous details, correcting some slight
errors in the various accounts given, and
then proceeds to give an account of the
scene at the bridge, as follows:
Hardy spoke a few words at the mo
ment of leaving the Jail. A handker-
chief had been bound over his mouth but
not so tightly as to prevent his speaking.
While on the way to the bridge there
we're no ''cries for mercy" nor was he
dragged along; feeling the rope about his
neck and realizing the calibre Of the men
by his side, he kept pace with them, say
ing nothing until the bridge had been
reached, when he said he hoped that his
fate would be a warning to all young
men. Then the rope was drawn taut
about his neck, and one man upon either
side of him, he was hoisted off
to his death. The rope used was a
three- eighths halter rope, not long
enough to admit a hangman's knot being
tied so it had been tied in a common
slip-knot, which his weight, falling as he
did, 1t came united and he dropped into
the water below, upon the north side of
the bridge. Then for q time all was ex-
element, fears of his escape being enter
tanned. A few random shots were fired
into the stream, when the body was seen
close to the pier, upon the east side of
the stream, south Of the bridge, then the
~fusilate commenced. A greater portion
of the time the body was not visible, but
it finally drifted out into the stream and
disappeared from view entirely, but not
until the party were sure that he was
dead.
When Hardy reached the bridge, five
men were with him, of the rest, the
larger portion were guarding the rear,
a few having fastened forward to the
horses. Hardy's hands were not
bound until a cry was raised that eve
were pursued" when the men in
charge of him stopped and bound him
with a piece of small tarred rope. This
alarm was caused by the solitary horse.

A good rope had been provided to hanc
the hapless.. villain with, but twas los
upon the way to Harlan. Had this
circumstance not occurred, Hardy
would have been left suspended from the
bridge and his body would have beer

The sole object was to hang him as expe
