The st. Louis Grain Failure.

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-The failure Of the

No Apprehension That the New

New York World special.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-S nator Pen.
dleton expresses great confidence in the
maintenance of the Civil Service Law BY
President Cleveland. Ia recent CON
vsrsation he said ~ think Mr. Clevs.
land Is well dispcsed towards Civil Ser
vice reform. In Its broad philo optical
aspect he ia friendly towards this law, and
| think he 10 too sensible man mot 10
abide by it." Iu speaking Of the office
seekers he said: "0h, there is room for
al Of them without disturbing the
hard workers who have obtained
positions under the competitive
examination system and riR!dly observed
the requirements OF the law. About
IA 900 positions are held under the Civil
Service rule, and there are some 80, 900
places outside, waiting to By 6lled under
the d appointment system. OF course
It Is absurd In the extreme to imagine
that President Cleveland will return In
office all Of this vast army OF office
holders who do not come under the Civil
Service rule. Mr.. Clevelapd's election
was secured by the mass Of III
dependent Republican voters. They
did not vote for him because
he was Democrat, but because
he was q reformer, aid they expected TO
see reforms instituted. From the char.
ao!er Of the man and the principles that
have actuated his policy all through his
public life one may safely deduos the
conclusion that he will not jeopardiss the
civil service law, which is q step in the
right direction towards reform"
John McLssn proposes to Hght this
view, and is employing his candidacy fol
the office Of postmater- general as means
to that end. Mr. Mclean hopes to make
such good push for the place, that II he
does not himself succeed, he will be able

Kiss me sweetheart the spring ia here,
And Love is lord Of you and me
The bluebells beckon each passing bee,
The wildwood laughs to the lowered year.
There is no bird in brake or brere,
But to his little mate sings he.
"Kiss me, sweetheart the spring is here,
And Love is lord Of you and mel"
The blue sky laughs out loud and clear,
The missed thrush upon the tree
Pipes for sheer gladness loud and free,
And go singing to my dear.
''Kiss me, sweetheart the spring is here,
And Love is lord Of you and me !"
Life lapses by for you and me;
Our sweet days pass US by and flee.
And evermore death draws US nigh;
And blue fades fast out of our sky,
The ripple ceases from our sea.
What would we not give, you and /,
The early sweet Of life to buy
Alas sweetheart, that cannot be;
Life lapses by.
But though our young years buried lie,
Shall love with spring and summer die
What il the roses faded be?
We In each others eyes shall see
New springs, nor question how or why
Life lapHes by.

A Memphis special to the New Orleans
Itmss- Democrat says: Some IL years ago
John d. Thompson, residing near Somsr-
vile, In Faystte county, Tenn, having q
spite against neiRhbor named Bailey,
filled bottle with liquor, which he
poisoned with stryohnine, and placed It
In the road so that Bailey would fnd 1t.
His scheme succeeded, and Bailey,
together with two Of his children, who
drank Of the poisoned liquor, died. Their
death was = mystery until year ago,
when Joseph Thompson, q son Of John
D. Thompson, was taken very i'll, and
thinking he would die, confessed to the
crime his father committed IA years
previous, of which he had full knowledge,
having been with his parent when the
poisoned liquor had been placed In the
road, knowing that Bailey would soon
pass that point. Joseph Thompson did
not die, but recovered, and together with
HE father were tried at Somerville last
Tuesday. Both were convicted. The
father received q sentence OF 81 years In
the penitentiary, aud the son IA years.
This is celebrated case, from the fact
that 10 years elapsed from the time the
crime was committed before punishment
was melted out TO the criminals.

That soornful word, how soon twas said
That slight revenged, when none was Riv'nl
Then swift the tongues sharp ARROWS sped,
At which, through twinned hearts deeply
driy'n,
Sweet love in terror fled.
Much tried he me, my bosom's lord,
Suspecting that and limiting this;
ragged taunts, which my heart abhorred
When spoke, launched, no point to miss,
And stabbed him with each word.
Come here my greyhound, faithful thou
While faithless he who gave thee proves;
Smoothing in all my grief thy brow,
marvel II his fancy moves
To me repentant now.
Perchanoe those hasty words regret
Would fain recall-each naughty look
Patient his wish might have met
There the gate clicked-doth he yet brool
Loves toils, loves gilded netP
Ny hearts love comes-'twere wise TO pout;
A girl with spirit should behave;
And yet, methinks, might him hout
Till Love withdrew the boon 1t gave,
And GOODNESS followed doubts.
The door opes-up perplexed start.
Timid yet confident he stands;
Begone, distrust no more apart
Should lovers dwell-I seize his hands,
And nestle next his heart.

A WAXING SONG.
Felix Gray.

Out Of the caverns of Night,
Out of dark Slumber's abysses,
Drew my Love with kisses,
Back to the SUMS sweet light.
For when waking looked on her face,
Afush with the alien glow
OF light could not know
OF glory might not trace
Instant my boding soul
Was filed with frantic fear;
And seemed, on sudden, to hear
Funeral bells a-toll.
o whittier vast roaming, my Sweet?
Beside what streams delayiug2
In what fair meadow straying
With idly lettering feet2
Whose whisper, low and tender,
Awoke that smile Of gladness
That shook my soul to sadness2
Was it some seraph slender
Leaning from Heavens high portal,
With eyes Of wondrous lustre,
And locks that shining, cluster
About beauty immortal?
What spake he Of heavenly blisses,
or rapturous songs supernal,
or glory and gladnees eternal
When broke in with my kisses?
