PRAxITEIEs AND PHRYNE,

A thousand silent years ago,
The starlight, faint and pale.
Was drawing On the sunset glow
Its soft and shadowy veil.
When from his work the sculptor stayed
hisihand, aad turned TO one
Who stood beside him. half in shade,
Said with sigh, "'.ris done"
''Thryne, thy human lips shall pale,
Thy rounded limbs decay,
No love nor prayer can auyht avail
To bid Thy beauty stay;
But there thy smiles for centuries
On marble lips shall live
For art can grant that love deuies.
And tix the fugitive.
Sad thought nor age, nor death shall fad,
The youth OF this cold bust,
When the quick brain and hand that made
And thou and l art dust
When all our hopes and fears are dead.
And both our hearts are cold,
And love ia like tune that's played,
And life tale that's told.
This counterfeit Of senseless stone,
That no sweet blush can warm,
lhat same enchanting look shall own
The same enchanting form.
And there upon that silent face
Shall unborn ages see
Perennial youth, perennial grace
And scaled serenity.
And strangers, when we sleep in peace,
Shall say not quite unmoved
So smiled upon Praxiteles,
The phryue whom be loved"

~A young man named Henry A. Myer has
been convicted in the Baltimore Criminal Court of
the charge of brutaIy beating his wife, and Judge
Stewart sentenced him to receive twenty lashes on
the bare back and be confined in the House of
Correction for one year. An effort will be made
to secure new trial for the brute, but it is not
likely to succeed. If he is whipped-and it is
earnestly hoped the full sentence of the Court may
be carried out-he will be the first white man in
the State who has been punished by this means
for wife-beating. Judge Stewart deserves the
thanks of the community for this just sentence.
