THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashful-
Free and easy, but not bold;
Like an apple, Iipe and mellow
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy
There is mischief in her dimplo,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schooled in all her arts;
She mas taken her diploma
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh ard when to smile;
chi maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while.
Are you sadl How very serious
Will her handsome face becomel
Are you angryl She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthfull how her laughter
Silver-sounding, will ring outl
She can lure, and catch, and play you
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bold and wise
Young Americans of twenty,
With the love looks in your eyes
1on may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But | know little widow
Who could win and fool you all.

THE RANsoMED.

The following poem was written by Ten
nessees most gifted orator, Gen. William I.
Haskell, while an inmate of the Lexington,
Kentucky, Insane Asy lum, in 1857. 1t was
published at the time in the CITIZEN, but W.
lhink it worthy of republication;
Pm adrlft on life's ocean, and wildly sweep,
Aimless and helmless its fathomless deep:
The wild winds assail me, it thresteningly

The clouds roll around me in hideous forms,

The mad waters whelm mol drownl oh,
Mercy oh, mercy O, Lord set me freel
And take me, oh, take me, to heaven and
Thee,

Faint reeling and wesry--l'm mRdl OIL

No glad waters meet me, no streams flowing

All, hopeless, pray Thee, tits idle and vain,

Let the stream of Deliverance flow gently
to me,
And drift me, OIL drift me to Heaven and
Thee.
Mid the wranglings of men, and their con-
hicts so fierce,
Half mad and despairing, my lips spit a
curse,
Instead of imploring a refuge and peace,
From lite's maddening battle, for hope and
release;
bear on defantly, proud, reckless, IN
blanched,
at the dangers that KEN me. The curses !

At earth and heaven, Lord! mercy for me!
Receive me! receive me, to heaven and Thee.

Death of R. A. Alternately.

R. A. Alternately, who was born
on Leatherwood creek, Giles coun-
ty, Tenn, April 9th, 1920, died at
Bonham, Texas, March End, 1885.
He had been in bad health two
years but it was not thought he
would die so soon. In an early
day the family removed to Big
creek, 10 miles north of Pulaski.
He remained here until 1855, when
he and his brother E. G. Aber
nathy moved to Green county, Mo.
In 1861 he came to Texas. During
the last Is years he resided in
Bonham, Fannin county. He left
family consisting of a wife and
three children; two daughters and
one son. r. A. Alternately ever
had the esteem ana confidence Of
those who knew him; he W as con-
sidered a model of industry, integ-
ritY and uprightness; in word, he
was regarded as a good man. In
the year 1859 he became a member
of the Christian church at Spring
field, No, and ever afterwards lived
the life of christian. This is the
comfort and consolation that his
wife and children have in their be-
reavement, knowing that if they
live the life of faith and obedience
they shall be reunited in a bright
er world above, where there shall
be no more sorrow pain nor death.

sHer favorite song.

The nature Of farm life 10 in no
small degree conducive to economy;
but still there are many times when
a farmer thinks he is practicing
rigid frugality, when in reality he is
doing just the opposite. Whenever
poor stock is kept to save an outlay
for better blood, farm work done
with poor tools to save purchasing
new ones, poor teams kept because
good on es cost too much, poor seed
sown to prevent the expense Of buy
ing good, the economy practiced Is
of a very poor order. The best
is good enough for me" would be a
splendid motto under such circum-
stances.

ASlaVe S Revenge.
BY hrs. F. C. DE FoNTAINE.

n the most fertile portion of the
beautiful ilse of Cuba, where
80 fruits, flowers and plants grow
SO in tropical hxuriance, stood
Beverly" the lordly estate of Leo
Dardo De Costa, at one time govern
Or-general of that portion of the is
land. Huge palmetto and palm
trees waved their graceful branches
high in the air, which was perfum-
ed by the breath of thousands of
exotics. POmegranate and banana
boughs bent beneath the weight of
lucious fruit, while fountains sent
up tiny jets from most unexpected
sources.
Every tree and plant was tended
with the utmost care, and every
tradition, which bad been handed
down from generation to generation
religiously preserved. In short,
both nature and art seemed to have
exhausted their resources to make
Beverly" an earthly Eden,sbut like
its prototype, it too had its ser
pent.
This beautiful ancestral home
had been the abiding place of many
generations of this honored name,
which had been identified with the
interests of the island in one way
or another since its first settlement.
At the time to which we refer, the
slaves on the neighboring planta-
lions were in a state of revolt, and
the disaffection had spread to "Bev-
erly." Chief among the malcon-
tents here was "Hercules," a huge
black negro, endowed with the
strength of the traditional Hercules.
In order to quell any further up
rising it was determined to make
an example of thiseringleader, and
he was consequently punished by
and castigation. 1t
was also deemed advisable to ban
ish him from the island at the close
of his imprisonment; but Hercules
decided differently, and st the end
Of the first week made good his es
cape. Search was made in every
quarter, without avail, and finally
given up, as 1t was supposed that
he had fed from the island,

and he was borne away to car
riage.
"Ricardo,' said a voice at his
side, "the deed has been avenged,
but it hasn't given US back our
darling
The eyes of the two met-the
gray haired sire and the promised
husband.

Bonham, Texas, March 10.

One of our East Hill citizens
q gentleman of such ssdate bearing
and elegant department that we
dare not give his name, but whom
we will designate as Judge j. for
short-iust before retiring one
night last week concluded to see
that the hall doors were properly
secured, having just read an &C
count of daring burglary. When
he stepped into the hall he left the
door slightly ajar, and in his alb
sent-mindedness, got turned around
and instead of going to the door he
went in the opposite direction where
he thought he saw the door open,
and brought up squarely in front
of large mirror. There was just
enough light to distinguish his
own outline in the glass and he
thought it was a man outside com
ing st him. He stopped and his
courage was restored on seeing the
other fellow stop too, and immedi-
ately he proceeded to cross exam
inc the burglar and ask him such
conundrums as "Who's thatp'
.'Who's that, 1 sayY' What do
you wantY. Receiving no answer,
and the fellow still standing menac-
ingly, his alarm began to return,
but when he went to move the bur
glar moved too and it frOze the
Judge still again. His voice began
to culver as he again demanded his
business, and then he began to
call loudly Tor his gun. By this
time he had the house aroused and
the good wife frightened almost as
badly as he was, when some one
brought light and the judge saw
the situation and wilted back into
his room. He says he thought from
the robbers looks that he came to
burn and kill and was such q hard
looking case he hODed for no mercy

obtained from milling. Mr.. J. Kemper
returned to Maiden last Friday evening
and at our request placed in our hands,

The ore consisted OF two lots. one of 8. $50
