AMoMANS COMPLAINT.

I know that deep within your heart oi

You hold me shrined apart from com

And that my step, my voice, can bring

And, yet, dear love. through all the

You never speak one word of tender

Nor stroke my hair, nor softly clasp my

You think, perhaps, should be all con

To know so well the loving place

Within your life, and SO you do moi

How much 1 long to hear the story
told.
You can not know, when we two sit
alone
And tranquil thoughts within ycuI
mind are stirred,
My heart is crying, like tired child
For one fond look, one gentle, loving
word.
1t may be when your eyes look into
mine
You only say, "How dear she is to mel'

glance,
How radiant this plain old world

That choicest blessings unto me be

But if you said aloud, "GOd bless thee,

I should not ask greater boon from
Heaven.

But should you say, Through thee

The dreariest desert that our path could

Would suddenly grow green beneath
my feet.
'Tis not the boundless waters ocean

That give refreshment to the thirsty
flowers,
But just the drops that, rising to the
skies,
From thence descend in softly falling

What matter that our graneries are

With all the richest harvest's golden

If we who own them can not enter in,
But famished stand before the close

And so it's sad that those who should be

In that true love which crowns our

Go praying with white lips from day to

For loves sweet tokens, and receive

drew forth a small packet of mementoes
and placed them in the breast pocket OF
the coat. Having performed these last
direct personal offices, Col. Grant retired
and those in charge dropped the heavy
plate-elass top of the casket in place, ,and
the casket was sealed by the turning
down of sixty screws that press the
glass down into its fittings and which
thus render the casket alright. And so
this evening. the Generals remains lie
covered with the American flag. An
incandescent lamp sheds a mellow light
about the heavy canopy, and the flag
covered casket beneath is in shadow and
rest until the day of removal
In the room, and beside it, the men OF
U. 5. Grant Post are on watch, the men,
bers of Wheeler Post have their vigil
upon the veranda and outside, and the
REGULARS" who tireless tramp the beat
an patbs over the fine needles under the
trees about the cottage.
GUARDING THE BODY.
The posting of U. S. Grant Post, G. A
r.. detail about the cottage was mat
ter of some Formally. Col. Grant was
informed by the undertakes that the re-
mains and casket were in readiness for
the last rites, whereupon the Colonel
met Chaplain Civilian and Commander
johnson, of the post, beside the remains.
Col. Grant then informed them that he
desired the body guard now to feel that
they, next to the family, were nearer to
the remains, and that until the inter-
ment was consummated, the Generals
body would be left to their care. For
tonight, be said, they would remain bet
side the body, and to morrow the body
guard would receive instructions locking
to the admittance of residents on the
mountain at certain hours to them spe-
CITED. The Colonel's manner was
straightforward, as usual, but his listen
ers observed deep feeling, only held un-
der control by the quiet dignity that
has characterized him since his fathers
death made him in fact the head of the
household.
The suggestion from New York that
the remains be borne down the Hudson
river from Albany, accompanied by a
procession of shipping. has reached the
family of Gen. Grant informally. They
will make no request in the matter, but
should Gen. Hancock indicate a prefer
ence for that plan, or suggest it to the
family, the family would not oppose it,
So far as the family is in statu quo.
In regard to the suggestion to bring
the body of Gen. Gront to New York by
way of the Hudson river instead of by
rail. it is said that various organizations,
military and otherwise, which have ar
ranged to go to Albany have carried for
ward their plans to include rail trans+
portation to New York. AS an offset to
this it is suggested that the trains might
act as an escort to the fleet and go down
the Hudson together to the light of
watchfres along the banks. Mrs. Grant
and the ladies of the family have ar
ranged to leave here about two hours
after the body on Tuesday next. They
will go from Saratoga to New York in a
special car attached to the four o'clock
train that day.

THE BIG BRIDGE WASHED
AWAY.

The heavy rain last Tuesday
caused sudden rise in the Bogue
Falia. and Wednesday morning it
was discovered that the big bridge,
at Covington, had left its moorings
and SILENTLY stole away" This is
q most unfortunate calamity, and
will prove serious loss. as it was
the largest and most important
bridge in.the parish. It was built
less than a year ago, and had it
been properly brsced and bolted
down, it would doubtless have
withstood the freshet last Tuesday
night. This bridge is q public ne
cessity. and should Do rebuilt es
soon as possible. We know of no
happier way to dedicate the new
Parish Courthouse than by opening
it with a grand entertainment and
ball, the proceeds to be invested in
building new bridge. and We be-
lieve our suggestion will meet with
q hearty response. The Court
house will be flushed next week.
and by the FIRST Monday. in May it
will be in readiness for occupancy.
It could be SO arranged as to have
the dancing on the lower floor, If
there is any objection to having it
upstairs on account Of the newness
OF the building.

Wonderful

From the Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept 18th, 1880.
avery seldom do we read of an actual
case of recovery, where hope had alto
gether been lost, to parallel that which
was Monday investigated by Dispatch
reporter, who had heard in various quar-
tiers persons talking to their friends of a
cure, seemingly little short Of marvellous,
that had been performed. The plain facts
in the case referred to, without exaggera-
ton, are these, as they were learned from
the mother of the young man, his pastor
and other persons well known in the COM
munity:
William Lincoln Curtis is the name
of the young man in question. He is now
employed at II. X. Porter & Co.'S loco
morive works in Pittsburgh, Pa. A year
ago he resided with his mother on Grant
street. About that time he went to bed
one evening with a violent pain in his
shoulder, the result, he thought, of a cold.
the next morning the shoulder was
greatly swollen, the pain was intense, and
aches were felt all through his system.
His case was speedily developed into a
violent form of chronic rheumatism,
among the first notable features of which
was the paralysis of his left arm.
"He gradually grew worse, and in a few
months the elbow and knee joints and
both ankles became enormously enlarged.
In March last the check bones began to
enlarge, and upon his left side particu-
larly, spreading his face out of all resem-
blance to his former self. The pain in all
his joints became intense; fever, with its
deteriorating effects, was now added, and
he becamer rapidly reduced to the semblance of
a skeleton, while vitality reached its lowest
possible condition, and his sufferings weroof
such an indiscTibahle character that those who
most loved him sometimes thought it would be
better if he was called away. AT this time
physicians well known in Pittsburgh informed
his parents that they could give no hopes OF
recovery.
..Thc young man finally commented taking
that wonderful medicine, PERUNA. In two
weeks quite 4 change for the better, was per.
eeptible.- In six weeks all the enlargement had
been reduced completely. while in spirits and
strength the patient WAS quite rs well as he had
ever been in his life. Nearly three weeks ago
he resumed work as 4 machnist at his old place,
able to perform much labor as ever in his life.
The mother of Willie Curtis, in stating all
these facts. said Indeed can not look upon
the cure much less than as miracle. do not
hesitate in sounding the praise of PERUNA, and
in recommending it to all my friends.'"
The pastor of the church where the young
man attended Sabbath school was visited, and
he readily confirmed the facts of the deiormed
bones, the e,naciated condition from disease,
and of the doctors having given him up. He
was greatly surprised at his improved condition.
Siid he, "If he had not spoken, would not
have known him.

A REPETITION or THE EN-.
REPAYMENT RE-
QUESTED.

We received the following COM
munication, last Wednesday morn
ing. which we publish for the bene-
fit of all concerned:
CONVICTION, la. April 8, 1885.
EDITOR ST. TAxMaNY FARMER:
I am one of n large circle who
were kept away from the enter
tainment. last Tuesday night. on
account of the inclement weather
I understand there are many, be-
sides myself, who were unable to
attend, for the same reason; and
furthermore, that even had all who
desired sought admission, accom-
mediation could not have been at
forded, SO large was the attend
ance. Therefore. / think 4 repeti-
ton of the performance would be
well received. Will you kindly ask
for it? Yours, etc,
EspERANcE.
In regard to the request con-
tanned in the above. we will state
that SO far as our knowledge is
concerned. the participants in the
entertainment of last Tuesday night
would again volunteer their SER
vices. for some other euual,y
worthy object. In fact, we have
heard several express their perfect
Willingness to again tender their
services, in order to raise money
to pay for rebuilding the big
bridge across the Bogue Falia
river. provided the parish author
tiles will grant them tho use of the
new Courthouse for the entertain
ment; aud many have expressed a
willingness to give still another en-
tertainment, to pay for identifying
the Courthouse grounds. We can
only speak, however. for those
whom we have consulted upon the
subject. but we have no doubt al
the young ladies and gentlemen
who took an active part in the en-
tertainmeht last Tuesday nigh,
will voluntarily give their services
to help rebuild the big bridge
II it is desired to repeat the enter.
tainment in week or SO, and close
with ball, the public school house
could doubtless be obtained. It il
conveniently located, and would
accommodate large gathering.
