MARY TO HER sAVIOUR's TOMB

Mary to her Saviour's tomb
Hasted at the early dawn;
Spice she brought, and rich perfume
But the Lord she loved was gone.
For awhile she weeping stood,
Struck with sorrow and surprise,
Shedding tears, plenteous flood,
For her heart supplied her eyes.
Jesus, who Is always near,
Though too often unperceived,
Comes His dropping child to cheer,
Kindly asking why she grieved.
Though at first she knew him not
When He called her by her name,
Then her griefs were all forgot.
For she found He was the same.
Grief and signing quickly fed
When she heard His welcome voice;
Just before she thought Him dead,
Now He bids her heart rejoice.
What change His word can make,
Turning darkness into day
You who weep for Jesus sake,
lie will wipe your tears away.
He who came to comfort her
When she thought her all was lost
viii for your relief appear,
Though You now are tempest-tossed.
On His word your burden cast,
On His love your thoughts employ;
Weeping for awhile may last,
But the morning brings the joy.

DPeamt OF Burglars.

About $50 o'clock this morning the
early rlsers on Houston street were start
led by the reports of four shots fired in
rapid succession. 1t was discovered that
the shooting came from the neighborhood
ofthe Vance residence. where Officer Ry-
man, who was on duty, at once repaired.
On making investigation he discovered
that DIR. Bowman, an oculist, was lying
in bed and suddenly declared there were
robbers in the house, lie jumped out of
bed, seized pistol, and commen need
shooting, terrifying his wife. After care
full search officer Ryman came to the con-
clusion that no robbers had been there
and the gentleman was suffering from al
hallucinatlon. The firing seems to have
been somewhat reckless, as two of the
bullets were lodged in the wall of the
room. DR.. Bowman was suffering from
considerable excitement, but the re-
lterated assertions Of the officer and his
wife that no one was there oalmed his
perturbed spirit.

FOR LIBERTY.
TWO Prisoners From the County
jail Nearly Escape.

Last night two prisoners made an at
tempt to break out OF the county Jail.
The two men were named Potter and
Harrington, one of whom is in Jail on
charge of mail robbing and the other for
horse stealing. The means by which
they expected to make their escape was
by boring hole in the top of the cell.
The men had been work on this hole for
some time, and the night before las
the noise of their working was heard by
the officials of the Jail, but they were
unable to locate from whence ii came.
A strict watch has been kept round the
Jail the last night or two, and this extra
vligance was not without cause, for
while two deputies were in the yard
watching, they saw the two men get
through the hole and Immediately threw
down their double. barrelled shot guns
on the prisoners, telling them to throw
up their hands. The prisoners were
then secured and placed in another
cell heavily ironsd with steel shackles.
On examining the former cell it was dis
covered that the men had made saws
from the flaps of the beds and the pieces
of an iron bar, which runs at the top of
the cell they had broken.
