As blithe little maid as you,
And, though her hair is snowy white,
Her eyes still have their maiden blue,
And on her cheeks as fair Ea thine,
Methinks girlish blush would glow
II you recalled the valentine
She got, ali many years ago.
A valorous youth loved gran'ma then,
And wooed her in that auld lang syne;
And first he told his secret when
He seut the maid that valentine,
No perfumed page nor sheet Of gold
Was that first hint of love he sent,
But with the secret gran'pa told
81 love you"-gran'ma was content.
Go, ask your gran'ma, if you will,
H-though her head be bowed and gray
though her feeble pulse be chill
True love abideth not for aye;
By that quaint portrait on the wall,
That smiles upon her from above,
Methinks your gran'ma can recall
The sweet divinity OF love.
Dear Elsie, here's no page Of gold
No sheet embossed with cunning art
But here's the solemn pledge Of old
81 love you, love, with all my heart"
And if in what send you here
You read not all Of love expressed,
| Go-go to gran'ma, Elsie dear,
| And she will tell you all the rest.

rug LIB xRTK BELL.


A sound like the sound OF thunder rolled,
For the bell OF Freedom at midnight tolled,
Through mighty land was heard.
And the chimes still rung
From its iron tongue,
Steadily swaying to and fro;
And to some It came
Like breath OF flame
And to some sound Of woe.
Above the dark mountain, above the blue
1t was heard by the fettered and heard by the
brave;
1t was heard in the cottage and heard in the
hail.
And its chimes gave glorious summons to all;
The sabre was sharpened the time-rusted
blade
OF the Bond started out in the pioneers glade
Like herald Of wrath And the host was ar
rayed
Along the dark mountain, along the blue wave,
Swept the ranks Of the Bond-swept the
ranks Of the brave;
And a shout, as Of waters. went up to the DOME
When a star blazing banner unfurled,
Like the wing Of some seraph, flashed out
from his home,
Uttered freedom-snd hope to the world.
Ger the hilltop and tide its magnificent folds,
With terrible glitter OF azure and gold,
In the storm, in the sunshine and darkness
| unrolled,
| 1t blazed in the valley, it blazed on the mast,
1t leaped with its eagle abroad on the blast
/ And the eyes of the whole nations were
turned to its light,
Aud the heart of the multitude soon
Was swayed by its stars, as they shone through
Like an ocean when swayed by the moon.
Again through the midnight that bell
thunders out,
And the banners and torches are hurried
about.
A shout as Of waters A long uttered cry
How it leaps, how it leaps from the earth to
From the sky to the earth, from the earth to
Hear chorus re.eChoed, 1.-THE People are
Free!"
That old bell is still seen by the patriots eye,
And he blessed it ever, when journeying by +;
Long years have passed DER 1t, and yet every
/ soul
Will thrill in the night to itswondrous roll.
For it speaks in its belfry, when kissed by the
blast
Like glory-wreathed tone from the mystical
Past.
Long years shall roll DER it, and yet every
chime
Shall increasingly tell Of an era sublime,
More splendid, more dear than the rest OF all
| time.
o yes If the flame Of our affairs should
pale,
Let its voice but be heard, and the freeman
shall start
To rekindle the fire, while he sees on the
gale,

The crime for which this boy, only II
years old, was lynohed, is this: A trav-
ellipg timer whose name is unknown,
but who came from pennsylvania, pasaed
through here last Friday on his way TO
the Pooshontas coal mines, on the West
Virginia line.
When he reached the foot OF Garden
Mountain, in Bland county, 81 miles
northwest Of this point, he stopped to
drink from watering boz, when he was
shot In the neck with sings by some one
in ambush, making q wound two inches
in diameter. The shooting not killing

severe blows on the head with large
stick. On the same evening three men
were passing when they noticed blood on
the ground. Following the trail down the
road few feet they found the body in q
sink hole without any clothes on, exoept
shirt, and covered with laurel brush.
Jackson was arrested with the mnr
