MY OLD LOVE.

L saw face in the street tonight,
That brought up the buried years
ne race OF the woman might have we'd
And it filed my heart with tears;
sof she loved me WE'LL and loved her
too,
But a shadow fell over our way;
And hnked myself with some one else,
And she Is my wife to-day.
Long years have passed, and but few re.
grets
Have fingered around my heart,
for the wife have wed is good and true,
And acts womanly part.
dare not think had happier been
>, With ;he sweet first love Of my youth
For she have wei is treasure OF grace
And has served me with love and Truth.
But the. face that Isaw in the streets to.
night
In my soul such dreams has stirred.
mat shrink before my wife's kind gaze,
And am stung Y each tender word;
Aud the children who troop around MY
knee
And deem me 80 good and wise,
Little reck of the thoughts that trouble me
Or the tears that bedim my eyes.
Were my old love wed, we'll thea, perhaps,
AL these thoughts rou d SOON dissipate,
And yet, had her tate so designed it
fear,
The man she had we'd should hate
Can her heart have been true t. the past
While mine has fresh anchorage sought?
l must not think that, lest breach
In the peace of my home should be
wrought.
How would it have been had we wed?
Should happier be, or would she?
God knows; but this truth l ain bound to
confess,
My wife is dear and true wife to me.
lis not from what nigh. have been, but
from what is.
That we now have to gather delight,
And yet, my old love, not the wife Of my
heart,
Viii be first in my dreams to night.

They Want Credit.
.mcricus Recorder

Americus Recorder
As an instance of the colored
brothers shrew1ness IN driving a
bargain, and the celerisy W th
which he makes a purchase when
credit is offered him, we cite the
following instance which occurred
in one Of our stores recently: An
unknown country darkey dropped
in, and among the many other
things be looked at, he priced an
oyercoat. Tie merchant, as is
his won't, priced him the coat very
cheap for. cash, but the darkey
declined to purchase ii and was
ahown another one at less price.
This was likewise declined, as
we're several others, all OF which
had been offered him at vely
small margin Of profit. The mer-
chant-who, by IT, way,, knows
how to drive bargains as well az
his nelghbors-decided, in his
despair at not effecting sale, to
resort to the credit dodge in the
hope of accomplishing. the result
desired, and to this end selected
from his, stock an Sovercot which
cost him S1.65, and which he
would have willingly. taken "cost"
for. This he offered to the intel
ligent and honest black ssphiloso-
pher for $40, agreeing to charge
50 of it and accept the Iremaining
$9 cash. The coon bit at the offer
with the alacrity ofsa catfish swal-
lowing a worm, and without OK
amining the coat or even trying it
on, he took it and went on his
way rejoicing, elated with the
idea of having bought it partly at
lesst on a credit. The merchant
is rather indifferent about the
payment of, the g balance which
was charged.

The New Orleans Times Demo-

eyewitness of the eSecation on
October 18th Of General j. Del
gado, Lieutenant Colonel Indale-
clio Garcia, Commander Migael
Cortez, and Lieutenant it Gabriel
Loyano, who were shot at Coma
yugua for leading an expedition
against Honduras. The four Off
GERS above named were lodged in
a all prison at Comayugua
when the news Of their sentence
reached them. Gener'I DeIgado's
wife vas there to plead with q
wife's and woman's devotion for
her husbands life. 1t was the
desire of President Brogan to
spare General Delgado's life, and
any pretext would have been
readily seized upon to give him
an opportunity of fresing himself,
and the same time vindicate the
tribunal which had condemned
him. The President sent mes
senger to him to say that if he
would promise never again to take
arms against Honduras, he should
receive q pardon. The soldier
was too brave to accept even his
life on these terms and he sent
back word that he woald see Hon
duras in an even more topical
climate than she now enjoys be-
fore he would accept his pardon
on such pledge. When his an
s,Der was received there was moth
ing LETT but to prepare for execu-
ton.
In the countries south Of this
there are few preleminaries to
such not uncommon fvents. The
priest, armed squad and coffin
were soon obtained, and on the
morning OF their execution the
men were taken to q point near
the church of Comayagua. The
four collins we're placed near the
wall and the four condemned
wers led to them. They accepted
their positions as easily and
gracefully as If they were in box
