AUBURN WATER cures kidneys, liver, bladder


lie was an eminent citizen of Chicago, a
gentleman of ample means, possessing a
cultivated mind and noted for refined cle-
gance of manner. He had been in Wash
ington for six weeks, had been the rounds
of all the social gayeties of our West End,
had been feasted and petted, and, being
tired of the role of social lion, was about to
start for his home. As he was about to step
into parlor car at the Baltimore and Ohio

Breathe soft and low, o whispering wind
Above the tangled grasses deep,
Where those who loved me long ago
Forgot the world and fell asleep.

Or mausolem's empty pride,
Tells 90 the curious passer-by
Their virtues, or the time they died.

O'ergrown with moss and lichen gray,
Where tangle briar and creeping vine
Across the crumbling tablets stray
The summer sky is softly blue,
The birds still sing the sweet old strain
But something from the summer time
Is gone, that will not come again.
So many voices have been hushed,
= So many songs- -kaye.caas ID for aye,.-.
So many hands / used 10 touch
Are folded over hearts of clay.
The noisy world recedes from me,
cease TO hear its praises or blame;
The mOssy marbles echo back
No hollow sound of empty fame.
| only know that calm and still
They sleep beyond life's woe and wall,
Beyond the fleet of sailing clouds,
Beyond the shadow of the vale
| only feel that, tired and worn,
| halt upon the highway bare,
And gaze with ycarning eyes beyond
On fields that shine supremely fair

A PREFERENCE ON THE GALLONS.
A funny anecdote connected with
the Hon. Joe Blackburn's first race
for Congress is told. Joe happened
to bs passing through Owenton. the
county seat Ct Owen county, on the
occasion Of tie hanging of noted
criminal. As hanging is rather an
exceptional episode in the State of
Kentucky, the honorable Joe con-
clnded he would stop over q few
hours ard witness the event The
gallows was erected in the public
square, so that no citizen, however
humble. should lose the opportunity
OF witnessing the unusual spectacle.
1t was, in fact. a gala day such as the
history Of Owenton has seldom re-
corded. The Sheriff, with true Ken.

as one of the distinguished guests pre-
sent, to occupy seat on the gallows.
Blackb did so. After the rrelim-
inaries had been arranged. the Sher-
if consulted his watch and discovered
that it was not qnite twelve o'clock,
the hour fixed f>f the execution. Turn.

You have ten minutes yet to live.
Is there anything you desire to cay in
the meantime
The prisoner sullenly replied there
was not.

TooMBs AT BULL RuS.-General
Toombs. our Georgia fre-eater. was
gwen to criricising pretty severely all
the officers of the regular army who
had joined their fortunes with those
of the Confederacy. He was hot
blooded and impatient and chaffed at
the delays of the commanders in their
preparations for battle. His general
idea was that the troops went out to
fight, and he thought they should be
allowed to 20 at it at once.
An incident that occurred in the
second Manassas campaign viii serve
to illustrate his characteristic hot.
headedness. As We were preparing
to cross the Rapidan. Stuart sent me
word that he had cut off large cav
airy force and had all the fords guard
ed except one. He asked that de-
tail force to guard that point Of es-
cape. The work was assigned to the
command under Gen. Toombs, who
was absent at the time.
He had met kindred spirit in the
person Of wealthy Virginian named
Morton, whom he had known in Con-
grsss. aud was ont dining with him.
They were both good livers and loved
to have their friends with them. In
going back to his command General
Toombs came upon his troops on the
road and inquired what they were do.
ing there. The explanation was made.
Toombs had had good dinner and
felt independent. He said he would
give the general to understand that
he must consult him before sending
his troops ont to guard a ford, and
thereuron ordered them back to camp.
As the mystifed troops marched sol-
emnly back the matter was reported
to me. and I ordered Toombs under
arrest. I allowed him to ride with
his command as we marched against
Pope and expected that he would
make some explanation of his con-
duct.
He did not do so, ard the next
heard Of him he was stopping along
the route making stump speeches to
the troops and referring in ANYTHING
but complimentary terms to the COM
mander of his division. / sent him
back to Gordonsville. with instruc-
tions to confne himself to the limits
of that town in arrest until further
orders. He obeyed the command and
went to Gordonsville. Just 40 / was
leaving the Rarpahannock I received
long letter of apology from him, and
directed him to join his command. AS
We were preparing for the charge at
Manassas, Tombs got there. He was
riding rapidly, with bis hat in his
hand, and was much infused. Twas
just sending a courier 20 his command
with dispatch.
Let me carry it," he exclaimed.
with pleasure" I responded. and
handed him the paper.
He put spurs to his horse and dashed
of, accompanied BY a courier. When
be rode up and took command Of his
brigade there was wild enthusiasm,
and, everything being ready. an ex-
ultant shout was sent up and the men
sprang to the charge. l never had
