GONE!

Our paths have separated Mine lieth here; and yours? The great un' known
 Your pathway for all time. Eternally Youhl reap the fruits of love which you have sown.
 take again my tangled life work up Alone I seek it's my steries to solve, Alone drain the dregs of sorrows cup.
 It is so lonely, lovel Since you have gone my life seems cold and drear;
 The world is pale, the sunshine gray and still. The moon hangs in the sky like bright tear The winds sigh sadly half beneath their breath;
 The birds, the flowers. drOop their shiny Lost their songs and fragrance in the word, death!
 Days come and go And yet the morning only hurts my eyes, The careless hours rest heavy on my heart; woo contentment, It dissolves-and mes. I miss you so-your sweet companionship Nestled Godlike at my tired heart You were the balm that calmed all mercer moods, -. You were my joy; this pain-the other part.
 We were so happy Then death came And suf'ring far too deep for human thought Upon its heels came huugrll' ', as Tn haste It were to stab the victim 1t had caught. So farewell, loye-cold, unresponsive clay, Iwould not waken thee from thy sweet sleep; Rest well, I'll join you after lite's brief day Rest, heart of dust, close eyes no more 10 weep. -Georgto Crdcker.

 Captain Jack Crawford, the poet scout, has been grcat deal in New York and other Atlantic coast cities during the past \three years, and he creates sensation wherever he goes
 He is quite a handsome fellow, has an immense suit of brown hair, which falls gracefully over his shoulders and far down his back. Hc wears the huge white sombrero of the ideal scout and cowboy, and dresses In pie turcsque garments constructed of huckskin. At times, however, he wears a superb "Prince Albert" suit of black. but hc never discaris his som- brero, and his huge mane he has ale ways with him. Of course his scout. like appearance always makes him lconspicuous In crowd and turns many eyes toward him, some admir-. fngly, some curiously, and yet others fneeringly. He likes tho conspicnity knd Is fond of admiration, but seems fo care very little about the snecrs, .fither one way or the other. In fact, ife apparently seldom sees the a;- nfmpts to guy" him, but whom he itpes see them tho offender Is always e1ithin rraeh of his long. muscular ltSm at the moment, and Is liable to 10 1cd assistance in assuming the per haNndicular the next moment. Cap. nu n n Jack Is, moreover, a grcat ladies oign, and makes numerous friends theong the fair sex.

The Misfortune of a Dude.
Alex Sweet. in New York Mercury


 Many a young dude, clad in the most fashionable and expensive of raiment, walks the streets of New York with very little actual cash In his pockets. Among the gilded youth of limited financial resources Is Char lie Vanderclam. To look at him no- body would suppose for moment Chat financially he Is a wreck, but that's just what he Is. He has various and peculiar modes of raising the wind, one of which is to send flowers to his married lady friends and then borrow few hundred dollars from their husbands. These floral tributes, owing to the unwillingness of the New York florist to extend credit, have been a heavy tax on Charlie's re- sources. He incidentally mentioned his embarrassment to his florist, whereupon happy thought struck | the latter.
 "Mr. Vanderclam, think l can suggest plan whereby you can get your flowers regularly, and yet not be obliged to pay any actual cash for them."
 "Pd like to hear that plan," replied Vanderclam, excitedly.
 "lt Is very simple. You wear very fine clothes and underwear, but you do not wear them out. We are of about the same size. You let me have your cast-off clothing and I'll let you have bouquet every day. Pll send a bouquet of flowers every day to your room."
 That's a splendid idea," replied Charlie Vanderclam. "You will save money and SO will l."
 The arrangement worked to the sat- isfaction of the contracting parties. The florists friends were astonished at his fine clothes, and Charlie's bou- quets became the talk of the ei,tc. One day Charlie received beautiful bou. quet from his florist. and he sent 1t immediately to Mrs. Knickerbockcr, from whose husband Charlie expected to borrow a cool hundred or SO. Later on in the evening Charlie called at the Knickerbocker mansion, but was rec ceived with freezing dignity.
 "What's the matter? Heard any bad news?" asked Charlie. "I am very much disgusted, sir, with the note you sent my wife in that bouquet"
 "Notei didn't put any note in the bouquet. It wasn't me. Pll swear to God 1t wasn't me-" howled Charlie Vanderclam.
 MT. Knickerbocker handed Charlie the note which Mrs. Knickerbocker had found in the bouquet, at the same time taking occasion to remark that If he believed for & moment that Char lie was sober when he wrote 1t he would twist Charlie's nose until 1t might be advantageously used for corkscrew. Charlie seized the note with iivid fingers. 1t was from his friend, the florist, and was about their business affair, and no wonder Mrs. Knickerbocker was exasperated st Its contents, for it read as follows
 "I send you & bouquet worth at least i've dollars in cash, but I'll stick to my agreement, although the last pair of stockings you sent me were very much worn. l am wearing s pair of your drawers now although they are too tight for me-"
 Charlie was under the humiliating necessity of taking his friend aside and explaining the transaction to him. Somehow or other, 1t leaked out, and now, when Charlie goes to the Wind sor hotel, on Fifth avenue, the really rich dudes Of Wall street snub him unmercifully

gatherings he Is asked to exhibit this gift, and displays his powers of versi- fcation by rhyming, extemporAne- ously and in unccnsiDg flow oh any and all subjects presented by those around him.
 This poet scout has had curious career, no attempt to present which will he given here, further than to re- mark that As small boy he had never been to school day. llc cD- listed, early In the civil war as a drummer in Pennsylvania regiment and was wounded at Spottsylvania. In the hospital, tO which he was taken, he was taught by his nurses, the Sisters of Charity, to read and write, and after the war he went west, where he quickly became noted as a daring and valuable scout, and during this time he wrote and printed large quantities of his poetry.
 One remarkable fact connected with Crawford is that, notwithstanding his rough associations on the border and the straining hardships and exposure of his life as scout, he never tasted intoxicating liquor In any shape, and doubtless wouldn't know by the taste the difference between sherry wine and Bourbon whisky.
 At the time of the gold discoveries in the Black Hills Captain Jack wss sent from that region to Chicago to take specimens of the ore to parties inter- csted with the prospectors and dis. coverers, and he was also made the bearer of certain dispatches to General Sheridan. Crawford had never been in great city before, or at least he had never stayed at big hotel. So, arriving at one of the great hotels of Chicago late one evening, he asked to be shown to his room at once. What followed Is best told in his own lan- guage:
 "A kid grabbed my grip" he said, land started of toward little room with door to 1t like a cage, and followed him in and aat down. The boy stopped to skyIark with some other boys, and took 10 looking around for the bed, not knowing but what that piece of furniture shut up in the wall some way like had some- times seen exhibited In theatre as the way they have them in small rooms in France. Besides, thought the room was small enough to furnish a good excuse for having alI the nec- essary belongings shut up into the walls. Just at that time the boy gave the rope which ran through the room yank, and blast me if the whole thing didn't start toward the roof with me and the boy in 1t. l commenced to try to find something to hold on to, thinking something awful was going to happen, when the boy stopped the affair, and l tumbled to the fact that was in sort dumb waiter, which l afterward became fa- miliar with as aB elevator"
 Since those days Captain Jack has been several years an actor; has be- come acquainted with numerous dis tinguished men throughout the couD- try, and Is decidedly es yegLe and ou faa, whatever that is, in polite so- ciety, and is living exemplihcation of the fact that contact with the world Is the best school 10 learn of the world, and to become world-wi in the ways of toney society, the tricks of the tOughs or the manners of the middlings.

 NEW YORK, Nov, 6.-NaVer before proba- ply was such interest and excitement mani fested in an election as was witnessed in this city tonight There were in the neighbor- hood of 10000 people gathered on Broadway, Park Row. Printing House square and City Hall park, watching the returns. Traffic in Park Row was almost impossible. The street cars are having great difficulty in wedging through the crowds. A great crowd was in front of the Herald building stretch ing across Broadway and up Park Row. Here the crowds were impossible up to Print ing House square watching the stereopticon returns
 The crowd was about usually divided, and the cheering was alternately for each candi- date until the stereopticons put on bulletin at the same time when the applause was deafening, and sometimes indistinguishable. About 2,000 people were in Tsmmany hall to hear the returns. Great enthusiasm was manifested and the returns for msyoralty showing Grant ahead. At Cooper's Union there were about 3, 300 people of the county Democracy hearing the reading of the re- turns. Everything went quietly, although the earlier returns left Mayor Hewitt behind. Around the Republican and Democratic head quartere there were great throngs.

The general is by all odds the coolest person about the household. Numerous correspondents have called, seeking to talk with him, but to all he sends polite declination. His house to- night will be as strictly private as any other citizen, his friends having arranged to re- ceive returns in the city and wire them out. He is sending no replies to his many tele- orams
