HER GRAVE.

Alas, that so much loveliness should
sink into the damp, cold earth! Alas,
that beauty such as hers should pass
away, and that its image should exist
no more save in the hearts OF mourn
ing ones. Forms like hers oft pass,at
eve before the half-closed eye-they
glide like shadows DER our paths, or
bend from the soft edges of a moon
lit cloud and beckon to the 8 ky, but
rarely come like her to beautify our
homes and hearths with their abiding
smiles. | see her now, her blue eye
floating in its own clear light, her
young cheek bright as an iiIumined
gem, her red lips parted in their
mirth, her smile beaming like sun
shine from each lineament, her light
step bounding o'erthe Summer flowers
in very joyOusness, as if she were a
spirit Of the morning, or wild, glad
creature of the air-and can it be that
all that bright exhuberance Of life, and
love, and happiness, is sleeping now in
deep and dark decay? Oh! can it be
that Spring with her soft skies will
come again, and by her warm breath
WOO her violets and roses from the
earth, and send her streams leaping
and singing to the sea, and FIJI the
soft air with her thousand melodies of
bird and breeze, and grove and water
fall, and our loved, lost one be not
here to greet with us the glories of the
vernal time, and blend her ringing
cadences with all the harmonies of
Nature in her joy?-Geo. d. Prentice.

Lagarde's Elixir for Indigestion.
At VIM. Clegg's Drug Store.
Why IT is COLD ON THE MOUNTAINS

Go into the greenhouse on sun
shiny dav, and we find the temper
ature much hotter there than outside.
The glass will allow the hot sunbeams
to enter, but it refuses to allow them
out again with equal freedom, and
consequently the temperature rises.
Our whole earth is in this way to be
lkened to q greenhouse, only, instead
Of the panes Of glass, we are enveloped
by an enormous coating OF atmosphere.
When we are on the earth's surface
we are, as it were, inside the green
house, and we benefit by the interposit-
ion of the atmosphere; but when We
begin to climb very high mountains
we gradually get through the atmos-
phere and then we suffer from the
cold. Ii we could imagine the earth
stripped of its coat of air. then eternal
frost would reign over the whole earth
as we'll as on the top Of the mountains.

Lasarde's Elixir for sick headache

IN. Quad" writing to the Detroit
Free Press from the South, says:
"When we of the North refer to the
South, the negro always comes into
the question. His status and his future
are regarded by us as great problem.
we are much worried over it at times.
1t is matter which should be and can
be left with the South to take care
Of. The Southern negro is a theory
with us. He is solid substance to
the Southerner. He knows more
about him in day than we do in
year. He has got more excuses for
his failings than any Northern man
dare urge. He treats him more kindly
than We do the same race at the
North"

A high school girl, being told to

The opposition of the white race to
live on terms of social or school equa-
lity with the negroes, or to ne ruled
by them, is natural law, and it Is as
strong in New England as il is in Louis
lana. The politician who questi ins it
is an arrant rogue and deceiver. Here
we have practical instance, in John
Sherman's own State, of the natural
resentment Of white community
against the intrusion of negroes into
companionship with their children.
When race prejudice prevails in such
"bloody shirt" region, let there be
some charity extended to the Southern
people, who have to deal with a far
more unpleasant phase Of the problem.
