THE GOLDEN CURL.

Within my hand hold curl
O; soft and sillzen hair:
Ii twines about my finger tips
As If some life were there:
II moves my heart With strangest power,
And sweeps each trembling string,
For. from that golden lock of hair
thousand memries spring.
The tears from eyes unused to weep
Have dimmed its luster now,
For oh that golden tress OF hair
Once waved upon a brow
As fair as ever surbeams kissed;
Its beauty now has fed
This link alone remains to bind
Ny spirit to the dead
NY thoughts rove back to days Of youth
Those joyous happr hours.
When b and in hanI We often roamed
In search OF wildwood flowers.
Outriv'ling all the birds OF spring
In merry giriisl glee:
For We were Just as gladSome then
As childhood e'er could be.
Then We had never dream ID that grief
Could blight glad hearts like ours:
That sharpest thorns lie oft concealed
hearth earth's most beauteous flowers:
w ne'er had thought that aught on earth
Our happy lives could part
Or darksome shadows ever cloud
The sunshine Of the heart
But all too soon that gentle girl
Was lying pale and still
And IN my heart there was void
That naught on earth coIld ill.
Since then, alas. full oft I've seen

And deaths dark shadow otter dim

The guillotine is composed OF two
upright posts, thirteen feet high, the
| inner sides grOOved and surmOuntcd by
a Intel called the chapeau. The space
between these two frames is about
fourteen inches and it is in the grooves
that falls the triangular-s shaped steel
blade; the knife is bolted 10 u heavy

about yard from the ground Il board

another board similarly cut forms the
upper part Of what is called the lunctto.
The bascule or swinging plank is in
the rear Of the upright beams and its
vertical position comes up to the cul-
prits breast Contrary to what is
often printed, the condemned is not
strapped against this board, but simply
pushed against it, and in falling his neck
fits into the lower half of the lunette:
