you Kissed Me-

The following poem was written l
1867 by Miss Frona Corey, a lady IN
der 20 years OF age. James Redpatl
the historian, thought so much of th
poem that he had an edition printe
on white satin. John G.. Whittier, tn
Quaker poet, wrote of it and its youn
author, that she had truly mastere'
the secret of English verse
You kissed me. Ny head
Dropped low on your breast
With q feeling Of shelter
And infinite rest,
While the holy emotion
Ny tongue dared not speak
Flashed up in flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held me fast;
Oh! your arms were so bold;
Heart beat against heart
In their passionate fold.
Your glances seemed drawing
My soul through my eyes
As the sun draws the mist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lips clung to mine
Till prayed in my bliss
They might never unclasp
From the rapturous kiss.
You kissed me ! My heart,
And my breath and my will
In delirious JOY
For moment stood still.
Life had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No visions Of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were I this instant
An angel possessed
Of the peace and the JOY
That are given the blest,
I would fling my white robes
Unrepiningly down,
would tear from my forehead
Its beautiful crown
To nestle once more
In that haven of rest
Your lips upon mine.
My head on your breast.
You kissed me +. My soul
In q bliss so divine
Reeled like drunken man
Foolish with wine;
And I thought 'twere delicious
To die there, if death
Would but come while my lips
Were yet moist with your breath !;
If might grow cold
While your arms clasped me round
In their passionate fold
And these are the questions
ask day and night
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite delight?
Would YOU care if your breast
We're my shelter as then,
And if You were here
Would you kiss me again:

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-In wheat good business

There was a rather heavy liquidation of Decem-

weak, and prices declined sc for December
and &c for May, ruled quiet later on in the
session, and closed sc lower for December and
| 12c lower for May than the closing figures Of
yesterday. For the week export clearings ag-
| gregated 215,000 packages of flour and $40 900
| DuSnelS OF wheat, OelnS nearly lUJ.OUU packages
| less of -four and 25. 90 bushels less Of wheat
than last week. In corn but little interest was
| manifested. The fluctuations were confined to
1sGa &C range. Oats we're weaker. with fair
| volume of trading ia May, and as offerings were
free, prices declined sc. May declined 14c on
selling by two large traders but reacted 1s04c
on buying by heavy operators and the market
J closed steady. In mess pork trading was fairly
active, and the feeling was easier, prices ruled
| 100 Z, &C lower, and the market closed steady
Lard was unsettled and weak feeling pre-
vailed, and prices ruled zaL10c lower, due
chiefly to a decline in the New York market.
Comparatively light trading in short ribs was re-
ported, and particular changes were re-
ported prices rather favored buyers.

A Female samson.


MedfOrd Mercury.
Mary Martin, a young woman who
was sent to the Kings county peni,
teuliary, has been transferred to the
hospital at Flatbush, where the doe.
tors will endesvor to find out the
source from which she has derived a
remarkable power, says the New
York correspondent Of the Courier
Journal. She Is timld and extremely
sensitive, but possesses the strength
Of a Samson. She is only four feet
six inches in height, small ltmbed, and
has the hands Of child of ten years.
When arrested in Brooklyn she had
torn up lamp post in the street, and
it required five officers to arrest her,
She was locked up in an iron coll, aud
An hour later surprised the desk ser
geant by appearing before him, hav-
rug bent the door bars and oTawled
out. AT the prison she was given the
strongest cell, but few hours later
was found airing herself in the prison
yard. Mary had snapped the bars of
her cell door as if they had been
sticks of scaling wax. Warden Hayes
gave orders for the confinement of
the female Samson in one of the
strongest cells in tho women's prison,
Mary quietly submitted to her trans
fer, aud the following merning the
discovery was made that she had
again escaped, She was carried TO an
ohtor cell, and a special guard placed
over her. The girl escaped from the
cell by using her fingers as a wrench
for the purpose of removing the nuts
from the ends of the lock bolts, after
ward taking off the lock, She
wouldn't remain locked up, so Judge
Moore remitted her fine and she was
discharged, to be again arrested and
taken to the hospital. Mary can not
account for her remarkable strength.

A Wonderful sGe0mbOnt HnVem-
GkOm.

CHICAGO, October "a dispatch
from Dubuque says: The steamer
Silver Crescent made her trial trip
yesterday with new feathering
wheel at the stern. The trial was en-
tireIy successful. With only l4s
pounds of steam pressure the boat made
eighteen miles an hour against the
current, the wheel revolving only
twenty,lhree times a minute. Instead
of sixteen paddles or buckets usually
on river steamers, this wheel has only
ten. By an ingenious system of cog
wheel gearing this paddle always
strikes the water vertically and passes
through it horizontally, leaving it
again in a vertical position. The old
wheels with stationary paddles enter
the water with the buckets at an angle
of forty five degrees, striking the
surface with a force that jars the
whole boat. With the new wheel
there was no perceptibIe jar when the
boat was running, The paddles on
the old wheels also leave the water at
an angle, carrying u great deal of
water up with them, with the new
wheel there is none. 1t is estimated
that the new wheel will save onethird
Vi the total power that is now necessary
to run a boat.

The Spectator.
The divorce law passed IN France
IN 1884 srems to be operating with
terrible effect. In 1884 there were
1861 divorces I; in 1885, 4l23; in
1886, 4o07, in 1887, 5,797, But the
most astounding statement made is
that in the department Of the Seine
!. e, Paris and its nelghborhooa-
there are no fewer than 02.8 divorces
to every thousand marriages, or that
considerably more than one in twenty
marriages (say one in sixleenl ends in
"a divorce. On the other hand, IN the
Finstere and the Cotes ia Rord not
much more than one in thousand
marriages ends 10 adiYorce--a curious
testimony tins 70 the different morale
of Partisan and provincial life IN
France.
