WHY KISSED YOU.

Why did kiss you? Oh, nonsense!

With nothing out lace on your shoulders,
And your throat and your arms all barrel
And, now, ask me why I kissed you'll

Why did kiss you? Confound It'll

To make me tell all my reasons

oh, of course knew you were married.
There was not much chance to forget
So, perhaps, that is why did it,
And yet-and yet-and yet
think that the reason 1 kissed you
Was because you were standing so near,
While YOUR eyes. thro' the star-lit darkness,
Were shining so tender and clear;
Your hand, when | tenderly clasped it,
Half answered, then trembled with fright
Do you understand, now, why kissed you,
Out there in the darkness last night?
Well-this, then, was why kissed you;
Your throat and your arms were like snow,
Your breath was like wine, and your gIances
We're dangerous, tender and slow;
Your lips. like shell that is scarlet,
Were softly uncurled, just for this;
That man should lose conscience and rea.
son
And honor, and all-for one kissi
So, all in moment clasped you,
And held you, and kissed you with love,
And only the flowers knew 1t,
And God and the angels above;
So this, dear, is why clasped you,
And held you. and kissed you-with pain;
Because knew never, no, never,
Would you and kiss-agaln.

FAMILIAR WITH THE DEITY
Strange Claims and Queer Ways
of Religious Fanatic.

New Haven Palladium.
Thomas Thomas has recently caused
much trouble in the Howard Avenue
Methodist church. Mr.. Thomas is a
strange man. entertaining strange views
and having strange ways. He is said to
be very ignorant, but claims to have re-
markable familiarity with the Deity,
and to be inspired by him in all he does
and says. He needs no advice from men,
as he receives all knowledge di-
rect from God. and all who OPP
pose him oppose God. He says his is a
saint, prophet. an apostle equal to st.
Paul; claims to be anOinted of God to
preach the pure gospel to this people,
who never get it from the regular min
listers: is one of the saints who rose with
Christ, and who was an eyewitness of
the resurrection of Jesus, and much
more of the same sort. He once paid
toward the support of the church, but
for the past few years says it is so cor
rupt that the Lord tells him TO give
nothing, and the sooner it goes down
the better
sit is absurd to claim that the pres
ent trouble is personal between him
and the pastor. The late Elder Wardell
declared he should be silenced, if he
had to be arrested as nuisance. Some
times he will scream suddenly, so as to
frighten people out of the church, and,
when crossed, seems to get very angry,
and yells so as to turn the meeting into
bedlam. This, he claims, is the spirit
of God resisting the devil in those who

THE OFFICES WANTED.

Stories sent out from Washington
with more OF less official encourage
ment, to the effect that Democrats in
good Offices are all anxious to resign at
once, are no doubt hopefully diffused to
breed an epidemic of that sort. The
offices are wanted, and in view of the
professions put forth, it is embarrassing
to have to call for the vacancies re-
quired. Constant shouting may induce
hoarseness. There is no improperly in
Democrats serving out terms if they
care to, just as the Republicans did be-
fore them. If they should all resign at
once, the public interests would suffer.
Those in the classified civil service
have no occasion to step out unless they
long for private life. Their resignation
would afford presumption that they
lacked sympathy with the reformed
methods. The symptoms of stampede
among them, however, are not alarm

The truth of the following comical

Confederate lines, and two or three of
them who had gone out to forage came
to a cabin III the woods, and, after care

low noise, like that produced by the
footsteps of man, was heard Inside.
No sooner did the men hear this than
they turned their horses heads and
galloped off to their command, where
great excitement at once ensued.
1t was necessary to act with caution.
MOsby'S desperate courage was well
known, and he would make all the
stouter resistance because he was sure
to be hanged to the first tree if he was
captured as "buShwhacker" and an
outlaw. Elaborate preparations were
made, the cabin surrounded. and the
door suddenly burst open. Men rushed
in with cooked pistols. But no rebel
was to be found.
"Where is Mosby?" Numbered the
officer.

reply of the woman.
