THE DEMON OF THE eIBBET.

There wRs no west, there was no cast
No star abroad for eye to see;
And Norman spurred his faded beast
Hard by the terrible gallows tree.
20 Norman, haste across this waste,
For something seems to follow met"
Cheer up, dear Maud, for, thanked be God,
We nigh have passed the gallows treer'
BE kissed her LIP, then spur and whip,
And fast they fed across the lea;
But vain the heel and rowel steel,
For something leaped from the ga1ows treel
"Give me your cioaI, your knIghtIy cloak.
That wrapped you oft beyond the sea;
Tho wind Is bold, my bones are old,
And l am cold on the gallows tree"
20 holy GodI o dearest Maud,
Quick, quick, some prayer, the best that bel
A bony hnnd my neck has Spawned,
Am tears my knightly cloak from mei'
give me your wine, the red, red wine,
That In the flask hangs by your knee;
Ten summers burst on me accurst,
And I'm athirst on the gaIlows tree"
ooh, Maud, my nfol my loving wifei
Have you no power 10 set US free3
My belt u~nclnsps, n demon grasps
And drags my wine flask from my kneer'
'Give me your bride, your bonny bride,
Tint left her nest with you to fee;
Oh, she hath flown to be my own,
ForI'm alone on the gallows tree"
''Cling closer, Maud, and trust In
Cling closei-Ah, heaven, she slips from mSr+-
kprnyer, a groan, md he alone
Rode on that night from the gaIlows tree.

Every mother knows how often little
ones get something in the eye. Take
hold of the lashes of the upper lid with
the left hand, and pressing the dull point
of q pencil against the middle of the lid,
turn it upward; then remove the sub
stance with a camel's hair brush or the
corner of a soft handkerchief. Particles
of lime often cause great pain if they get
into the eye, as any n who has ever
whitewashed a ceiling can testify. Apply
weak vinegar to neutralize the alkali and
remov the particle as directed.-Herald

Woman Suffrage.
10 Che Editor Of The Press:

To the Editor Of the Press.
There has already been sent to the legisla-
ture at Augusta document, signed by more
than 800 Portland women, protesting
against the extension Of the suffrage to wom-
en-. More petitions are to follow.
AS we look over the list of names we find
those of thoughtful, intelligent, large heart
ed women, whose home and outside charita-
BILE duties are so great that they remonstrate
against further burdens being laid on their
shoulders. Women who feel themselves
justified in saying:
"The work of complicated human society
must be divided. To US has fallen, as we
think naturally. our part of the care and the
toll Do not ask us. do not compel us I o as
sumo more. Unless can be showed stronger
reasons. than have already been given, for
changing the whole system Of society,
upon candid reflection, we do not find onr-
selves called upon to take up more work. II,
as we are sometimes told, the new order will
require no more labor, no more acouaintance
with the complications of politics, then can
we but say that the ballots of the majority Of
women will be thrown as carelessly and as
ignorantiy as Is that Of. perhaps, one-half of
the men.
II, on the other hand the ballot means, as
It certainly ought to mean, a Jar-sighted
knowledge of political economy, a keen ap-
preciation OF business matters, clear and
wise judgment Of trade and of commerce.
then must we plead that we are already too
much occupied, as class, with other equal
~ important matters, and we beg the men of
the land to uphold their half of the couptry's
WORK. ONE OF THE REMoNsTRANrs.

MR.. EvARTs' PREFERENCES.
Reported to Desire the Mission to
Great Britain

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2l-A Senator who has
just returned from New York says he had a
talk with ex-senator Warner Miller and
number Of the friends of that gentleman, and
also Of ex-senator Plat. Mr.. Miller does not
expect to be called into President Harrison's
Cabinet, and regrets exceedingly that there
has been an attack made upon Mr.. Platt in
connection with Cabinet speculation. The
Senator learned from the friends of the two
distinguished New Yorkers named that they
believe it is more than likely that President
Harrison will tender the English mission to
Senator Evarts, which will make vacancy
in the Senate, and which may be filled by
one of the ex-Senators, and that they Will be
given an opportunity to test their popularity
with the people through the Legislature.
