For the Register
Enigma.

'Tis heard in the wall of the wintry wind,
And blinks in the ice when to skating you're
inclined:
1t is found amidst Iceland's frozen cline,
And covers the window with frosted rime.
Yet comes with the nightingales warbled
trills,
And touches with beauty the distant hills,
And adorns the fields where the daisies
abound
For in winter and spring it alike may be
found;
With silver and iron It's dug from the mine,
Yet comes from Madeira with each pipe of
wine;
1t flows in the river, finds home in the firth.
'Tis ours in life, for it comes with our birth.
And brightens the smile of each innocent
child
1t belongs to the maid. the widow, the wife !;
But, alas 1t delights In contention and strife;
Yet bishops and priests, and friars grey,
And soldiers and sailors alike own its sway.
Its form is upright, for It's straight as lance,
And midst its compeers can he seen ut u
glance.
1t belongs to myself, for Its mine declare
But still must be mentioned with prudence
and care.
Used too oft, tits sign of poor empty minc;
To its name now trust you are no longer
blind

From the Sedalia (Mo.) Gazette. ]
A Tribute to the Dead.

In memory of Mrs. NJ. +. Beal and Mrs. j..
G. Ruckle, mother and daughter. formerly of
Jefferson county, w. Va, whose deaths were
chronicled in the Sedalia papers. Mrs. Beall's
demise occurred on December Is, and Mrs.
Ruck lie s on March 90, 1889.
This little tribute is a task OF love to one
who knew them. The memory of such char
acters should be enshrined in our hearts.
Mrs. NJ. E. Beall was member ofthe Episco-
pal Church for almost half a century, filling
faithfully and conscientiously every position
in life of almost three score years and ten,
and now has gone to her reward. She pos
sessed not only lovely Christian character,
but a fine intellect and rare onveisational
powers. But the voice we loved so well is
still; the hand that was ever ready TO do
good is cold, and we see her no more. Not
dead, but sleepeth.
There is no death the stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore,
And bright in heavens jeweled crown
They shine forevermore.
Aud ever near us, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread,
For all the boundess universe
IL life-there are no dead.
Mrs. j. G. Ruckle, so well known and loved
by all who knew her, although an invalid for
many years, has made by her death a vacan-
cy that can never be filed. She chung to life
with almost marvellous tenacity, not that she
feared death, but was 10th to leave the loved
ones at home. She was the light and guiding
spirit of the household, and truly she was
blessed with a devoted family-a husband
that never wearied in his care for her; chit
dren that loved to honor her. She possessed
all the noble attributes of mind and heart
that 90 to make up a beautiful Christian
characteristic loving wife, the devoted moth
er, the true friend, has passed to the other
shore; she has finished the work He gave
her to do; the mortal has put on the immor-
tai and now hers isanother home-not made
with hands; eternal in the heavens.
Dearest loV"d one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
TIL we see thy heavenly face.
Yet again we know ell meet thee
When the day of life is fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet thee.
Where no farewell tears are she'd
A FRIEND.

In making the arrest of woman
named Fredericks Eppiger, on the
charge of boarding infants without
a license from the board of health, q
queer monstrosity was discovered by
the officers of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children in New
York on Tuesday. 1t was child
strangely malformed into u horrible
resemblance to a fish. Its head recedes
from the eyes backward, and pro-
truding mouth is kept constantly in
motion as the child breathes in short
gasps. There is the mixed appear
ance of fish's and a child's head all
in one. The arms are connected to
the sides by thin membrane, and
have the appearance of fins. The
legs are bound together by a similar
ligature, and the feet turn outward.
1t is said that the mother of the mon
strosity was servant and the father
her employer, and that the girl is now
suing the latter in the courts. The
mother, it is said, received fright in
a dime museum, which caused the
malformation.

The Remarkable Cures

Which have been effected by Hoods Sarsa-
parilla are sufficient proof that this medicine
does possess peculiar curative power. In the
severest cases of scrofula or salt rheum, when
other preparations had been powerless, the
use of Hoods Sarsaparilla has brought about
the happiest results. The case of Miss Sarah
&. Whittier, of Lowell, Mass, who suffered
terribly from scrofulous sores; that OF Chas.
A. Roberts of East Wilson, \. Y, who had
thirteen assesses on his face and neck: that
OF Willie Duff, of Walpole, Mass, who mad hip
disease and scrofula so bad that physicians
said he could not recover, are n few Of the
many instances in which wonderful cures
were effected by this medicine.

THE Board of Regents of the West
Virginia University passed resolu-
ton last Tuesday to throw open the
doors of the school to women as well
as men, and the advocates of co-educa-
ton have gained the victory for
which they have been fighting many
wears. We believe it is mistake to
introduce the co educational system
into our State University. There are
four good normal schools in the State
where females can have all the educa-
tional advantages they desire, and it
seems to us that these are enough.
Of course it is very good move so
far sMorganstown aloneis concerned,
but we fail to see any benefit to the
State at large.

THE Bourne Mills Company of Fall
River, Massachusetts,, is an extremely
philanthropic corporation. 1t always
takes a great interest Units employees
and now it proposes to share profits
with them. 1t grandiloquently an
nounces that the operatives are to
have 6 per cent of the dividend to the
stockholders-which, sifted down,
means that thirty-six one-hundredths
of one per cent of the capital will be
divided among them. Just think of

The circular of Messrs. John A.
Hambleton Il Co., the Baltimore
bankers, issued last Friday, thus re
views the destruction of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio canal as a waterway
by the flood: There is only one of
two things that can be done with the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal. Either
the State of Maryland must assume
its liabilities and make it free water
way, as did the State of New York, or
the canal must be sold for. the
purpose of constructing railroad
upon its corpus. 1t is not likely that
the State will assume the liabilities of
the canal and make it free water
way, so that it is more than probable
that the canal will be sold to rail
road company, which will construct a
railroad from the coal fields to tide
water. The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad would no doubt like to get
possession of the canal and use it to
shorten its route or to prevent any
competing road from usingit. There
are other competitors who would be
willing to buy the canal, which
would be very valuable to any rail
road company. The State of Mary
land has put millions into it, but the
expenditure, although unproductive,
served the purpose intended and
benefited the State and people. At
the last session of our Legislature a
movement was inaugurated to lease
a part of the canal Cumberland to
WilliamsporD to the Western Mary
land Railroad, which strikes the canal
at Williamsport. The movement
failed, much to the regret of the
people of Baltimore. The Legislature
will be in session next winter, and no
doubt some disposition will be made
of the canal and the $4,000 repair
bonds be provided for by payment, or
some satisfactory guarantee from any
purchaser or lessee of the canal. If
the canal is sold outright it would
bring enough to cover the $500, 900
repair bonds, and, probably, in addi-
ton enough to pay something tothe
holders of the 81, 1000 old non-mor-
tgage bonds and dividend to the
State. The canal ought to bring at
least S1,000,000.n
