THE NATIONAL ELECTIONS LAW
 There are already indications that the
 proposed national elections law of this congress is to be a failure There is nothing in 1t, aside from it's supposed effect on the southern elections at the present time, to recommend it to any one, and the belief is general that it will not be operative in the south in any way except to increase the dislike of the southern people to the party that en- deavors to impose it upon them. This alone is enough to seal its fate, and we are inclined to think there will be found northern republican opposition to it in addition. Still, the fact remains that there are districts in the south in which fair elections are not held, and it is to be hoped that the southern people them selves will take steps to prevent any ex- cuse for proposing national election laws on the part of congress in the future. Ifthey are under no obligations to those who treat this state of things as so much electioneering capital, they may we'll remember the northern friends who stand by them against laws of the character of the one proposed.

Resigned.

AS0DA8A0Os There's not an hour of any day, Or day of any week, Or week of any passing month, But one dear name speak; Yet not with unavailing tears, As on that night of woe, When first from out my heaven of NtO It's star of hope did go. Now, day by day, tread the paths Of duty and of care; Smile with the friends who rovnd me smile And strive their joys to share; Whilst ever deep within my heart There lives Q ceaseless pain A tender longing for tho step That ne'er can come again. As sunlight dances OCT the waves Though wrecks lie dark beneath; And pale sweet flowers adoru the graves Where dear ones sleep in death; AS pitying Nature strives to hide The hurts she can not heal, So loving hearts, with gentle CT aft, Their mortal wounds conceal. An! said and dark were many homes But for the tender grace, With mich pale Resignation draws vail OCT Sorrow S face And whispers evermore this plea That at the last beguiles: The blessed dead need not your tears, Tho living need your smiles.

PRINCE BATrENBERG, who married the Princess Beatrice, daughter of Queen Victoria, some months since is in dis grace. Battenberg was very anxious for some years to marry wife who would pay his debts. and for that pur- pose put upon the list of a Paris matri- monial agency, whose business it was to find wealthy wives for poverty stricken princes. The man was thoroughly look ed over and rejected by several heiresses before he sought an alliance with Beat rice. After his marriage, the matrimo- nial agency blackmailed him without mercy, and when he refused to bleed any more, exposed his nuptial negota- tions to the Queen. Battenberg was at once banished, and it is thought that his banishment will be permanent.

 In Time: A Texas Idyl. the winding country roadway ran Rattled the wagon, Half full of wood the rattled husbandman He had 8 jag on. Tipping the island of the poplar grove,
 Green seas of clover Swept in a messy tide; the man who drove Was half seas over. Swaying on breeze kissed bough, Q bird of song Warbled his flute; And the lone man below who drove along
 Was on toot Leading his many horns pride filled with scorn, Believed the bull; And the gaunt ranchman, braced with many horn,
 He, too, was full. And so as smiling nature round him lay,
 Laughing the while; In perfect harmony with all that day,
 He took a smile. When evenings chill bade serpents seek then holes
 Mid rocks and roots, dO, of that crawling brood that fright mems souls,
