"I'll Never, No Never, No Never
FOrsake.0
BY MINNIE A. RIPLEY.

The summers bright sunshine gilds warmly TODAY
low'roofed white cottage that stands by the way.
Its dazzling rays CLEAN Oh the mothers bleacbed
hair,
Who rocks to and fro In her old.fashioned chair.
Her pale, patient face in the doorway see
And this sacred fragment is waited to me
In quayering treble that makes the heart ache
" I'll never, no never, no never forsake."
The pictures that Time paints, how swiftly they pass
She looks, It's herself, as guileess young lass,
And next staid matron, o now in old age
What holy reflections her moments engage
While on the green hillside graves stand in a row.
or husband and children, In death lying low;
Her chaste lips have parted the silence to break,
IN never, no never, no never forsake."
Through years that were toilsome and days that
were glad,
Through moments of suffering, some bitter and sad,
The Good Shepherd kindly the pilgrim has led
And blessings unnumbered around her were shed;
The western sky Pushes, its glories unfold,
And CLEAN like path to the gates that are gold:
She gazes! her silvery tones melody make,
"l'll never, no never, no never forsake."

Riot at n Funeral.

The funeral of Mrs. Hogg, whose
mysterious murder has so excited the
people of the London suburb Hamp-
Stead, took place Sunday, and, as was
expected, the occasion was taken
advantage Of by the populace
for a demonstration against the
dead womans husband, who is
suspected of having, in collision with
his mistress, caused her death. Had
not al extra force of police been or
dered on duty violence would certainly
have been done to Hogg. The carriage
in which he rode was attacked by the
angry mob, but the police charged upon
the rioters and dispersed them.
Mrs. Nellie Crichton-Piercey, the
paramount of Hogg, the London porter
whose wife's dead body was found of
South Hampstead, London, ten days ago,
has confessed that she was guilty of the
murder. She invited Mrs Hogg to her
house that day. 4 quarrel soon arose,
Mrs. Hogg complaining of her husband
visits to Mrs. Piercey and intimsting
that their relations were not entirely
correct.
The quarrel finally became so violent
that Mrs. Piercey seized poker and
struck her on the head, rendering hel
insensible. Afterward she cut hel
victims throat. Then she packed the
body into a perambulator and wheeled
it to the spot where it was afterward dis
covered. Having thus rid herself OF one
object Of suspicion, she was obliged &c
dispose of Mrs. Hogg's child, and she
herself carried it to r'inchley, where il
was found dead from hunger and ex
pOsure.

The Conductor Thought SO After Ho Had

1t is a custom on some street railways
TO give annual passes which are number

shown each time man rides on the cars
of that line, but each one bears num-
Der. and when asked for his fare the
holder of the pass calls the number OF
his pass, says the Seattle Press.
Not long ago the holder Of pass No. %

accompanied by two ladies, for whom he
must, OF course pay fare. 1t happened
that the conductor was new man and
not acquainted with the pass system.
The conductor entered the car III quest
of fares. and the first person he APP
preached was the holder of the pass.
The gentleman handed him dollar to
take the ladies' fare from, at the same
time remarking distinctly "Thirteen. "

An Extraordinary Story Told in Docu-
ment Filed in 1t. Louis.
A very extraordinary case has been
made known in st. Louis by the filing OF
an application for n change OF name by
"Miss Theresa Blennerhassett, mem
Der of the well-known family OF that
name. The petitioner is the daughter
of Richard $. Blennerhassett, son
of John Louis Blennerhassett, Young
est son OF the Blennerhassett OF
the Burr conspiracy fame. She states
in her petition that on Octo-
Der 10. 1871, she was married to John
CALVIN Adams at Odin, ILL.,, and lived
with him until November, 1871, but that
nc the instance of her family she kept
her marriage a secret. Her husband was
killed on the latter date, and still mt the
solicitation Of her family she continued
TO be known as Miss Theresa Blenner'
hassett. The petitioner says she has &C.
auired property since her husband $
death. the title to which is being inyesh-
pated in her maiden name OF Theresa
Blennerhassett. Wherefore she prays
the Court to establish her legal name as
Theresa Blennerhassett Adams.
The story back OF the petition is rather
romantic. Theresa Blennerhassett, IN
spite of the bitter opposition OF her rela-
ives. clandestinely married Adams, who
was traveller for st. Louis business
house. Together they went on
living trip TO the East. She
returned to her home on ac-
count of the sudden illness of her mother,
and arranged with her husband
TO follow her in three weeks. He started
TO do so. but was killed on his way in a
railroad accident. The world was IN ig-
norance of her clandestine marriage, and
was left SO even after the birth of the
child. This event was also kept a
secret. and Theresa Blennerhassctt
in due time announced that she
had adopted little girl. bier
child has grown mp in ignorance oil her
true relation to her foster mother,
and is now beautiful girl OF eighteen.
The present proceeding, which lays bare
the secret, IS brought as much to protect
the girl and TO insure her unclouded
title as because of the mothers desire to
have her legal status defined. There's
Blennerhassett is now about fifty years
old, and had always been looked upon as
an old maid.
