Among the male population was George
Gibbons, an uncle of Charlotte, veritable
Apollo, whose magnificent figure lowered a
head above his fellows, he being feet Z
inches tall and of Herculean frame.
That Gibbons loved Charlotte was a
recognized fact, that the love was more than
that of kindred fondneSs was never for IL
moment suspected.
The people OF the camp, from the old men
and elderly women down to the prattling
children, were happy and cUDtented up to
an eatly hour in the morning, when sound
OF wailing was heard from the quarters of
Charlotta's parents. The beautiful queen
mad left her couch and disappeared. Every
adult member of the camp was aroused and
the camp surroundings carefully searched.
At daylight it was found that the uncle had
also disappeared, and CONSERVATION was
added to the alarm. Word was quickly con
veyed to the police and description OF the
couple telegraphed to various parts of the
country.
That the couple had eloped by quietly
stealing away was the only conclusion ar

THE NEWsBOY's LATEST.

His Pitiful Appeal to the Sympathy of
Benevolent Old Gentlemen.
In point of general witness Bret Harte's
Heather Chnee is very bad second TO the

which this young gentleman is constantly
devising for the betterment of his purse are
generally dark and rarely vain, says the
New \ Ork Commercial.
This is the latest 1t is played by youth
full bandit who frequent5 the neighborhood
Of the Standard TheatPr, and he usually
operates upon the guileleSs throng that
promenades Broadway in the latter part
OF the afternoon.
Taking his stand upon some convenient
corner. in tul view of the. procession, he
will put his bundle of papers under one
arm and fish Erlmy envelope out of one of
his mysterious pockets. For thee or four
inmates he will puzzle over the ragged
sheet OF paper which he produces there
from.
His expression is one of intense misery,
and while one eye scans the paper the other
keeps sharp lookout for benevolent old
men and Inexperienced middle-aged ladies.
When one Is sighted the bandit bears down
upon his victim and tea fully requests him
or her to read him ''wot is writ on the pa
per, cause he can't spell it out" Then he
adds ingeniousiy that Jimmy Kelley
brought it downtown from the bandits
domicile at the request of the bandits big
sister. This is the legged the paper bears:
Tommy cum hoam yure mother is orful
sick cum rite away Mary"
Upon hearing it the bandit begins to weep
he hasn't sold PAPER aud hasn't his car
fare. Benevolent old rarity joins him in a
tear, calls him dutiful son and presents
him with a dime.

With your eyes so clear and sunny
And your curis Of golden hair.
Let me hear your merry voices,
Asyou laugh and shout with gee;
or all music that doth cheer us,
This the sweetest is to me.
Let me clasp you to my BOSOM
Let me kiss your rosy lips,
And feel upon my weary brow
The magic Of your finger tips
Oh, fair darlines! gather closely
Round my armchair gently cling;
Welcome are you all as sunbeams,
As the songbirds in the spring.
Scattering sunshine all around you
Brighten for us life's dark days.
And dispel the coming shadows
With your merry, wnsome ways.
Would that could shield you ever
From all winds that rudely blow,
From the storms that sometimes gather,
And life's chilling rost and snow.
Oft pray, Oh, dlmpled darIings!
As you lift TO me your eyes.
With those glauces sweet and tender,
Which my heart does fondly prize.
That your skies may be unclouded-
That upon each precious head
The smiles OF heaven may ever rest,
And over al your lives be shed.
May that wondrous power above US.
