San Francisco Argonaut.
That an aged lady, widowed and worth a
great many million dollars. should, with
the abandon Of girl Of 10, throw herself
and her mountain OF wealth into the
arms Of an artless paper hanger, young
enough to be her grandson, was an incl
dent sufficiently remarkable to make Mrs
Mark Hopkins figure Of national in
terest. II was easy enough for many to
understand why the poor but honest
paper hanger should sacrifice his youth
and beauty upon the altar OF his interest,
but why woman who has long past the
age when ladies are supposed to be sub
jeot to vsgsries and tornents due to the
tender passion should have done what
she did was not apparent. Mrs. Hop
kins friends, disposed to be charitable ia
the midst Of their bewilderment as
sumed that she must DO daft. Mr..
Searles, in possession OF bis ancient
bride and her vast fortune, Just sat
down, figured things out like the aetuary
OF life insurance company and waited
for the inevitable TO happen.

BEAUTIFUL SOUTHLAND.

I love thy peaceful dales and lofty mountains,
Thy lovely glades and wales and sparkling foun-
tains,
Thy forests grand and every crystal stream.
Thy charming dells where poets swe.tly dream;
Thy fertile valleys, thy cool and shady hills,
Thy limpid lakes, thy rivers and tiny rills,
love thy beetlng crags that tower up on high
Where eagles grandly nest beneath the summer
sky.
There is no spot upon thy sacred sod
do not love as angels love their Col.
Toy very name thrills me;
Thy very name fills me
With emotions as sweet
As the honey that turks in the flowers;
And my thoughts of to-day are as fleet
As wings of humming birds seeking thy bow
ers.
Oh, beautiful southland, home Of my youth,
will love thee as long as angels love truth.
Oh, beautiful southland, sweet is thy theme,
That enraptures my soul as l lovingly dream.
Oh, beautiful southland, the home of the free,
Ny spirit in dreams ever flies unto thee.
Oh beautiful southland, tits sweet uLto me
To know that crown is waiting for the
crown of rare beauty, with silvery sheen,
To place on thy brow and make the queen.
Oh, beautiful southland, pride Of my life.
By the blessing of God you are free from ali
strife,
You shall fly as bird flies, swiftly to fame;
The world shall pay homage and honor thy
meme.
