THE GARDENERS PROPOSAL

A wealth OF flowers before us
And flowers on either hand:
The dowery vines bend DER US
As here alone we stand.
With scent the air is laden;
But oh. that might call
One flower my own dear maiden,
The fairest flower of all.
Thou blushest-hues the fairest
Are on thy cheek displayed,
Like reddest rose and rarest
On snowy lilies laid
Like violets soft and tender
Those dark and lustrous eyes:
One glance, and surrender
Such magic in them lies
AL rank'd in order slightly
My dainty tulips grow;
Thy two lips shine more brightly
Than all the buds that blow
Be my petition granted.
Then in my garden green,
Dear maid, thou'it bloom transplanted.
OF all my flowers the queen,

WHITE CAPS AGAIN.
i Great Outrage Committed in Indiana
sfpcn 81 DcfenstIes, Woman.

ISDIAxAroLls, Oct. IA special from
Birds Eye, Ind, says: This country is
once more disgraccd by the work OLA mob,
which is doubly disgraccful in that it was
pcrpctra.ed upon defcnselcss woman,
Mrs Hartman, of rather loose character,
who lives at Mentor, one mic west Of here.
Last night she was visited by Il mob of
thirty men, who tied her to Il pest near
her house and applied fifty ashcs to her
bare body After performing their work
they called upon another @oman named
Mrs. Freeman, of like character, and
warned her 10 leave Tie place within
twenty-rour hours or lhov would treat
her TO the same dose. She Immediately
departed.
Then the White caps called upon Jacob
Sapcnticld and ordered him not TO visit
Mrs. Harmon and publish her to the
on penaitY OF twenty-five lash
cs. They said they had whipped The IIa.r-
mon woman because of her bad name.
When Sapcnfcld reached Tie hapess
woman he found her tied 10 a post naked
with The exception Of one Enlargement
which was turned over her head; Ter body
was torn from head TO foot, enc terrible
wound bleeding from every pore, while
across her abdomen WAS Il deep cash
twelve inches long and so deep as to leave
bowels exposed; scattered around were
great hickory Switches with which the
woman had been logged. No one knows
who composed the gang or from whence
they came, though nearly every citizen in
town saw them by The !iSh: Of he moon.
The community is cnraged that such an
unlawful Ching should have happened in
their midst. Mrs Harmon and her daugh
fer were whipped in Birds Eye two years
ago lust before they moved to Mentor.
