Sincerity.
All, yesl we were speaking Of flirting;
Twas wrong, recall, you declared,
But held the other opinion
Would have said so had but dared.
You said a Irritation to some
Must surely bring infinite pain;
That whenever two hearts went playing
One heart must be hurt of the twain.
ventured that. both understanding.
Twas only pleasing pastime.
You ayerred that, while might think so,
To You love was something sublime.
Far too grand 20 be made plaything,
Too sacred for false masquerade,
And smiled at you there in earnest
Such sweet, sincere little maid.
Twas yesteryear, down at the seaside,
| thought as we talked on the sand
That time. with its changes so bitter,
Would alter her fancy so grand.
1t is strange that Il year could so change
The girl whom met by the sea-
Last night when made my ayowal
She said she'd been flirting with me.

Remember.

Remember me when am gone away.
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand.
Nor half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned;
Only remember me; you understand
1t will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet IL you should forget me for awhile
And afterward remember, do not grieve;
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige OF the thoughts that once had.
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Young and Old.

When all the world is young, Lad.
When all the trees are green:
And every goose swan, lad,
And every lass queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And around the world away:
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad,
And all the trees are brown:
And all the sport is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and MANNED among:
God grant you find one face there
You loved when all was young.

leg Of mutton possesses strikingly .'the

some puzzled housewife, to whom its eeon-
omical yet appetizing disposition is sub
ject of anxious thought. we may narrate
the successive reappearances Of such a
piece of meat upon certain table. Its
debut was in the usual form of boiled
mutton. of which the proper aceompani-
ment is caper sauce; the recipes for this
are various, but the following may be
found useful:

The eneampment at Inwood Park
could not have been called at more
appropriate time, and the fact that the
beet sugar question is to be discussed
ought to be thoroughly advertised
throughout Berkeley county. Every
farmer ought to be advised fully and
accurately just what benefit the loca-
ton Of a beet sugar refinery in this vi
entity will be to him. The citizens of
Martinsburg are awakening to realiz-
ing sense that immediate stepsmust be
taken toward securing this very inn
portant enterprise and we understand
that a number Of men stanaready to
contribute literally towards makingup
the $50, 900 required. What is needed
now is hearty cooperation on the
part Of the farmers and some assurance
from them that they will cultivate the
$500 acres Of beets needed to supply
the refinery.

All Through Pennsylvania. and in the
Night Hours. the G. A. r. Posts and
the People Stood In the Rain
With Uncovered Heads.

Dispatches from numerous places along
the route taken by the funeral train which
conveyed the body of General Sherman from
New York to st. Louis, all show forth q
panorama of patriotism not to be checked
blythe hours Of night or by q cold and heavy
rain.
At all points along the route the people
crowded the stations, Grand Army posts were
drawn up in line next the train; the people
crowding together behind them.
The rain was incessant during the night
through Pennsylvania, and until Pittsburg
was reached; but the patriotic respect was
no less in the night time and in the rain than
during the following day
At Mansfield, Pa, there was a delay of .
few minutes, caused by the engine running
into an open switch. The train was running
slowly, so that no damage was done and the
engine was pulled back on its track by an
other one. The train lost only five minutes.
A wait of forty minutes was given the fune-
raj train at Columbus, Ohio, during which
there was q crowd of about 10000 people
who gathered in the vicinity. the majority OF
whom only secured a glance of the train at q
distance, owing TO the blockade. The train
pulled out on time at 3:15 p IN.
Through Ohio and Indiana, where stops
were made, the G. A. r. members we're al
lowed to enter the funeral car and look upon
the casket.

Live Stock Cenana

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The estimates of the
numbers and values of farm animals, made
at the end Ct each yea= and returnable on
January 1 to the department of agriculture,
have been consolidated. There appears to
have been little change in numbers, except
on the Pacific coast and in certain portions
of the Rocky mountain area, where the win
ter of 1880 was unusually severe. Losses
were especially heavy on the Pacific slope.
The number of mich COWS is 16,0l9, 59l, an
increase of $751; from last year. Other
cattle aggregate So, S75, 64S, including those
on ranches.
The estimated number of sheep are 49,
431, 136. A tendency to increase of numbers
is seen IN most of the states, though the
heavy losses from the severe winter of last
year on the Pacific slope have decreased the
aggregate. The aggregate number of swine
is so. 625, los. showing a decrease of nearly
per cent. The average value is SAILS, de-
crease of 81 cents per head.

Astor the Third. Married.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February 19.-Seventy
millions of wealth of the metropolis and one
of the fairest maidens of the Quaker city
were joined together when Ava Willing be-
came the bride of john Jncob Astor, the
third
The wedding took place at the residence
of the parents of the bride, 5l1 South Broad
street, the officiating minister being the Rev.
DR.. Nelson McVicar, rector of the Episcopal
Church of the Holy Trinity of this city. One
hundred and fifty guests, comprising the i'm
mediate relatives of both families witnessed
the exchange of vows.
The couple stood beneath a massive laurel
bell while the words were spoken that made
them man and wife, and Immediately after
wards the wedding breakfast was served.
The bridal table was set in the dining room;
covers were LAID for eighteen, the decorations
being white hlacs and bride roses. Mr.. and
Mrs. William Astor, Mr.. and Mrs. Willing
the bridesmaids and ushers, with the bride
and groom were served at this table, while
the remainder of the guests were served at
smaller tables, covers being laId at each for
six.
The bride comes from an old Philadelphia
family of honorable lineage, but which, al
though IN comfortable circumstances, is not
noted for its great wealth. She is said to
have as many friends among the women as
among the men. She has always been a
social fa~orite and has had admiration and
auulation enough to turn the head of almost
any young woman.
She comes of family of handsome women
and has dark brown hair, large eyes,
straight nose, perfect teeth, and mouth of
great sweetness of expression.
The groom is "a years old; six feet two in
height.

The Ecyptfan War.

LONDON, February 25.-The credit of the
decisive victory over the dervishes at Tokar
belongs largely to an officer heretofore COM
paratlvely unheard of in military affairs,
Colonel Holled Smith, governor general of
the Red sea, literal for the khedive of Egypt.
Colonel Smith has had from the first the
direction of the campaign which is aimed at
clearing a road to the Soudan for the re-
sumption of trade with that region, may,
perhaps, be extended, should Great Britain
decide to sustain the movement, to the con-
quest of the Soudan. The defeat of Osman
Digma delivers upper Egypt from the
power of the dervishes. and all accounts
from the interior indicate that there is no
concert of movement among the tribes that
formerly united in supporting the mahdi and
his successor. The khedive Is said to be
strongly bent upon extending his empire to
its former limits in equitorial Africa, and
the victory at Tokar will greatly encourage
him in the intention, in which he has the
hearty sympathy of his talented queen,
Emineh.

Failure of John ID. Knox & Co.

TOPEKA, ham, February 20.-The John D.
Knox & Co. Investment Banking house has
assigned, Hon ]. B. McAfee being named as
assignee.
The liabilities are roughly estimated at
S250,O00. The schedule of liabilities has not
yet been made up, but will be completed and
filed in the district clerks office.
Among the items of liabilities are the fol-
lowing:
Savings department deposits, demand GER
tifcates of deposit and open accounts, 5000
Time interest bearing certificates of de-
post, principally held by eastern parties,
$4,000.
Deposits for investment made by eastern
parties, $4,000.
Inc remainder of the liabilities are dis
counts with other banks GALL of which are Sc
cured with good collaterals) $4,000 unpaid
interest coupons, etc.
The total amount due Topeka creditors is
comparatively small, it is stated, not reach
ing $4,000.
The assets are principally lands, equities.
unpaid coupons, bills discounted, tax sale
certificates, etc. The total value of the as
sets cannot definitely be determined, but
Mr.. Knox claims that at a fair estimation
the assets aggregate $4,000.
MIR. and Mrs. Knox have turned over to
the assignee all property of every description
except their homestead in the western part
of the city, which is by law exempt. He
states that for the present be will not turn
that in, believing that the other assets will
pay the liabilities, but saws that it will be
turned over in the end if necessary.
Mr.. knox's failure is the result of over
reaching himself in acquiring land that there
is no demand or sale for. Much of the land
has deprecated in value.

Havoc by Water a. Phoenix.

TOMBSTONE, AR1z., February pa little
south of Phoenix the river left the channel
and overhowed a number of farms, cutting
out the railroad track. Many farm build
ings built of ado be crumbled away. Frame
structures foated of. The northern edge of
the food, which is about a mile wide and
three feet deep, entered the city of Phoenix,
flooding out many poor families.
The territorial insane asylum had a mar
row escape, the water being banked Oh. The
electrical works were flooded and the town
left in darkness. About 100 adobe houses
fell in as soon as the water soaked them and
large amount of personal property was thus
lost. Measures for the relief of the needy
have been taken.
The loss is not less than 1926, 900, of which
one-third falls to the railroad company.
About five miles of track were washed out
and bridge destroyed.
