TRE MusMEE.

The Musmee has brown-velvet eyes.
Curtained with satin, sIeepily:
You wonder II those lies would rise
The newest, strange sight seel
Yet, when she chatters- laughs, or plays,
Koto, or ute, or saa.isen-
No jewel CLEANS with brighter rays
Than fash from those dark lashes, thea,
The Musmee has q small brown face
Muskmelon seed its perfect shape
Arehed, ietty eyebrows; nose 20 grace
The rosy mouth beneath: nape.
And neck and chin; and smooth soft cheeks,
Carved out of sunbtrned ivory;
With teeth. which when she smiles or speaks
Pearl merchants might come leagues TO see.
The Musmee's hair could teach the night
How TO grow dark. the ravens wing
How TO seem ebon; grand the sight
When In rich masses. Towering.
She builds each high black-marbie coil.
And binds the gold and scarlet in.
And thrusts. triumphant, through the toll.
The Ranzashi, her jeweled pin.
The Musmee has small. faultless feet
With snow-waite tabi trinity deeked.
Which paiter down the city street
in short steps. slow and circumspect;
A velvet string between her toes
Holds to it's place the unwilling shoe,
Pretty and pigeon like she goes,
And on her head a hood OF blue.
The Musmee wears a wondrous dress
Kimono obi. imogt-
A rosebush in Spring loveliness
Is not more color-glad to see!
Her girdle holds her silver pipe,
And heavy swing her long silk sleeves
With cakes love letters, mikans ripe,
Small change. musk box, and writing leaves.
The Musmee's heart is slow TO grief
And quick TO pleasure, love, and song;
The Musmee's pocket handkerchief
square OF paperl All day long
Gentle and sweet and debonair
Is-rich or poor this Asian lass
Heaven have herin its tender carel
o medeto gozarimas!

Mr.. EDIToR:-Possibly a few notes con-
corning 'JCne Meeting would be inter-
esting to some of your readers. The time
honored event comes to us the second Sab
bath in the month of June, hence last Sun
day, June 14th, the impartial wheel of
Time again rolled unto us the anniversary
OF the great colored jubilee. The attend
ance was large and order reigDed supreme
nothing to ma the saeredDess of the day
or disturb the peace of ths State. All vas
quiet until about five o'clock when the
cry of "a horse running away fell upon
my ears, and upon looking up beheld men,
women and children running in all direc-
tions to escape death from a bridleless and
terribly frightened horse harnessed to a
buggy and dashing through the grove at
a terrible speed. Finally the buggy was
dashed against a tree and completely de-
stroyed. A young lady who was in the
buggy at the time was thrown violently
to the ground and taken up for dead. The
services throughout the day were inter-
esting. Love feast was held in the morn
ing at seven o'clock, at which many peo-
pie from different parts of the country
met and renewed old friendship. Rev. j..
Broadway preached an interesting sermon
at II o'clock. The s~acramental sermon
was delivered at 8 o'clock by Rev. Daniel
Russell, Jr., of West Philadelphia, taking
for his text a part of the 30th verse of the
10Th chapter of st. John, st is finished. y.
Though born and raised in the humble
village known as Frogtown, Salem Co..
N. j., nevertheless Mr.. Russell is a man
endowed with the power of eioquence, and
his discourse was received with much en-
thusiasm. In the evening Rev. John
Nichols, President of Middle District,
preached an able and instructive sermon
to a large audience. B. W.

A suicidetn eioucester county.

In the mill pond at Turnerville, Glouces-
ter county, on Monday afternoon 15-year-
old Laura Macquiston drowned herself.
She jumped into the water because of some
childish pique, held her head down SO that
it would be covered, and though she was
rescued soon afterward, all efforts to
resuscitate her wera fruitless. The scene
of the suicide is part Of the same pond in
which Murder Joe Hillman cast the body
of ~Seidemann, the peddler.
When the body was first discovered, it is
said that neither the mouth nor n~ostrils
were under the water and this gave rise to
rumors that the girl had met with foul
play. Prosecutor Perry was informed, as
was also Coroner Franklin, of Woodbury.,
that the girl had been illy treated by a
farmer named Wilson, with whom she
lived, and the officials have been inyestigat-
ing these stories.
Coroner Franklin stated or Tuesday that
after thorough investigation he was con-
vinced that there were no evidences of foul
play, as no bruises were found on the body
and an examination by DR.. Hurf did not
reveal any evidences of an assault having
been committed, and a verdict of suicide
by drowning was rendered. The water
where the body was found was only a few
inches deep, and the evidence showed that
only about an hour had elapsed from the
time the girl left the house until her body
was discovered. It was also stated that
the girl had been subjected to Entertainment
by a stepmother, and it is supposed that
dependency led her to take her own life.
The body was taken to Philadelphia for
iDterment.
