Vhe the mournful task was done.
Slowly nd sadly turned me round
And sovgh. my silent room,
And there alone
By the cold hearthstone
1w coed the midnight gloom.
AND as the right winds deep ening shade
Lowered above by brow,
Iwept o'er days
When manhooa's rays
Were brighter far than now.
The dying embers on the hearth
Gave on their tiickering light,
AS if to say
This is the way
Thy life shg.ll close in night,

O'er tine blight of prospects fair,
While demons laughed
And eager quaffed
My tears like nectar rare.
Thro ugh hell's red hall an echoe rang,
An echo loud and long.
AS in the howl
plunged my soul
In the night of madness strong.
And there within that sparkling glass
knew the cause to lie,
This all men own,
From zone to zone;
Yet millions drink and die.

raid was determined on. Ia some
way the managers of the game received
a tip and prepared 10 give the Officers
hot reception. They filled the rear yard
and hallway with boxes, beer kegs and
other stuff Barbed wires were strany

become cntangled in them. A cellar
way was partially filed with sticks Il

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 5, 1892.

Too LATE.-Friday morning, about
nine o'clock, an old gentleman and two
half-grown boys, all three of whom had
the appearance of being just from the
country, rushed into the Union Depot
and inquired of Station Officer Kelly
if the morning train hadlef for Bristol.
The ever courteous Kelly politely
informed the old gentleman that
the train for the border city
had been gone about two
hours, having left at 7;25. The man S
Jaws fell and the boys looked at each
other and grinned. After some CONVEX
sation it was learned that the old gen
tleman was Mr. Abner Turner, of
Campbell county, and the boys were
his sons. They had conc to town in
great haste, hoping tointercept an eiop-
ing couple, one of whom was his young
est daughter, Miss Matilda Turner, who
had, as the old man expressed run oil
to marry that onery cuss Bill Pannll. .
But the young people had got ahead OF
the old man, who had arrived about
two hours late. The father and the
BOYS left the depot and came up town
to the Alliance warehouse, where they
were last seen, and ere this is read the
COUPLE will no doubt have been made
man and wife. Miss Turner is aged
eighteen years, and Mr.. Pannill is a
successful farmer of Appomattox
county.-Lynchburg IrgiRion.
