Winter.

Cold Winter shuts his prisoners in, And the bars are strong as steel: And to watchful. listening, ears within, Comes the thud of his iron heel. By night or day with victor's shout, And the battles thunderous roar, He renews the attack, and he puts to rout The advance that was gained before. When sun and sky rare beauty lent, And the white flag waved in air, He has proven still on mischief bent, And has broken each promise fair. Fen the summer brook ereeps silently, For the tyrant's heavy hand Is laid on water, earth, and sky, And he speaks but to command. A warrior and a conqueror too; In his long victorious reign He has given a plenty of work to do, But the pay proves a ball and chain.

TENNIS SENTENCED TO DEATH
Th Brutal Murder of Little Agnes Cooper

HARRISBURG. Oot. 6.-Banjann f. Ten
mis-. the Hummelstown stranger, who SO
brutally murdered pretty little Agnes
Cooper Wright on the morning of the 10th
of September, was sentenced yesterday to
be hanged
Tennis was dressed in n new dark suit,
wore dark blue shirt, and carried him
self generally with jauntier air than he
has heretofore exhibited. In fact, looking
at him one was impressed with the idea
that Tennis thought himself the hero OF
some important incident instead of the
central figure in a hanging match.
When he stood up Judge Mcpherson
said that, after considering the testimony,
the court had determined his crime guilty
OF murder In the first degree. Have you
anything to say" asked the court to the
stolid man in front of him, "why sentence
Of death should not be passed upon ,ouih
Nothing to say" said the prisoner la
conicnlly."
Amidst the greatest silence Judge -
Pherson passed the usual death sent IL ~
upon the prisoner. As he finished Wan
the words "be hanged by the neck uhru
you are dead" the prisoner raised hts ~
In an Indifferent way aud then sank fate
his cha:=.
Tennis was very much afraid he would
be mobbed, and repeatedly asked the
sheriff II there was crowd in the street.
He felt much relieved on getting back to
his cell
