In the Valley.

Today when the sun was lighting my house

The breast of a bird was ruffled as it perched
on my window sill.

breeZe-swept garden walk
And the dainty head

Was stirred on its slender stalk.

ana happy the biithe leaf chaser, rejoicing in
sunshine warm.
They take no thought for the morrow-tbey
know no cares today;
And the thousand things
That the future brings
Are blank TO such as they

ana a shadow the house enshrOuds;
And know must quit my mountain and 20
down to the vale below
For my house is chill
On the windy hill
When the autumn tempests blow
Ny mind is forever drawing an instructive
Twixt temporal things that perish and eter-

When bllIows and waves surround me ard

From the mountain top
To the sheltering vale below.

And find in its sweet seclusiOn gel tie solace
for all my care.
For that valley pure
With its shelter sure

POISONING AS A FINE ART.
Italians of OIden Days Took Life in Many
SkilIfuI Ways.

The art of poisoning in these DAYS is
not cultivated with Zest or skill. Even
in modern romantic and melodramatic
literature the poisoner works in what
the Boston J0urHai calls 4 crude
fashion; his one idea is to get the
poison into the stomach of the victim.
Detection is almost inevitable and
punishment follows. Italians of the
fifteenth, sixteenth and the first half of
the seventeGth century showed most
surprising skill Italian removers Of
enemies were welcome at many a
foreign court, for they were subtle.
sure and, at the same time, well bred.
There was the attempt to- Kill Louis
Xl. by rubbing an ointment on the
corner of the altar step on which he
went to kneel. Gloves and bouquets
removed mighty men and delicate
women. Wallets pricked their masters
as they served them in their toilet.
Nails stepped in acOnite put an end to
petty quarrcls. Henry of CASTLE wore
boots one day and never took them off
again. A King of Grenada should
have refused the adornment of a
variegated royal jacket There was a
jealous woman who smiled as she saw
her rival eat the half of delicious bird
that had touched the poisoned side of
the knife used by kissable hand. A
torch borne before Il cardinal lighted
him to dusty death. Perfumed ducats
slew a creditor before ne could sign
the receipt There was poison in the
pommel of the saddle that bore a
powerful queen. II is said that Henry
the Emperor and Pope Clement XIV.
were poisoned in 4 draught of the holy
eucharist. There were still more sub
tie devices. too horrible to tell; but
searchers into the dark vet splendid
history of the renaissance and students
of the Elizabeth drama may find there
N many a shudder.
Yet there is subtle poisoning even in
these degenerate days The careless
plumber or the greedy landlord is, in
his way. a lessener of the race. There
are wall papers as etlicacious as the
deathly books told of in the "Arabian
knights" or by Dumas the elder
There are public rooms where foul air
induces diseases. But these methods
are slow and bungling not in keeping
with our boasted civilization. The
smooth. the subtle Italian was more
merciful-that is, when he merely ac-
commodated 4 master and did not work
foy his own pleasure.

DREW THE LINE AT C0LONELS.

Boston Herald: Col. William N.

wealth, distinguished himself the
other evening at the dinner OF the New
England club Of the Delta Upsilon,
by telling half a dozen really excel

Mr.. Olin was speaking Of the ease
with which the soldiers of the great
armies Of both the North and the
South returned to their homes to take
up again their regular pursuit after
the war was over.

after the war Col. Higginson was
travelling in the South and he got to

HOW HE WAS NAMED 'STONEWALL.

j. H. c." in Chicago Tribune: l
see in the Tribune this morning about
shattering pretty stories about Stone
wall'' Jackson. [ will give you my
version of the way he got the name
of ''Stonewall" | was a lieutenant in
the First West Virginia cavalry and
was with Gen. Shields command when
he fought the first battle at Winches-
ter, Va, in the spring of 1862. Gen,
jackson attacked the Union forces
Saturday evening, and Gen. Shields
was wounded in the arm by the burst
ing Of she'll from Ithe rebels guns,
The main battle was fought next day,
Sunday In the meantime Gen. Jack
sons forces took up a position behind
a stone fence and fought nearly all
day behind that wall, but our forces
routed them and drove them away
late in the evening and whipped Gen.
Jackson for the first and last time dur
ing the war Fighting behind this
stone wall gave him the name OF
sStonewall' Jackson. Gen Shields
defeated him and drove him from be
hind the stone wall with about the
same number of troops. If there is
anything pretty about this story II
must be on the side of Gen. Shields.

"Kate Mckibben was a celebrated
belle in the early day, and she was
known from Detroit to the western
limit Of civilization as only beautiful
and cultivated young lady was known
in pioneer days After that ball, the
next time | saw her was IN 1881. forty
years and six months later | was in
Chicago, and went over to the Pullman
residence with my neice and another
lady to call on her. When she was
young woman it was reported that she
had refused twelve offers of marriage.
When | called on her in 1881, and
found her stately gray haired mat

asked her to tell the young ladies who
were with me the exact truth about
the matter She said that she had re
fused nineteen offers Of marriage be

THIS MATTER OF

Allowing big prices for old
square pianos as part payment
on new uprights is all wrong.
Peddlers who have ceased from
peddlng and broken into the piano
trade do it, but it is q brazen decep-
ton, because every dollar too much
they allow on the old is counter.
balanced by dollar too much added
to the price of the new and the new
at best is shoddy. Nine times out
of ten the men who sail them are
irresponsible, ana tho guarantees
they give not wort the paper they
are written on.
No matter what square pianos
may have cost in the sweet long ago,
they are no good now, and can hardly
be given away, much less sold.
50 when you come to buy, we will
charge you an honest price for a
new piano and allow an honest
price for the old.

CHILDREN
Are Found and the Responsible Party

Charlie Hall, 8 boy about l. or
IA years old was aTraigned before
Justice Gallagher this morning on a
charge Of enticing minors away
from their parents. The jury re.

Brown, said he was going after
COWS aud asked them TO accompany
him. He took them to Proctor
Springs, and the state testimony
shows that at about dusk the boy

aged and 8. respectively, alone in
.he woods.
The parents of the children be
came very uneasy at their absence
ard the whole neighborhood was
soon out in force searching for
them.
They were not found until &c
o'clock, whe n some of the searchers
discovered them wandering about in
the tall woods near Capt. Blalr's
residence.
