a Country Maid.
M. Rock in Chambers, Journi

NJ. Rock in Chambers Journal
Her eyes the sun-kssed violets mate,
And fearless is their gaze;
She moves with graceful, careless gait
Along the country ways.
The roses bluShing in her cheek
That ne'er decay nor fade,
Her laughter gay, her words bespeak,
A simple, country maid.
No flashing gems adOrn her hair,
Nor clasp her lily neck,
No jeweled ciFclets, rich and rare,
Her sun-browned hands bedeck;
But pearly teeth through lips as red
AS reddest rubies CLEAN;
The tresses DER her shoulders spread
A golden mantle seem.
Her looks are kind, and sweet the smil,
That sparkles in her eyes;
Her mind, her heart are free from guile
She is not learned or wise.
No worldly art. no craft has she
Acquired, her charms to aid;
And yet she stole my heart from me,
This simple country maid.

They Continue to Raise Sugar.
From the New York Times Dem)

The predictions of our republican friends
that the domestic beet sugar industry
would surely be ruined by the repeal of the
bounty law does not appear to have pre-
vented the investment of large sums Of
money in that industry within the last
two or three weeks. The Incorporation of a
beet sugar company in Nebraska with a
capital stock of $500,000 was reported in our
dispatches of Saturday, and it was an
nounced a lew days ago that Claus
Spreckles had very recently invested ST.
10000 in the purchase of the beet sugar
factory at Chino, in California, and 10000
acres of land near it. The bounty was
from 1s4 to cents pound, and the new
duties afford protection equivalent to a
bounty of a little more than 1 cent
pound.

n London Church Inciden

The London Telegraph tells an anus
ing incident of a recent Sunday service in
a London church. A young man who took
up the collection, before starting, put bis
hand in his pocket and placed, as he sun
posed a shilling on the plate, and then
passed it round among the congregation,
girls The girls, as they looked on the
plate, all seemed astonished and amused
and the young man, taking a glance at the
plate, found that he had put. instead of a
shilling, conversation lozenge on it, with
the words: "Will you marry me?" in red
letters, staring everybody in the face
while one of the congregation had capped
it by a second lozenge, on which was
printed: Name the day"

A Kiss Made His Fortune.

A kiss once played an important art
in the life of the famous Belgian states
man, Frere-Orban, who is now seriously
i'll at his country place, says the New
York Tribune. In his youth the future
minister was a poor student bearing the
simple name of Frere. He had great diff
ficulty in earning enough money to keep
him at the university till he was ready
to pass his examination in the depart
ment of law. The young man fell in love
with a Fraulein Orban, the daughter of
a wealthy and aristocratic family, who
opposed his suit. IF you pass your eX-

mined young woman's answer.
Frere was successful and entered the
box in the evening happy but frightened.
The pretty girl, as soon as he had crossed
the threshold, stood up, rushed toward
him before a word was spoken, and kissed
him heartily on the lips. The astonished
parents were soon informed of the sig
nificance of the kiss by the daughter As
many other people had seen the young
girls action, the parents decided to make
the best of it, and accepted young Frere
as son-in-law on condition that he
add Orban to his name. This he did, as
a matter of course, and made it famous.

Agent Johnson, of the society for the
prevention of cruelty to children at Harris
burg, Pa, reports that he has found in that
city a number of cases in which children
whose lives were insured have been
starved to death by their parents for the
purpose of securing the insurance money.
He mentioned one instance of family Of
four children murdered by their parents.
The children were all well and in the
best of condition when they were insured.
But a change soon came over them They
became sallow and lean, and finally died
'of hamilton" according to the doctors
certificate. The neighbors say the chill
dren would cry for hours, and some times
all night for bread and their parents
would beat them to make them hush. In
another case an insured child was about
to die of 'inanition" when its parents re-
ceived a warning from the insurance COM
pany that their tactics had been watched
suddenly the child became healthy and
lively again. 1t is surprising that such
atrocious and inhuman crimes should, or
could, occur at the capital of the truly
good and highly moral republican state of
Pennsylvania.

Corp. Tanners camp of union veterans
is eminently correct in saying that the
changing of the name of Appomattox to
Surrender" is an insult to the memories
of Grant and Lee. and an affront to the
brave men who fought on the losing side.
To fasten the name upon the place will
be to act against the protest of the
country at large; and merely because a
handful of people at Appomattox-whe
are probably new arrivals and had no
connection with the place in its historic
days-lack a proper appreciation of the
eternal fitness of things to insist upon
the retention of the old name. 1t is to
