THE NEW AMELIE RIVES
Another New Poem From
the Pen of Miss HELEN
Pursell.
V cry Truly,
A Victim.
Cincinnati Enquier Dee. End,

Cincinnati Enquier Dee. End,
The Enquier gives herewith a
poem from the pen of Miss Helen
Pursell, whose productions in lead.
ing magazines have caused so much
comment lately. Miss Pursell's pc.
culiar and original style is compared
to that of Amelie Rives. She is a
lovely girl, of the Grecian style of
beauty. and scarcely 20 years of age.
She is the daughter Of Colonel F. S.
Pursell, the editor of the Logan
(Ohio) Republican Gazette. The
story is founded on the story of the
beautiful NEUROLOGICAL youth, Mar
cissus, who was enamored Of his
own image as seen in fountain and
was changed into the flower called
for his name. Miss Pursell simply
changes the gender of the person
and calls her poem "Narcisse."
She bends above the spring with laughing
eyes;
The tranquil, glossy spring;
Her pure young lace against its bosom lies,
And sun-stai ed fingers fling
A spray of silver to the nearer skies,
Where strands of rainbow cling.
She bends above the spring with musing ey es
The flat'ring, telI-tale spring;
And wonder dawns, as startled, she decrieS
Within that charmed ring
Her mirrorcd beauty, such as gods devise,
And sylphs to nature bring.
She bends above the spring with yearning
eyes;
The whispering. Turing spring;
BeholtlS the glOries Of the world arise
Her altar, and King
Bowed prostrate meath her glance, and rest
less flies
Away on woodward wing,
She bends above the spring with stony eyes;
The cnntrite, sobuinS spring;
But sti He'd, In awful peace, the wild, scOrned
cries
Arr, In TINT rigid thing
Her murdered heart and so fair face lies
White il tile moaning spriLg.

GA lion was seen near Washing

the presence of the animal. 1t is

Oh! what a condition to get into
on Thanksgiving day. When man
gets into such condition that his
frenzy pictures wild animals, of such

do not wonder that he imagines the
beast could "umbrage' in safety
from the 'saccuratism'' beneath the

Many passed him by, but after time
along came another young man of
about the same age carrying cane.
OF course he stopped and poked, and of
course there were results. The sleeper
awoke and angrily demanded:
