SONG OF LOVE.

iknow not of moonlight or starlight
Be soft on the land and the sea-
catch but the near light, the far light
OF eyes that are beaminR for me;
The scent Of the night, of the roses,
May burden the air for the. Sweet
It's only the breath Of thy signing,
know as lie at thy feet.
The winds may be sobbing or singing,
Their touch may be fervent or cold.
The night bells may toll or be ringing.
I care not while thee enfold!
The feast may 30 on, and the music
Be scattered in ecstasy round
Thy whisper, II love thee! love thee!''
Hath flooded my soul with its sound.
Think not of time that is flying.
How short Is the hour have won;
How near Is this living TO dying.
How the shadow still follows the sun;
There IL naught upon earth, no desire
Worth thought, though 'twere had b!
a sign!
I love thee! I love thee! bring higher
Thy spirit. thy kisses, to mine.

cided to take her with him for the
present at least.
After he had thoroughly rested
they started on the return journey.
Bessie began crying for something to
eat after awhile. but being afraid to
trust himself ut any Of the houses
along the way he gathered some
wild berries for her, promising her
something better later on.
Toward the middle OF the afternoon
they reached the Union lines and the
lieutenant lost no time In getting a
party Of men ready to 60 back and
capture the ruffianly Tom Jones and
his gang. But when they came to
the river they had to go miles out OF
their way to find u crossing, and by
the time they reached the old farm
house the outlaws had gone.
Grey then made his way to another
place further down whore he remem.
bered seeing an old negro during his
journey Of the previous day, and from
this fellow he managed to learn that
Jones and his wife with a gang Of
men had gone by early that morning.
Then lie asked the man II he
knew anything about the little girl
who had lived with Jones and was
told that she was q niece Of the man,
her mother having died some time
before, leaving Bessie to the tender
care Of the rufiian and his wife.
'Dey treats 'er pow full bad" con.
cluded the negro shaking his head.
There was nothing for tho lieuten-
ant to do now but return, and he
gave the order accordingly, hoping
later to find Bessie's folks and re-
turn her to them. But In this he
was unsuccessful. and before many
days tho child became 80 attached to
him that lac began to wish he could
keep her.
He did finally send her home to
his folks, and though he continued to
make inquiries about her nothing
ever came OF It. Before the war
ended, however, he learned that
Tom Jones was notorious guerrilla,
and that he with several OF his men
had been shot dead In raid on a
plantation further south, while his
wife had entirely disappeared.

As between man and woman the
woman has much the best OF 1t In law.
The wife may leave the husband
whenever she likes and may live by
herself or 90 away with some other
woman's husband. and no law can
bring her back. But II 1t 10 the hus-
band who deserts his wife the law Is
after him with . sharp stick. and he
must keep on supporting her, even
In cases where she has given some
cause for his desertion. In most di.
vorce suits the jury will find for the
woman on general principles, because
the average jury knows the average
superiority OF the average woman to
the average man. Ifa woman jilts an
admirer there Is nothing for him but
to swallow his pride or his love or his
wrath and look for comfort else

can 60 to court and collect $50, 900

women who resort to this way Of
making money are usually adventur.

A man Is responsible for his wife's
debts, and she can 60 to the big
shops and have silks, feathers and
velvets sent home and compel him
to pay for them. even though he has
to subsist on peanuts for months
after; but II he goes to buying cigars

This may be overdrawn, but We
think that women will have to admit

treat them very handsomely. 1t Is
true that In former times woman was
imposed upon and made to sui.

A SHARP Detective.

The Marquis Of Waterford once
showed remarkable detective skill.
A robber, who had broken into the
marquis house at Curraghmore, Ire
land, was pursued by him and fol-
lowed to public house four miles
of. There tho robber had seated
himself among q number OF men
who were drinking and smoking and
not one OF them would betray him.
The marquis, however, was master OF
the situation. He insisted upon
feeling all their hearts, and as he
was their landlord and the great man
OF tho county no one dared to refuse.
The man whose heart was still beat

SOME of the depositors in the burs:ed
Fort Scott bank will make an effort to
hold the directors responsible for their
loss. This is proper proceeding and
should be successful. 1t has been quite
the custom to elect few men directors
of bank who after their names have
been published become mere figure
heads. Many times their holdings of
stock are merely rominal; two or at the
most three persons furnishing about
all the money and doing all the business.
The people who entrust their money to
banks as rule know nothing of their
management They rely upon the state
and the law to protect them. II few
directors can be made to pay well for
neglecting the duties which they should
perform it will not only prove a benefit
to the people, but it will teach others
that being a bank director means some
thing and carries with it certain duties
which would better be properly attended
to. 1t is every directors business to
know the condition of his bank and if he
doesn't he should be made to pay for his
negligence when things go wrong. in
consequence of it. If the Fort Scott de-
positors shall recover their money it will
prove wholesome lesson to bank people
all over the state.
