LOVERS LANE.

Eyes or nlNo--tne EluNce tnat tnrllI5,
Whisperings of the old. old tale.
Moonlight sllv ring distant hills
With its dreamy filmy veil;
Down the path our slow feet trend.
Our shadows with the naples blend,
In our hearts the same refrain.
As we roam through Lovers Lane.
Lovers Lane Is lined with trees.
Stately naples elm and oak,
And the network OF their leaves
Der the pathway spreads cloak:
But now and then 4 trnant ray
OF saucy moonlishi finds its way
Into tine bower of CuDids Gain
And sees strange things in Lovers Lane.
In quaint old town maid fnew.
An artless. tair-hsired maid was she:
BY those coral lps and thcse eyes of blue.
Sweet Was the spell she east DER me-
In tho dreamy nights of summer weather
RoamoG we through the lane together
Hearts throbbing fondly the old refrain
To the song of the thrushes in Lovers Lanc
Sweet those days Of the long ago.
When We strayed through ;he leafy aisle,
Our hearts as lieh; ss the wanton flow
OF the music of biris-wthout guile.
Twas long ago; but the eyes OF blue.
And the silkcn hair. soft as tina dew.
Are as sweet to-day as when We twain
Roamed together in Lovers Lans.

tor was working over the patient, a
lamp was placed near the fingers OF
Miss Benedict's left hand and,
to the surprise of the doctor,
q faint reddish color could be seen, de-
noting the existence Of life. On Wed
nesday slight quivering of the eyelids
was noticeable, and Immediately there
after severe shock shook the body OF
the girl. A cold sweat followed and
she exclaimed: 81 am alive. Please
don't bury me-" The trance has left

ONE OF THE two Washington anti
Alexandria county, but pro District OF
Columbia race track newspapers, in a
long account of policy, keno, crap and
other sorts of low and negro gambling,
which it alleges is practiced ad ibitum
in this city, says that in the rooms OF
the Alexandra Club, corner Of King
and Washington streets, any kind OF
gambling game can be found in prog
ress. The clue referred to is com
posed of some of the most reputable
and respected business men of the city,
many of whom are consistent church
members, and some of whom signed
the petition for breaking up the race
tracks in the county, and the fact that
they are thus publicly paraded as pro-
fessioual gamblers, shows the utter
recklessness of the professional reform
er, and that he would, if he could,
blast the character of the purest man,
to gain his own malicious, or at least
questionable end.
