WHEN MABEL SMILES.

When Mabel smiles, my heart beats high
A softer azure tints the sky,
And zephy rs sweet fit laughing by.
With strains unheard before,
While ! look in her peerless eyes
And envy not the rich and wise
Nor hoavenward gaze with wistful sighH.
For heaven can yield no more.
When Mabel frowns, the world Is dreAE,
Each trembling dewdrop seems a tear.
The roses droop in grief and fear
And cease to breathe perfume.
Alas, for me, a mournful swain,
The dismal moments drag in pain,
For who could bear to meet disdain
From lips 50 full of bioomf
When Mabel smiles, my heart is proud.
When Mabel frowns, my heart Is bowed,
But be she dark or sunny brcwed
She reigns my bosOm's queen;
And well she knows who rules in state.
That Joy and pain must Bltcrnats,
And SO fair Mabel hides MY fate,
smile and frown between.

MEDITATION.

Thou great eternal One to Thee we cry.
sky;
In the boundless region of mighty space,
Doth there live somewhere a grand, .upes
rior race?
Do all the morning stars together sing,
Making the high arehes of mighty Heaven
ring?
Unutterable glories in the seventh sphere
Which man cannot in his state, see or hear ?
Are Thy messengers clothed with flaming
fire,
Sent to this earth to accomplish Thy desire Z?
Do they, to our poor souls try to impart
That wonderful love that is in Thy gre: I
heart?
Isthere any beginning to yOn sky,
Worlds still undiscovered by mans wea
feeble eye?
Do aged worlds fall and to fie return
There to be made pure as they for agt :
burn?
Will man ever reach such a noble state,
No trace in his nature can be found OF hate? ?
Will progression ever be his desire,
And will he, to be like Thee, ever aspire?
VIII this grand world be purified in time.
BY revolving hres infinitely sublime?
And will it then for eternity stand.
Occupied by Heavens own redeemed land?

IN 1889 when the fight was be-
ing made in congress for the
establishment of courts in the ter
ritory and after it became certain
that the bill creating them would
pass and become the law, Judge
Stuart, who was in Washington
used all his influence for Purcell as
the place for a court as against
Ardmore on the ground that Ard
more was a commercial rival of
Gainesville. Now Gainesville
comes into ArdmOre ana asks our
people to assist that town in
Strengthening that rivalry by petit
tiOning congress to take away full
jurisdiction and give Gainesville
n court. If Judge Stuart's argu-
ment was good in 1889 it still
holds sound. For the same
reasons it is better for Ardmore.
if foreign jurisdiction is to prevail
that it should be remain at Paris.

OUT OF PORTSMOUTH HARBoR
How the British Government and Psopl
Sped the Parting Guest.

Sped the Parting Guest
Portsmouth Eng, Oct. 5.-The in
habitants of this port, military, naval
and civil, were astir at an early hour in
order to witness the departure of the
car and cZarina for France. Their
majeSties passed the night on board
the imperial yacht Pole Star. The
weather was fine and cold. All the YES
sels in the harbor We're dressed rain
bow fashion from stem TO stern and the
imperial couple were given a hearty
Send-off.
The first lord of the admiralty, the
Hon. George ]. GoSchen, on board the
fir'st-claSs cruiser Blenheim, started
at $50 a. m for the Nab iightship,
where a fleet OF thirty-tw British war
ships were assembled to salute their
qnajestieS and escort them to mid
channel.
At the special request OF the car
there ware no guards of honor mounted
ashore, the only military display being
a detachment of marines which did
sentry duty during the night and morn
ing. The entire absence of ceremony
connected with the departure of the
car had the effect that the crowds
ashore were not nearly so large as
might otherwise have been expected.
The Pole Star started at Z a. m. and
as she passed the various war vessels
their sides or yards were manned and
the imperial yacht was given bugse
salutes, while the band on the flagship
Blenhetm played the Russian anthem.
This was followed by the roaring OF
cannon statutes from the Infiexible, Wv
tory and Hero, and from the batteries
ashore.

Star to the mouth OF the harbor and
there returned to shore. The Pole Star
proceeded TO Spithead and was there
