TOGETHER.

Youth and Love fell out one day.
Said Youth to Love: 'I'll go my way
And leave you broken hearted.
I'll go through life without your aid;
I'll neither gaze on man or maid''-
And foolishly they parted.
Off went naughty Youth alone;
He hummed a tune in merry tone
And never looked behind him;
While Love, at home was sad and sore,
And longed for merry Youth once more,
Alas she could not find him!
But Youth had not been walking long
Before he hushed his merry song
His heart was full of sorrow.
He found it hard to stay away
From Love, if only for a day
He came back on the morrow
For Love and Youth apart would die
Like flowers without dew or sky
They'd fade if they would sever!
AS long as there is tide and time
In every land, in every cline
Youth and Love will be together.

The release of Mrs. Castle was to be
expected. In fact, the only real injus-
tice done this unfortunate woman was
the enormous amount Of bail demand
ed. Since the change in the laws re-
garding verdicts in England two years
ago, the former verdict of mot guilt
owing to Insanity is dispensed with
and the verdict guilty but insane"
takes it's place. Therefore in the case
Of such verdict a judge would have
no choice but to send the prisoner to
an insane asylum. This is the reason
why Mrs. Castle wes recommended to
offer straight plea Of guilty, and then
trust to just what has happened, a "dis-
charge for medical grounds"

LOST LIGHT.

I cannot make her smile again,
That sunshine on her face
That used to make this worn earth seem
At times so gay a place.
The same dear eyes look out at me;
The features are the same,
But oh, the smile is out of them
And l must be to blame.
Sometimes l see it still; l went
With her the other day
To meet a long-missed friend, and
while
We still were on the way,
Her confidence in waiting love
Brought back to me to see
The old time love light in her eyes
That will not shine for me.
They tell me money waits for me,
They say I might have fame,
like those gewgaws quite as well
AS others like the same;
But I care not for what I have,
Nor lust for what I lack,
One 1.-THE as much as my heart longs
To call that lost light back.
Come back, dear banished smile, come
back,
And into exile drive
All thoughts and aims and jealous
hopes
That in thy stead would thrive.
Who wants the earth without it's sun,
And what has life for me
That's worth a thought, if as its price
1t leaves me robbed of thee?

CHILDREN MUST STAY HOME.
New York Officials Plan to Adopt ar
OId-Time Curfew Ordinance

Father Knickerbocker, old and ex-
perienced as he is, is seriously thinking
Of initiating such cities as St. Joseph,
Lincoln, Lawrence and Kansas City in
passing and vigorously enforcing a cur
few ordinance, with the intention of
keeping his boys and girls off the
streets after o'clock winter evenings
and 9 o'clock during the summer nights
Such an ordinance has been prepared
by Mrs. John D. Townsend and has
already been laid before the board of
aldermen. The advocates Of the nea-
sure, which they claim will do much
tow ard saving the young people of the
city, are mastering all their forces and
will present strong arguments in favor
of the passage of the ordinance. They
have hopes that the measure will go
through, as already a few of the alder
men, the mayor and some of the police
authorities have declared in favor of
it.
The ordinance, after stating that it
is unlawful for young people to "wan-
der from their own fireside'' in the
evening, recites the pains and penalties
which will fall without fear or favor
upon any youngster who shall defy the
law. By the provisions Of the new
measure the patrolmen, the detectives
and even the chief of police are made
"truant officers" and are obliged to ar
rest any young person found on a public
street "after hours

in police custody until the majesty of
the law can be invoked in his case It

is believed the people who are back Of
the measure also intend employing
during the evening hours on the look
out for boys and girls who are so I'M
fortunate as to be a minute or so be-
hind hand in reaching the shelter of
their homes.
According to Mrs. Townsend and her
cOworkers, the value Of tn new Or
dinance is in preventing crime, they
going on the theory that much of the
evil now done at night is perpetrated
by boys and girls of from 10 TO 20 years
of age. In addition, they argue, by
keeping the children off the streets, they
will be prevented from associating with
older persons whose influence is bad.
A long memorial will be presented to
the board of aldermen, showing that
the curfew law has been in successful
operation in many cities Of the west
for some time past, and that under its
provisions there has been marked de-
crease in petty crime.

CHAPTER XVI.
Reckoning Without Her Hostess.

Reckoning Without Her Hostess.
Mrs. Cumberland had heavily over
drawn her quarterly allowance and
was without checkbcok, ready cash or
credit when she read Of the murderous
assault on Sir Andrew Gwenap and the
consequent appalling blow which had
fallen on Sholto Graham.
To go up to town to see him and
secure the best counsel that money
could procure for his defense was her
first impulse Then the paralyzing
reflection smote her that she had not
the requisite money to do this; that
she never would have it, indeed, unless
Sir Andrew recovered. For generous
friend as he was to her, it was gener-
GRITTY that stopped short of trust. What
he gave he gave from time to time. He
gave right open-hanGedIy, but there
was nothing settled upon her, no fixed
sum on which she could draw whether
she displeased him or not-he dis
trusted her too much to make her in
dependent until he saw her settled in
a safe groove.
She had just enough money to take
up to town and 70 Lady GWenap's
house in a hansom-once in town she
| could dispose Of some of the jewelry
which she carefully packed away in a
superficial-looking little Russian
leather handbag. This bag was strap
| ped to her wrist by a steel band and
| secured by a locked paddock

THE MILLER'S DAUGHTER,

1t is the miller's daughter,
And she is grown so dear, SO dear.
That I would be the jewel
That trembles in her eaT;
For, hid in ringlets day and night,
I'd touch her neck so warm and whites
And I would be the girdle
About her dainty, dainty waist,
And her heart would beat against me
In sorrow and in rest,
And I should know if it beat right
I'd clasp it round so close and tight;
And I would be the necklace,
And all day long to fall and rise
Upon her balmy bosom
With her laughter or her signs.
And I would lie so light so light,
1 scarce should be unclaspd at night.

LOVE SONGS.

A troubadour came singing:
81 come from Palestine
Unto a maiden, bringing
Sweet comfort from Loves shrine.
A knight has sent the token
Unto his lady fair
He keepeth still unbroken
The perfect faith he sware.''
A thousand knights were dying
In dungeons far away,
A thousand maids were signing,
While hope lived day by day.
And all who met the minstrel
And hearkened to his song,
Held it her own knights message,
And felt her heart grow strong.

WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS YOUNG,
LAD.

When all the world is young, lad.
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad,
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away;
Young blood must have it's courage,
lad,
And every dog his day.
When all the world is Old, lad,
And all the trees are brown;
And all the sport is stale, lad,
And all the wheels run down;
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and MANNED among;
God grant you find one face there
You loved when all was young.

(With apologies to the Elbertan Starr
The Equitable Loan and Security Company,
OF Allan Ia, was not placed in the hands OF d
receiver. as prayer for by some Of the stock
holders from Abbeville and elsewhere. who
were represented by w. N. Graydon, Esq.
Several weeks ago an application was made
for q receiver for the Equitable Loan and Sc
curity Company, 1t being alleged that the
company was not being properly managed,
and large and extravagant salaries were
being paid out. These allegations were
denied when the application was argued
and it was shown that the company
took the matter under advisement and
did not hand down his decision until few
days ago. He decided that be would refuse
the appointment OF receiver provided the
company would file $4,000 bond to secure
the parties having suits filed against the com.
pany in case judgment was rendered.
George W. Parrot and Jacob Haas. The $50.
900 was divided into two bonds. one for Sl0OOO
and the other for $4,000. Mr.. Parrot and MIR.
Haas signed both bonds.
One OF the hardest fights in the history OF
Fulton county has been made 10 put the
Equitable Loan and Security Company In
the hands OF receiver. Alter hearing the
argument, Judge Lumpkin decided TO deny
the application for a receiver on the ground
that the company would be able TO meet Its
obligations and carry on It's business. He re-
Quired the bond as guarantee TO the stock
holders.
The first bond presented was signed by
Judge H. +. w. Palmer and Colonel w. S.
Thompson. They were objected TO on the
ground that they were lawyers and attorneys
of record in the case. Judge Lumpkiu sus-
tained the objection and 1t was necessary for
new bond TO be presented.
At S:45 a. m. Saturday, just before The eX.
piration OF the time In which the bond could
be filed, the company showed its strength by
filing another unquestionable security.
The attorneys 1or the plaintiffs. made no
| fight on the last bond filed. They gave In
timatton, however that they would prepare

and carry the case up to the supreme court.

Newspaper Makers.

1t used 10 be the custom among newspaper
publishers to secure yearly and hai-yearly
ads. so that they could keep them standing
and thus do away with what they considered
extra work. To q great extent, In the new or
der OF things, this has become an obsolete
custom because advertisers have been CON
vinced that such ads. do not bring any credi-
table results. In fact, the newspaper pub
Usher who is alive to his own interest as well
as those OF his patrons encourages frequent
change. Even in weekly publications Il
change is desirable because the attention OF
the public is attracted by something new, and
the chances are that the advertiser will in
crease his space and soon come to realize the
benefits OF judicious advertising.
The wise editor will thus discover that 1t
pays to insist on freqEent changes, and even
