The Departed.

The departed! the departed.
They visit us In dreams.
And they glide above our memories.
Like shadows over streams:
But where the cheerful lights of hom'
In constant luster burn.
The departed. the departed,
Cal never more return!
The good the brave. the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep.
Where rolls the dirgelike music
OF the ever-tossing deep!
Or where the surging night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces.
In the cities of the dead!
i look around. and feel the awe
or one who walks alone.
Among the wrecks of former days.
In mournful ruin strown:
/ start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice Of the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice! 1t mingles with
Each free and careless strain:
j scarce can think earths minstrelsy
Will cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves.
The thrilling notes of birds.
Can newer be so dear to me
As their remembered words.
/ sometimes dream their pleasant smile
Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love l family hear
Ny name In sadness call.
know that they are happy.
With their angel plumage on.
But MY heart Is very desolate
To think that they are gone.

ant. Her first husband secured d.
vorce from her: she obtained legal
separation from her second, and then.
1t is claimed by the state. she mar
ried Hazard. This latter ceremony, IL
Is alleged, was performed in st. Paul,
by Court Commissioner Gallick
about March 4. The defendant then
went under the name Of Hnrgrave ana
as husband and wife the two came
TO Minneapolis and went to housekeep-
Ing at 10s Thirteenth street South.
Shortly afterward the couple went to
Nevada, Iowa, on visit to the alleged
brides parents.
Upon their return to Minneapolis
Mr. Hazard became acquainted with
Dr. Linda Burfield, said the attorney.
