A Weary Soul.

Into a hall so grand and bright,
One dark and stormy night
A weary soul, sadly plight,
A form so frail so very light.
One more plying sight,
Who can tell from hence she came?
Who she is, and what's her name?
What's the anguish and the pain?
That is wreaking her frail frame!
How long will hold the inevitable
strain?
Let me depict the longing glance
OF this weary one. Now advance
Seel how the dear one lay in entrance
See! how the golden curls enhance
BY the wind, upon her fevered brow
to dance.
Peacefully now, sleeps the weary one
For her life's work is done.
Over the gentle brow proud death
Has spread its perfumed breath,
Leaving no trace Of sorrowsor pain
And Of a love that was all in vain

ORIGINAL POEMS
By Miss FRANKIE Jenkins.
Especial to the Blade.)
JUST TABBY

Years ago in days of old, the good
folk of little ancient village was
startled nigh unto death.
Suddenly out upon the Stiffness Of
the early morn, the old church bell
began to ring.
Frightened, wondering, praying,
every one rushed to the church, still
as they all looked on in establishment
the bell pealed forth.
Finally a brave man ventured to
go in with firm hands fixed upon the
door, he sailed forth. Up to the
tower with each strand of his hair
upright he pulled open the door.
There to his surprise and scare
stood good old Tabby pulling the
rope in glee and fun.
Selling her he brings her before
the eager waiting crowd and cries
here is the culprit.'

A WAY-WORN TRAMP.

Under a shady apple tree,
A way-worn tramp one day,
Sat down his weary limbs to rest,
And to while the hours away.
Twas there beneath the soothing
winds,
The poor soul fell asleep.
He dreamed of happy by-gone days,
And fields in hay knee-deep.
OF how in happy childhood years,
He climbed his fathers lap,
And sat amidst the whirhng smoke,
While mother took her nap
He hears his fathers tales again,
His mothers low, sweet voice,
His sisters humming too along
1t made his heart rejoice.
Again around the farm-yard runs,
And plays at hide and seek,
He sees his childhood sweetheart too,
So gentle mild and meek.
And just as manhood days drew on,
Those sad, yet happy days,
The way-worn tramp his journey took
To his numberless dreary ways.

Birthday Surprise Entertainment,

Mrs. Allen Henderson surprised
her husband Tuesday evening by
calling in a small coterie of friends
to join the family in celebrating his
10th anniversary of landing on this
Mundane shore. The guests began to
arrive early in the evening. Shortly
afterwards we were ushered into the
dining room, taking our seats to a
table that groaned under the strain
of Cream of Tomato Soup, Bent Wa
fers, Stewed Chicken and Brown
Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Scalloped
Oysters, Candied Sweet Potatoes,
Fruit Salad, Jelly, Butter Rolls, Cof-
fee, Ice Cream, Cake, Apple Cider,
Cigars.
The Birthday Cake was artistic
ally decorated by the accomplished
hostess with the number 46 in the
center.
The guests retired to the parlor
and after the usual initiation, we
babe them goodbye with many well
wishes for as many more happy
years. The guests were Messrs. Geo
Buckner, Asa Washington, G. G.
