When the lessons and tasks are all ended,
And the school for the day is dismissed,
The little ones gather around mo


To bid me good by and be kissed;
Oh the little white arms encircle


My neck in the tender embrace;
Oh! the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.
And when they are gone. sit dreaming
OF my childhood, too lovely to last;
or love that my heart will remember


While 1t wakes to tho pulse Of the past,
Ere the world and its wickedness made mo
partner Of sorrow and sin;
When the glory of God was about me,


And the glory Of gladness within.
Oh my heart grows as weak as a woman's,
And the fount Of feeling will flow,
When think Of the paths steep and stony,
Where the feet Of the dear ones must go;
OF the mountains of sin hanging DER them
or the tempests of Fate blowing wild,
Oh there's nothing on earth half so holy


As the innocent soul Of u child
They are idols Of hearts and Of households
They are angels Of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses;


Ills glory still CLEANS in their eyes;
Oh those truaRts from home and from heaven,
They have made me more manly and mild
And know, now, how Jesus could liken


The kingdom q God to child.

his card to Miss Nunly. He wrote the
following words on the card, before
placing it in the envelope: ''Nfiss Nunly,
will it be too great an assurance in me
to ask you for an interview this even

Winter had passed away and spring
was opening, when one day Herman
read an announcement in the journal
that there was to be grand meeting of
the Woman Sufiragists in his own city,
All the friends of the cause were invited.
Several ladies were announced to lee
ture in the evening. Among them was
Miss Nina Nunly, of Weston, who was
that evening to make her debut as q
lecturer. The paper spoke of the great
brilliancy Of her personal appearance,
and of the fire Of genius that undoubt-
edly lurked within.


Notwithstanding our friend Herman
had said hundreds of times that he
never would listen to a woman lecturer
for he was certain no lady would ever
attempt to lecture-this announcement
set him to deliberating. Should he go
and decide for himself If it was possible
for a woman to occupy so public posi-
ton and at the same time maintain that
modest demeanor that is the great
charm of the sex? He finally decided
to go.


Herman Powers was an impatient
listener among the crowd that had con-
gregated that evening. He had come to
hear Miss Nunly, and he cared not to
listen to the several ladies that first
claimed the attention of the people.


When the President Of the meeting
announced Miss Nina Nunly, all heads
were bent eagerly forward to catch a
better view of the modest, yet won
drously beautiful girl that made her ap-
pearsnce on the rostrum; and every one
listened breathlessly, as she began in a
low, passionate voice, TO plead In behalf

The preamble recOunts the election OF

head. or in default thereof that the present
government be suspended by military OF

The attendance Of Ministers and
Elders at the Session of the Synod,
in this town last week, was small
If the elders alone had been here,
in full force, the number would
have reached at least 116.


The reason, is said to be the al
most absolute ruin of the farming
interests in middle and West Tenn,
and North Ala, from the drought.
The wheat straw from the recent
harvest, has already been consumed
and stock is now being driven out
of the country to avoid starvation.
Money is SO scarce that nothing
but absolute necessity will justify
its expenditure, and the half fare
expenses of the trip, has prevented
the attendance of many at the
meeting of the Synod.

A Daring Robbery In New Jersey


'sHeavinx . Peter On tho Drag


One or the boldest robDeries ON record OF an
express company's sale took place last evening on
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western train at
about elghty-fve miles nom this city. The
Oswego express arrived at oxford, N. j.,
at seven O'Clock, when the express
messenger employed by Westcott co.
secured the door OF said car and went TO another
car to make some arrangements about freight.
Upon the arrival OF the train at Manunka Chunk
it was discovered by the messenger that the car
had been entered by robbers and the safe had
been thrown out on the track. An entrance
had been efected from the roof by breaking
the windows and then pushing the door
back. The men must, IT is thought have swung
iron rod running parallel with the sides OF the
car. 1t is thought possible that it is some person
or persons connected with the railroad who COM
mltted this daring robbery. The name OF West
cotrs messenger who was IN charge OF the
bears a very good reputation for sobriety and
honesty. 1t is thought that the ROBBERS mad some
accomplices waiting on the road with instruments

as possible, knowing that every moment was
valuable. The train had run twelve miles before

Not many years ago a clergyman


of one of the strictest of sects In a


neighboring city-a man eminent


for his piety and learning-had a


daughter, a girl of unusual beauty


and charm of manner. Much of the


story tells itself in these facts. The
child was no doubt carefully taught


and tenderly loved. Father and


mother gave her to the Lord; mother


and father, too, as the wisest fathers


and mothers will do, were secretly


glad of her beauty, and prophesied
a fairer future for her from it. Why
should they not? The world has no


future fairer than that before a wo-


man, young and good and beautiful.


There is no scepter with rule so abso-


lutte and sure as rosy-tinted cheek


and brilliant eye-nO royalty that


gives so prompt and keen a pleasure
to its possessor. When it belongs to
a woman in happy home, where she
is faithfully loved, and from which
she looks mp faithfully from her


daily work for him to an unseen
Father and Helper, it matters little
whether the home be rich or poor.
Her happiness is founded on a rock.


This girl went into a home, where


she was, we have every reason to be
lieve, loved and guarded from tempt
alton. How temptation came first,
or how she fell, is not worth the
telling now, even if any know. 1t is
enough to say that, with the teach
ing of her youth and her fathers
prayers before her, she choose a
brilliant life of protligacy and crime,
married and was divorced once or
twice, dragged into the courts the
men whom she alleged had wronged
her, was known in this city and
many others as woman of except
ionable charm and power, which
was never exerted to good end,
carried her charm and reputation to
Europe, and finally, having cOzened
a boy, the nephew of the Gar, to
his undoing, ran away to Paris with
the Jewels he had stolen, and is there
now. The whole story of the fair
woman makes a romance as brilliant
and dramatic as ever fell from the
pen of a French novelist; her beauty
has made itself felt in many courtries
she has grasped at different times
power and position.
