Three, only three, my darling,
Separate, solemn, slow;
Not like the swift and joyous ones
We used to know;
When we kissed because we loved each


other,


Simply to taste loves sweet asss----e
And layished our kisses as the summer
LavisheS heat
But as they kiss whose hearts are wrung.
When hope and fear are spent,
And nothing is left to give, except
A sacrament!
First of the three, my darling,
Is sacred unto pain;
We have hurt each other often:
We shall again,
When we pine because we miss each 9TH

kiss thee, dear, for all such pain
Which we may give or take;
Buried, forgiven, before it comes,
For our loves sake.
The second kiss, my darling,
Is full Of joys sweet thrill:
We have blessed each other always;
We always will.
We shall reach until we feel each other,
Past all time and space;
We shall listen till we hear each other
In every place;
The earth is full of messengers,
Which love sends to and fro;
l kiss, the darling, for all Joy
Which we shall knowI
The last kiss, oh, my darling,
My love-I cannot see
Through my tears as / remember
What it may be;
We may die, and never see each other
Die with no time to give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
I To die as live.
Token of what they will not see 81
Who sees our parting breath,
This one last kiss, my darling, seals
The seal Of death! - gs--4Iea-s

The NEwspArEE.-The newspaper

It is a newspaper that gives to liberty

The newspaper teens with
most practical morality; in its report
of crimes and punjshmeuts you find 4
daily warning against temptation;
how imprulcnce leads to error, con-

fruit of anguish and degradation,
The newspaper is the bond that binds
together man and man-no matter

is a law-book for the inlolent, ser

The lamp-ighter had begun to travel
down the street with the magic wand
thswhich he seemed to invoke light.
The eas-jets flashed up one after other.
From the window at which they sat
they could see the long train of golden

now he stood before the window at

and without removing his clasping arm ,
the man turned his head and looked
down upon the face on his shoulder.
The instant he did so he uttered cry.

MIR. Cardell walked up. He had
fallen asleep on his doorstep, and had
never been to the churchyard at all.
Indeed, there was no churchyard in
that neighborhood. And the old bach

This number, small compared with the immense

books of account ,and the contributing mem
bers were so dismayed at the exhibit, that
for time, permanent dissolution of the or
ganization was under consideration. The
receipts for the year were shown to be $685.
900, while the expenditures footed up $685..
900. The result was turned upside down
and downside up several times, and it wal
finally concluded that the loss was, in a
great degree attributed to the system OF
gambling, which has taken of late, such
forcible possession Of the game, to the sim
pie pleasure of witnessing an Athletic sport.
To overcome the sad drawback to an
amusement, which, in the abstract was de-
serving Of the greatest popularity. it was
finally resolved that the Athletic
Club would aid to tho full extent of its in
fluencs in crushing out this nefarious oppo-
sition, and that next season they would take
the initiative step towards reform, by en-
couraging the attendance, upon the grounds

THE READING RAILROAD MURDER.


The other night, man, under the influ-
ence Of liquor, got on board Reading
Railroad train, having first purchased his
ticket for Norristown. The conductor came
along, when Manayunk was reached took
the mans ticket, ''punched it''-and as the
passengers subsequently asserted, failed to
return it to him. At any rate, when the
conductor again made his round the man
hadn't his ticket ,and the conductor put him
off the train. The unfortunate passenger,
intoxicated and bewildered by the loneli-
ness of the region in which he was deserted,
stumbled along, not knowing whittier he
was going, when an express train, coming
from an opposite direction struck him and
knocked him lifeless into an adjoining
field.


An inquest on the case took place yester-
day, at which jury, under the direction of
Coroner Foy, rendered verdict censuring
the company and holding the conductor i'm
mediately responsible for the mans death.
After the deceased was put off the train his
ticket was found laying in the seat which
he had been occupying.

There is nothing actually new il the
Cuban situation, the sensational dispatches
from abroad to the New York Herald to
the contrary notwithstanding. One Of
these dispatches reprinted in our news


columns this morning is to the effect that
the Administration has asked the opinion
of foreign Powers on the question of Amer
ican intervention for the adjustment of the
pending difficulties on that island; that the
replies received are satisfactory, and that
Great Britain is ready to approve of i'm
mediate action. 1t may be said of this dis
patch with emphasis that it is not true in
its import. 1t may be added in this con-
nection that whatever steps may have
been taken, or may yet be taken by
this Government In regard to this i'm
portant subject, the Administration will
consistently and persistently insist that
the letter and spirit of the Monroe Doc
trine shall be observed. This assertion
should be construed as declaration that
no interference with established Govern
meRts on this continent will be tolerated
by the United States, unless they are
thoroughly in accord with established
American policy. 1t is not improbable
that the acquiesence Of the European
Powers in this declaration may have given
rise to the assumption in the Herald dis
patch that they have replied satisfactorily
to Secretary Fish's alleged circular on the
subject of intervention.
