Come to nae, up on the knoll,
And nothing will suit the little dears,
But that must take a stroll.
Blithely we ramble together,
Through the woods and over the fields.
And the bright green sod beneath Us
TO our buoyant footsteps yields.
Along by the river We wander,


Where the boats come up from the town,
And gaze on its dancing waters,
As the sun shines merrily down.
All, river your tide flows swiftly,
And many tale | trow,
Could you tell me OF the very import
Of the one I'm telling you now.
It's the old. Old story, river


You've heard it again and again,
With its ott-recurrIng measure,


And its ever new refrain.
Yes that's it, you good old river
I'm in love with one Of the three
But which is THE one, Oh river,


You shall never know from me.
Way down beneath your surface,


Where may be, the corals twine,
You've your own dark secrets, river,
But not the brightness of mine.

REALTY AND ROMANCE-A recent number
of the Chicago Tribune tells a story land it APP
pears to be true) that might be worked up as
a feature in romance. Twenty years ago d
young Frenchman named Charles Gueroit left
his home, aud coming to the United States his
friends lost all trace OF him. Three years at
terwards his younger brother, TheOphile, fol
lowed in search of his missing kinsman, and
after seventeen years OF wandering and vain
inquiry gave the elder brother up for lost.
TheOphile ultimately rested in Chicago. 4
few weeks ago when Red Cloud and his party
were in that city he was looking over the news
papers, and being struck with the similarity of
the name of one of the interpreters to that OF
his brother, he went to see the Indians and
make inquiries. To his great disappointment
the interpreter had gone west IN advance Of
the rest of the party Red Cloud and his chiefs
were struck with the strong resemblance be
tween their visitor and their interpreter, and
made such strong expressions of surprise that
Theophie Gueroit is sure that he has at last
found the brother for whom he has made such
long and weary search for the las. seventeen
years.


A LOVE STORY WITH A MORAL.-There is
a good Joke going the rounds, of young lady
and gentleman at a fashionable party in Nash

man was happy, the young lady arrayed in all

swan-like neck. Finding the heat of the room
too much for them, they sought the cool shade
of an harbor where they listen to the fountain 5

silver pinions, and after an absence of three
hours our friends entered the brilliantly llu-

Rousseau said that no woman with
fine teeth could be ugly. Any female
mouth with a good set OF teeth, is kiss
able. The too early loss of the first
teeth has an unfavorable influence upon
the beauty and duration of the second.
The youngest children should according
ly be made to take care of them.Al that
is necessary is to brush them several
times day with little ordinary soap
or magnesia and water, After eating,
the particles of food should be carefully
removed from the teeth by means of u
toothpick of quill or wood, but never
of metal, and by thread passed now
and then between the teeth. Cam
phorated and acid tooth powders are
injurious both to the enamel and the
gums, and if employed, every particle
of them should be removed from the
mouth by carefully rinsing. The habit
which some ladies have of using bit
of lemon, though il may whiten the
teeth and give the temporary llrmness
and color to the gums, Is fatal to the
enamel, as are all acids. No one, young
or old should turn their jaws into nut
crackers; and il is even dangerous for
women to bite off, as they often do, the
ends of thread in sewing. 1t is not safe
to bring very hot food or drink, espec-
tally il Immediately followed by any
thing cold, in contact with the teeth.

The maid who binds her warriors sash
With smile that well her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles,
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And Fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As e'er bedewed the field of glory!
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
And braVely speaks the cheering word,
what though her heart be rent asunder,
Doomed nightly In her dreams to hear
The bolts of death around him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the field OF battle!
The mother who conceals her grief
While to her breast her son she presses,
Then breathes a few brave words and brief,
Kisses the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor!

AT least three-fourths of the tax
payers Of Evansville believe in their
hearts that the true interests Of the
City demand the election Of William
Baker as its Mayor. Yet il is not al
together certain that all so believing
will take the trouble to express their
belief in the form Of ballot, and
thereby make his election certain. If
every business man would only take
the time, not only TO vote him
self, but also to see that
his neighbcr voted, there would be no
doubt whatever as to the result. But
when We remember how prone busi-
ness men are to neglect matters Of
this kind, salving their cOnscienees
for their failure to do their duty with
tbs delusive idea that Mr.. Bak


would be elected any how, We can not
refrain from warning them again and
again.


We warn tax payers that they can
not afford to let the election Of Mayor
to-day go by default. The respOhsi-
bility is upon them. They can not tshirk



it if they would. II they will
pay a little attention to this important
matter all will be we'll If they neg
lect it, years Of repentance over their
folly, will not in the leas Tighten their

From the ohioGState Journal
The curse Of legislation is that ther,
| IS too much of it.


The Honorable Podijah ?. Peasley
! from Podunl, feels that he must max
his mark on the legislation of the period
! The eyes of POdunk are upon PeasleY
and he is expected to add something to
the statoot book. If he sits his way
through the session, like a man Of sense
proposing no amendment TO the code
| doing nothing to disturb the rule of sue
cessions and inheritance. and making NJ
effort to turn the divorce laws Of las
winter into bastardy and fornication for
next winter, Podunk is dissatisfied, and
will spew him out. The ambitious and
Oratoncal young Blow v. Ator will be
his successor, and Peasley may retire to


his pillow, if he has one.


Nearly one-half the work each winter
in our State Legislature consists in un-
important and vexatious changes Of the
code, Contrived to furnish a remedy for
some special case which has arisen in
the practice of the drawer Of the bill, or
his friends. And very likely a large
share of the business of the Legislature
at its next session will be to repeal these
provisions, in the interest of other par
ties, who desire a different remedy.


The laws of inheritance are changed
SO frequently that few lawyers in good
practice will venture to give an opinion
on any unusual question, without an in
yestigation of the statute book. A non
professional citizen can hardly know
what share Of his realty he may
devise even,-for the law of one winter
which gave the wife third, may have
given place to the law of another winter
which gives her one-half and this in
turn may have been made obsolete by
third law providing that each party to
the marriage copartnery shall carry out
of it just such share as they respectively
brought in.


The exemption law shrinlSs and ex-
pands worse than an irredeemable cur
US one winter fifty dollars
in personal property, another winter
three hundred, sometimes a small farm,
and again nothing at all, until we'll
meaning justices Of the peace are ready
to swear that their Swan is a delusion
and a snare, and the world a bowling
of bogs and quicksand, full
of statutory jack-o-lanterns.


The Democratic Legislature of last
winter, or the year before, passed a law
by which young woman of full age
could not marry. unless with permission
of her guardian; and passed another law
by which a man could not vote, unless
he was able to swear that he was his
own grandmother, or something Of the
sort


These are extreme cases, and are not
brought forward as illustrations of the
general course of legislation. They do
serve to illustrate, however, the facility
with which our statute book changes its
form, sometimes judiciously and often
absurdly
