“Only a Woman's Hair.”
After Swift's death there was found
in his writing desk a tress of Stella’s
hair. On the paper enclosing it there
was written: “Only a Woman’s Hair.”
“Oaly a woman's hair?”
A seal, a sign,
Nerving the knightly ami
In Palestine.
“Only a woman’s hair ?”
Beside their lore
Pale students lay the pledge,
And strive the more.
“Only a woman’s hair?"
Old men depart,
Fumbling one little Iress
Held to the heart.
“Only a woman’s hair?”
Gage of fond trust,
| Buried with stalwart forms,
Crumbling to dust.
“Only a woman’s hair ?’’
Was this a gibe—
A bitter sneer ? If so,
* Shame on the scribe!
• •
“Ouly a woman's hair?"
Was this a sigh
Borne on the midnight surge
f JJJ*. Of memory?
“Only a woman's hair?”
Lo! there be times
When wailing music clings
To meekiug rhymes.
“Only a woman’s liair ?”
Strange it appears
That he should nurse a jest
So many years.
. r “Only a woman’s hair?”
Dead Stella's hair;
If she had meant a jest
Why all that care ?
“Only a woman’s hair?”
True—naught beside;
And yet 'twas something more
When Stella died.
“Only a woman’s hair ?”
A woman’B hair;
A moan from out the Past—
A womau’s hair!
When you marry take the daughter
of a good mother.
Immense lace collars, such as our
grandmothers used, are coming into
fashion once more.
A beautiful woman, said Fonteuelle,
ia the purgatory ot the purse and the
paradise of the eye.
Wind-mills to raise water fer irriga
tion purposes are coming into use on
the St. Johns river, in Florida.
A farmer in East Andover, N. 11.
has realized an average of $6 from each
one of his flock of ninety sheep this year.
Some German farmers, near Hunts
ville, Alabama, made thirty-five bushels
of wheat to the acre this year on ordi
nary land.
In Paris in 1871, the total number
of suicides was 4,177. Out of this
number 701 were caused by disappoint
ment in love.
Iu the year ending September Ist,
sixty-four thousand five hundred and
seventy-four bags of coffee were im
ported into Mobile.
An Alabama youug lady who was
naught smoking a cigar gave as her
reason, “that it made it smell as though
there was a man around.”
A Brooklyn physician considers Tur
key figs, boiled in water, so as to make
a tea, and mixed with a little fresh
brewer’s yeast, a specific remedy for
scarlet fever.
Senator Schurz is firing the German
heart in the West, and this ought to be,
an easy task when you remember that
Henry Wilson is Grant’s Lieutenant.—
Schurz predicts with confidence that
Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania will
be carried by Greeley and Brown in
the October elections; and the signs of
the times all point to this glorious result.
“La me !” sighed Mrs. Partington
“here I have been sufferin’ the bigamies
of death for three mortal weeks. First
I was seized with a bleeding phrenology
in the left bamshirc of the brain, which
was succeeded by a stoppage of the left
ventilator of the* heart. This gave me
an inflammation in tbc boxay, and now
I’m sick with chloroform morbus. There
is no blessings like that of health, partic
ularly when you're sick. My mind’s gin
out, and I ain’t got no more to say.”

“The Expositor”
For the Campaign!
The approaching Campaign will doubtless be one of
the most interesting and exciting that has occurred within
the present century; and we offer The Expositor for a
sum almost nominal, that every citizen of Burke, at least,
may be fully informed of its progress and developments.
From now r until the first of December we will furnish it
to subscribers for Fifty Cents in Advance ; and we trust
that in this way it will reach every reader in the county.
The Expositor w ill contain full and accurate Crop Re
ports, Prices Current, Foreign and Domestic News, and
every Political Item of interest from Maine to California,
with extracts from all the leading Newspapers in the
United States, and Synopses of important Speeches bv
the most able and eloquent Orators and Statesmen in
the country. We appeal to our people to patronize and
sustain their COUNTY PAPER. In doing so they not
only enable us to live, but add to the character and poliG
ical importance of the county itself. Almost the first
question an intelligent stranger asks is: “Is there a
newspaper published in your county ?” and in an age
like this it would surely be humiliating to answer, “No!”
Every honest man is authorized to act as our agent;
and upon receipt of subscription price, the paper w ill be
promptly forwarded. Address, JAS. E. FROST,
August Ist, 1872. Waynesboro’, Ga.
