DEAD, VET HOT DEAD.
EDWARD ARNOLD.
"She is dead P they Mid to him. "Come
away;
Kits bar and leave her—thy love is clay.
They smoothed her tresaea of dark brown
uir;
On her forehead of atone they laid it fair.
Over her eyes that glazed too much
They drew the lids with a gentle touch.
With a tender touch they closed up weltl
The sweet, thin lips that bad aecreta to
tell.
About her brow and beautiful face
They tied her veil and marriage lace.
And drew on her white feet the white
ailk shoes—
Which were the whitest, no eyea could
choose !
And over her bosom they ciossed her
hands—
.■Come away," they said, “God under
stands !
And thero was silence, and nothing there
Bntailence, aud aceuts of eglantere;
And jasmine, and roses, and rosemary:
And they said: “As a lady should lie,
lies she ”
And they held their broatlis as they left
the rnom,
With a ahndd-r. to glance at its Btillness
.ml gloom.
But he who love-1 her too well to dread
The sweet, the stately and beautiful dead,
He lit his lamp and took his key;
He turned it. Alo/.o a vain—he and she.
He aud slit: but she would not speak;
Though ho kissed in the old place the
quiet cheek.
He anil slio; yet she would not smile;
Though lie called her the name she loved
erst while.
Ho aud she; still she did not move
To any passionate whisper of love.
Then ho said: Cold lips and breast with
out.breath;
Is there no voice, no language of death?
Dumb to the ear and still lo the sense.
But to the heart inui soul distinct intense?
See now. I will listen with soul, not ear—
What was the secret of dying, dear?
Was it the infinite wonder of all
That you ever could let life’s flower fall?
Or was it a greater marvel to feel
Tho perfect calm oYr the agony steal?
Was the miracle greater to find bow deep
Beyond nil dreams, sank downwurd that
sleep ?
Did lifo roll hack its record, dear?
And show, as they say it does, past things
ciear ?
And was it ttie innermost heart of tho
bliss
To find out what a wisdom .nu- love is i
Ob. perfect dead I Oh, dead most si ear I
I hold the breath of my mini to hear !
1 listen as deep ns llie horrible bell,
As high ns the heaven aud you do not
tall !
Thero must bo pleasure in dying, sweet,
To make you ao placid from head to feet.
lwould tell you, darling, if I were dead,
And 'iwere your hot tears on my brow
abed.
I would aay, though the angel of death
bod laid.
Hia sword on my lips to k«ep it unsaid.
Yon should not ask vainly, with stream
ing eyes,
Vfaiob of all death was the ehiefest sur
prise.
The very strangest and suddenest thing
Of all surprises dying must bring.
Ah, foolish world! Ob, most unkind
dead 1
Though aba told me, who will believe it
wnaaaid?
Who will believe what I beard her sav,
With the sweet, soft voice, in the desr
<dd way?
The utmost wonder Is this; "I hear
tart see you, aud love you, and kiss yon,
dear.
And am your angel, who was your bride,
And know that, though doau, I never
have died
Georgia to the ( root on Corn.
Atlanta, Ga., March 4.—Edi-
tobs Constitution: I note with
surprise the heavy yields of corn
made under the gossypium pnos-
pho tests last season. I belonged
to the farmers “Hundred Bushel
dub,” of Sew York, in which un
der the most favorable conditions,
with richest lands and best imple
ments, only eleven members out of
ninety-eight reached 100 bushcle to
the acre, the two highest being 118
and 110 bushels. That Georgia
should, in a competition of sixteen
formers, reach 116^, 106 and 103
bushels for the best three, and
average 88^ bushels for the entire
sixteen contestants, is astonishing
to a northern man who knew little
of the fertility of your soil.
A. P. G.
Old Electoral Tickets.
Montezuma, Ga., March 6—Jas.
M. DuPree, of our town, has by
way of political relies pasted in a
scrap book all the clectorial tickets
put forth by the different parties
in Georgia from 1852 down to, and
including, the last election, wherein
appears ttie name of his own father,
the late Dr. ira E. DuPree, ol
Twiggs county, tlirce times, to-wit:
On the Scott and Graham ticket in
1852, the Beii and Everett in I860,
and the Davis ami Stephens in
1862. while the name of the son
himself appears upon the Tilden
and Hendricks ticket in 1876, when
be whs a very young man, perhaps
the youngest of any men who ever
bad the honor of a seal in Georgia’a
doctoral college.
Attorney General Garland is the
flrst representative Arkansas lias
«ter had in tho Cabinet.
The Offices.
The Washington correspondent
of the Atlanta Constitution has the
following regarding appointments
to office:
The anpointments to principal
offices in the-^iuth will begin early
in the spring, and will continue
steadily on. Very few may be ex
pected for two or three months yet.
For the important places connect
ed with the general administration,
and which will soon be filled, rumor
has many suggestions. Thurman
could have the English mission it
he desired it, but they say he does
not. Pendleton is most generally
suggested as minister to France,
provided, of course, that Thurman,
Irom the same State, does not go to
England. General Lawton is men
tioned for high diplomatic honors.
Black, of Illinois, will he apt to sit
at Lamar’s right hand ns commis
sioner of pensions. Ex-Congress-
man Robert B. Vance, ol N. C.,
and HobiUcll, of Maryland, arc
urged for commhsionerof patents.
For commissioner of agriculture
Congressman Aiken, of South
Carolina, has support from twenty-
five states. There are thirty appli
cants for commissioner of internal
jevenue, with Phil Thompson, of
Kentucky, and cx-Congressman
Atherton, of Ohio, moot actively at
work to secure it. Mr. Money, of
Mississippi, it is reported to-day,
had been tendered the position of
first assistant postmaster-general.
He denies it to-niglp and says he
knows nothing of the origin of the
report. The Missouri congressmen
are urging Nicholas Bail, of that
state, who was reading clerk of the
last and several preceding demo
cratic national conventions, for
tlmt place. Ills friends say he is
the choice of Mr. Vi its.
Whut Broke ( p the “Professor.”
First traveling prenologisl—
Can't you lend me a dollar?
Second traveling phrenologist—
My gracious! Is that you ? Why.
you look all broken up. Been sick?
“No, bu I’ve had very bad
luck !”
“1 should say so. Never saw
you look so seedy. Couldn’t you
attract an audience at your last
town?’’ ,
Yts, I had a big audience, and
during the lecture tried to read
characters by the bumps, as usual,
hut I made so many^ terrible blun
ders that tlie people, made me give
their money back and then they
mobbed me.”
“Made blunders! I can’t under
stand that. You never failed to
recognize bumps bcf< re. Wfcat
could have been the matter?”
“It soems the town had a new
roller skating rink and everybody
was learning.”
A Repuhlirnu Crosses Over to the
Democrats.
Spin nofiELo, III., March 6.—In
the joint convention to-day, two
votes were cast. Speaker Haines
voted for Bishop, and Mr. Streeter
for Black. Mr. Streeter, in cast
ing this vote, gave notice that
after this week he was determined
to vote each day for some one,
until the election of a United
States senator was accomplished.
He claimed that ho bad served
the republican party long enough,
and would vote for a democrat
until an election. The joint con
vention then adjourned.
The Sew Commissioner of Pensions.
CnrcAoo, March 6.—“What do I
think of the cabinet?”said General
John C. Black, of Danville, as he
sat to day surrounded by the mem
bers of tho Thirty-seventh Illinois
regiment, gathered in their first
annual reunion. “I am disposed
to think highly of tho members, es
pecially the Secretary of the Inter
ior. He notified mo to-day of my
appointment as commissioner of
pensions. Of course I accepted.”
The Missouri backwoods States
man, the Hon. Jefferson Storts, is
fast achieving a national reputa
tion, and bids fair to become tho
most popular legislator in his
State. He proposes to use his in
fluence to have a law enacted re
quiring circuses to do all they ad
vertise. He is opposed to licens
ing circus men to obtain money
under false pretences.
A special telegram Irom West
Virginia indicates that a wealthy
farmer has been lynched near
Fayetteville for turning hia aged
mother out of his house and al
lowing her to freeze to death in
his yard. Lynching is rarely jus
tifiable, but no one could severely
condemn it in such an instance as
the above.
