THE ROSE OF LOVE JS DEAD.
The wind pwept pardon is all desolate,
The ground is rrlm?oo with the bleeding vine :
Pave me some fruit, pome flower, or any leaf;
Some summer-token that may yet be mine.
All things aie palsied where I pass,
The very weeds are dead, alas !
The carpet-mosges and the pleasant gross
Are blown athirst across the yellow moor,
T he daisy tnrns to ashes in my hand
The ro«e o( Love is dead forever.
“My life is faded out,” she said ;
“Alas ! the rose of Love is dead.”
The alders shiver by the lonesome brake,
One idle leaf elincs trembling—all I see.
Will any hand reach down the lonelv leaf,
And give that kindred misery to me?
Mv life is folded, dark and brief—
One grief within another grief;
A passion dead, as any wanton leaf
Clings closely yet where hope may come no
more;
This is a garden tenantlesp to me,
The rose of I,ovc is dead forevermore,
“My life is faded out,” she said ;
‘‘Alas! the rose of Love is dead.”
My heart is sick with perfume of dead things;
1 hate the memory of passion fl d ;
1 hate the music-messages of son?
That throb between the living nnd the dead.
Sweet sounds aud scents and painted
flowers
Weary the sorrow-laden hourp.
No voice is heard where I have listened long ;
I only hear mine own, re-echoed o’er-
This garden is bespread with d ws of dearth,
The rose of Lore fs dead forevermore.
“My life is faded out,” she said ;
“Alas 1 tbe rose of Love is dead.”
—John Antrobus.
How Pal and I Fell A-Courtln\
One dav Sal filled me. She liPßfed the
poker orfnl hot nnd then axed me to stir the
fire. I tuck hold uv the poker mighty quick
to oblige her. but I dropped it quicker to
oblige myself. Wal, arter the poker scrape
me and Sal got on midlin’well for a time,
till I made up my mind to pop tbe question,
and 1 had an idee she had a sneeking kind
ness for me. lint how to do the thing up
neat and rite, pestered me orfnl. I got some
love books and read how the fellows git down
on their knees and talk like poets, and how
the gals would, gently like, fall in Inv with
them. But somehow or other that kind o'
wav dident suit my notion. I axed mam
how she and dad courted, but she said it bad
been so lor.g that ahe had forgot all about it.
At last I made up mv mind to go it blind,
for tbe thing was fairly consumin' my mind,
so I goes over to her dad’s, and when I got
thar I sot down like a fool thinkin’ how to
begin. Sal seed something was a troublin’
me, so she raid, says she, “Ain’t yon sick,
Peter ?” She said this mighty soft like.
“Yes—no," says 1, “that is to say I ain’t
exactly well. I thought I’d come over to
night,” says I. 1 thought that wn« a mighty
purty beginnin’, so I tried again. “Sal,” says
I. and by this time I felt mighty fainty about
the stnmmuck uod shaky in tbe koees. “Sal,”
says I.
“ Whst ?” savfi she.
J’ll git to it arter a while, thinks I.
At last,"Peter,” says site, “thar’a some
thin’ ahotlierin’ you ; its mighty wrong to
keep it from a body, lor an in'aid sorrow is
« consumin’ fire.”
Site said this, the did, the sly critter. She
knnwed what was ailin’ of me mighty well,
and whs tryin’sto 6sh it out, but I was an fur
gone I couldn’t see the pint. At last I just
gulped down the big lump a risin’ in my
throat, and says I, "Sal, do you love enny
body ?”
"Well." says she, “there’s dod and mam,"
and a countin’ on her fingers, with one eye
kinder shot, like a feller shootin’ < ff a gun,
“thar’s old Fide, (that were the old cow.) an’
1 can’t think uv eonybody else jist now,"says
she.
Now. this were orful fur a feller dvin' in
love, so arter a while I tried another slmte.
Says I, “Sal,” says I, "I am orfnl lonosnm at
home, nnd ef I only had a nice, purty wife to
luv and talk to, move and have my being
with, 1 would be a tormentous feller," says I
“Sal, do you know of any gal as would keer
for me?”
With that she begins to name over all tbe
gals in five miles round, without once namin’
of herself, and said 1 ought to get one of
them.
This sorter made my dander rize, so I
hitched up my cheer bodaciously, close up,
and shet both eyes and said, "Sal,you're the
very gal I’ve been hankerin arter fur a long
time. I luv you all over, from the sole uv
your hed to the crown uv your feet, and 1
don’t keer who knows it, and if you say so
we’ll be jined together in the holy bonds of
hemlock. E plurybust unam, world wi'hout
end, amen !” says I, nnd then I felt as if I
hud throwea up an aligator, 1 was so re
lieved.
With that she fetched a sorter scream, aud
arter a while she said, says she—
“ Peter!”
“What,” says I.
“Yes,” says she, a hidin’ uv her face behin’
her hankercher.
You bet a heap I felt good. “Glory, glo
ry," Boys 1. “1 must boiler, Hal, or I’ll bust.
Hoorah for hooray ! 1 cau jump over a ten
rail fence.”
With that I sot rite down by her and
clinched the bargain with a kiss. Talk
•bout your merlasses caudy—talk about your
blackberry j im—you would not get me nigh
’em—they would all taste sour after that.
O, tbeso gal?! How good and how bad,
how high and how low, they do make a fel
ler feel! If Sal s dad had not a sung out it
was time all decent folks ought to be abed,
I’d a sot thar two hours longer. Yoa ought
to seed me when I got home. I pulled dad
outer bed and 1 hugged dad ; I pulled mam
outer bed and I hugged mum, aud then 1
pulled Aunt Jane outer bed and I hugged
Aunt Jane. 1 langbed. I hollered and crowed
like a rooster. 1 daLced round aud round,
aud I cut more capers than you ever beam
tell od.
Dad thought I was crazy, and got a rope
to tie me.
“Dad,” says I, “1 am goiog to be married.”
“Married!” bawled dad.
“Married 1” equalled mam.
“Married I" screamed Auut Jane.
“Yes, married,” says I. ‘Married all
over—married like a flash—jined in wedlock
booked on for life, for worser and for bet
ter, for life and for death, to Sal. lam that
very thing—me, Peter Sorghum. Enquire.”
With that 1 ups and tells ’em all about it,
trots aifer to ermeger. They was all mighty
well pleased, and I went to bed proud as a
young rooster with his fust spurs on.

Bound to Get Out.
Ail was peace in the office of President
Por'er yesterday evenin'?. The labo'S of
the day were over, and an air of gentl
rppose pervaded the whole apartment. The
urbane Riglev had hoisted hi? eve-glas-es.
and whs sitting in the depths of a luxurious
arm chair, with bis feet perched npnp the
table, reading the excited brevities in the
Ledger. The sardonic MeOloy was comb
irig his curling locks before the mirror. The
spell of silence was broken bv the entrance
of a disheveled cbizert. evidently hi boring
under mpntal excitement. Me leaned over
the railing and addressed the urbane Bigley :
“Cirp'n, 1 want ter get out o’ h-re ”
“Out of where?” asked the U. B, with
courteous interest.
“Why, out of Memphis. Things is gitten
hot. vou sop, and I never had it ”
“Good idea ; it's much healthier outside.
Besid s, rations are playing out, and we
won’t be able to entertain in our usual stylp
much longer.”
“That’s what they tell me ; but how'm I
to git out l The railroads is shut down, and
tbe boats air g"t a howitzer moun'ed on the
deck to kpep off passengers from Memphis."
“Don't know, I’m sure ; just do as you
think nest.”
“ Puke the dirt road ami surround Bartlett.
You may capture a train there,” suggested
the S. McC.
“ But how the hell am I Jo git to Bartlett ?
They say the roads air nl> picketed, and the
country fellers air tolerably reckless 'bout
what they shoot at. To be sure, I might
take my gun along and lay out a few, but
that wouldn’t git me u through ticket to
Cincinnaty,”
“You might get a free ride to Nashville
under guard—if you shot straight.”
“But wlint if I missed?” queried the dis
heveled citizm.
“In that ense you wouldn’t need anything
but a burial certificate, and it would be fur
nished you free gratis.”
Tbe citizen mused a moment and then all
ut once a bright thought irradiated bis face
like sunlight on a tin pan :
“Don't you think n feller could strike th
railroad ’bout fifteen miles out and bribe the
conductor to let him git aboard? How
much d’ye think it would cost ?”
“Couldn't say,” replied Bigley.
McCloy—"VVhai’s the murket price of
conductor’s virtue ?”
“So little of it going that it ain’t quoted
any more ”
“Well, it’s all right for you feller.B to make
guine because you've had it, and air solid ;
but my mind’s made up; I’m goin’. It’s
better to be shot by a knrrenteen picket
than to have sporads huntin’you up ut the
dead hour o’ midnight. So long.” And
with that the rear of Ins duster Hilled oul at
the door, and he went forth on his perilou>
udventure. —Mernphit Avahinclte.
A South Carolina Judge on
Lyucli Law.
A recent case of lynching in Spartanburg,
S. C , was thus referred to by Judge Aldiich
in his charge to ihe grand jury -.
“I am not one,to excuse lynch law. nor
will you. 11 is always dangerous, and gen
erally wrong, for the people to pass a temple
of jusiiceand inflict summary punishment.
But sometimes human natuie will and must
nsserl its dignity and defend the chastity of
woman. Outraged humanity will not and
cannot wuit for the slow and uncertain pro
cess of the law’s delay. It too often happens
that by ingenious use of Ihe instrumentalities
that hedge around the accused, ho escapes
the just punishment of his crimes. It some
times occurs that even when juries ure
brought to the point of convictior, the
appeal tribunals on some technical quibble
noi affecting the merits of the case in the
slightest degree, balk justice nnd send the
culprit back lor a new trial. I lence, society
becomes impatient, and now and then mani
fest this impatience by taking the law in its
own hands. I say this is always dangerous.
It is manifestly wong when done in secret—
when the sell constituted avengers of the
law band themselves together in oath-bound
societies and administer what they call jus
tice. hut which is simple vengeance—not in
tbe light of day, but in the darkness of irght,
concealing their persona in frightful dis
guises We had enough of that in the ku
klux reign. ‘But wheu dishonor stalks to
our hearths, law ceases and murder takes the
angel shape ol justice.' And so it was when
Moore paid the penalty of his double crime
—rape and murder. Every lather, husband
and brother was aroused to frenzy by the
brutal outrage on that poor, inuocent, un
protected girl. Instantly, with no masks on
their faces, but openly in tbe broad light of
day, God’s sun shining in their eyes, fathers,
husbands and broilers brought this cruel
monster to the very spot where he had
ravi?hed her and, while her desecrated person
wus mantled in tbe blush of shame, murdered
her in cold blood ! There they erected a
gibbet, and dealt oul to him swift justice.
It wus not law, but who will dare to call it
murder ?”
Two beads with but a single thought,
Two beat la that beat as one !
Two pairs of lips in suspense held —
Tw* little smacks—yum—yum !

Be a martyr—take a wile 1
There are four metallic qualifications
which help a man through the world— iron
in his heart, brass in his face, silver in bis
tongue, aud gold in bis pocket.
Wbat is the difference between a Jew and
lawyer? Why. the one gets bis law Irom
the prophets, the other gets bis profits from
tbe law.
Wk know a young lady who goes by the

It is deeply regretted that Noah did not

If a lady wants a favor of a boy she
praises him ; of a young mao, she hires him ;
of an old man, she him.

With dark waving hair and eyes spark

By the Sad S«*a Waves.
A gnunt young man, with long, dark hair
and a look of yearning alter the unknowa
ble, was standing on Coney Island beach on
Saturday, and by his side wa? a woman who
he addressed as “My love.” He was watch
ing the white caps ar from shore, and she
seemed to be looking at tbe bathers
Without removing his gaze Irom the
wrinkled surface of the distant water, he
exclaimed, “Oh, that great day when the
bounding sea shall give np its secrets 1”
“Yes,” the woman said, with languid in
terest. “1 worder if that dumpy woman's
hair is her own?”
A look of extreme sadness enme over his
face, like the shadow of an umbrella, and he
involuntarily drew back a s ngle step. In
so doing be stepptd into a hole dujj by a
golden hatred little fairy of four or five sum
mers, and turned a back somersault.
“My love” looked at him reproachfully,
and said : “Leonidas, I am ashamed of
you."
He murmured something about the mis
chievous boys that • put boles behind people
for them to tumble over,” and then sat down
in the sand to take off his shoes and empty
the ballast out of them. lie had one shoe
off and wag dusting his instep; just then the
largest wave ol the alternoon came up and
obliterated all the prints in the sand around
him—but one His wife had retreated, and
the appealing look that he bad cast at her
while the wave was receding threw a gloom
over ull the guy throng on the beach.
“Leonidas," slm said in a voice choked
with emotion, “you had better find a seat on
the Bunny side ol the next train and keep it ”
Toward sundown tbe pair were seen stroll
ing on the asphult near Cable’s. The warm
sun and drying wind had done touch to
repiir the marj’s misfortune, and “my love”
wus evidently regarding him more hopefully.
Couldn't Stop Her.
The gates at the passenger depot which
shut out all persons not having tickets for
the trains were yesterday closed at the
Union depot against an elderly woman wear
ing spectacles and using an umbrella for a
cane.
“Can’t pass without a ticket,” said the
man at the gale us she came up.
“1 want to see if there is anybody on that
train going to Port Huron," sire answered.
“Cau’t [>ass without a ticket, madam.”
“l\e got a darter in Port Huron, l have."
"Can’t help it, please. My orders are
very strict.”
“I tell you I want to send word to my
durter 1” she exclaimed, adjusting her spec
tacles lor a bettor view of the official.
“Yes, but we can’t help that, you see.
Phase show your ticket.”
“I want this’ere railroad to understand
that I’ve got a darter in Port Huron, nod
she’s gut a baby four weeks old, and I’m
going to semi her up word in spite of all the
gates in this depot I”
“Please show your ticket, mudain I”
“1 tell you once more ”
“Please show your ticket, mudurn !”
She gave the old umbrella a whirl nnd
brought it down on his head with all the
vim of an old-fashioned log-raising, and as
be staggered aside she passed him and said :
“ I'nere’s my ticket, sir ; and I’ve got more
behind it 1 Mebbe one man and a gate can
stop me Irom seudiog word to my durter to
gtease the baby’s nose with mutton taller if
the weather changes cold, but I don’t believe
it!”
And she walked down to the train, found
somebody going to Port Hurou, and came
back carelessly humming the melody of
“Baby Mtue.”
“Whim 1 was a little boy,” lisped a very
stupid society mao to a young lady, “all my i
ideatb in life were theutred on being a
clown.” “Well, there is alleast one case
of gratified ambition,” was the ill-bred reply.

LIVER
This important organ weighs but about three
! pounds, and ail the blood In a living person (about
j three gallons) passes through it at least once every
I half hour, to nave the bile and other impurities
strained or filtered from it. Hilo is the natural
purgative of the bowels, and if the Liver becomes
| torpid it is not separated from the blood, but car
fried through the veins to all parts of the system,
.and in trying to escape through the port* of the
skin, causes it to turn yellow or a dirty brown
color. The stomach becomes diseased, aad Dvs»
pepsia, Indigestion, Constipation. Headache, Bili-
JoiLsness, Jaundice, Chills, Malarial Fevers, Piles,
Sick and Sour Stomach, and general deb : lity fol
low. Merkbll’s Hbpatinr, the great vegetable
discovery for torpidity, causes the Liver to throw
off from one to two ounces of bile each time the
blood passes through it, as long as there is at) ex
cess ox bile; and the effect of even a few doses
upon yellow complexion or a brown dirty looking
skin, will astonish all who try it—they oeiug the
first symptoms to disappear. The cure of all bili
ous diseases and Liver complaint is made certain
by taking Hrpatine in accordance with directions.
Headache is generally cured in twenty minutes,
and no disease that arise® from the Liver can exist
if a fair trial is given.
