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. Petkr Sorghum, jjjsq. 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 ! Iu tbe world’s Oroad Geld ol battle, lu the bivouac of life. Be not like dumb, driven cattle ; 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 name ol Earthquake among the boys, be cause she has shaken so many of them. It is deeply regretted that Noah did not kill tbe two mosquitoes who entered with tbe other promenaders into the ark.

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.
