‘Twa -, homage man pays ami but once

A 1 >vc that would forfeit the world for

superhuman,
To entch oom thy smile but one mo

In weeks, and week>; in months of

Their light with the dew and the pink

Ah, well, ’tis over, the dream to whose

Love’s being was lost and life’s being

A thing of too exquisite rapture for
pleasure,
An ? sharper t’rm hunger and fiercer
than flame.

With cbistef of j- v. e’.s and cunning <;i
Had ih y seen in what sorrow the years

An Old Law.
Globe-Democrat: Our leap year ,
statisticians have brought to light (
a curious old Scotch law of 1828, .
which runs in these words : “During
the reign of her blessed Majestie
Margaret, each maiden l::die of both ,
high and low degree, shall have liber
tie to speak to the man she likes. It
he refuses to take her lobe his wif.
ho shall be mulct in the sum of (
£IOO, or less, as his estate mav be,
. . " . I
except and always if he can make
it appear that he is betrothed to
another woman; then he shall be
free.” A right, smart spinster with
a horse and gooart ought to be able ■
to speak to at least a score of eligi- 1
ble bachelors in the course of a
year, at an average of say £2O a
head, and a possible husband in the '
batch. This would not make a bad '
investment of time and labor. The
trouble would bo that in time there !
would be no bachelors left. The '
law might, be termed a statute fori!
the encouragement of old maids |]
and the eradication of old bache
lors. He must be a sorry chap ;
that would be skipped in such a i
hunt. :
Albert Elin.., of Birmingham, '
England, was sentenced to only
three months imprisonment at hard :
labor for throwing his child, eieven
months old, into the fire-place, and ;

and trying to jump on it, having ,
previously offered a sovereign to the !
child’s nurse to make wav with it. I

A syndicate, including several

States of Tompkin’s process for re

applying the process to a reduction
to paper of cotton stalks and seed
hulls, now worthless. The promot
ers of the enterprise claim that pa
per can be made in this way at a
cost of two cents per pound and if
this is so the establishment of tln ir
mills will mean as much to the south
as the establishment of the cotton
seed industry.
