THR BROKEN HEART-
WRITTEN FOR THE HU.ATI.EKOF HOME.
She brought me a heart one mo. -log—
Brought ®e a heart to mend
And she said [1 shall never forget it]
“Twas broken by your friend.
The wound will grow d yer and wider *
She said in a sadder tone,
‘•l'nless you devise Homo method
To place it against his own. ”
Then 1 crept away to my chamber,
But a thought, like a silver stream,
Kept tinkling along the waytide
That bordered my restless dream.
Bo 1 hid thia heart in a lily,
When the dawn began to break—
In a beautiful water lily—
That grew beside the lake.
Yes, down on a snowy p’llow,
In acra He war.n »-i i deep
I laid the little fondling,
, And a ripple rocked it to sleep—
The dawn came up with blushes
And shook from her gown the dew ,
And 1 beard th* song of the sky lark
As into the clouds he flew.
But the heart dreamed on in the lily,
And I went at the close of day •
i And fou> d that my little treasure
Had chilled wit h the foam and spray—
So I warmed it upon my bosoa.
Then cradled it back on the wave;
But I feared that the little offspring
Was doomed to a watery grave.
So I watched till the daylight vanished
Through the sunsetspurpie bars;
Till tto night climbed over the willow’s
And lit up the moon and stars—
I thougt I heard a feotstcp—
And low in ti e weeds aid grass
I crouched, that there unnoticed,
I might behold him pass.
He came in his manly beauty,
And b.ight as the tire flies
That illrw'uaies the waving rushes,
I saw his glowing eyes.
He kneeled on the mossy margin—
I counted ti e 'lily’s there-
Two buds and a creau y blossom
Were in his hands so fair,
Anot er was d.aw a from the water
And pushing tha reeds apart,
I saw 'iwjb the very lily—
Where in I had hid the heart,
Did he pin it upon his coat,
Resting so shily in its place?
Ah I Ho passed by “a two fold egistei.ce”
With a frown upon his face.
And though lam absent and distant.
Me think I can still hear the tone—
Os a heart that is utterly broken—
■ Beating aye ! fur irom b's own,
And I see a true, noble woman
With a face so wondrously fair.

While her smiles cover caverns of despair.

The weekly press of the state is

nominated and elected governor ot
Georgia. Heres a word from the
Jasper County News:
“We hail with delight the an

state than W Y Atkinson.
Who can forget the arduous lab* r
of last year when the party was call
ing for its best mtn aud most bril

t>y Mr Atkinson.
Mr Atkinson is a man of brilliant
talents, quick preceptione, honest
convictions and the courage of his
convictions, His long term in the
legislature has famifiatizad him with
the internal working of the Statn,
consequently he is fully alive to a 1
the interests of the State. Not a
breath of suspicion has ever been ut

He has a strong hold upon the peo
