In her trailing velvets and jewels grand, A delicate, fair patrician beauty, The reigning toast all over the land. Not fear nor shame was keeping me silent. As I gazed so eagerly iuto her eyes; Every feeling was mute within me, . Stilled by a great and glud surprise. I turned away and looked in the mirror, Smiling at what was reflected there; A small dark face, eyes of hazel, A broad, low brown, waving hair. A little figure, far from stately, With something of quaint and childish grace, The dark robe brighteued by scarlet ribbons That fastened a ruffle of dainty lace. She is heiress of untold riches, I've not a penny to call my own; No one but he even calls me pretty. Her grand beauty would grace a throne. But my heart wa3 throbbing with Joy and sorrow. As I looked again at that lace so fair; Joy that he loved me and deepest sorrow ' For the woman to whom I had brought despair. Mary Kavanagh, in N. T. Post. OBSERVATIONS. "Do you love this girl better than you do her sister?" was what a Kansas clergyman asked a man wno stooa up Deiore mm to be made a hus band. Women have cheek enough to wear men's hats on their beads, but there is one thing they dare not do. Not one of them dare remove her hat in public and dust oil the bald spot. A young wife, remonstrating with her husband on his dissipated habits, was answered: "I am like the prodigal son, my dear; I will refarm by and by." "I will be like him, too," she said; "1 will arise and go to my father." A wife who had been lecturing her husband for coming home Intoxicated became Incensed at bis indifference, and exclaimed: "Oh, that I could wring tears of anguish from your eyes.'" To which the hardened wretch hiccoughed: " 'Tal-tain't no use, old woman, to bo-bore for water here." They were In the wood. Said he, looking things unutterable: "I wtsh I were a fern, Giistie." "Why?" she asked. "Why p'haps you would press me, too." She evidently hated to dolt, but it is best to nip things In the bud, so she re plied: "I'm afraid you're too green, Charley." The poor boy almost blubbered. Horatio Seymour on Grant. New York, October 11. Ex-Go v Horatio Seymour was interviewed' here this afternoon. During the' course of the conversation he was asked -what he thought of General Grant's criticism of General Hancock. Governor Seymour "As far as I have been able to learn, it is generally con demned. Public feeling is decidedly against the ex-President on this matter, and I am very much mistaken if it has not lost him many friends. Such a course as he pursued will never find any favor with the American people." -iave you read lienerai JULancocka observations on the case ?" "Yes, and I admire him for the man ner in which, he -treated it. His good common sense asserted itself when he discussed the affair with such an- an swer as 'I doq't believe it,' or J. can't bring myself to believe he said such a thing,' or something to that effect. 1 do not recollect his exact words, but I am decidedly of the opinion that was the proper way to treat the matter." -men you believe there is the end of the case V Ob, I should Judge so. so far as 1 have seen in the papers; and, by the by, i iuny inaorse tne unqualified condem nation of the attack m some portions of the press." Why an Old Journal Republican Flops. From the Mlltonlan, Rep. We have to-day raised the name of General Winfield Scott Hancock, the gallant and illustrious son and soldier of our mother commonwealth and Pres ident or tne united states. .ForeQaatmg the natural result of this ateu and de siring to. snrmw? the Hon. SimomP. Yoiyewo,n for state Senator, we have concluded to, burn the bridges, behind s and give our support- to tne party Which supports, the hero of Gettysburg.

General Grant is slowly appreciatine the disrespect his reported DrvFowle$ interview 4U WgtMU veneiaj nnn- pQCk roust b,ringph himself, rundi he is gradually extending his apology fdf radii it. His second effort in the way of con fession and avoidanoe is given in the New York Tribune of yesterday in which he is reported as follows: "You had no idea that the interview with Dr. Fowler would be published?" "I certainly had not. It was an ex traordinary conversation, and J. did not tnink, lor a moment mat. 4jrt FowtW wanted to publish, it. "4few; days after e wraie asking lor my publish the substance of hat a gentleman was fitt ing to make use of ft on the stump af ter he hadsearced the records at Wash ington and ascertained the facts, and yet Dr. Fowler, after receiving my let ter, printed tne interview, is jop. mm it I repHedt Ear Development o te T Trade, In 184a thirteen firtna'oniy mjported (eas into the United States, Twdyears after Young Hyson was the kind most used, and it sold at $1.50 per pound.

Albsnj Law Joarnal. , a The law holds practical jokers crimi nally, and sometimes civilly, responsi ble for the fatal effect of their playful pranks. . In Dainererfield against Thompson, a civil action of damages, decided recent ly by the Court of Appeals of Virginia, the defendant was the keeper of a restau rant, and about 11 p. m after he had closed for the night hearing a noise outside, was on the point of opening the door, when he was shot through the right foot with a pistol ball which had penetrated the door from the outside. It appeared that several persons being on the street waiting for the plaintiff to let them in, the -defendant said to one of them who had a pistol : Let us give him a salute." To which the lat tery one Harrison, replied. ' "I'll do it" and immediatly fired. "The willful firing of a pistol in the street of a city, whether maliciously or not" said Christian J., "is of itself and unlawful act, and the consequence of such unlawful act mutt be visited - upon those who commit it or instigate it." As the plaintiff got a verdict for $8,400, this was better than a criminal prose cution. But the same practical joke would have been criminal. In Fen ton's case, where the prisoners in sport threw a heavy stone into a mine,' breaking a scaffold,nwhich fell against and upset a corf, in, which a mi ner was descending into the mine, whereby he was killed, they were held guilty of manslaughter The prisoners were sentenced to three months' im prisonment '! '. ; ; In King against Powell, a lad, at a frolic, without any intent to harm any one, took the trap- stick out of the front part of a cart, in consequence of which it was upset and the carman, who was in it loading it 'was pitched backward and killed. Held, mans laughter. Tbe prisoner was fined one shilling and discharged. In Ewington's case the prisoners covered and surrounded a drunken man with straw and threw a shovel of hot cinders upon him, whereby he was burned to death. Patferson, J., charged that "if they believed the prisoners really intended to do any serious injury to the deceased, though not to kill him, it was murder; but if . they helieved their intention to have been only to frighten him in sport, it was man slaughter." Verdict, manslaughter. Instate against Roane, the , defend ant carelessly discharge a gun, intend ing only to frighten a supposed tres passer, really a servant of the prisoner, but killing him. Held, manslaughter. In the King against Martin, the Srisoner ordered a quartern of gin to rink and asked a child present if he would have a drop, at the same time putting the glass-to the child's mouth, whereupon the child snatched the glass and drank the whole contents, which caused his death. Vaughan said that "as this was the act of the child, there must be an acquittal, but if it had appeared that the prisoner had willingly given a child of this tender age a quart of gin out of a sort of brutal fun, and had thereby caused its death, I should most decidedly haye held that to be manslaughter. Jn the King against Conraby, tbe prisoner and the deceased had been piling turf together, and the former, in sport, threw a piece of turf at the lat ter, hitting him and killing him. Held no crime. In the King against Waters, there was testimony that the prisoner, in the course of rough and drunken joking, pushed a boat with his foot whereby the deceased fell overboard and was drowned. There was also testimony that the push was given by another per son. Park, J, said, -if the case had rested on the evidence of the first wit ness it would not have amounted to manslaughter," and there must be an acquittal. In State against Hardie the defendant was -held guilty of manslaughter for killing a woman in an attempt to frighten her with a pistol which he sup posed to be unloaded. The court said: "If it had been unloaded no homicide would have resulted, but the defendant would have been justly cans arable for a most reckleaa and imprudent act in frightening a woman by pretending that it was loaded and that he was about to discharge it at her." Such conduct is grossly reckless and renre hensible, and without palliation or ex cuse. Human life is not to be sported with by the use of firearms, even though the person ualfig them may have good reason to believe that the weapon used is not loaded, or that, being loaded, it will do no injury. When persons en gage in such reckless sport they should be held responsible for the consequen ces of their acts. Ho Stuck to tn Premise Made Ills JUother. Charlie Owen, express messenger on the train that was wrecked just west of this town last Friday evening, was struck between the shoulders by a box, temporarily paralyzing his arms, but when offered a glass of whisky by the physicians be refused, and when the doctor urged him lie again refused.-! lnsitmff. ue nedical gentleman , and several others standing near told him he must take it to save his life. "No, sir!" said the young man, firmly refus ing. "When 1 went to railroading I promised my mother that I would never touch whisky, and I'll die here in my tracks, gentlemen, before I'll touch it" And he sat down on his safe and a box of silver .until . relieved rom duty. Few such example of heroic fortitude are met w.ith ThJ above from the Roanoke News, of the 29th ult The Knoxville Tribune commenting on.it has the following to say: The'young man mentioned is a broth er of the -agent -at Knoxville.; He is hut nineteen years of age, and has been, in the employ ottte; jSouth$f : erarea company fox a fevf nantbA oiOy.: He has been, tried ojt several toads and on eco.unt M 'totogyteWgmce and close application to duty baa been rapidly promoted by his route agent to the position of firstlass'' messenger.
