VOl' KISSED JlE.
You kissed me! my head
Dropped Jow on your breast,
With a. feeling' of .shelter,
And infinite rest;
While tha holy emotions
My tongue dare not speak
Flushed up in a flame
From my heart to my cheek.
Your arms held hit fh-.t
(Jh, your arms were ?,o hold!
H"rt beat against heart
Iii your passionate fJ I.
Your glances seemed drawing
My aoul through my eye-?,
An the sun draws themist
From the seas to the skies.
Your lip clung to mine
Till I prayed in my bliss
They 'might nevert;fic!a-p'
From that rapturous kiss.
You kissed me! my heart
And my breath and my will.
In delirious joy
For a moment stood still.
Life, had for me then
No temptations, no charms,
No vision of happiness
Outside of your arms.
And were I this instant "
An angel possessed
Of the peace and the joy
That are given the blest,
I would fling my white robes
IJiirepentiugly down,
1 would tare from my forehead
Its beautiful .crown,
To nestle once "more '-
In that haven of rest,
Your ijps upon mine
You kissed me! -h.y soul
ln a bliss so divine,
11k tied and swooned like a drunken
m;m
Foo!i;i with wine;
And thought 'twere delicious
To die there if death .
Would conu' . one my lips
Were yet nudr-t with yoar breath;
What a mercy-'twould" be
If my heart might grow cold-..
"Whileyour arms clasped me round
In their passionate fold.
And these are the questions
I :i .k day and night:
Must my lips taste no more
Such exquisite'd'.-dight?
Would you care if your breast
Were my shelter, as thvn,
And if you were here
Would you kis me again?

There, before me, was regaled the
upper portion of a man's head and
face. The eyes w ere fixed in a glassy
stare. -The exposed features wore a
ghastly pallor, and the icy touch of the
clammy forehead, with which my

imiistakably betokened tiio cliill of
death.

avert suspicion from himself by con

What was to be done? At once to

and would have been tl.o. most sensi

so fast that I eotdd see nothing bat
ieri!s on every hand. Who would
"believe my incredible storv? And
then I had-so freely expressed my
dislike of IJcIvidere Fadd of late that
every one would say tbe proofs of
J malice and motive were complete.
True, I might prove by " Khoda that j
I had no longer reason to halo poor j
Fadd, b;:t 1 '.shrank with repugnance
from the thought of bringing our hal
lowed se ret before the eyes of a coro
ner's jury.
. "Why not hide the body?" was the
question that presented itself so sud
denly that it almost seemed as if jkmi.e

in my ear. No one would he likely

culprit would be Sure to keep his lips

At the rear of the cottage was a

roses and other floral specimens, by

Stealing out quickly, at a spot where
'Bije had commenced digging a new
bed, I scooped out a long, deep hole,
tho moonlight enabling me to w ork
with eae.
The task completed, I slipped back
"noiselessly to where the corpse lay. I
had not the courage to pcrutinize il
further; but hastily, drawing up the
rhoufch of the sack, I tied it with
a
j piece of the 'cut cord, nnd nerving my. -

A MOST ROMANTIC STORY.
About ten years ago them lived in
this city a family named Sinclair, con
sisting of a father, mother and .two I
daughters. With them there was a j
young gentleman named Edward Fee. !
The family had been well-to-do at one i
time, but luck changed, and at the
time mentioned they had just enough
to live well.
One of the young ladies, Miss K .t
tie, was but thirteen years of age, and
was a dashing little brunette. Her
sister, Maggie, was fair of face and
ioft of speech, and between her and
young Fee there soon sprang up a 1
Very close attachment. He wastwen- i
ty-flvo years old and didn't have a j
great .deal of money, and shfj was just
fifteen. Their friwnhship deepened
into love as the time passed,1 and one
line day tho young man told his love.
His business w as not paying him very
well, and after much consultation with
friends, Fee left the city to make his
fortune.

Mayor De Wolfe, of this city states
that on Jiis return last week, from !
fro'ii Tennessee via the French Broad
pass he eiicounted upon the stage two
Mormon missionaries who stated that
thiy were from -'Beaver, a town in
Utah, about eighty miles from Salt
Lake. They were sent, from their
eastern headquarters at Nashville,
where the latter day saints have a
bishop or his equivalent. They said
they would spend a year at leat in
Western North Carolina nnd made no
bones of the fact that their business
was as Mormon propagandists. Vlmr

' Mr. R. G. Ingersoil, we observe,
has been allowed to occupy 'many
Iage.a in the latest number of the Xorth
American Ilevinc with what is called
a rejoinder to Judge Black's reply,
contained in a former number. If Mr.
Thorndike Bice finds this kind of con
troversy acceptable to the readers of a
once influential publication, that Is
his business altogether; but in the in
terest not only of religion but of com
mon yense, it is to Ik hoped that Mr.
Ingersoll'may be allowed to have the
field entirely to him self. Nothing lias
given this foolish man's diatribes anv
, ' - r , "
popular success or any power to harm
the Christian faith, but the misrule, n
zeal with which ministers and others
have hastened to nss-dl . .him. and
Judge Black, by entering the list to'
dispute with him, has given a dignity
to scoffing unbelief that it never would
lmve stained otherwise
It is foolish
to undertake an argument with a man
of this kind, who insists upon measur
he Infinite with his two foot rule.
