"SOME SWEET DAY."
'Tid sweet to wait it" only hope remain;
'Tin sweet to ilrtam of peace that is to
rout';
"f is joy to phsl the rooj;h anil weary way,
If only this I know "'twill lead inc
home."
All, 'twould lie hard the parting word to
ny,
To give the last caress and he alone,
Hut that u soil voice tells me, "some sweet
day
Those eyes will look attain into your own."
' Twerc hard to see earth's loved ones still
in death;
(ill, liiller task to lay them cold, away!
Hot angels whisper low with heaven's own
breath ;
"Ho comforted, sad heart, till that sweet
day."
(Ih, haste sweet day when partings shall he
o'er;
When hitter tears shall lie wiped away;
When hlecding hearts shall sorrow never
more,
And join the heavenly song of "some
sweet day!"

ItKART. A Baltimore special says: The con
tracting parties at a marriage at All
Saints l'rotestant Episcopal church last
night wore Miss Kinily F. Owem and
Samuel Garner. The bride is the young
est daughter of the laic Isaie Owens,
and the groom is the prufessir of Ian
guagos at the United Stales Naval Acad
emy, Annapolis. Both are considerably
over 111) years of aye. Twelve years or
so ago, the story goes, Mr Garner and
Miss Owens were fast friends. Both
were well educated and good looking and
ill were well off ill this world's goods
There was only one barrier which pre
vented a marriage, and that was the re
ligious difference of the couple. Mr,
Garner was a continued iulidel, whili
llie lady was a devout believer in Chris
tianity, lie hoped to win the lady, but
she was tinu and sai l she would marry
none but a Christian. The gentleman
ould not bring himself to believe the
doctrines of Christianity, ami, swing that
his pursuit of the hand of Miss Owens
was hopeless, lie determined to try to
forget her.
With this end in view he went to the
far west. There, alter a while, he tpi'ite
accidentally became a boader in a house
of ti minister of the goipol. The divine.
thinking the young ui.iu a hopeless iufi
did not try to change his thought?
to things Chiislian. In a few years hi
nolicied iu what perfect harmony the
minister and his wife lived together, and
then for the iirst time he began to real-
ue that perhaps it was better tor a mail
and wife to be Christians than for them
to hold differeut opinions ou religioii
All hope for a wedding with his first
love had long died out. To him she was
nothing but a memory, but he asked the
divine (o lend him some religious books
which request was gladly complied with
and iu due course Samuel Gat ucr became
a Christian man. Ily corresponding with
friends in lialliuiore, to his delight he
found that Miss Owens was still uuuiar
ricd. Letters were at ouee exchanged
between Miss Oweus aui Mr. Garner
and he set out for Uullimore.
The culmination of the story occurred
when (lie two happy hearts became one
At the celebration of the uuptials there
was a large assemblage and many present
were received by the happy couple. They

EYES OF GREAT MEN.
Ad occulist who has made the human
eye a study for thirty years and who has
examined many famous uicu't eyes, de
clared that the "thoroughbred American"
eye was tteel blue in color.
"Would you say that black eyed
and browned eyed men are deficient iu
iutellect?"
"Not that, to be sure, since history
has afforded anine exumples of men
whose eyes possessed this pigment. Hut
undeniably among the people of higher
civiliialiou eyes grow lighter iu hue,
ami there are far more blue eyed persons
than thorn were a ccnlury ngn. If you
will be at paint to inquire the color of
the eyes of Rismarck, Ulad.tone, IIux
ley, Virchotr, Buchuer, and Kenan, in
fact any of the living great as well as the
great at my of the dead who in life dis
tinguished themselves, you will learn that
most of them had or liavo eyes of blue or
gray. It has seemed to mc that the pig
ment is in the way, that it obscures the
objects presented to the tisulur organ
and that the aspiring mind seeking the
greatest light casts it off." Philadelphia

A HKAl'TIFIX HEVENTKEN-YEAIt (ll.I)
lllltl, AKKKSTK1) Full llultsE STEAL
INtl. A l'arkersbur
, West Virginia, spec-
ciat says:
There is now iu progress here a trial,
begun yesterday, of a seventeen-year-old
girl named Ktta Robinson, whose life
ii for the past six months been full of
sensations, j he charge against her is
horse stealing, mid the circumstances at
tending the Clime is very romantic.
Six mouths ago Ktta was visiting her
brother, who resides in the adjoining
county of l'ulnam, and is engaged us a
farm hand by Thomas llandly, a wealthy
real estate owner. One morning Ktta
was missing, and also a fine horse be
longing to Nathan McCoy.
After u search for Home days through
out the neighborhood, including some ol
the roughest of West Virginia's hills
and thickest ravines, the horse was found
in the girl's possession near the Ohio
river. While her pursuers were deba
ting what to do with her, Ktla dashed
into the Ohio, slill on horseback, and en
deavored to swim across. She was cap
tured and placed in jail, but broke out
and returned to her brother, when Mc
Coy, from whom she had stolen the horse,
took pity on account of her youth and
refused to prosecute her.
A short time afterward a horse belong
ing to a tanner named smith was miss
ing. Just at I lie time the low country
in the Kanawha valley was nil flooded.
The horse was tracked to the edge of the
waters. 1 lie next day both httantm the
horse were found in a hollow. The girl
had swain the stream, a mile wide
on horseback. She slept out at night,
living on what she could steal. For the
second time her youth protected her and
she was not prosecuted.
Six weeks later she stole a horse from
hewis Lesley. She was pursued across
the Ohio, captured and brought hack to
the l'utnam county jail. She was con
fined there several weeks, in which time
her winning ways won her the couli
d.'iico of the jailor, who allowed her
many privileges. Two weeks ago he
awoke lo find the fair maid gone, hav
ing cleverly made her escape by cutting
through an old wall. It. was after
wards found that she had stohu a suit
of men's clothes, stolen a line horse,
temporarily in the jailor's possession,
and tied the country. She was finally
captured with the horse still in her pos
session near her old home. During her
escapades she bad lived on berries, com,
or anything she could liud, aud alone
wandered through the wildest and most
dangerous tertitory.
This young adventuress does not steal
fr on any other than simply the love of
excitement aud adventure. Iter face
glows wilh youth and apparent inno
cence, and her every look aud action
deny that her peculiar conduct is from
evil motives. Her beauty and general
excellence iu many ways have created a
vast deal of sympathy in her favor. The
trial will probably last a week.
COURTSHIP IN AUSTRALIA.
"How did you manage to win her uf
feetioiis so quickly, Dau? The recipe's
worth knowing."
"Oh, that was simple enough," replied
he. "The first night that I arrived at
the lodging house iu Auckland I found
myself silting next to a young woman at
supper, who I soon found was one of the
newly arrived emigrants. I looked her
over and saw she wasa round,strong,cheiry
looking lass, with a laughing face, aud
thought she'd do. I didn't know how to
go fooliu' arouud her (as I am certain
you would have done, sir; no offense lo
you), but just spoke a word ortwo wilh
her, and when out in the passage, gave
her a soueeieaud a kiss, she says, 'How
dare you?'
"Says 1, 'I wjnt to marry you, my
dear.'
"'Marry me!' cries she, laughing;
'Why I don't know you."
" No more do I you, my deal,' says I
'so that unites it all lair and iiial.'
"She didn't know how to pot u chap
per on I hal. so she ou'y l.uljieil, an I
aaid she couldn't think of it."
"Not think of il,' says I, uril'ul-like,
'not when you have come all these thou

'"What do you lueau?' aaya she, star

PAPER BAGS AS BUSTLES.
IT WILL NEVEll 1)0, (Illtl.S,
I'AI'KIl 1IAIH.
There is a woman in the west end
who has learned a lesson that nill la-t
her a life time. She has been for years
wearing these paper hugs, such us the
grocers use, for hustles. The paper is
stiff and slicks out splendid, mid makes
the dress look well Last Sunday morn
ing, while she was dressing, her young
son got in the room and blew the paper
hag full of wind und lied n strong string
around the mouth of it in n chair. The
good lady took it and tied it on, and
dressed herself for church. She bribed
her husband to go lo church wilh her,
though he is a sott of a Bob lugersoll
Chrislinu. As they went down I lie aisle
the minister was reading a hymn about
' Si hi n 1 1 i ii ; the Loud Ilosanua," and the
lady went iu the pew first, and sat down
while her husband was putting his hat
on the floor. There was a report like
distant thunder. You have heard bow
those confounded papier bags explode
when boys blow them up und crush
them between their hands.
Well, it was worse than that, and
everybody looked at the husband, who
was standing there a perfect picturo of
amazement. He looked at his wife as
much as to say: "Now this is the lust time
you will catch me in a church if you are
going to play any of your tricks on me.
You think you can scare me into getting
religioii." The minister stopped reading
the hymn, and looked over his spectacles
ut the newcomers as though it would not
surprise him if that bad man should blow
the church up. The poor lady blushed
and looked around as much to say : "I
did not know it was loaded," and she
looked the book over for the hymn,
and as the choir rose to sing she offered
one side of the book to her husband, but
he looked mad und pious, and stood at
the other cud of the pew and looked out
of the stained-glass wiudi w.
After thescivice they started home
together, aud as they turned the first
cornel he said to his wife : "Well, you
played the dickns on your watch, didn't
you?'1 She said there was no such thing
in the Bible, but that she would make
that boy think there had beeii no revision
of the Bible when she got home. We
only got llie stury from the husbaud.
He said he didn't know what it was that
made the noise until they got home, und
after u little skirmishing around his w ife
held up a bursted paper hag, und asked
the boy if he blew that bag up. He said
he did, but he did not know there was
anything about it. The boy aud his
mother and a press board paid a visit to
the buck kitchen, and there was a sound of
revelry. Hoys will be boys. F.x.

when he does up his sentiment in blank
Velse :
"l wouid flee from the city's rule and

grows on its goose; where the catnip tree
is climbed by the eat as she clutches for he

his drum and the woodclmck chucks bis
wood, and the dog devours the dogwood

"O, let me drink from the muss grown
pump, that was hewn from the pumpkin

A SOUTHERN WOMAN'S CHARMS.
SHE LOOKS LIKE A l'H'Tl UE
(ll.I) IIEAUTV HOOK.
The charm of the Southern woman is
in it that she knows so much, is not that
her gowns are the very latest style, or
that she aspires to any high degree of
physical culture, but that she is essential
ly a Woman. She is a happy girl, she
expects to he married some day, and she
expects to bj a mother some; day. She
doesn't think all this out, but still if the
ll( stioll Were to be put to her she Would
tell you that it was the truth. She does
not wear a taylur made gown with the
chic ol' the New York girl, but is won
derfully bewitching in the while one that
she dons iu an evening, and in w hieh,
just now, she looks a hit like a picture
taken It'oiii one of the old Beauty Books.
She wears a full, plain skirt, a bodice
that is cut round at the neck, showing
llie while, tint; flesh, und the sleeves are
the veritable baby sleeves that are so ex
iptisitely modest and yet which show the
entire arm. About her waist is a white
ribbon belt, and just in flout is a buckle
set with brilliants that grandma wore in
her dancing d is. Her hair is knotted
low on her Uu.k, and just on one side is
placed a great creamy white rose. She
will tell you that she heard that beautiful
girl who married the Duke of l'ortland
inclined lo wearing n flower iu this way,
and then she remembers that there was a
picture home of so'iie aunt who was
famous in her time, and who had her
nue placed just so, and from it she
learned the proper method of arrange
ment. Now, this is a pen aiid-iuk pho

may be speaking to some who are under
very severe trials I feel crsuaded I

God the Holy Ghost to lay it home to

never leave thee nor forsake thee." God
will not fail you though yotl fail yourself.
Though you faint, he faintest not, nei hi r

you are strongest there; resort to youi

Oh, tell it not in (lath, that Israel

lionise Seboeuiaker, a retty blonde,
only 1") years old, has been missing from
her parents' residence for over a year.
All efforts to find the missing girl jroved
futile until this morning. When Ser
geant Kenny was informed that a young
white girl was kept a prisoner iu a room
in the rear of the barber shop on Felic
ity strcct.belwceii Unlades and Baronne,
by a negro named tins Reed, the police
ivpaircil to llie place, ami, mining it
closed, bloke open the door iu the rear
of the shop.
As the door swung back a horrible
Mailt greeted the eyes of the sergeant.
Standing iu the centre of the room was
the frail form of a white girl, her Hacked-
ness luing hid by a tattered and toru nn-
.irmeiits. Her face was as pale lis
death, while her eyes gleamed in a most
liNii ilur.il in. inner. As the sergeant en
tered llie room she rushed toward him
with a wild cry and clung tremblingly to
ais arm, repeating a half doz-n times iu
iteous tones, "Save me, save me."
Kenney attempted to console the poor
creature, but her mind being somewhat
unbalanced, she could not at once under
stand what be meant. It was only after
repeated usuruucc that she was now in
fiieudly hands I hat the unfortunate girl
realized her position and beciiuic quiet.
She was much emaciated and bad a look
of terror on her still pretty face.
The policeman immediately secured
clothing, and upon questioning the girl
learned that she had been locked up iu
the room by Heed for about a year, and
was compelled to live with him as his
wife. Sergeant Kenney immediately
sought Iteed, lound mm in the shop, auu
placed him under attest. The culprit
was taken to the st alien and charges
