EVENING EDITION.
H1BUCEUBS,
TAMES RUSSELL LOWELL
Ht;rs all tbat life could promise or bestow
Yiiu b, beauty, love, a crown, the beckoD
ing years;
Lida to be pearled with oute but j yous
tears;
A life unsoiled with any vulgar woe,
And by a natiou'a swelled to a lordlier ilow;
Wbat luiktcg place, we thought, for doubts
or fears
WbeD a wbite swan, she swam along the
cheers
Of the Alcala but five brief months ego?
The cannon shouted hymeneala then
Tbat on her birthday now denounce her
doom;
Tje same white steed?, that tossed their
scorn of men,
To-day as haughty drag her to the tomb?
Grim jest of Fate! yet who dare call it
blind
Who knows what life is, what our human
kind?

Recorder,
Tne Wilmington MoaNraa Stab has entered upon
the thirteenth year of its existence, and we take
this opportunity to congratulate it upon its prospe
rity and deserved popularity. The remarkable suc
cess of the Stab is due to its strict attention to
business. The boast of the Stab (rightfully too).
is that it always has the news, and this Is the first
thing in journalism. Otherwise the paper is all
that the term of "good newspaper" implies, and Its
corps of editors and reporters are thoroughly edu
cated newspaper men. May the healthful, moral
influence of the Stab never be retarded, and may
its genial, enterprising proprietor enjoy many more
happy years of usefulness. Goidsboro Messenger.
