Unquenchable,
My love is like the dewy roue
She wears upon her breast,
Her breath is like the wind that blows
Balm-laden from the west;
Her smiles are like the sunlight shed
Qn wavelets as they roll,
And rtfc4be blue sky overhead,
Her purity of soul.
Her generous thoughts are like the rain
That falls on high' or low;
Her kindly gifts to age and pain
None but the wretched Vrwvr,
Her sympathies are broad as day
And starry as the night,
And when t here's darkness on the way
Her presence sheds a light!
Such were mv thoughts when Lore
was young. Jew-'

One Standard for both Sexes.
Josiah Allen's children have been
brought up to think that sin of any
kind is just a bad in a man as in a
woman, aud any place of
amuecinent mat was bad for a wo
nan to go to was bad tor a man.
Now, wueo Thomas Jefferson was
a little feller, he was bewitched to
go to a circuses, aud Josiah said:
"Better let him go, Samautha, it
hanit no place ibr women aud girls,
but it wont hurt a boy."
Says 1, "Josiah Alter, the Lord
made. Thomas Je Arson with juste
as pure a heart He Tirzah Ann, and
uo bigger eyes and ears, and il
Thomas Jefferson goes to the circus,
Tirzah Ann goes loo."
That stopped that. And then be
was bewitched to get with other
boys that smoked and chewed to
bacco, and Josiah wa of just that
easy turn that he would have let
him go with 'em. But says 1:
'-Joatah Allen, if Thomas Jeffer
sou goes with those boys and gets
to ehewio' and smoking' tobacco, I
shall buy Tirzah Ann a pipe."
And that slopped that.
"Aud about drink in", if it should
be the will of Providence to change
you into a wild bear, 1 will chain
you up and do the best I cau by you.
But if you ever do it yourself, turn
yourawf "mio a wild beat by drink
in', i : Will run aw-y, tor 1 n5Tor
could stand it, tie vet! And," I con
tinued, "if ever l see Tuotuas Jefler-
ison banging' round bar-rooms and
i a ver u doors, iium Ann shad bang
loo."
Josiah argued with me. Says he:
"U d often t look so bad (or a boy
as it dues for a girl."
Says I: "Custom makes no differ
once., we are mote used to seeing
gos u work to make a iool ana a
hruie ot anybody, it don I slop to
ask about sex, il maker a wild beast
aud idiot of a man or a woman, and
lo look down from heaven, I guess a
man look? as bad lyiu' dea dri nk
as a woman does.''
Says I: 'Things look differently
from up there than what they do to
us. it is a more nightly place. And
you talk about look, Josiah Allen.
I don't go on took.-; I go on priueU
p e. Will the Lord say to me in the
last day, 'Josiah Allen's wite, how is
it with the soul of Tirzah Ann as
for Thomas Jefferson's soul, ho bein'
a boy, it haint of no account?" No! I
shall have to give an account to him
for my dealin's with both of tbe-e
souls, malo and female. And I
should feel guilty if I brought fiim
up to think thai what uas impure
for a woman was pure for a man. If
a man uas a irreuier uuie vo uu

J, kjokin' keenly onto JoR.ah, ho haa

cent, but firm afi old Plymouth
Rock, 'it Thomas Scfferson hangs,
Tirzah Ann shall bang too."
i have brought Thomas Jefferson
up to think that it was just as bad
for him to listen to a bad slory or a
song as for s girl, or worse, for he
had more power to run away, and
that it was a disgrace for him to
tajk or listen to any btutf that be
would be ashamed lo have Tirzah
Ann or me hear, i have brought
him up to think that manliness did
n't consist in having a cigar in bis

Mr. Alien B Dills and Mr. Logan
Bumgarnei own adjoining farms,
aud have held ill feeling concermug
the bouudary line between them
for years.
Mr. Dills has claimed possesion
by virtue of occupation. And has
cut timber from the disputed land.
Tuesday the feud culminated in a
tragody which chilled the blood of
tho erilire community.
Dills was cutting limber on this
land aud Uumgarnei wished to Stop
it. lie . d his grown up son WilU

old, repaired to the place aud found
Dills there, with his wife: Some
other parties wore near by. The
two Bumgarners were going towards
Dills, the son carrying a fowling
piece, the elder one unarmed. Mrs.
Dills bailed them saying yon "had
not better come here' As they
approached, the elder Boragarner
spoke to Dills, saying, "let us go and
hud the corner Dill responded,
by saying, "there it is over there,
go aud see it if you wish," and add
fd, "don't you come any nearer
here, if you do L will shoot."
The Bumgarners eoatinusd to abV

Dills bailed them again, warning
them against approaching any near

Desertions from Stanley' Camp
A leUer has been received from
Major Barttalot. dated at Zauebar,
October 28. Be states that some de
serters from Stanley's camp reached
Singetine after a twenty days jour
ney and reported that Stanley and
his party were a'.ive and well. They
were at that time well supplied with
food and clothing, and in no danger
of immediate attack. The deserters
could give no news about Stanley 's
proposed route.
Socesgfitl Business Men-
As a general tule sucessful busi
ness men (msrchaulf, poliuoians or
baukers) were members of large
families. No bot-bed influence ol
wealth, or the petted training of an
only child dwarfed their early ef
forts at self reliance. No extra vi
gant use of unearned money smoth
ered the great lesson of economy,
without which no solid foundation
of wealth was ever laid, In early life
no lesson of caste or exclusiveuess of
blood chit ed their sociability, but
wheir mrnds were imbued with the
idea that Irue vjurih made men and
women of tho first class.
The farmer's sou raised on the
- :anty farm, or the half orphan of a
poor widow, has no carriage in
whic h to ride, so the sou soon loan
to walk to fame and fortune, in bis
youth no wealthy hand '.caches out
to sustain -and steady bis steps, so he
learns to save himself, and pushes
forward with self reliance aud con
scjous ability to distinction. Bis fa
ther with his scanty pur?, set an
example of economy which clings
tp the son through life. Ii this way
the poor boy from the farm, remov
ed from the fashionable voice ol so
ciety, comes to manhood and strikes
out boldly witn a determination to
hew his own way to character and

ThetJsaal Heaalt.
One night, last week, a young
man In Cincinnati eailcd to see the
lady oi his affections, and jest he
fore leaving, from a spirit of curiosi
ty, be picked up a twenty-two cal
ibre revolver which lay on a table
near by, but immediately put H
down, remarking that it was a dan
gerous thing to toy with. The
young lady, to make sport of her
admirer's timidity, picked up the
weapon and snapped it several times.
Three times tho hammer fell with
only the usual sharp click; growing
bold in her manipulation off the
weapon, the thoughtless girl placed
the mt.zJo to her right tempta and
again p il led the trigger, latently
a lash, accompanied by a slight re
port, resulted, and the indiscreet
young woman fell to the door. An
examination showed that the telle
had penetrated tho brain.
