She was beat tifu: and lovely, and the soft beams of he V-rLu- charms fell upon another heaH rJ r:e!ttd its frozen channel into a gjsM ir.z trc.ir.i of affectionate ardor and devc o". He showed her his heart, rich will urbo.i.t affection and a devotion given o GoJ.

Just lxfore she bade him good-bye, shd penned hirn a letter, rejecting his proposal. ar.d the sentiment of her letter and his re-;:- have been translated in the following Thine eye is eloquent.

Va::rr.v. by the love I give Thv heart shall low With a new dame, And from its now sealed fountain There shall rlow A in that olden time, The same sweet current of delight, That once he knew; And in mv bosom's ni'ht V-ca: !ike the balmy breath of Max k-ir.g the frosts and gtoom Of Winter all a war.

A Smile or the Sea. Nearly four centuries ago Columbus, the adventurous, in the bieed. Island of Cuba saw happy peopL with rolled leaves be tween their lips. Above" their heads w ere little clouds of smoke. Their faces were serene; and in their eyes was the autumnal heaven of content. These people were kind, innocent, gentle, and loving. The climate of Cuba u the friendship of the earth and air, and of this climate the sacred leaves were born the leaves that breed in the mind of him who uses them the cloud less, happy days in which they grew. These leaves make friends and celebrate with gentle rites and vows of peace. They have given consolation to the world. They are the companions of the lonely, and-friends of the imprisoned, of th exiled, of workers in mines, of fellers in forests of sailors on the desolate seas ; they are the givers of strength and calm to the vexed and wearied minds of those who build with thoughts and dream the temples of the soul. They tell of hope and rest. They smooth the wrinkled brows of care, drive fears and strange dreads from out the minj, and fill the heart with rest and peace. Within their magic warp and' woof some po'ent, gracxouft.pe!; imprisoned lies, that when released bv fire, doth sbftlv steal witnin the fortress of the brain and bind in sleep the captured sentinels of care and grief. These leaves are the friends of the fireside, and theii smoke, like incense, rises from myriad of happy homes. A MIXTURE. EDITORIAL ETCHINGS EUPIIONI OUSLY ELUCIDATED.

Strong reasons make strong actions, 'l ime and opportunity lost is eternally lost Sullivan is out on bail, an appeal having been taken to the Supreme Courf. Has a finger in the pie The butcher who loses a digit in a mincing machine. . Wit should be used as a shield for defence, rather than a sword to wound others. Great things are not accomplished by idle dreams, but by years of patient study. More failures are to be attributed to efforts misdirected than to the want of exertion. When a man cries "Hoe there!" is he not trying to "cultivate" your acquaintance? The secret of life is not to do what one likes, but to try to like what one has to do. It cannot be denied thaf amusement is one of the most powerful influences of life. A certain railroad conductor is named Judy. A sort of punchin Judy as it were. The police have awful big revolvers. One covered a striker with one a few days A woman at Trenton, Kan., seized and hleld four of her neighbor's children for debt. We always like those who admire us. We do not always like those whom we admire. Irish employer (to clerk) -"Don't know the man's address? Well, write to him and find out!" There are a good many things besides a ocomotive that a man will not throw over lis shoulder. A hawk may get the rooster after break :ast, but before breakfast the rooster always takes a crow. If we had no defects ourselves we would not take so much pleasure in discovering those of others. Calumny is often the homage of our con temporaries, as some savage tribes spit on hose they honor. A Rochester girl has an admirer who hi ways brings her chewing gum. She calls iim her gumbeau The platform adopted by the Democratic State Convention of Virginia strikes us as peing unexceptionable. The fraudulent old beau who dyes his air has no right to be writing to any girl ibout his undying love. A Vermont farmer claims to have some cattle that laugh. They are the laughing stock of the neighborhood. ' ;That was a horrible cigar you gave me this morning, Jack." Yes I know it .was. That's why I gave it to you." Guest (from the. wild West) "Give me a tip-top room." Hotel Clerk (to hall boy) "Take him up to the garret." Speaking of "the last words of famous men," we haven't sufficient tpace at our command to give Noah Webster's. Scientists state that enough rain has fallen in Pennsylvania this year to fill a lake one thousand miies square-, and thirty five feet deep. Hunter "Where is Schmidt?''

King Humbert, of Italy, has confirmed honors on Edison, the famous (American electrician, by which he become a count and his wife a countess. " Who ttruck Dilly Patterson? hi never yet been satisfactorily answered. Bpt after the election next fall it won't be hardto tell who struck Billy Mahone. ! A weapon is anything that can serve to w ound ; and sentiments are perhaps th most cruel weapons man ca;. empiov to ibjjre and wounc his fellow-man. All over the Commonwealth of Virginian there will be a grand tallying undenthe banner of Phil McKir.ney. His white phime will lead the wav to victory. Nothing sharpens the arrow of sarcasm so keenly as the courtesy that polishes iL No reproach is like that we clothe with a smile and present with a bow. The cotton worm has appeared in the Mississippi valley and the gulf States, and it is believed there will be a great falling o2 of the crop in those regions. Last Saturday was pay-day in the Wllkes barre mining region of Pennsylvania. There were three murders on that day, and yet w e are sending missionaries abroad. The average size of an American family of the defense of Deputy Marshal Xagle. according to statistics, is 4.13. The fraction probably stands for the old man. Hon. John G. Carlisle is now in Mexico, and is receiving more attention than has been accorded to any citizen of the United States since Gen. Grant visited that country. Robert Marvel, an S6-year old Indianan, has lived for sixty-six days without food ex cept a litle milk, less than a gallon in all This is a marvelous performance for one so old. American girls seem to have a weakness for titles, so many of them give themselves and their fortunes away to no account fel lows just to get a Count or somthing of that sort. There are more people, abusive to others than lie open to abuse themselves, but hu mor goes round, and he that laughs at me to day will have somebody to laugh at him to-morrow.- Reports from Virginia indicate that the Republican Convention soon to assemble at Norfolk will .be almost unanimous for Mahone for Governor. There will be only a scattering of "Kickers" in the Convention. Russell Harrison says when he dined with Queen Victoria he had four kinds of pie. He loves pie, and royal pie, such as Queen Victdria builds, he fairly revels in.. He may be a dude but he Is piously inclined Blocks-of-five Dudley is credited with saying that the Republicans would "put some elixir of life into the Virginia politi cians before we get through with them." Dr. Wanamaker has demonstrated that he is a political physician of great ability. The latest scientific whim is a surgical operation for the benefit of piano-players clipping a cord between the third and fourth fingers. What a long-suffering public de mands of science is something that will benefit the entire neighborhood wherin the player resides. Ability is often re-enforced by necessity. I le that will suffer himself to be discouraged by fancied impossibilities, may sometimes find his abilities invigorated by the necessity of verting them at short intervals, as the force of a current is increased by the con traction of its channel. The new tewn on the Atlantic Coast Line between' Fayetteville and Marion, S. , C, continues to grow. Last Christmas there stood the depot, a magnificent structure, single-handed and alone, while to-day, a gentleman of this place, who has just paid a visit to that section, tells us there are at present about 30 or 4o buildings there, including seven or eight stores, and busi ness is going right along. Mammoth Cave, says the Journal of Ed ucation, the largest in the world, near Green river, Ky., has been explored ten miles. About twenty rooms have been discovered, and here are found subterranean streams waterfalls and pits of unknown depth. Sev eral of the rooms are of great extent, and have received appropriate names. The Haunted Chamber is two" miles long, t.venty feet high and ten feet wide, the roof being supported by 'beautiful pillars. Ex-Senatcr Kellogg, of Louisiana, says Harrison by his appointments in that State has thrown away what little chance the Republicans had of carrying the third con gressional district. He also intimate rather strongl v that the Louisiana delegation in the next Republican national convention will oppose the re-nomiration of Harrison. All of thi i very interesting, but the fact should not be -forgotten that Kellogg has a very sore head to greate with official ointment. .The. Treasury Surplus u given at SjcSoo.oco, the highest pcint reached since la-t October, Adding the fractional silver, which is real I v and asset if not "available," j the Surplus is nearly Sioo.ooo.ooo. In Cen. ' Harrison Vcatr.pain speeches last year he pooh-poohed the Surplus queston as onecf ! no importance. All the Governifcent had to do, he said, to prevent an accumulation of money embarrassing to business, was to buv bonds. Whv doesn't Secretary Win-. 1 t dom buy them? Is he saving the Surplus - ! for Congress to squander? STATE NEWS. 1UOM THE DEEP BLUE SEA TO TIIE GRAND OLD 3IOTXTAIX. Au Hoar Ilemutly Sieut With Oar Delightful ExrhauKtu.
