Sweet souvenir apt emblem thou
Of one though absent ever donr,
Oft hare I gazeit on thco na now,
And sternly chocked the rising tear.
And oft I've kissed thee, o'er nnd o'er,
The flowers the teaves but most tho stem,
That by her touch Is hallowed more.
And dearor far, than costly gem.
HtlU In my faithful mem'ry lives
Tho nngulsh of that parting hour.
And to the cheerless present gives
a Kftunesaot oppressive- pow r,
Though fondly guarded, thou hnst lost
Home leaflets, and hast faded toot
What will our cruel severance cost,
Oil I may this symbol prove untrue.
Where never beams ntTcct Ion's sun,
Nor dews of tenderness distil j
There would sho languish, gentle one,
And tears thojo soft black eyes oft fill.
Would in my bosom I could shield
My fragile Jlowcr from every harm;
Its loveliness, now, too, concealed,
Would then unfold with sweetest charm.
Tllli UKIDlS'g MEDITATION,
Bho sits upou her little bed,
Aud muses by the musing moon;
Ere tills to-morrow she'll bo wed I
Kro this? ero this? How strangely soon 1
An obvious blank of Ignorance
Lies full across her forward way ;
And shadows cust from unknown chance,
Make strange nnd dim tho coming day,
Mho must not muse too much. Vague fear
O'er films her apprehensive- eye;
And she may swoon, with no one near,
And haply so, unmarried, die!
Her faithless dread sho now discards ;
And now romorseful memory flings,
Its glory round the last regards
Of homo and old accustomed things.
Her father's voice, her mother's eye.
Accuse her treason; nil In vain
Kho thluksherself nwUo,nnd tries
To comprehend tho greater gain.
Her unknown fortuno nothing rheers
Her loving heart's familiar loss,
And torrents of repentant tears
Their hot and smarting threshold cross.
When first within her bosom love
Took birth, nnd beat his blissful wings
1 1 seemed to lift her mind above
AH caro for earthly things;
Itut 01 too ligtitly did sho vow
To leave for nyo her happy nest ;
And dreadful Is the thought that now
Assaults her weak nud shakon breast ;
Ah t should her lover's love nbato I
And should she, miserably, loso
All dear regards of maiden state.
Dissolved by time and marriage duet t
Onco more those slckeuiug dreams alloy
Her golden hope with nameless blame ;
But dread, sho trusts, will turn to Joy,
Llkcsombrosmoko to sudden name.
With Instinct of her Ignoranoo,
The simple virgin's veiled guide,
Kho casts to Love the reins of chance,
Nor recks what henceforth shall betide :
And so, determined, the collects
Her scattered senses, much abnsed
liy fear, that monstrously reflects
(lod's ordered future nil confused.
And now to rest 1 At day's tlrst gleam
They'll come to wako her to her pride;
And weary looks would 111 beseem
Her lover's Decorated Bride.

covered with thick, coarso hair.
"Five, ten, fifteen, or twenty,ls what

"Let us raise tho anto to twenty dol

Sparks dealt the cards out, ono at

"See your hundred, and put fiCo hun

Brown ejaculated, taking a roll of bills

Brown, coolly; "It means that you got

"What do you say?" asked Sparks
"I say that you got them four aces

"Joo Sparks," returned tho other, his

but hold awhllo. I havo a low worus
to say to you. Yes, I havo a shortsory
to tell you, nud I want your attention
"Ten years ago." Brown continued,
keeping his oyes fixed upon tho faco of
Sparks, "thcro lived nuout tmrtj nines
west ofSt. Louis, ono David btnnley,
farmer.who had a daughter as good and
as beautiful as on angel you know Jiow
beautiful she was, sir, but of hor beau
ty I will not further speak. Well, this
young girl had suitors by tho score. All
tho young men for mllea around dreiim
ed, thought, and talked of her, and as
sho was not a illrt sho was more annoy
ed than otherwise- by tho attention of
bo mauy. But It is only with two
theso young men with whom wo havo lo
deal and I'll speak of them at once."
Whllo Brown was speaking, his lato
opponent stood motionless, his knlfo

his gazo fixed on tho face of Hio suppos
ed green one.
"Ono of her buIIom," tho narrator
continued, was Chattel Elton,tho son of
neighboring farmer, nnd sho lorod
him, nnd him nlono, as only such truo
and noblo women can love, and when
ho asked her to become his wife, sho
laid her head on his breast nnd told him
10 would.
"Tho other young man alluded to was
Henry Bnrdwcll, of St. Louis. Ho had
ersccuted this young girl with his at
tentions for many months, notwith
standing sho had rejected Ills offer of
marriage, and told him that she: could
nover caro for him moro than a friend.
Well, when ho heard that sho was soon
to bo married to young Elton, ho grow
madly jealous,and sworo that sho could
nover bo tho wlfo of any other than him
self." What havo I got to do with all this?"
asked Sparks, growing palo, as Brown
mado a short pause.
"I will tell you In a moment: you
must hear mo through," was tho reply,
"tho story will soon bo ended. Tho
night on which Charles Elton was to
muko Lizzlo Stanley his wifo arrived
and with a light and happy heart ho

by tho hand of Henry Bardwcll, whllo

dono from tho window of his room
where ho was confined by sickness.
"Thomurdcrer fled soon ns tho bloody
work was accomplished, and slnco Hint

him. You start when you hear mo uso
tho pronoun I, and well you may, for I
am Charles Elton, an J not green Jim
Brown, of Arkansas, as you supposed
mo to be, and you" ho bent his head
forward and hissed tho words through
hi i teeth "you aro Henry Bardwcll,
tho murderer of Lizzlo Stanloy !"
His lato opponent remained motion
less and spccchless,and Elton, as ho will
bo called hereafter, continued.
"Perhaps you doubt my word, but
will soon dispel your doubts. Look at
me now, and seo If you don't know
mo?" As ho said this ho pulled the
false, whiskers from his face, and dis
closed a handsome countenance.
tVt this Bardwcll, stepped back, but
Instantly recovering himself, ho clutch
ed his knife tighter in his hand, nud
said:
"Well, supposo this is allv truo, sup
pose you'ro Charles Elton, nnd suppose
I'm Henry Bardwell what of It?"
"Why," hissed tho other, "both of us
will never leavo tills boat nllve, that's

years to let you slip throuch my fingers
No, Henry Bardwcll you know mo too

fair play. You havo a knife nnd so havo
I. They aro as near aliko as it is possi
ble to get knives, so como up on tho
hurricane deck, and wo'll settle the nf
fair at once."
Tho two men ascended to tho upper
deck of tho steamer,followcd by a num
ber of passengers, and stopped, facing
each other just aft of tho smoko stack.
Tho captain appeared, and triod to dis
suade tho men from their purpose, but
his words had no effect whatever.
"Now, murderer, "hissed Elton as ho
raised his knlfo, "defend yourself. The
thirst for revenge is consuming mo !"
Their knives wcro raised above their
heads, and then they descended, Hash
ing brightly In tho moonlight, ami then
clashed together with a sharp sound.
Both the men wcio skilled In tho use of
tho Bowie, and It was evident to tho
pectators that the contest, us far as
trcugtli and skill was concerned, was
equal.
Fiercer and fiercer grow tho light; tho
knives Hashed up and down, and clash
ed loudly together. Each man kept his
eyes fixed on the faco of his antagonist,
and neither moved from tho position
ho had first taken.
At length, Elton, by a florco down
ward cut, knocked thu knlfo from Bard
well's hand, but tho samo blow broko
his own. They clutched each other In-
stnntly.thclroycs glowing with passion,
and their respiration hard and quick.
Back and forth they struggled with
each oilier over tho steamer's deck, nei
ther getting iho better of tho other. At
last, holding eacli 'other by tho throat
witli a vlcellko grl p they struggled to tho
railing thnt ran around tho edgo of the
deck.- Thoy struggled with each othor
moro fiercely; and their eyes started
from their very sockets. They throw
themselves against tlio railing, ns they
struggled to throw each other to tho
deck, and tho frail barrier with a sud

still holding each other tightly, went

Thero was n quick cry, n sudden

tor, and n hog's hair brush, in a room
showing at least seventy, degrees Fah
renheit. Baths should bo taken early in tho
morning, for then tho system possesses
tho power of reaction in tho highest do
grco. Any kind of bath is dangerous
soon after n mcnl, or soon after fatigu
ing oxercise. No man or woman should
tako n bath nt tho closo of tho day, un
less by tho advico of tho family physi
cian. Many a man in attempting to

od himself out of his life; aye, it is

Tho best, safest, cheapest, nnd most
universally acccsslblo modo of keeping
tho surface of tho body clean, besides
tho onco a week washing with soap,
warm water, and hog's-hnlr brush, is
as follows :
Soon oa you get out of bed in tho
morning, wash your faco, hands, neck
and breast; then in the same basin of
water, put your feet at onco for nbout a
minute, rub them briskly nil the timo;
then, with tho towel, which has been
dampened by wiping tho face, feet, etc.,
wipo tho wholo body well, fast and hard,
breast projecting. Let tho whole thing
bo dono in fivo minutes.
At night, when $oa go to bed, nnd
whonoveryou get out of bod during iho
night, or when you find yourself wako
fui or restless,'spend from two to fivo
minutes in rubbing your wholo body
with your hands, as far as you can reach
In ovcry direction. This hns a tendency
to proscrvo tho softness nnd mobility of
skin which Is essential to health, and
which too frequent washings will al
ways destroy.

It Is a swoet nnil pleasant thing to

thing to know that when our dovotcd

uncouth and unwashed clodhoppers,

of Aroby, tho colognes of Franco, tho
camphors of tho Indies, tho bay rums of
America, and last, though not least, tho

and plcasnnter thing to know that theso
distillations and fragrant compounds
aro tlio delight of Senators, and that
sucli Senators nro ours. It gives us pleas
uro, furthermore, to fcol assured that

Not to speak it profanely, pormlt us In

a law-maker from natural aptitude,
without a mug a shaving mug, wo
mean, of courso f Literally nothing.
And whnt sort of an opinion should wo
form of him If, when performing his
toilet In tlio morning, with Ills mug re
flecting in tlio glass, and his cowietiquet
and colognes and camphore,nnd twenty
boxes of lemons bcsldo him, ho burst not

ho lookedlarouud him on tho ovidencos

realizing feelingly that no other land
is in tho habit of soaping and shaving
and fumigating her legislators at hor

tuitously with fivo gallons of alcohol ?
Wo could not help looking upon him as
an ungrateful wretch, and deserving of
being cast out among tho Hindoos,
where half a dozen flesh brushes and
seven aud a half pounds of bathing
sponge might bo employed with advan
tage to their epidermises, if not to tho
