If we kner tbo woo and heartache
Waiting; for ugdonn tho road,
If our llpa could taito the wormwood,
If our backs could feel the load,
Would we waste the day In wishing
For a time that ne'er can bet
Would wo wait with such Impatience
For our ships to como from sea?
If we knew tho baby finxeri,
Tressed against tbe window pane,
Would be cold and stiff to-morrow
Nerer trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frown upon our browt
Would the print of rosy Angers.
ex us then as they do now T
Ah 1 these quiet, lee-cold fingers,
Itow they point our memories back,
To the hasty words and actions,
Strewn along; our backward track 1
How thpso llttlo hands remind ui.
As In snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns, but roses,
For our reaping by and by,
Strnngo wo never prize the muslo
Till the sweet voiced bird Is flown j
Strange that we should slight the violet
Till tho lovely flowers have gone;
Strange that summer skies and sunshine
Nerer seem one half so fair,
As when winter's snowy pinions
Shako the white down In the air.
Lips from which the seal of silence
None but Qod can roll away
Never blossomed In such beauty
As adorns tbe mouth to-day;
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume
Come to us with sweeter accents
Through tho portals of the tomb.
Lot us gather up the sunboams
Lying all around our path:
Let us keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaff;
Let us llnd our sweetest comfort
In tho blessings of to-day,
With tbe patient hand removing
All the briers from our way.
M. Vcrdiivin's Candidacy.
HOW THE HEPBESENTATIVE OF HIS
WIFE WAS ELECTED TO THE
ASSEMBLY.
1.
Should you ever happen to visit the De
partment of Trois-Etoiles and mention the
uamo of JI. Verdavln, it is safe betting that
your interlocutor, no matter who ho may
be, will exclaim .
"Verdavinl Well of all ambitious, in
triguing men I ever met, Verdavm was the
worst I"
However, now that the vox poputi has
pronounced upon my old friend, permit mo
to have the honor of introducing to you the
real Veruavin, that you may compare him
with Verdavin tbo legendary.
11.
Born of honest but not poor parents,
Amedeo such was bis uamo had from
bis childhood up one single care, to live
quietly and cosily on the 30,000 francs a
year bequeathed him by his pa and ma.
lie had a cheery little town residence love
of a country house; in spring he made a
little trip tn Paris, in summer he fished, in
autumn ho shot, in winter there was tbo
flub. Nothing could have been pleasanter.
Nevertheless Amaileo perceived that
something still was lacking in li is life. Ho
wanted some one to keep his accounts and
overtee his expenditures. How was he to
get rid of this business which threatened
his idleness and placidity? lie made up his
mind to take a wife.
She whom he had chosen was a young
girl of candid brow but full ot resolution, a
fact which had guided Verdavin in his se
lection. He had said to himself, "She will
have will enough to seo after all my busi
ness nfljire.an.l I shall be saved any trouble
iu such matters."
III.
Yon moon that shone above, round as Ihe
crown of bis hat,had not yet filled her horn
six times after their marriage when one
fine morning my lady summoned her bus

One pleasant morning it was just a week
before the election Madame aroused at
early dawn M. Verdavin, who was still
sleeping soundly, not having Indeed re

back districts until 2 a. m.
"Amedee," 6he cried, "rouse yourself;
the honor of our name has been vilely thrust
under foot and trodden in the dust, and you
must avengo it." And sho handed the un
happy man a newspaper in which he read
tho following t

"What do yott know of Hancock?' tho poll.

Unto the honest voter, and wisely wagged his
head ;
What does he know of State affairs, of quel
tlons deep and grave,
Whose life has all been spent In war, though
gallant he and brave?"
"What do I know of lleneock ?" the voter
made reply,
And arched his forehead oddly, a twinkle In
his eye,
What do I know of Hancock? Just what
you'd like to know
About a certain candidate who halls from
Ohl-o. ,
I know he got his title by valiant battles
won,
That no State governor fixed his stars for ser.
vice never done ;
That from his first hot battle he did not swift
recoil,
To pose before the galleries and speculate In
oil.
"He did his fighting on the field where men
were often hurt,
And so has no temptation now to wave tho
bloody shirt;
He sees the men who stacked their arms, sa
lute tho Stripes and Stars.
And speeds tho household gods who hide the
bloody tracks of Mars.
"I know ho carries scars to-day that tell a
tale to me
Of purer reveronoo for the flag than any clvlo
plea ;
Tho blood he shed ot Gettysburg still holds
his heart and head,
And pleads for peace and unity by all the ta.
cred dead.
"I know his speech Is homoly, though plain
to understand,
And that there is some knowledge he has not
Just at hand;
I truly aoubt if catechized ho could sincerely
say
Ho understood De Goljer or Credit Moblllor,
"He has old-fashioned notions tho fathers
counted Just,
And thinks official salaries Impose offlolal
trust;
He would not sell his Influenca for any prof
fered feo,
And smirch his country's credit for a base
monopoly.
"His politics aro plain enough, an honorable
peace,
Such peace as Lincoln promised when bo
heard tbo cannon cease ;
With State to State, and heart to heart, and
charity o'er all,
The banner of the Union set by every hearth
and ball.
"His politics are praotlcal, his politics are
Just,
And so, like Andrew Jackson, we take him
now on trust;
And following his leadership we'll march,
both Blue and Q ray,
To rich and ripe prosperity, to peace and love
for aye."

AN IOWA LAD.
An exciting encounter occurred recently
at the farm bouse cf Daniel Solomon, ten
miles south of Hastings, Iowa. Mr. Solo
mon was away at tho time, and his son had
recently sold two thousand five hundred
bushels of corn, for which be had been paid
in cash. It is supposed that this fact became
known outside of tho family. Mr. and Mrs.
Solomon usually occupied a front room on
tho first floor, but, during the absence of her
husband, Mrs. Solomon had gone into an
adjoining room to sleep with her two young
children. They had been iu bed but a short
time and had not yet gone to slept, when
Mrs. B. and her sou Logan, who sleep up
stairs, heard the front door open. Logan is
a youth of but eighteen, but is a giant in
strength, and has unlimited pluck. Ho
arose and quietly slipped down thestairway,
when bo heard tbe following conversation
between tbe two men:
"Does anybody sleep In the other room ?"
asked the first.
"No, replied the second. I think not."
Ujion this Logan jumped from the stair
way into tbe room in which the voices were
heard. One of the robbers fired iu tbo di
rection of the sound, the report of bis pistol
being followed instantly by two shots from
his accomplice. None of tbe shots took ef
fect, however. In another moment the
heroic boy was engaged In a hand to band
struggle with both villians. With a super
human effort he threw one of them across
the room, and, getting the bead of tho other
under his arm, he took bis pistol from him
and shot him through the bead, killing him
Instantly. He dropped the lifeless body of
bis assailant to the floor, and throwing the
pistol down, started for a neighbor's house
and informed him of what be bad done.
Tbey both returned to the scene, and light
ing a candle, were horrified to find that tbe
victim was a well-known lad of tbe neigh
borhood. The other man, being so roughly
handled by Logan, bad picked himself np
and fled. Tbe dead man had always here
tofore borne a good reputation.
A MATTER OF SHOUT CASE,
There is one man In Milwaukee that
don't want any more prince and princess in
his'n. When Leopld and Louise were there
a policeman found a west side man talking
to two bootblacks out In tbe alley by tbe
Plankington house. He had something
don up In a koapkin and was giving tb
boys some instructions and telling them to
keep it dark. The whole thing looked sus
picious to tbe policeman and he nabbed the
whole party. The roan looked as though
he would sink, as the policeman opened the
napkin and found a half of a strawberry
short-cake on a plate. The cop asked the
man to explain. "Well, says he, as he
wiiied tbe perspiration from bis face,tbe old
woman is lightning on strawberry short
cakes, and to-night we had one lor supper
which was simply elegant. As we were
eating supper the old woman says to me, Jo
siab,l'll Ull you what to do. You just take
half of this short-cake down to tbe princess.
I know she never tasted anything like lt,and
ibe would opproclate It mor'n money.
Well, like a consarned fool I took it down
to the hotel, and went up stairs to the par
lur and rapped. A condemned Englishman
came to the door aud asked me what hi
wanted. I told him about the shortcake,
and he said the princess was pmtty well
fixed for short cake, and he helped me
down (he stairs. Now, I don't want to take
tha short cake back home, and make my
wife fuel bad, so I was just hiring these
boys to cat it, and to Uke tbe plate back to
