ANSWER TO "LAVIN"
(A poem writU'n by T. J. Oh uuUisheJ
Uie nalem Jus y 1
I read to-day the mournful words,
Amid the songs of Ws ond birds,
Of one, who iu my girlhood's bourn.
and 'th rue in sunny bowers,
iid talked of life so bright and fair,
The while he twirled my flowing hair
Among his locks of darkest hue,
Or Slithered there the violets blue
And wove of them a fragrant crown.
And on uiy bright curls laid them down j
And said, "I crown you now my iimvn,
And while these changeless firs are green,
To yon, my queen, will I be true.
Though soon I leave thee, Lavin fair,
V,f.uw, .,,,, .,. .n , !...!
our y0,'r f"n. J golden hair,
In my neart Dtart 1 wlU enshrine
And pour my love, like richest wine,
A willing offering at thy feet,
If tlou'lt but love me, Lavin sweet."
And I? I loved him wihllv tlum.
And plead that day, and oft again,
Unit lie would stay content with me
And cease the world to long to see.
"Cease, cease," I cried, "to dream of fame,
Nor break my heart for honored name.
Stay here with me and let me come
And help to make for you a home,
A home where nought but love and peace
Shall enter in, where nil is bliss ;
A home, 'though humble, ever blest,
Where you from toil and care shall rest
Whore oft the traveler glad to rest.
And, when departing, for you pray."
Xo, Lavin, Xo ! I w ill go," he cried,
"A name that you can went with pride
And talents that all the world revere
I will briiiir to my bride, my Laviu dear,"
He wer.t He left me all alone
For light and joy and love were gone.
In my sister's iovs I took no nart
V., 1.,.-1,-. I H.,.1 f..., ,. ... l .
llleir ,.,. ,,, 1(irrv . .
Brought nought but sorrow to my breast;
For he, my love, my king, was gone,
AniLI iu darkness and alone;
But still no doubt came in my mind, ,
That Lavin, 'though left far behind,
Iu his true heart would still be iU ?un
While skies were blue or firs were green,
Nor feared his love might ere grow cold,
Through love of faiyo or gain of gold.
Full many a suitor from my feet
I sent, no other love was sweet.
But still to me he never came,
Still lingered iu pursuit of fame
And worshipped at her lofty shrine,
And I stiU worshipped him at mine.
To happy homos my sisters went
And God to their anus children sent.
In death my parents fell asleep,
And I was left alone to weep.
While thus I grieved sad and alone,
There came a man !" T bail known
And told me of my lover's life
And that he had long since a wife,
A wife and home and children fair.
And one tlio ii.iino of Lavin I are.
I turned from hira too sick at heart
To try from pride to play the part
Of o .re'ess friendship for the :ie
So V Tl'i mi' f years agone.
He wooed me then with worils mo it kind,
And so at bust I left liehiud
"The birds, the bees, the sunshine gay,"
And went, his wife, far, far away.
He sleeps now in that far oil land
But dying, still he kissed my hand
And I f r ;.ivc him all the sin
His love for me had led him in.
My Lavin, lives, sweet child to blesa
Me with her kiss and fond caress;
And I o'er life cannot repine
Since this sweet comforter is mine;
Oh may her life ne'er know the care,
The heavy cross I've carried here.
He writes, "I've lost that faith of heart,
That forms of life the truer part."
My prayer, Heavenly Father, grant:
In his heart faith and patience plant,
And may we never meet again
By hill or dale or field or plain
Till God shall in his summer land
Unite us ever heart and hand,
There w here all souls are pure and true,
There where our lives begin anew,
There where our hearts are understood,
And all the evil changed to good,
There may we meet, ne'er, ne'er to part,
And may he see how true my heart.

From the Buffalo Courier.
I had started on aain, in a ort of
brown siinly, when a nolitary hornc-
man turned the corner right in front
of mc. I looked up, and behold !
thero was the very identical man. I
had a chance to obscrvo our ex Gov
ernor's face before ho pasted, an I a
calmer or pleasanter faeo I have not
seen in a long time. Not a shadow
of anxiety there, not a line indicating
uneabincHH or concern about the mo
mentous proceedings in Washington.
He was out lor his regular afternoon's
ride, and so far as any observer could
judge, he had left all the cares ol pol
itics behind. I have seen Gov Tilden
a number ot times in the pant few
years, but I never saw him look so
wcil as he did yesterday, sitting as
straight and firm in the saddle as an
old cuirassier, and seeming as fresh
and buoyant as a man ofiorty. Iam
told that he does not worry himself
at all about the pros and cons ot White
House possibilities, and that he heeds
but little of wi.at is published daily
on that subject. He knows exactly
what tbe situation is, and he does not
want to have his habitual composure
ruffled by keeping the run ot this,
that and tbe other new statement and
iiclosurc so-called. At all events,
ho won't allow anything in that line
to deprive him of Lis regular two
hours iu the saddle, and ho keeps tho
u i manor no. far rrnm him in hi. AAn,fii-.

daughter married a Col. Smith, but

as it probably will be to tbe committee of
ways and mean. Its provisions d.fT'ir in
several reepects from the suggestions of tbe
President, but there is retsoo to believe be
will out seriously object to thchin;es. The
bill provides lor tbe ass of tbe 30 years 4
percent bonds authorized by act of July,
1870, and by tbe redempti m act of Jan.,
1875. The amount of greenbacks to be
ifoodod Into these boods from 8100,000,000
or loss to SI 0.000,000 in any one month;
The further sum, say of 8:10,000,060 erecn
hucks, is authorized to be withdraw o Id ex
changu for subsidury silver, and to this end
coin is to be Increased to an aggregate of
830,000,000, including 8.'i0,0O0,OOO t pros-'
eat authorized. The theory of the provii
icn is that silver change will tako the place
of small greenback ones, and these are lim
ited by the act of 1SC3 to $33,000,000 ; bat
the amount now outstanding is believed to
bo below 30,000,000. No commission is
allowed for the fuuding or exchange of green
backs for bouds or silver cola. Tbe expenses
of engraving, printing, etc., of bonds, are
limited lo a quarter ot one per cent. Some
appearances have been given that tho bill
will moot with favor from both sides of tho

The Important Qucalloa.
Of all louthsoiim diseases Catarrh stands
pre eminent. It renders its victim as dis
gusting to biinsolf as to others. And tbe
most humiliating of all is the consciousness
that bis presence Is offensive to those around
him. II any disease deserves the name of
uuivnrsul, It is this. Diutio errors and the
lollies which Fashion imposes upon us tend
to foster and disseminate it. To tho pitiful
cry of its victims, is there any cure for Ca
tarrh f there is but oim snswer. God has
never sunt one evil into the world fur which
he has not sent the remedy. For the great
est of all spiritual and moral evils, the Ureat
Physician bos prescribed a potent and
never-failing remedy. He bus given ex
plicit rules for tbe treatment and preser
vation of the spiritual and m iral man, but
Ho is silent in all matters relating to the
physical man. It would be an unwurranta-1
blu detraction from II is bentiflciont character
to suppose that Ho has afllicted tlmgroater
portion of humanity with sn incurable disease.
Tim day of plagues is prist The God of
Christianity is a Uud of Love, of Mercy, Ills .
messuie is "ennd will to all men." Tbe
earth and all contained theroin was Intended
by tbe ereut Designer to supply mun'i wants;
and surely ho has no greater wants than rem
edies for his infirmities. Science Is rapidly
proving that the earth is fitted to supply
man's uttermost need. New medical plauts
are constantly being discovered and new
properties developed for those already known.
Fur Cutarrh, the most . potent remedy yet
discovered is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
Its efficacy has boon tested Id many thou
sand cubb. with uniform success. C'asei that
had repeatedly been prooounced incurable,
readily yielded to it. In confirmed, or ob
stinute cases, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery should be taken Id connection
with the uso of the Caturrb remedy. Full
particulars in Pierce's Memorandum Books.

thoroughly soft, take half for ono
day's bean soup, and uso tho other
half a few days later for baked beans.
If the beans are old drop in a small
lump or half teaspoonlul of soda.
Whcu this water boils turn it oil and
supply its placo with clean boiling
water. After the beans have boiled
in this an hour, we ehango tho water
again sometimes three times, but
nuver after tho beans havo begun to
come to pieces. Set them where
they will not boil loo hard, and cook
them four or five hours, when they
are well softened and separated. Then
we stir into this soup salt, and a. cup
of cream if we have it; if not, a table
spoonful or two of good butter. Wo
take out half of tho beans (if we have
cooked enough for two meals) before
seasoning the day's portion, and some
times thin what is left for soup with
hot water, and then put in tho cream
and salt, and boil and stir all together.
When we bake the reserved portion,
we pour it into a large dish or drip
ping pan, stir in a spoonful of salt
ami a cup of cream, or creamy milk,
and a bit ot butter, and bako an hour.
I cannot believe that anp ono who
tries it would prefer "pork and beans"
to this. The most common mistake
in cooking beans is to cook them too
littlo. This is tho cause of their flat
ulent tendency, and such result may
bo prevented by thorough cooking.
The frequent changes of the water
takes away tho strong flavor which is
diagreeable lo many.
