A LOVER'S TEST S. J
I bat to-day beneath the pine
And euvr the lung lake shine.
The lnd vrs weary, and the dy
Sank languidly away
Behind the forest's purple rim;
The sun was fair tor me, I lived for him.
I did not miss you. All was swwt.
Sky, earth aud soul complete
In harmony, which could nffonl
No more, nor spoil the chord.
Could I be blr&t nud j ou ninr,
"Vheie other I, or you, than what we are?
The sifted silver of the night
Rained down a strange delight.
The moon's moist bvaui on meadow roado
Tho pale bars athwart the shade.
And murmurs crept from tree to tree.
Mysterious xrhispcrs not from you to me!
I stirred the ember, roused the brand
And mused on either hand
The pedigree of human thought.
Sang, censured, chred or taught.
Pausing at each Titanic line,
I caught no echo from your soul to mine!
And last, when life recast its form
To passive rest and warm.
Ere the soft and lingering senses cease
In dcr p'r half-conscious peace.
The wish I might h&ro fashioned died
In dreams that never brosght yea to ay
side
Tarewallj my nature's highest stress
Mine equal shall possess.
Tis easier to rrnonnce, or wait.
Haply, the perfect fat.
My coldness is the haughty fire
That naught consumes except its faM de
sire! Winning a Widow.
The widow Cummukev -was standing
at tho door of her little millinery store
in Xevrark avenue the other evening, s6
Mr. CosteHo came along. Mr CwteUa
stopped.
Good evenm' to you, ma'am," said ba.
"Good evenin' to you, Mr. OosteMV
answered the widow.
"It's fine weather we're bavin' ma'aa,"
continued Mr. Costella.
"It is that, thank God," replied Mrs.
Cummiskey, "but the Winter's cocita
at last, and it comes to all both groat
ur.d small."
"Ah said Mr. CosteHo, "bat for all
tiat it doesn't coiae to us alt aiike.
Now, here are you, ma'am, fat, rosy, as'
good lookin, equally swate as a Stuaer
greenin, a fall pipnin or n Winter ras-
Arrah, Lould yer wist, now, iater
rupted the fair widow, laughing. "Meek
an old bachelor like you knows aboet
apples or women. But come in, Mr.
Costello, an take a cup o lay whk e,
for I was only standin be the tioore,
lookin' at the people passin', for coepaay
sake, like, and I'm sure the kettle ts&
have sung itself hoarse."
Mr. Costello needed no second invita
tion, and followed his hostess iaie hor
sang back room. There was a brsgfet are
burning in the little Franklin stove, the
tea kettle was sending forth a flood of
steam that took a ruddy glow from the
fire-light, the shaded lamp on the table
gave a mellow and subdued Hght to the
room, and it was all very sggwstive of
comfort.
"It's very cosy ye are here, Mrs. Cv
nuskey," said Mr. CosteHo, casting a
look of apprehension around the apart
ment "Yes,' replied the widow, as she hud
the supper, "it is that, whin I do he
havin company."
Ah," said Mr. Costello, "it nasi he
lonesome for you with only the eat and
yer cup o' lay."
"Sure it is," answered the widow.
"But take a sate and set down, Mr. Cov
tella Help yerself to this fish and don't
forget tho purtaties. Look at thdm;
they're splittin'theirEideswith laughin"."
Mr. Costello helped himself and
paused. He looked at the plump widow
with her arm in that graceful position
assumed in the pouring out of tea, and
remarked, 'Tm sensible of the comforts
cf a home, Mrs. Cummiaky, though I've
none meself, Mind now, the difference
between the taste o'tay made and served
that way and the tay they give too in
iiting houses."
"Sure," said the widow, 'there's
nothin' like a home o' yer own. I won
der ye never got xnarrit, Mr. Costello "
"1 wa3 about to make the same re
mark in reference to yerself, ma'am,'
answered Mr. Costello.
"God keep us," exclaimed Mrs. Cam
misty, "aren't I a widder woman this
seven year T
"Ah," rejoined Mr. Coslelto, "hut it's
thinkin' I was why ye didn't get roarrit
again."
"Well, its sure I am," said the widow
thoughtfully, setting down her teapot
and raising her hand by the way of em
phasis, "there never was a better hus
band to any woman than him that's dead
and gone, heaven save an'- rest-Ha sowL
He was that asy a child could do any
thin with him, and he was as handsome
as a monkey. You favor him very
much, Mr. Costello. He was about your
height and completely like' you."
"Ah l" exclaimed Mr. Costello.
"He often used to say to me in his
ban therm' way, 'Sure, 2 ora, what's the
wurruld to a man whin his wife is a
widder,' manin', you know, that all the"
timptations an' luxuries of this life can

Ah, poor John."
'It was a sensible savin', that," re
marked Mr. Costello, as he helped him
self to more fish.
'I mind the dar John died," continued
the widdow. "He knew everything to

as follow :
Craig lives at the foot of Iron Ore
hill About one hundred yards west
of his liouse is a large gate; forward
is the road to ifnyne's precinct ; to the
left is the road owr Iron Ore hill and
to Sara Overton's, where John Over
ton, the deomted, lived. On tho 16th of
December one Jim Booth was on the
side of thit hill, chopping. Craig had
gone with his gun in the direction of
Booth, and w.is som one hundred yards
from the htixe John and H&m
Overton wctv gathering ami hauling
corn from a field which the former hud
rented fruni Craig, about which there
had been some tuiploasantuess.
This field was situated noorly a quar
ter of a mile northwest of Craig's, and
fiotn the point in the field wLcre they
were gathering there was a direct road
to Sam Overton's, and the wagon load
had gone this way, Ham driving. John
was going around and up the hill road,
iu the direction of th chopping, but was
met by Craig at the joint above named.
Craig aaked him if he was going to haul
all tbe corn away, to which Overton re
plied : " Yes, by , I aw ; and if you
tool with me about it III tear h out of
you.' Cmig mid " I reckon yoe
won't," and u ith this drew his gun and
fired. Overton fell, pierced through the
laetrs with buckshot. He alio had one in
his arm, face ami hand.
Craif advaaeed toor throe stet to
him, when Oterum arov and clinched
him, saying . M You'd Letter finith me,
Jim." "Crau; replied " By , that's
what I set in for." lie then, using bis
gun dub fashion, struck Overton on tbe
head, which loosned the latter's hold,
aad he fell Craig then cat hit throat
with s pocket knife, waited until he m
dead, then streigbtoard him oat, and
tdeeed some little atones oa hk eyes to
ap them ekJ. Whea asked why he
dad this, he aalJ : " Overton waa all
deal) U I np aad looked so agly that I
thought I would atraightea him oat aad
make a neat pah of it. I didn't kaow
how hwc he'd Ke there. If I had had
any money to pat oa hb evw I would
have pat it thert hat as ( had none I

This is the cise to be made oat hy the
Commonwealth, and very naturally K
strihsa on as Yit: a horrible murder.
Bat there is a aVfteave, and, it acems, a
fo4 one.
Overtaa was a dcferate maa ; had
killed cam or two men and stabbed and
cat others without aay provocation. He
was a ntnawav from Louisville, and
there are tome doubt about Overton
being his nam. He paid some parties
mon -y aa as indocemeat to their getting

In the first place, I admit that I did
tree a rheumatic grandfather of mine in
the wiaW of He was old and
inexpert at rliuihtng trees. But with a
heartieas brutality that is characteristic
of me, I ran him out of the front door
in his night shirt at the point of a shot

because he snored. I -will do it again if
I ever hare another grandfather. I am

I candidly acknowledge that I ran
away at the'battle of Gettysburg. My
friends have tried to smooth over this
fact hy asserting that I merely got lo
hind a tree, that I did so for tbe purpose
of imitating Washington, who went into
the woods at Yallcv Ford to prav. It
is a miserable subterfuge. I struck out
tn a straight line for the Tiojmc of Can
cer, amply because j was scared. I
wanted my country saved, but I pre-
terroa to nave somebody cle save it I
entertain that preference yet. If the
bubble of reputation can be obtained

suddenly over the lence and go home.
My invariable practice in war has been
to take out of a fight two-thirds more men
than I took in. This seems to be Napo

My financial views arc of tLo moat de

A XJacUlon of Intarait to Printers
JiKticeM the IWt Wright yeaienlay
deri!el a case of considerable interent
to both printers and pahliahers and tye
founders. Tbe suit was an action of re
jdevin, hroaght hy II. O. Hhaw, of the
Pacific Life, against Shetiff Nnaan, to
recover a qaaatity of tyje and printing
material which Lad been hml on br
the Hberitl The piaiatid' contended
that und-r the Code this projsrtv vra
exempt from execution, at it formal the
tools or impiemeats of aa artisan, hy
means of which he supported himself
awl family. After a number of experts
and witnenMA had h-ea examined, Jus
tice Wright, ia denying the motion for a
non suit, held that the design ami e&ct
of the law of exemption were to secure
to men the use and enjoyment of the
imtiltumntu by which they are accos
totaed to obtain sahsiataaet" in their rr
tectir oorapAtiona. The exemption is
not merely reetricted to the tools uv-d
by the arttma a i h his own hnK but
cost.priae each in character and amount
ac are mMaaay to enable him to pro
ctJte hia appropria hoatneai m a con

the only role by hch it can be rettrirt
i h that of good sease aad durretion
ia reference to the citcaaunances of each
partkalar case. It would he too narrow
