Other scenes surround you, All unlike the past; Other ties have bound you Tell me, will they last ? Brightly bloom the roses All dcog your way; Every evening closes On a happy day. E:rth with pleasure meets you, Much has cha to give; But the love that greets you Tell me-vill it live Will It ba tender As my love" has been ? Think you it will render Happiness wilhin Will the faint affection Of another, be Like the recollection Of try love for thee ? Let earth's gems be scatteied When your scornful eye Leave the hopos you shattered, In the dust to die ! Poets filled with passion, May thy beauty sing; They will fade with fashion, Like the joys they bring. Fickle fancy often Shall thy heart estrange; It will never .ofien It will DL'ver change ! Bent upon the pleasure Which the world imparts, You a life shall measure Breaking human hearts ! KOW HE CAME TO BE MARRIED. Ic may be funny, hut I've done it. I've gor a rib and a baby. Shadows departed cigar boxes, oyater stews, brandy cock-tails, boot-jacks, abseond ini; shirt button", whist and dunijohn. Shadows resent h"op-skirrs, band boxe, nbbo'is, gart rs, long stockings, juviuile dresses, tin trumpets, bits, piregoric, hive yrup, lirtle willow chiirs, cradle-1, sugar teat, rhubarb, senna, salt., squill- and doctor bills. I'd just tell you how 1 got it. I was always the d.imdet, the inot tea-cust-ard, bashful fellow you ever did see; it was kinder in my line'to betaken with the shakes every time I saw a pretty girl approaching me, and I'd cross the street any time v,v her than face one; twasn't because I did'nt like the critters, for if I was behind the fence looking through a knot-hole., I could not look long enough. Well, my sister Lib gave a party one night, and I started away from home beeuu-e I was too bashful to face the music. I hung around the house whist linj Old Dan Tucker, dancing to keep my fei-t warm, watching the heads bob bing up and down behind the window curtains, and wishing the thundering paty would break up, so I could get to toy room. I smoked up a bunch of cig'irs, and it wa getting mighty un comfortable, I co'iclu-led to shin up the door post. No sooner said than done, and I soon found myself snug in bed. Now,' Fays 1, 'let her rip ! Dance till your wind gives out.' And cuddling down under the quilty, Morpheus grab bed mo. I was dreaming of floft shell crabs and stewed tripe, and having a good time, when somebody knocked at the door, and woke mo up. 'Rap' again. I laid low. -Rap, rap, rap !' Then I heard a whispering, and I knew that there was a whole raft of galsoutside. Then Lib sings out: 'Jack, arc you there V 'YoV says I. Then came a roar of laughter. 'Let us in,' says she. 'I won't ssys I. 'Can't you let a fellow alone V 'Are you abed V s&ys Bhe. J am,' Bays L 'Get out,' says she. 'I won't,' says I. Then came ncoher laugh. By thunder! 1 began to get riled. 'Getont you petticoated scarecrows. Can't you get a beau vithout hauling a fellow out of bed I won't go home with you -I won't, so you may clear out !' And throwing a boot at the do r I felt better. But presently I heard a still, small voice, very much like my sister Lib's, and it said: 'Jack, you'll havo t get up for all the girls' things are thero.' Oh mercy ! what a pickle ! Think of me iu bed, all covered with muffs, shawls, bonnets and cloaks, and twenty girls outside the door, waiting to get io If I had stopped to think I should have panicked on the spot. As it was, I rolled out among the bonnet ware and ribbons in a hui'ry. Smash went the millinery in every directio'. I had to dress in the dark for there was a crack in the dcor, and girls will peep, and the way I tumbled was death on straw hats. The critical moment cam. I opened the doer and found myself rirrht among the women. Oh, my leghorn !' cried one. 'My dear dailing winter velvet! cried another, and they pitched in, they pull ed me this way and that, boxed my cars and one bright-eyed little piece-Sal her name was, put her arms arouud my neck, and kissed me right on the lips. IJum-.m nature couldn't stand that and I gave her as good as ehe sent. It was th fir.t time 1 ever got the taste, and it was powerful good I believe I could have kised that gal from Julius Cro.jar to i he Fourth of July. 'Jack,' said she, 'wo are ?ory tc dis turb you, but won't you see me home ?' 'Yes, I ill,' said I. I did do it, and had anothfr smack at the gate. Alter that we kinder to k a turtle doving after each other, both of us strh :n'like a barn 1 of new cider when we l o were away from each oth r. 'Twas a glorious Summer day. The sun wa netting buhind a distant hen roost, the bull frogs were commenc ing their evening song, and pollywogs iu their native mud puddles, were prc piring themselves for the shades of night, and Sal and myself sat npon an untiquated bick-log listening to the music of nature, such as tree toads, roosters, and grunting pigs, and now and tlnn the music of a jackass was wafted to our ears by the gentle zephyrs th-it sighed among the mullen stocks, and heavily laden with the delicious oders of hen-roosts and pig-styes The last lingering rays of the setting sun glancing from the solitary horse man, shone through a knot hole in a hog pen, full in Sd's face, dyeing her hair an orange peel hue, and showing off my thread-bare coat to a bad advan tage; one of my arms was around Sal's waist, my hand resting on the small of her back, she was toying with my auburn locks of jot black hue, she was almost gone and I was almost ditto. She looked like a grasshopper dying with the hiccups, and I felt like a mud turtle choked with a cod-fish ball. Sal, says I, in a voice as inusicil as the notes of a dying swao,wiil you have me V She raised her eyes heavenward, and clasped me by the hand, had an attack of the heaves and blind staggers, and with a sigh that drew her shoe stri-gs to her palate, said yes. She gave clean out then, and squat ted in my lap. 1 hugged her till I broke my suspenders, and her breath smelled of onions iho had eaten two weeks before. Well, to make a long story short she set the day, and we practiced for four weeks every night how we would enter the room to be married, till we could walk as gracefully as a couple of Mus covy ducks. The night, the company and the minister cme, the sigoal wa given, and . rm in arm wo went through the hall. Wewerejuit entering tht parlor door when down I went kerslap on the oil cloth, pulling dowa Sal after me. Soma cussed fellow had droppid! banana skin oo the floor, and it flooerd me. It split a big hole in my cissi-" meres, right under my dress coat tail. It was too late to back out; so clasping ray hand over it, we marched in and wera spliced and taking a seat I watch ed the kissing the bride operation. My groomsman was tight, and he kissed her till I jumped up to take a slice, when, oh, horror I a little six year oid imp had erawled behind me end pulled my shiit through the hole in my pant, and pinned it to the chair, so that when I jumped up I displayed to the aston ished multitude a trifle more vhi' mu-din than was pleasant. The women giggled, then men roarel, and I got mad, but wa3 finally put to bed, and there my troubles ended. Good night. Shelby Times How She CnredHer Hushnnd of the Heart Disease There is a man up in the Seventh Ward that hasn't spoken to his wife for over a week. lie ia so mad that he will not go h mo to his meals, aad the other day his wife went t hii of fice to get sir dollars to pay for some shoes and he told a clerk to pay her off and let her go. He grates his teeth when he goes home nights and corned out of the house every morning swear ing. She came ajokeon him, that was all. He has for years beer, telling her zhui he had got the heart disease, and tint he should go off some time in the nb'ht. She had got sick of such kind of talk, and after heiring it for thirteen years, when she knew he wua as nealthy as a yearling. Why ho didn't even know where hi heart was, and couldn't point out the location of any particular portion of his internal improvements. Hut he kept talking aoout death ev ery little while, and she said she would break up that littb gams as soon as she could think of any way to do so A speJl ago she bought one of those India rubber water bags, for keeping hoc wator at the feet, instead of using bot tles.. It would hold about three quarts and her husband didn't know anything about it. One night after nhe had had the water bag to her faet for a couple of hours, until they were about as warm as a piece of zinc, and her husband was snoring away by note, she thought what a good joke it would be to put it on his stomach. The bag was about as large a3 a cow's liver, and as warm as a shingle on a boy. It hidn't been on his chest and other baggage over two minutes when he slowly opened Jiis eyes. She stutf.-d the upper works of her nightgown info her mouth to keep from laughing. He raised up his head and said, "Harriet, my end has come." f Which end, Joiah," said she, as jhe rolled over, "your head or your feet ?" and then she put a pillow in her mouth and reached over to him and unscrewed tho nozzle that holds the water in the big. "I am dying, Egypt, dying," said he. "My heart is enlarged to three times its natural size, and 0, 1 am bleeding to death !" She had opened tho nozzle and ths three quarts cf hot water wa pouring over him, saturating him from head to heels. She bad Dot meant to let cut more than half a pint of water on him, but when it got to flowing sho ould not stop it, bo she got out of bed and told him to save himself. He at tempted to itop the flow of blood, and she struck a light and asked him if his life preserver had not sprung a leak, nd then he looked nt the rubber ha, and went and run himself through a clothes wringer, and be slept on the lounge the rest of the niht, and he says his wife is the meanest woman that ever draw ed the breath of life. She tells her friends that Jotiah has been miyaca lonaly cured of h?art di?s 1 1 si S.1 is
